Hardly the deep take on minority rights that one might have expected from Brad Fraser, no less.

1st: if 'rights' are your focus, then the appropriate 'out' group to be othering here is not anti-vaxx but anti-mandate.

1/n
2nd: the mainstreamed, relentless smearing of critics of Western neolib vaxx policies conflated under 'anti-vaxxer' renders invisible a range of positions from
on the Left:
@jeremycorbyn's
Paul Kingsnorth's
paulkingsnorth.substack.com/p/the-vaccine-…
Charles Eisenstein's
charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/mob-morality…
To vaccinologists, including those who have been jabbed, who've spent a lifetime researching & developing vaccines, now smeared as anti-vaxx:
@GVDBossche voiceforscienceandsolidarity.org/authors/geert-…
Dr. Robert Malone
rwmalonemd.com
& here in BC:
Dr. Steven Pelech
neurology.med.ubc.ca/faculty-listin…
To front-line doctors intensively engaged in developing COVID treatment protocols, including the most widely published in their fields:
@PierreKory
@P_McCulloughMD (cardiology)
Dr. Paul Marik @PaulMarik
To those who have braved social media shitstorms after reporting vaccine injuries. People such as:
Kyle Warner
Jimmy Dore
Eric Clapton
Florian Dagoury

(& were obviously not anti-vaxx before the injections),

Maybe reconsider?

Having spurned:

1. the Nuremberg Code: 'The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential'

2. the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNDR Article 7): 'bodily integrity central to both human rights and human dignity'

3.
🧵

3. the International Covenant on Civil & Political rights: 'no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.'

(whereas the UDHR Article 7 'is nonderogable, even "in time of public emergency which threatens the life of the nation."')
4. even for soldiers, at war:
'soldiers may relinquish their right to refuse medical treatment upon enlisting, they retain, as all humans do, their right to refuse to be subjects of human experiments--& so retain their right to refuse experimental or investigational drugs...'

Stumbling into Armageddon...
'As an old cold warrior as a member of the anti-Soviet Committee on the Present Danger and as a member of a secret presidential committee that helped Reagan end the Cold War'
paulcraigroberts.org/2022/01/18/can…
I can tell you that I am astonished that Washington has not heard what the Russians have, in all frankness, told them.

If the Committee on the President Danger had heard the Russians say this in the 1980s, we would have told President Reagan to acknowledge their concern...
' and reduce the tension.

Today the situation is so different that to an experienced cold warrior such as myself it is extremely scary.'

Ever see it argued that vaxx *weakened* our pandemic response?
'In the last 24 hours there were 55,232 new Covid cases in Australia.
By comparison, Australia had 10 (yes, ten) new daily cases a year ago in January 2021, just prior to the vaccine rollout.'
sovereignman.com/trends/austral…
'But now that 92.6% of eligible Australians have been vaccinated, the infection rate has increased more than 5,000x from a year ago.'
'In other words, these politicians think that Australian residents will only become vaccine hesitant if Djokovic is physically present in Australia, as if he’s going to sneeze and his ideas will spread like Omicron droplets.'

'Advocates of blanket COVID vaxx mandates have tried to conflate those insisting on individual risk assessment w/ the ideological anti-vaxxers. While there is some overlap between the two, many people who never thought twice about immunizing their children against measles, mumps'
'have balked at the thought of injecting their children w/ an experimental medical solution to a virus that poses a negligible threat to them.'

Absent significant co-morbidities (some still unknown), & recognizing that fatality is not the sole negative outcome, of C19 or vaxx...
'Never in American history have schoolchildren been required to receive vaccines that had not already undergone years—usually at least a decade—of safety trials. Nor have we required children to receive vaccines for diseases that primarily pose a risk to adults or the elderly.'

Gifted visual communicator, @tomaspueyo makes devastating use of this photo (caution: legit trigger warning). And tho scientists in the UK 'Nudge Unit' have recently expressed regrets wrt exploiting fear, surely many would have found such a photo tempting.

But the smallpox vaccine does actually set up an interesting counterpoint: far more frightening & horrifying disease (to most), with a vaccine agreed to have caused a level of vaccine injuries unacceptable by pre-2019 standards.
This is the context for a pub. in an American Bar Association special issue: Body Rights, Body Ethics soon after it became apparent that
US medical scientists & psychologists
were being enlisted in torture
in the Bush II regime's War on Terrorism:

Informed consent:
'A Canadian father who has not been vaccinated against Covid has temporarily lost the right to see his ...child.
A judge ruled his visits would not be in the child's "best interest"'
bbc.com/news/world-us-…
'The judgement is the first depriving a parent of access rights on immunisation grounds' though the child is double-vaccinated & though even if vaccinated the father could still contract & transmit the virus to his child.
ledevoir.com/societe/659685…
The father had declared his willingness to respect all other public-health requirements, including avoiding leaving his residence for all non-essential excursions. He did not provide reasons for his reservations regarding vaccines.
