Their original objective is (was?) 70-75% vaccinated as they believe that is required for herd immunity.
Polls suggest the percentage of people who want the vaccine may be around 45-50%.
The "kindest" explanation is they need to pressure/convince/coerce another 25% of the population to get the vax. It's still unethical in my opinion to be coercing and threatening people.
However, the anti-vax rhetoric has been heating up significantly since 2018. And several stong voices in the anti-vax community were suicided. So I'm very, very skeptical they will turn off the pressure at 75% coverage. At any rate, they have convinced a large segment of the population to hate anti-vaxxers, so that's a recipe for unrest right there.
