โThis vaccine will not be used for children. This is an adult vaccine to be used on the adult population.โ

1/ The governmentโs appalling handling of Covid...
The government has stuffed up their response to the Coronavirus pandemic with a set of coercive policies that were either badly managed or dreadfully communicated. This has led to total confusion and fear.
2/ They willfully attempted to ramp up fear levels by using doomsday scenario SAGE projections that never came to fruition and applied flawed methodology to create a fanciful worst case scenario that was presented as a real possibility - which was then parroted by the media.

Fascism arrives when society is asleep at the wheel. It tricks people into giving them the illusion of security. It identifies enemies. It appeals to the in-group (usually the majority). It smashes freedom and replaces it with control. We fall asleep at the wheel at our peril.
โIf you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.โ
