Seems like a better policy in a country where vaccination rate >80%. If my kids go to a public school and a significant proportion of kids in the school have parents who won't vaccinate them, that's a different sort of problem.

And as for performative, the U.S requires fully vaxxed and boosted travelers to the U.S. to have a negative test within 1 day to enter the country, presumably to ensure that no COVID gets into a country where it is endemic.

Yes, performative. What I have seen people (e.g., Tyler Cowen) say, though, is that the government wins support for other stuff through this sort of COVID theater. Just not enough of it, I guess.
