Social media has been in an uproar since a Dutch member of European Parliament posted a video of a hearing in which a Pfizer director admitted the company never tested whether its Covid mRNA vaccine prevents transmission prior to its approval for emergency use.
Though the fact that Covid mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmission was, of course, abundantly clear from the data soon after their implementation, this myth was a primary justification for vaccine passes, and a primary cause of the unprecedented vitriol launched at those who refused Covid vaccines throughout 2021 and continuing through today.
Not only did governments exert this pressure through policy, but in many cases politicians and officials used their office to deliberately stoke the social stigmatisation of the unvaccinated. Here’s a look back at some of the unprecedented vitriol that was launched at those who refused Covid vaccines from 2021 and beyond.
Officials in many jurisdictions proposed making the unvaccinated pay more for healthcare.
In Victoria, Australia – where lockdowns were longer than in perhaps any other city in the world – one politician proposed cutting the unvaccinated out of the national health system entirely.
A particularly disturbing idea that began to gain serious traction among the elite commentariat was to have hospitals triage emergency care to serve the unvaccinated last, or even denying healthcare to the unvaccinated entirely – a fairly clear-cut crime against humanity.
One vocal proponent of the idea of triaging emergency care to disfavour the unvaccinated was David Frum, Senior Editor of the Atlantic, most famous for his outspoken support for the invasion of Iraq. When his infamous tweet on the subject sparked an uproar, Frum doubled down.
Piers Morgan agreed that the unvaccinated should be denied emergency care.
Shockingly, this appalling idea of triaging emergency care based on vaccination status is still being proposed to this day.
The demonisation of the unvaccinated was, of course, far from limited to healthcare. Vilifying the unvaccinated became a kind of illiberal fad among the elite commentariat. The U.S. CDC even paid screen writers and comedians to promote Covid vaccines, which in some cases involved paying them to mock the unvaccinated.
In a bout of recidivism to the early 20th century, Austria and Germany introduced the chilling concept of “lockdown for the unvaccinated”.
“Lockdown for the unvaccinated” gained traction in the English-speaking world as well.
Most countries, cities and states across the Western world introduced vaccine passes that their own citizens had to show in order to partake in daily life. The World Health Organisation published an extensive document on implementing a digital vaccine pass system, including an international vaccine status registry and instructions on how to later revoke someone’s vaccine pass.
The most dystopian of these vaccine pass systems was in Lithuania, where the unvaccinated were banned from nearly all public spaces and employment outside their homes; the few shops where they could purchase essentials had to post large red signs on their doors indicating that unvaccinated persons could be present.
And of course, who could forget Justin Trudeau’s classic fuhrer-style rant about having to share public transportation with the unvaccinated, despite Government documents later revealing that he had no science to back any of these claims.
Like so much of the response to Covid, these vaccine passes and the illiberal fad of stigmatising the unvaccinated was unscientific, unprecedented, ineffective, totalitarian, brutal and dumb.
It was never remotely realistic for any government to expect every single person to get vaccinated, especially when the vaccine in question involved a novel genetic-based therapy. Thus, these proposals to impose draconian hardships on those who refused Covid vaccines would inevitably involve the state imposing draconian hardships on a sizable portion of the population.
According to former Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff – one of the most credible voices on the subject – Covid vaccines likely yielded benefits for the elderly and vulnerable, but it remains entirely unclear whether Covid vaccines have yielded any net benefit at all for healthy adults and especially for children. Coupled with the still-unknown risks associated with mRNA technology and the now well-documented cases of death and serious injury from these vaccines, for governments across the world to have exerted extreme pressure on children and healthy adults to get these vaccines is absolutely sickening.
That some healthy young people were surely coerced into receiving an injection that led to their death or serious injury, when the data showed that the benefits did not outweigh the risks, is an unconscionable tragedy.

It’s all crap, and it has been since the beginning. Here’s a very simple piece of investigation I performed eleven years ago, in January 2013:

I’d just love to know what the downtick is about.
Care to stump up a fiver to enlighten little me, downticker?!
These are climate alarmists. And ofcourse their comments here would be welcome as it lets us see how absurd they are.
I do not understand why poorly sited stations are thought to have +\- errors.
All cases I have read about seem to have sited with causes of systematic error and none are negative. I have never heard of a station where there was persistent artificial cooling effects. The only errors I have read about are systematic bias upwards.
The East Park complex is a a glazed roof, which clearly acts as a greenhouse. Here is a view from underneath. No wonder alarmists refer to the greenhouse effect.
We are now about to enter into a Labour Government Green Cloud Cuckoo Land where we will all apparently get cheap clean energy. ——-Except where in the world is there a country with such a thing? Cheap clean energy means only one thing –wind and sun. So what country in the world has cheap wind and sun energy? —–The answer is NONE. The countries with the most wind, Germany and Denmark have the highest electricity prices. So why is the wind in the UK going to be cheap? It certainly isn’t so far. A quick look over our electricity bills since we started going daft for wind will reveal that.
The cretinous Green Goon Ed Miliband who gave us the Climate Change Act in 2008 and therefore all of this wind, surely cannot believe his luck that the Tories had an 80 seat majority and chucked it all away after infighting about a silly birthday cake and now he is going to have his grubby eco socialist hands on our energy supply. Although Boris and the fake Tories were heading down the same sort of Green fantasy land that panders to the UN and WEF Sustainable nonsense, it is Miliband and Labour that will really start to hammer us with this pretend to save the planet communism.
In order to get away with this tyranny you need a very plausible excuse and that excuse is Global warming (climate change). But what you find upon closer inspection of this issue is a smidgeon of the truth elevated into a planetary emergency, but with NO EVIDENCE. So because there is no evidence the climate establishment has resorted to calling failed models evidence instead. They think that if the present some output from a model and refer to it as “science” that the public who hate arguing or discussing science will just accept it and guess what—-they mostly do. So what you get is “warmest ever recorded” and “hottest ever” based on a temperature record that is s complete dogs breakfast of adjusted and manipulated data that if it was happening in any other walk of life the perpetrators would be arrested and charged with fraud.
——OK we are all sick of the fake Tories but if the UK public think life will be sweet under Labour and Miliband than I am sorry but please keep your electricity bills in a folder and see them skyrocket after the phony climate charlatans take over in July.
If we are going to have a Liebour Government with a mega-majority in the HoC, then the opposition has to come from outside on the streets every weekend. We should start next Saturday, BEFORE the election, across the country.
I’m all for that, the Palestine protesters can’t always have the streets to themselves. Though Muslims do seem to be good at dominating public spaces.
Except you would struggle to get everyone in your street to agree to something never mind the whole country. ——-We are about to get what we deserve—An eco socialist pretend to save the planet government that will have smart meters forced into every house to control the supply and cost via dynamic pricing, gas central heating ripped out, taxes on everything based on carbon footprint, priced out of going on holiday or eating eat and astronomical energy bills. If we thought the Green nonsense was bad under the Tories then we “ain’t seen nuthin yet”
As an activist with Reform Uk who are the only party to scrap Net Zero We in our constituency have struggled to get sufficient activists to run a half decent campaign. Can anyone who claims to be worried about rising costs complain yet couldn’t be arsed to get off their butts to help us.
Most will still vote for this parasite political class pandering to the UN and WEF—Traitors
I watched the weather on the news at lunchtime and again in the evening yesterday. The max temperature over the next few days was forecast as 28c at lunch. By the end of the day they’d whacked up their prediction to 31c. Someone obviously said 28c didn’t sound alarmist enough.
Top temp in East Sussex this week, 25c for two days, the back down to 19c to 21c for two weeks.
Forecast today for Milan 24c and Turin 23c
Yes that’s right, a reasonable summer’s day in Southern England.
The red on the weather maps means Communism.
However the Beeboids ( those addicted to the BBC) lap it all up and believe the nonsense. Not only that, but they are bringing their children up to fear our normal mild and temperate climate and then wonder why the children are too fearful to go out into the World.
We are lied to on a daily basis. It’s become quite amusing.
I find this terribly unamusing. The climate changers have gone full-scale COVID a while ago and trying to run their racket on endlessly repeated lies and headlines from perfectly random parts of the world where something happening to suite the narrative is happening. The original attempt was quite successful. I hope the rerun will end up rather less so. But I don’t think this can be taken for granted.
But they are getting away with it
Since they’re controlling the MSM, there’s nobody who could effectively challenge them in public. OTOH, insofar stuff like FB comments go, they’re – at least in Germany – getting nothing but scorn for their claims about breaking heat record after heat record while the temperatures in the real world are rather cool for the time of the year and the weather was mostly rainy so far.
Correct and we all realise that the MSM is just the propaganda department (Public Relations as it is called now) of the Climate Industrial Complex
Met Office monthly anomaly now running at minus 1.2C – the first below “average” month this year. No doubt this will be yet another “warm” month after a few days of sunny weather!
” This might surprise, of course, since the Met Office uses these figures to catastrophise recent increases in national and global temperatures, using measurements down to one hundredth of a degree centigrade”
No it doesn’t surprise, it is the logical conclusion of their mendacity.
How, how, how has every government agency become so corrupt? I feel like we are living through the looking glass. The people who work for the government seem to have no shame about this corruption and lunacy. It is becoming the norm. Nothing can be trusted. Nothing.
I think there is a case for leaving London out of weather forecasts. The large urban heat sink, concrete and tarmac, contributes to an exaggerated temperature.
London is shown with the highest temperature almost every day, even though it it false.
