In so many words — and data — CDC has quietly admitted that all of the indignities of the COVID-19 pandemic management have failed: the masks, the distancing, the lockdowns, the closures, and especially the vaccines; all of it failed to control the pandemic.
It’s not like we didn’t know that all this was going to fail, because we said so as events unfolded early on in 2020, that the public health management of this respiratory virus was almost completely opposite to principles that had been well established through the influenza period in 2006. The spread of a new virus with replication factor R0 of about 3, with more than one million cases across the country by April 2020, with no potentially virus-sterilising vaccine in sight for at least several months, almost certainly made this infection eventually endemic and universal.
COVID-19 starts as an annoying, intense, uncomfortable flu-like illness, and for most people, ends uneventfully two to three weeks later. Thus, management of the COVID-19 pandemic should not have relied upon counts of cases or infections, but on numbers of deaths, numbers of people hospitalised or with serious long-term outcomes of the infection, and of serious health, economic and psychological damages caused by the actions and policies made in response to the pandemic, in that order of decreasing priorities.
Even though numbers of Covid cases correlate with these severe manifestations, that is not a justification for case numbers to be used as the actionable measure, because COVID-19 infection mortality is estimated to range below 0.1% in the mean across all ages, and post-infection immunity provides a public good in protecting people from severe reinfection outcomes for the great majority who do not get serious ‘Long Covid’ on first infection.
Nevertheless, once the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out, with a new large wave of the Delta strain spreading across the U.S. in July-August 2021 even after eight months of the vaccines taken by half of Americans, instead of admitting policy error that the Covid vaccines do not much control virus spread, our public health administration doubled down, attempting then to compel vaccination on as many more people as could be threatened by mandates. That didn’t work out too well as seen when the large Omicron wave hit the country during December 2021-January 2022 in spite of some 10% more of the population getting vaccinated from September through December of 2021.
A typical mandate example: in September 2021, Washington Governor Jay Inslee issued Emergency Proclamation 21-14.2, requiring COVID-19 vaccination for various groups of state workers. In the proclamation, the stated goal was, “WHEREAS, COVID-19 vaccines are effective in reducing infection and serious disease, and widespread vaccination is the primary means we have as a state to protect everyone… from COVID-19 infections.” That is, the stated goal was to reduce the number of infections.
What the CDC recently reported (see chart below), however, is that by the end of 2023, cumulatively, at least 87% of Americans had anti-nucleocapsid antibodies to and thus had been infected with SARS-CoV-2, this in spite of the mammoth, protracted and booster-repeated vaccination campaign that led to about 90% of Americans taking the shots. My argument is that by making policies based on number of infections a higher priority than ones based on the more serious but less common consequences of both infections and policy damages, the proclaimed goal of the vaccine mandate to reduce spread failed in that 87% of Americans eventually became infected anyway.
In reality, neither vaccine immunity nor post-infection immunity were ever able fully to control the spread of the infection. On August 11th 2022 the CDC stated: “Receipt of a primary series alone, in the absence of being up to date with vaccination through receipt of all recommended booster doses, provides minimal protection against infection and transmission (3,6). Being up to date with vaccination provides a transient period of increased protection against infection and transmission after the most recent dose, although protection can wane over time.” Public health pandemic measures that “wane over time” are very unlikely to be useful for control of infection spread, at least without very frequent and impractical revaccinations every few months.
Nevertheless, infection spread per se is not of consequence, because count of infections is not and should not have been the main priority of public health pandemic management. Rather, the consequences of the spread and the negative consequences of the policies invoked should have been the priorities. Our public health agencies chose to prioritise a failed policy of reducing the spread rather than reducing the mortality or the lockdown and school and business closure harms, which led to unnecessary and avoidable damage to millions of lives. We deserved better from our public health institutions.

Are we still just a few weeks behind Italy?
I fear that vaxxports will be “required” to Save Our Christmas.
England is only waiting to see how badly the Celtic Fringe mess up their imposition before following suit.
Once mandated, they will go from nightclubs, concerts and stadia, to all pubs, eateries, recreation and non-essential retail in no time.
Supermarkets and pharmacies might be a tougher sell, although at that point how much resistance will there really be to showing ze papers?
Sorry Roger, I’m not following you around…but I’m inclined to agree. It’s gone a bit quiet suddenly. We’ve been getting back to some sort of day to day “normal”. It’s too good to last. The b@stards know tnis, they are going to fabricate “overwhelmed NHS” stories in the media and boom, in comes their oily, stinking Plan B, which was the only plan right from the start, complete with full vaxxine passport push to indeed, “save Christmas”! Never mind they’ve lost thousands of healthcare workers their jobs, because they exercised the right to not be pumped with the monkey gunk! People, hailed as heroes one minute, now classed as “selfish”, who worked their arses off this last 20 months and probably didn’t get ill! We have to prepare, it’s going to get very dark before the dawn.
when NHS bosses restrict capacity (by making workers stay home because they have been near someone who once tested positive, or because they make the process of treatment more long-winded through pointless rituals such as masks and low capacity waiting rooms) they can create any overwhelming they want.
Even the private hospitals offering care have been bought out so they cannot allow people to pay and get better.
I think plan B was always the real plan A!
Yep!
They can keep their “Christmas”, if it’s about having the freedom to shop till we drop and stuff ourselves silly just for the sake of it. I’d prefer Christmas in a stable, to be honest.
Yes, it is about having that freedom.
All opposed to that freedom are evil.
Sure. The Roman census was about control.
I think it’s clear that the objective here is to completely eradicate the possibility of any “placebo” or control group of citizens.
It still bugs them that Sweden was able to serve this role.
And a few months behind Australia? Which apparently is now the template for the rest of the world.
About six.
No, the Government hopes that enough Italians have submitted to the clot shots so that they can enforce the social credit score apps.
The “virus” got us to the “vaccines”, and the “vaccines” got us to the “vaccine passports”.
They have always been the goal, and now we see why.
Control. Power. Presumption of guilt.
Fascists gotta fash.
We’re not far behind.
Italy was once “everything in the state, nothing against the state, nothing outside the state”
now it’s the medico-fascism of “everyone is jabbed, noone against the jabs, noone unjabbed”
Correct, fascism’s coming home. Very telling that the Italian vaxists comprise the government, media, major corporations and, tellingly, the trade unions. Just like the good old days.
Just like in the UK unfortunately. I see emails from a teachers union EIS, the biggest teachers union up here in Scotland. My wife is teacher and she never reads them, just me as I like to she the guff they push.
The only thing they have banged on for the last year and half is covid, only in the last few months has there been anything but covid in them. Can you guess what they are talking about now? Climate change! Now that’s a surprise, not!
No mention of the children and their outcomes, problems they may be having, or even slightly focusing on the service they should be providing for all to the kids.
It actually angers me each time I read them. These unions are pushing this shit as they are immoral insider scum paid to push the line.
My wife just wants to teach kids and hopefully improve their futures with sound education, this is not something this union gives two hoots about just now, they would rather virtue signal about stuff that has no affect on anyone at school.
Climate change, huh? Next they will probably talk about gender dysphoria, if they haven’t already started.
Don’t forget it’s don’t be racist month.
We’re in the same boat. My wife is also a school teacher and I get the same publications. It requires only a cursory glance to see the propaganda these organizations and leaders are pushing.
And, yes, one would have to be blind and obtuse not to have picked up on the importance of “saving the climate” to their long-term agenda. But this agenda is now being fast-tracked.
… So once we get past COVID, even more draconian measures are in store for us all to save the planet (and the children of course).
“Very telling that the Italian vaxists comprise the government, media, major corporations and, tellingly, the trade unions”
Yet interestingly it doesn’t comprise the actual fascists https://www.dw.com/en/opinion-fascism-still-rears-its-ugly-head-in-italy/a-59483231
Oh geez, what a convoluted mess we are in .. I am holding onto the Idea that we are in the chrysalis, dissolving into a soup, from which we will reform as a beautiful butterfly that just sips nectar instead of devouring everything in sight…
As with most ideologies, fascism can present in various different ways. Established fascist groups are very much still in the WW2-era mould. Covidianism is a new evolution of fascism – it’s superficially different and therefore many people don’t see it for what it is, its ‘enemies’ are not those who fascist groups usually target, but it’s identifiably fascism nonetheless, e.g:
I’m sure the list could go on, but that’s enough for now..
You can add another: rules imposed by a self-conferred elite.
You are with us or you are against us. Those who do not comply are a threat to “safety” and society. So we get: “It’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” We get mass discrimination and segregation – pushed by the elites and State … and bizarrely cheered on by the masses who clearly crave to be protected by a central government nanny. The masses also clearly revel in subjugating those who don’t think as they do (or as they are told).
Needless to say, all elements of our New Normal are a tad disconcerting to those of us who woke up one morning to find we are now undesirables.
And already coming to a place near us.
You beat me to it! When, oh, when will people REALISE this!
I would have the most awesome social credit, if it weren’t for this jab nonsense. I am a model citizen. But they are turning me into a revolutionary.
it’s not really social credit it’s cattle treats. Making populations easier to herd and farm.
Herd, farm and slaughter.
My social credit score will get me tossed into a gulag soon enough.
Ditto, and I said exactly that on the gov.uk survey into the ‘value’ of vax passes too. I didn’t identify myself of course and I am sure my notice of non-compliance has already been consigned to the digital waste basket.
That is so true. To my shame, years ago when people objected to the idea of ID, cctv, Facebook ‘knowing everything you do’, etc etc…I wasn’t bothered. In fact, I used to say to people ‘I don’t mind – I’ve nothing to hide.’ I NEVER realised that this was going to be part of blackmailing me into having something injected into my body that I do not want and will never be able to get rid of! I just didn’t see it coming. But, eighteen months ago, for some reason, I was one of those who could see. I often think it would have been easier if I was one of the 90% – if I was like a FB friend of mine who posted the other day ‘Had my booster, and flu shot today – we are so lucky to live in this country!’ But, dammit, the eyes were yanked open in Feb 20 and I now question just about everything I’ve ever understood from the instruments of propaganda that have worked tirelessly on me since birth.
I’m sure your friend won’t be interested but the flu vaccines have been shown to offer zero benefit.
‘The data included 170 million episodes of care and 7.6 million deaths. Turning 65 was associated with a statistically and clinically significant increase in rate of seasonal influenza vaccination. However, no evidence indicated that vaccination reduced hospitalizations or mortality among elderly persons. The estimates were precise enough to rule out results from many previous studies.’
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/full/10.7326/M19-3075
Yep. But – she’s had it. I think I’d show her if she was vacillating about the vaccination.
I’ve researched government statistics and newspaper accounts dealing with past flu seasons.
In EVERY article I have saved about some past flu outbreak, the article includes this requisite statement or quote: “But so and so stressed that it’s not too late to get your flu shot …”
I mean the entire story before this quote documented that the damn flu shot wasn’t preventing the flu.
If I was penning these stories, I would write, “this year’s flu jab is not a match with the actual flu strain and doesn’t prevent the flu, but officials stressed everyone should still get it anyway.”
Which, I guess is why I don’t have a job at a mainstream media news organization. I don’t think my editors would let me include a sentence to that effect.
Those over 65 are highly flu jabbed. These people make up the demographic that got the Covid-19 scam off the ground. You get flu jabbed at your peril.
There are many similarities. For example, with the flu jab, we are told even if the vaccine doesn’t prevent you getting the flu, it will make the case you do get milder (which is no doubt bogus).
We also never get convincing information on how “effective” the flu jab really is (or isn’t).
For years now we have been told/conditioned to “get our flu jab,” which no doubt did lay the psychological groundwork for people to get their COVID jab.
Our naivety has been counted on for a long time. Everyone is waking up to it in their own time, which is bloody frustrating but seemingly just how it is. It’s a thrilling ride….
Thrilling and chilling.
Ha ha! As would I. I’ve always had a bit of f*ck the system though, I was just waiting for the right time to let it out!
I also think the “end game” includes the push to ban cash and have all money digital. People apparently no longer have autonomy over their own bodies. Soon we will no longer have possession over “our” own money either.
Cash is tracked already more than many think. But yes.
money is just a token for our time (exchanged with others), so it’s just an extension of the seizing of bodily autonomy like income taxes are.
When cash is outlawed – and this (to me) is obviously the goal/plan – it’s game over for this concept known as personal freedom. I don’t know why more people don’t realize this … or maybe I do – when the education system and press have been co-opted and controlled, you eventually have enough people influenced by same who don’t understand what’s being done to them or why.
A bit off topic but I was down in Bournemouth visiting my Mum this week. We went out for a walk and on parking in the public car park found the old ticket machine replaced with one of those card only machines. One lady who had just walked up to the machine got very irrate as she only had a couple of coins in her pocket for the parking. She shouted as she stamped away ‘I hate this bloody world’ I’d have loved to talk and find out more about what she ‘hated’ as I suspect she was ‘one of us’.
I’ve been that lady…
Time to seriously look at other models, particularly living in the gift, I think.
Technically, all your bank accounts can already be frozen by flipping a switch. All that is required is a false pretense that you are a bad guy (and all the rich people of course know it very well, that’s why they “hide” from the government).
Vaccine passports are also a means. The goal is the ever-increasing totalitarian control over every aspect of life of a very heavily culled (and constantly “weeded”) population.
They are a distributed system for checking centrally managed permissions.
I would suggest that the “vaccines” are much more than just stepping stones to “vaccine” passports and that the passports themselves are only a way of enforcing vaccine compliance. The never ending vaccines will be the process which takes us along the rocky road to the trans-humanised world, that is so beloved of certain globalists. It seems likely to me though, that most of us are not meant to survive this bumpy ride to the Klaus Schwab Wunderland and a such the vaccines have a very important and continuing role to play.
Yes, the two aspects are tied in with each other.
But which one’s the
and which one’s the 
?
why are all the crap ideas in this world from Germans?
Marx, Hitler, Schwab, etc.

The way to smash the emerging superstate is to smash the state.
So glad I have learned my youthful anarchism was right all along.
It needs chemo, it’s gone metastatic.
Before we can “drain the swamp” we are going to have to purge the newsrooms. As long as the “gatekeepers of the news” are running interference to protect all the faux narratives, the prospects of any real truths emerging (and changing these bogus narratives) … is probably nil.
Journalism has transformed. Citizen journalists and experts in areas talking directly to people, not filtered through journos, are the new direction. The newsroom is over. And frankly, it deserved to be over a very long time ago.
From article: “Workplaces that don’t comply with the rules also face being fined.”
This is the MO around the world – compel businesses to enforce the government’s mandates.
They also did this with mask mandates.
Fascism (now rebranded as stakeholder capitalism when it’s distinctly not capitalist) is the fusion of the state (the stakeholder pretending to be society) and business… The real aim is to stealthily increase costs and shift these artificial costs into rent-seeking establishment “profits”.
To prosper in business today, corporations have to “play ball” with government. Those that do are rewarded; those that don’t risk going out of business. Of course the big corporations don’t mind at all if their smaller would-be competitors disappear.
This is also why lobbying became the most important department of corporations.
I still think it’s interesting to look at the stock price of Twitter when it was actually a forum for free speech and then, later, once it decided to join the club.
You can also look at the journalists and editors who “play ball” and prosper … and those who don’t. There are no (mainstream) journalists who go against the club.
“it’s distinctly not capitalist“
Oh – but it is. Capitalism, if not bounded, automatically tends to monopoly control – aka totalitarianism.
You’ver got it wrong government automatically seeks monopoly, monopoly AKA title is there main real product (which is subsidised and untaxed to feed the establishment).
I am from the opposite end of the political spectrum to RickH but I have to agree with what he says above. There a lots of cases where this has happened, and most/all of the time they’ve led to trouble. Markets don’t always work. The US, often looked at as an arch-capitalist country, broke up lots of monopolies.
Yes, and I think all this is showing us how “isms” themselves are part of the problem. This site is a fantastic demonstration of how when the shit really hits the fan we see that there are values more important than all our isms and I think we are also waking up to the fact that it suits those controling the agenda to keep us in our different ism camps.
Yes, the basic problem is “monopoly”. It does not matter where the monopolist’s power comes from – whether it is the guns of a communist despot or the money of a capitalist corporation. The problem is there is no effective counterweight to one party’s power, which makes it possible for the party to exploit and subjugate everyone else. The problem is “authoritarian versus liberal” (in the original sense of the word “liberal”, which of course has been recently perverted to mean the opposite), not “left versus right”.
We’ve never really had real capitalism imo. What we definitely have now is “crony capitalism.” Ron Paul makes this point all the time.
Speaks to the shaky legal ground it’s all on though doesn’t it…
If “Casablanca” was remade today, the central plot device wouldn’t be “letters of transit;” it would be vaccine passports.
…. I actually read somewhere that there was no such thing as “letters of transit” in Casablanca. It was simply a plot device. But it’s dang sure real today.
Good analogy and also one of my favourite films.
Who do you fancy more, Ingrid Bergman or Greta Thunberg?
Those swedes certainly explore the boundaries of attractiveness don’t they?
That’s also my favorite film. I just didn’t know the themes and plot devices would end up being so prescient.
The difference is in Casablanca there were a few countries people seeking freedom – or running from oppression – could still flee. Most wanted to go to America. America is no better than any other place today.
Still, we could use a few more Victor Lazlo’s. Even Rick and Louie eventually joined the fight.
“This time I know our side will win” – Victor told Rick.
I don’t know if that’s the case today.
There are parts of the USA still looking promising…
And large numbers of people are “voting with their feet” to move to these states, a trend that will no doubt accelerate. Still, the federal government holds all the trump cards and increasingly doesn’t mind imposing its will.
At some point, the S word is going to become commonplace.
Isn’t that what the civil war was about? I understand individual states still have more rights to do their own thing than in many countries. Do they have enough for the likes of Texas to hold out against vaxports etc.?
But the airports are Federal
Welcome back, Mussolini!
“It is time to stop the economy, which is perhaps the only way we can show this Government that many people are struggling,”
Unfortunately, slowing/stopping the economy is all part of the Reset agenda, so Rome will watch on as the citizens do their bidding.
Target those responsible, not ordinary people.
Disagree. Stopping society is the only weapon we possess.
Peaceful disobedience will stop the agenda without threatening wages and livelihoods. Then those responsible can be held to account from a position of strength.
Viviane Fisher from Corona Ausschuss taking part in todays’ session from Genoa, Italy, to make connections with Italian resistance. She said it was a ship building company’s workers action which are resisting the vaccinations and green pass, and vaccinated workers are in solidarity, who are a leading force in this.
Echoes of Poland’s Solidarnośc – go shipbuilders!
I wonder if the fascists doing this in Italy will end up like the last one and his wife. Keep pushing and they’ll find out, I guess.
One can but hope.
“Sky News has the story”
News of protests making the MSM? Times they are a’ changin.
But I expect the protesters will be described as essentially domestic terrorists.
Even the Guardian, which in normal times would love a good General Strike, is on the side of the Establishment against the workers.
The Guardian is now an essential part of the Establishment.
In December 2019 the WHO had a vaccine summit where they were filmed openly admitting that the most basic vaccine safety studies have not been carried out. They also discussed that the number of people rejecting vaccines as being safe and effective was rapidly growing and that this was a problem because so many people were now reliant on artificial vaccine immunity rather than natural immunity.
If people were rejecting their booster shots that would mean the artificial and inferior immunity would fail (not to mention a loss of profits for pharma)
Then as if by magic all their problems vanished with the introduction of the vaccine passports that force people to be jabbed with whatever they say.
SHOCKING VACCINE ADMISSIONS FROM INSIDE THE WHO
https://www.bitchute.com/video/wOXtTS4djENX/
Burn the whole fucking place down, someone has to go first.
Yep, grind the whole fecking country to a halt and create havoc! It’s beyond marching with placards now. People need to up their game and channel that anger wisely.
It’s very hard for some people to grasp the extreme nature of what is happening in front of their own eyes.
The Covid pandemic, with its glut of senseless restrictions and the coming health passports, is a total scam designed to push people into baring their arms for are almost certainly lethal injections masquerading as vaccines.
A program of mass genocide by “vaccine” is already underway across most of the world and our only hope now lies with sustained and very determined resistance.
As a vaccinated person I fully support these strikes. I don’t care if they have any negative consequences on me. As far as I’m concerned, you can turn off the heating, electricity and basically stop everything from working until those corrupt/idiot individuals who enforce this new discrimination are finally expunged from office.
Yet more effective would be to deny service at all levels to the decision makers specifically, but it is unfortunately difficult to arrange. However, because a check of vaccination status also includes an identity check (that’s what the whole surveillance state is so hot after), it certainly not impossible to simply discriminate against politicians. All that is required is “goodwill” from those who are asked to enforce the rules. Let the legislative fuckers have a taste of their own medicine.
Meanwhile, in Hessen, Germany supermarkets are now allowed to check vaccination status (though none are using this option yet).
Grateful for your stance here. I know you get a lot of flack on this site!
What is Hessen trying to achieve by allowing supermarkets to check vax status? Allow them to ban shoppers? They are not allowed to do that. Have a separate time slot for unvaxxed shoppers?
So, I just looked this up on German sources.
A lot of local authorities have introduced a rule that businesses can choose to operate under 2G rules (2G = injected/recovered). These rules allow the business to eg allow more “freedoms” more customers at once, no masks.
Shops of all kinds were exempt from this rule, mask wearing is still compulsory, restrictions on numbers apply.
A small business owner went to court and wanted equality with other businesses serving the public. The court rules that shops can apply 2G.
Supermarkets do fall into this category, but they are legally required to allow access to all people. Even the mask mandate does not apply, but one needs to be very certain to be able to argue your case.
Sadly you are wrong that “supermarkets are legally required to allow access to all people”. This was the rule during the normal normality, but not in the new normality.
There have already been cases of supermarkets banning all kids (!) during this pandemic in 2020 on the grounds of kids being “infection spreaders” and posing an “increased danger” to staff and thus to the operations of the supermarket. Apparently this law can be used to ban kids like it could be used before to ban drunks. No legal action was taken against those supermarkets. Newspapers recommended customers to “just go shopping elsewhere”.
https://www.chip.de/news/In-Zeiten-von-Corona-Duerfen-Supermaerkte-Kindern-den-Zutritt-verweigern_182594500.html
On Cyprus, which is also in EU, supermarkets have been successfully banning unvaccinated and untested people for a good while now. So the only difference with 2G in Germany ist that they could now ban the unvaccinated altogether (none of the supermarkets will do it because they are not crazy, as it seems; but legally there is nothing to stop them).
Probably to humiliate them and to make them feel marginalised and excluded – it’s been a standard tactic of Covidiansim, and remains a favourite with governments.
Unvaxxed happy hour could work. Presumably we wouldn’t need to wear masks as we’re all going to die of selfishness soon anyway.
“As a vaccinated person I fully support these strikes.” Good to know. If they vaxxed don’t support the sceptic cause, we are lost.
What “we the people” should start doing now is collect all the vaccination QR codes of politicians etc. and post them publicly on the Internet. By gathering these QR codes a decentralized database can then be built, and also an app which allows us to specifically exclude these QR codes, and by saying QR codes I mean “persons”, from public life.
Either, if the employer cooperates, using very official house rules (“we don’t serve this customer”), or, as is more likely, if the employer is reluctant and house rules cannot be altered, by simply relying on initiative of individual checkers. For example, when covertly checking for the persona-non-grata status, a “technical problem” could be claimed with their vaxxpassport – and they still could be turned away on that grounds. If they wish to complain to management, they can, but if they have to do it every time they set foot in various public places, then maybe it will also have an educational effect.
BTW, if you think collecting other people’s vaccination QR codes would be against the law – not a problem. Rather than storing the QR code, you can store a one-way hash of the QR code, yielding no personally identifiable data in the final database. But you can still compute the same one-way hash whenever you need to check whether a given QR-code is in the database. So you can discriminate as much as you want without storing or checking identity, just based on the damn QR code alone.
What would be even better would be to set up a bounty system for excluding the particularly troublesome and vile indviduals. For example, if as a restaurant bouncer you manage to provably identify exclude Mario Draghi or Fauci from entering your fine establishment, you should be able to obtain a big cryptocurrency reward from supporters. I’m sure enough people would be willing to sponsor this sort of witch hunt to make it worthwhile for the bouncers and a nightmare for the witches.
The main point is that QR code/identity checking makes this all technically possible.
Viva Italia!
Corona Ausschuss had an interview with the suspended deputy commander of the Rome Police Force today. 3 weeks ago she held a speech at a rally as a private person opposing the Green Pass (she is a lawyer).
I haven’t seen the English version, she spoke Italian and was translated to German. English version on Odysee which seems to have technical problems today.
The most important from that interview was that the Green Pass is unconstitutional, which was written after 1945 and in a way to prevent fascism.
There is a general strike today in Italy. which of course gets ignored by the MSM. A lot of vaccinated people are against a Green Pass system, too, and there is a lot of opposition.
….
I’m Jewish and in no way do I find this sign inappropriate or disrespectful.
What if you’re in Italy and you refuse a “vaccine” or a test? Take up robbing?
The Italians are familiar with Fascism. This time we won’t be coming …. they’ll have to save themselves.
Draghi deserves the same fate as Mussolini.
“The Covid vaccine 19 it will not be mandatory in France. The Senate rejected yesterday 13 October the bill presented at the end of August by the socialists with 262 votes against, 64 in favor (the entire socialist group and three senators from the center and right) and 14 abstentions. The government also expressed its opposition: “We prefer to convince than to force”, said Adrien Taquet, Secretary of State for Children and the Family.” from Italy News.
