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."')

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...

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.'

'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...

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.

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.

Bodily Integrity and Informed Choice in Times of War and Terror

The Icelandic data is weighted to account for overall percentages of vaccinated / unvaccinated in population:

'The biggest news...is that double-vaccinated people are now 90% more likely to get infected than the unvaccinated. This suggests that the protection provided by two doses of vaccine is in fact less than none, it is the opposite.

I know you have. The point I'm making is that--whatever the intrinsic merits & demerits of these products--if we are at best in a similar place as b4 vaxx, it's largely owing to their having provided the scientistic illusion of forceful action, & thus cover for that dereliction.

Put otherwise--it can be plausibly argued that the way these ever more evidently flawed inoculants have been recklessly & counter-scientifically used has resulted in a weaker pandemic response than before them.

It has repeatedly shown a capability to rapidly mobilize 100,000-plus combat-ready forces in short order.

The Pharma disinformation playbook:

2) The “Blitz”: Harass scientists who speak out with results or views inconvenient for industry (attacks on FLCCC founders) 1/n

3) The “Diversion”: Manufacture uncertainty about science where little or none exists (Dr. Andrew Hill/captured high-impact journals)
4) The “Screen”: Buy credibility through alliances with academia or professional societies (i.e. high impact medical journal influences)
