Imagine advocating for Tyranny, giving up all your hard-won liberties, and trying to strip other people of theirs, because you are afraid of a virus with a 99% survival rate, that you are double vaccinated against… All this while believing you are the good guy!

Why do people take that view? I don’t think it’s because they have developed a scientific mind, I think it goes back to the craving for security and the fear of risk. I think that people will always tend to give credence to somebody who says, ”I know the way to abolish this particular risk.” Because when people are sufficiently frightened, their craving for security will make them submit to almost anything.

The Mass Media and the Big Tech are spreading a contagious disease called “Fear”

The thesis held by the official media, the governments, social media and generally speaking the tribes of the Left is that everything that is happening is basically fine and it needs to happen to reduce the impact of the virus. Like masks, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and passports.

I regarded myself as a liberal until the covid outbreak, I started off broadly in that group who followed all the rules, I was very careful, I still am, and I am not playing this virus down at all; if you are elderly and vulnerable it is a nasty illness; I don’t want to pretend it is not. But what I want to emphasize here is not like we are living in the West surrounded by a bunch of covid deniers, afraid of having a microchip implanted, but what is really happening is a crisis of institutional trust.

I think that is the main reason why this debate is so divisive. There is a small loud group of people who are censoring and banning what they consider to be dissidents, and at the same time, we have the mass media and politicians giving contradictory information about the restrictions, the virus, and the vaccine that, of course, combined with the paranoia, is only feeding into pre-existing ideas about whether you trust the ones who rule us now or not.

Yes, the pandemic is serious, yes, it causes additional deaths, but I cannot regard a disease from which at least 99% of people recover and survive as sufficiently serious for such authoritarian measures.

I cannot regard a crisis, which has resulted in a small increase in the risk as sufficient to justify locking healthy people up in their homes, and forcing them to get the jab or lose their job; and when I say small, I think a good way of getting this into proportion is to look at the ways that for instance, what is the average age at which people die with the virus, well, it is about 82. What is the average age at which people die of anything? It is very slightly less. So, we are not looking at something which involves a risk of an order of magnitude greater than that which we face in everyday life. The risk of pandemic diseases is an inherent part of human existence and has been from the beginning of time.

The basic answer to this is that you have to decide, and it is essentially a value judgment- what is the degree of risk that you are prepared to accept?

There are people who say that no risks should be accepted, that no additional deaths from a disease like covid which can be prevented should be allowed, the only criteria therefore is, is there some measure that we can take to avoid or reduce these risks?

The problem with that is that it attaches no value to all the various other respects in which the countermeasures undermine our national life. It attaches no value to the economic destruction. It attaches no value to the very severe educational damage. It attaches no value to the fact that interactions with other human beings are not just an optional extra, it is not just a sort of leisure choice, it is a basic human need. And I think you have to accept that there is more to life than the avoidance of death.

150.000 people die every day of non-covid-related deaths. Do we lock people up to protect all those other deaths too?

---

We have not learned anything… A New variant, now the precedent is set, what we do is we shut down society… Again!

What I am concerned about is not simply the danger of another new variant causing additional deaths, but the fact that this is a model, which is coming to be accepted as a way of dealing with all manner of collective problems we may come in the future.

There is no longer a barrier at all

Under existing statutes, the government has the power to do just about anything they want under covid laws. Two years ago, we used to have something called the Constitution that protected us from a despotic use of those powers, and today, those conventions which protected our liberties are all discarded.

The Empire of Fear

The Government has exaggerated existing fears

Western nations had contingency plans for pandemics in place. And they were predicated on the idea that you would try to isolate the vulnerable and those already infected, you wouldn’t lock up healthy people in their houses. Why? Well, because of these kinds of principles we have of non-coercion and the autonomy of individuals.

What changed the West’s worldview was when in 2020 Italy dared to follow the Chinese example in ordering a national lockdown, and then all the rest of the countries continued with this once they realized they could get away with it, and suddenly, like magic, all the Western principles went out the window.

China was able to do that because it doesn’t have a culture of liberty. It is a totalitarian state, which is founded upon the principle that human beings are simply tools of collective national policy.

In the West that is different from our tradition, and I think most objective people would recognize that.

I very much fear that we have taken an irreversible step towards being more “Chinese” because the problem is that when you depend for your basic freedoms on convention rather than law, once the convention is broken, democracy is broken. Once you get to a position where it is unthinkable, to lock people up nationally, shut down schools and businesses, except when somebody thinks it is a good idea, then frankly, there is no longer a barrier at all. We have crossed that threshold. And governments will not forget these things.

What they sold us was something like, “well, this is a very serious pandemic, We have to temporarily depart from our normal principles, and that’s fine because we can go back to being less like China and more like America and Europe when all this is over.” But to be honest, and after all this madness with the vaccine mandates and the new variants, the illusion to return to normal is fading away, and the reason for that is because our status as a free society does not actually depend upon our laws or our Constitution anymore. It depends on convention; it depends on a collective instinct as to the right way to behave.

In case you have not noticed, people are not arguing anymore about how dangerous this virus is and how can we protect the vulnerable, but what they are really doing, under the surface, is arguing about what kind of person you are. If you have blindly obeyed or not, whether you are a good or bad person. It is a moral question now, and why not? a new religion where the vaccine has become the key to salvation, and those who dare to ask questions are heretics who deserve to burn in hell.

Liberal principles become an unaffordable luxury

So, the question is, was this threat dire enough? Well, there it becomes interesting because the public’s perception of the threat is orders of magnitude inflated beyond what it actually is.

When you poll people, if you ask them – how many people do you think have died from Covid? people believe it’s, 6 to 10% of the population, when in fact, for people that are under the age of 70 there is a 0.05% mortality risk that is, 99.95% survival after infection for people under 70 years old. (to know more click here and watch the video with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of Medicine at Stanford University)

So, what does that say? Well, it means there has been a lot of fear-mongering, which is obvious, and in the West, public opinion really matters in a way that it doesn’t in China. So, if you want to get people to do something, the fear cannot come from the state from outside, it has to come from inside from a mental state in the individual, and I think that, so our means of social control is not brute force. It is fear-mongering. And fear-mongering clearly is a prominent part of the business model of mass media, and that seems to be getting integrated with state functions in a sort of symbiosis.

☝☝Read that above again but now replace the word “Unvaccinated” for “Gay”… and after that, let’s take a trip back to the ’80s ⬇⬇

John Stuart Mill regarded public sentiment and public fear as the principal threat to a liberal democracy, precisely because it was democratic.

To come back to the point, those opinions polls, the reason why people are in favor of measures against a virus is because obviously, they are frightened about the virus. And the reason they are frightened about the virus is because they had been told that it was frightening. And so, we are now in a slightly circular world where the government has a campaign about something, the population responds to it with the obvious response, which is fear in this instance, and then the government points to opinion polls saying, look, the population wants more restrictions, therefore, we must do more of them.

Start-up Founders, here is a proper business model:

• Create a social problem
• Appeal to the emotions of the masses
• Ram fear and panic down the masses throats, through the media
• Commandeer the masses to subscribe to your solution or be ostracized

Great Marketing. Don’t you think?

Our Levels of hysteria have become pathetic:  First, we wanted to protect the vulnerable and keep the hospital system from collapsing, today we want to terrorize a minority of unvaccinated people and freak out because someone double vaccinated is asymptomatic infected.

If you adopt coercion as your model, you are going to have to stop making fundamentally important distinctions. You are going to have to refuse to distinguish between people who are vulnerable and people who are not. And that is one of the major factors that makes the current system so despotic and so irrational. The justification that comes from “We have to protect lives”, even if you are not at a risk, and with that line alone you can justify anything the government wants.

They can justify social media shutting down conversations, They can justify the media deliberately taking one side of the story all the time and ignoring the other one, They can justify vaccine passports, They can justify lockdowns of the unvaccinated, I mean, what can they not justify if they get to that position?

We move towards a Chinafication of the West

…Can we go back to being not China?

So, there are two conversations you can have, firstly, there is the one about is the vaccine safe, and whether should you, have it? And that is a conversation that is been secretly going on for a long time, which everybody is furious about increasingly because this whole conversation has fallen into calling anyone who questions this a selfish conspiracy theorist and populist covid denier.  

Are we willing to have a conversation about making compulsory the vaccination of an entire population of experimental vaccines, authorized for emergency use, still in phase 3 trials that do not end until 2023 against a virus that 99.5% of people who get infected survive?

…This, together with the fact that pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued if the vaccine hurts or kill.

And please, stop being so silly and do not compare this vaccine to other vaccines in the past, not even with the influenza vaccine, and other prescribed medicines like Birth Pills, which are optional and not mandatory.

Liberals: “We Believe in Equality, Inclusion, and Diversity… Well, as long as you are vaccinated!”

We already have a very authoritarian and divided society, where we can very clearly see the so-called unvaxxed, who are often represented as anti-vax or far-Right actors, tin foil hats, or general conspiracy nuts, becoming the new class of people it is acceptable to demonize, and abuse, and even threaten to kill. All of this because of the personal choice that grown people have made.

It is a subject on which suddenly society feels entitled to force anybody to take an intrusive step with somebody else’s body, but they ignore that this is a subject on which everybody is entitled to their own view and that their view will not be universally shared.

So I do not object to people having their own choice of having the vaccine or not. I don’t want vulnerable people to get infected and die for the virus, but I don’t want either to be responsible for pushing healthy people with strong immune systems to get vaccinated and then later see them suffering from any side effects or even death. Do you?

---

The government is doing its best to pretend that the vaccine makes a difference and at the same time, that it does not make a difference.

Even if you get your jab, they will not let you live normal, they will tell you that you still will need to wear a mask because you still can get infected and infect others, you got to keep your distance, and face almost the same restrictions that you have had for one year ago when you were not vaccinated. In a way, your vaccination status has not changed a thing.

Feel free to blame the unvaccinated, keep repeating that crap, and do what they say on tv, but please, don’t be so cheeky calling other people stupid unless that is your own reflection in the mirror.

The unvaccinated are the ones who are assuming the risk if they don’t take it, (if the vaccine works as they say), so why do you care about them? Are you protected, aren’t you? If not, why did you get the vaccine then?

---

The one thing the vaccinated have in common with the unvaccinated is that they will both never be fully vaccinated, as soon as your covid passport is expired you will need to have an extra dose otherwise you will be unvaccinated, again!

Then there is this other conversation, which is about whether your vaccine status should be used to demonstrate your acceptable position in society. A conversation about creating a society in which you can only access many of its services, many of its positions with a digital passport that explains that you have been taking your shots periodically. A society where anyone can have access to your medical record.

Our society is right now divided between a smaller group that is resisting taking the vaccine for all sorts of different explanations and reasons and a majority that is increasingly punishing these people for making health choices they do not agree with.

We are running our society to suddenly say that every human being needs to take the latest government-mandated vaccine and produce a document to prove it, otherwise, they are essentially outcasts, that is to say, they may not be able to go to a restaurant, get on a plane, go to work or leave their homes.

You even have this quarantine camp in Australia for covid suspects, where you are forced to stay against your will for 14 days even if you have tested negative for covid. Otherwise, you get a 5000 dollar fine. Regardless of your vaccine status.

Or what about Austria, from the 1^st of February 2022, up to a 7000 euro fine or prison for 6 weeks if you are over 14 years old and refuse the vaccine?

…Does this make any sense to you?

Covid passports are an invasion of privacy. There is no conspiracy needed to see that the way that this is being managed through the vaccine is controversial.

It’s always worth taking a step back and looking at the context.

For two years the whole of society has been pretty much terrified of this virus. Now you could argue about whether it should have been that way or not. People are still frightened, so they will keep accepting things now that they would not accept before, if you talk to most people about what is going on, many of them are concerned, but they comply because basically, they want this to be over, not because they really care about national health.

What We are Accepting in the Name of tackling the virus is becoming increasingly disturbing.

…If only it was about the virus at this point…

The question you have as an individual is where you want to draw the line. Where your limits are?  And that is a personal question for everybody here, I, for example,  am drawing my line at “lockdowns of the unvaccinated”, “I am drawing my line at “vaccine passports” and I am drawing my line at “something that segregates us” considering the fact that everybody came together when the virus first came.

In 2020, it was so beautiful to see how humankind was united as one against something much more important than these shallow things.

At the initial stages, people felt like there was a sense of solidarity because people were coming together against a common enemy. But, as soon as they introduced experimental vaccines into the conversation, and especially the mandatory vaccines, which, we cannot forget, are produced by a profit-making company, some people started being concerned about it and started having debates about whether they were safe or not, to which the government answer was, ignoring them, and introducing vaccine mandates and demonizing the people who will not take that, the result, a huge division in society.

We have got now all this fury and abuse, against people who do not want to be vaccinated or who even raise their voices against it.

A critical point we have reached even in our freedom of opinion and expression is this difficulty of saying anything on social media, even for professional doctors and epidemiologists, it is something that we seem to have normalized. The fact that Silicon Valley has decided what misinformation is and what we are allowed to say. And again, you can always use an emergency to justify that.

We are just slipping into this madness, without really having a conversation about it, because it is almost impossible to have publicly a conversation like this now; most people are not qualified to argue about the efficacy of the vaccine, without getting emotional, but that’s not the point I am discussing here but about the ethical and legal issues around the covid restrictions.

Civil disobedience has been happening all along

My chief objection to the current rules is that they are designed to suppress individual choice and that the sooner that we get back the better.

There are I think two forms of solidarity. There is the solidarity of mutual sympathy and support. And there is the solidarity of intolerant conformism. And what we are witnessing, in relation to opinion, on covid is the second of those things, not the first.

Polls may show that 80-something percent of people approve of the restrictions. But if you would follow every citizen around your country 24 hours a day, you will see quite clearly that not everyone is obeying the regulation. They start by obeying it scrupulously, they then disobey it in minor respects, and the respects become less minor and more frequent. And you will eventually get to the position where the law is basically ignored wholesale.

Governments and Mass Media don’t pay attention to peaceful protests

Peaceful protests are just like a Christmas Parade, a bunch of people on the street for a while who then go back home and nothing changes.

Things don’t start to happen because there is a revolution in the streets, they happen because millions of people make an individual choice of spontaneously quietly ignoring the law and this is one of the most effective ways of ensuring that the law will be changed.

Do you want this to be over? do you want to go back to normal? Don’t Comply!

As long as you keep doing what they tell you to do, they won’t stop. Have you ever been in a toxic relationship? how did you stop the abuse? Setting boundaries? Ignoring the abuser? Or, pleasing him?

🏆 🏆 Jackpot – You got the answer!

Sometimes the most public-spirited thing that you can do with despotic laws like these is to ignore them

Yes, deaths are dramatic. Governments don’t want to be criticized and they are always going to be much more influenced by death statistics, than it is about, for example, the decline of gross domestic product. Yet, the decline in gross domestic product is also a killer. Poverty is a killer. No society ever saved lives by making itself poorer. But the way in which it wastes lives by making itself poorer is much more subtle, much more gradual, and much less visible. And so they make less impact on people. But still, you don’t realize how many lives you are sacrificing since 2 years ago with these mandates and the ones who will suffer from their mental health and all the accumulated debts in the future. Because, honestly, where do you think is coming from all the money we have been using for keeping people confined at home? Huh?

My final thoughts

• Governments should not treat information as a tool for manipulating public behavior. They should be calmer than the majority of their citizens, they should be completely objective.

• Governments dealing with scientific issues should not allow themselves to be influenced by a single caucus of scientists. They should always test what they are being told in a way that, for instance, judges test expert opinion by producing a counter expert, and working out which set of views stacks up best.

You don’t see me talking about vaccines or restrictions anymore, basically because I feel like speaking about it would mean to continue giving importance to something that has not. I already set my mind, I have made my own decisions and I don’t need to prove myself to you.

I know there are people out there who are afraid for their children and want to protect their lives. I know they are having a hard time and cannot explain with their words the hell they are living right now with all these mandates and restrictions without being bullied, and being called anti-vaxxers.

Wanting control over your own body is selective for some…

Anyone outraged at the Texas Abortion Law but has no problem with vaccine mandates is a hypocrite!

I write this for you who think are so smart and look down your nose at anyone who doesn’t see the world the same way as you do. For all of you who work from home and are throwing stones and pointing fingers at others and calling them tin foil hats because they don’t follow your narrative, or let’s say better, the mass media narrative because obviously, you are incapable of having an opinion of your own.

You, who rather get asymptomatic children vaccinated because you are afraid to get infected, dare to call others selfish?

Who is more selfish? Me for not taking the vaccine or you getting your third shot knowing Africa has only 6% of its population vaccinated?

…Gosh, probably they must be dying like flies over there, are you not feeling guilty about it?

…But looking back, I honestly think Africa has bigger problems than Omicron… Only in Europe we can afford to worry about a flu.

Let’s not pretend that Governments care about people dying of covid.

People have been dying every single day from lack of healthcare, homelessness, crime, hunger, and they don’t even blink an eye, and now they want you to think they care deeply about people dying from a 1% fatality rate flu?

If you really care about others…

This is a virus that attacks people of all ages with weakened immune systems, right? So, why don’t we start to encourage healthy lifestyles that make people stronger instead of inefficient vaccine passports that don’t prevent you from catching the virus and infect others anyway?

Natural immunity is great there’s just one problem…..

No one can get filthy rich off it!

If it is like we care about other people’s lives, why are not we expanding the range of alternatives to control the infection instead of depending only on mandatory vaccines every 3 months?

Imagine a world where you had to become a customer of a pharmaceutical company in order to fully participate in society

Before you go forward with this craziness consider asking yourself first, are vaccine passports an effective way to stop spreading infection, or are they just a divisive political tool of punishment aimed at blaming people who are not vaccinated?
