Vaccines

A vaccine is not medicine, it’s a preventive treatment. You can never know if it works, because you will never know what would have happened if you didn’t take it.
In other words, you don’t know if it was worth the risk - all preventive drugs have risks, without any exception.

(There are exceptions when an injection can immediately save you life, eg: adrenalin in case of severe allergic reactions;
but when you take a shot agains a flu, you’re just hoping you don’t suffer from the flu, it’s just like an insurance policy)

Why is this distinction between medicine and preventive treatment important? From legal perspective, it’s much harder to prove that the prevention works, and in practice, the companies selling their treatment cannot actually prove it.

The Vaccines never solved any health issues and never will. They were always a matter of trust and belief. People agree to trust the experts, at their own peril.

Quotes

Regardless of whether you call them medicines or vaccines, they are poisons and you can’t poison the body and expect to produce health.

Once upon a time I, too, didn’t question vaccines…

Once upon a time I, too, didn’t question vaccines. I assumed the vaccine schedule was the result of decades upon decades of research and scientific evidence. I believed doctors were trained, knowledgeable & well educated on 💉. I thought they understood adverse reactions.
I believed 🥼would guide me & the CDC & FDA would only recommend thoroughly tested💉 that were necessary for the health of our children. However, when my very healthy daughter was injured by Gardasil, that was the beginning of the shattering of these beliefs & assumptions.
As I read the clinical trials, I learned that saline was not the placebo but instead it was aluminum. I learned that girls were being killed & seriously 🤕 in the trials. I learned that fast tracking an unnecessary, untested 💉 was the result of deep & widespread corruption.
If this was the case for Gardasil, what did it mean for all the other vaccines? I knew I had to research further. It was a long, deeply disturbing & painful journey. Prior to this, I would have never imagined this was even possible in the United States of America.
Knowing what I now know, it’s shocking to think I once was so trusting. I did not realize that doctors knew so little about 💉. I did not realize that 🥼 knew even less about adverse reactions. I did not realize that 🥼 received barely any 💉 education in medical school.
I did not realize my child could be killed or injured & the manufacturer would not be liable. I did not realize my child could be killed or injured & the doctor would not be liable. Had I known, I would have asked countless questions I did not know to ask.
While as much as I wish we could go back in time, we can’t. We can’t undo the damage this truly evil industry inflicted upon my daughter. However, this knowledge could save others as the majority don’t know the truth. If they did, the 💉 industry would come crumbling down.

Ethics of vaccine refusal

By Michael Kowalik, Independent Researcher, Melbourne
https://dx.doi.org/10.1136/medethics-2020-107026
https://jme.bmj.com/content/48/4/240

Proponents of vaccine mandates typically claim that everyone who can be vaccinated has a moral or ethical obligation to do so for the sake of those who cannot be vaccinated, or in the interest of public health. I evaluate several previously undertheorised premises implicit to the ‘obligation to vaccinate’ type of arguments and show that the general conclusion is false: there is neither a moral obligation to vaccinate nor a sound ethical basis to mandate vaccination under any circumstances, even for hypothetical vaccines that are medically risk-free. Agent autonomy with respect to self-constitution has absolute normative priority over reduction or elimination of the associated risks to life. In practical terms, mandatory vaccination amounts to discrimination against healthy, innate biological characteristics, which goes against the established ethical norms and is also defeasible a priori.

The 3 strongest arguments why vaccine mandates are unethical

Michael Kowalik, Melbourne-based philosopher and ethicist, is a leading voice in the academic debate about the ethical permissibility of vaccine mandates.
Below is a summary of what he believes (https://t.me/NormalParty/1064) are “the three strongest arguments against the ethical permissibility of vaccine mandates and why any medical procedure imposed by coercion must be refused.”

Professor Hannah Fry is producing a BBC documentary titled “Unvaccinated”, in which she “seeks to understand why a portion of the population remain unvaccinated against Covid-19.” I thought this is a great opportunity for me to reach out to professor Fry. The letter to her (July 11):

The following ethical reasons may explain why some people refused Covid-19 vaccination despite the severe social and economic consequences of remaining unvaccinated.

1: Vaccine mandates imply that all humans are born in a defective, inherently harmful state that must be biotechnologically augmented to allow their unrestricted participation in society, and this constitutes discrimination on the basis of healthy, innate characteristics of the human race. By refusing to acquiesce to vaccine mandates we take an ethical stance against discrimination on the basis of innate characteristics of the human race. (This point derives from my paper published here: https://jme.bmj.com/content/48/4/240).

2: Medical consent must be free - not coerced - in order to be valid. Any discrimination against the unvaccinated is economic or social opportunity coercion, precluding the possibility of valid medical consent. The right to free, uncoerced medical consent is not negotiable, under any circumstances, because without it we have no rights at all; every other right can be subverted by medical coercion. Crucially, by accepting any mandated medical treatment we would be acquiescing to the taking away of the right to free medical consent not just from ourselves but from our children and from future generations, and we do not have the right to do this. Acquiescence to medical coercion is always unethical, even if the mandated intervention were a placebo.

3: Vaccines are known to occasionally cause deaths of healthy people. When an employee is required to receive vaccination as a condition of employment, that employee is economically coerced to participate in an activity where some percentage of employees are expected to die ‘in the course of employment’ as a direct result of the mandated activity. This goes against the fundamental principles of medical ethics and workplace safety. It may be objected that infectious pathogens also kill people, but these two categories of deaths are not ethically equivalent. Infection with a pathogen for which there exists a vaccine is not mandated, whereas deaths resulting from mandatory vaccination are mandated deaths, a legalised killing of some people for the prospective benefit of the majority. Critically, any discrimination against the unvaccinated (or a privileged treatment of the vaccinated) amounts to a violation of the right to life, because a small percentage of the targeted population are expected to die as a result of this coercive treatment. By refusing to accept mandated vaccines we take an ethical stance in defence of the right to life.

Kowalik also objects to the commonly made assertion that people who do not comply are ‘unvaccinated by choice,’ stating:

Apart from the fact that social and economic opportunity coercion removes our free choice in this matter, being unvaccinated is fundamentally not a choice; we were born this way.
The premise of being “unvaccinated by choice” is as absurd as “having two hands by choice”. The right to preserve our innate characteristics without being discriminated against is paramount.

Caricature of Edward Jenner inoculating patients in the Smallpox and Inoculation Hospital at St. Pancras. The patients are shown growing cow heads from parts of their anatomy following the vaccination. There is a print of the golden calf on the wall behind them. Patients are spoon-fed “opening mixture” as they come through the door. A boy standing next to Jenner is holding his pot labelled “vaccine pock hot from ye cow”, on his jacket is a badge saying “Pancras” and in his pocket a paper entitled “Benefits of the vaccine process”.

A satirical view of a vaccine institution. Patients are shown either in the process of receiving the vaccine or immediately after being vaccinated. In the center of the print a woman is shown sitting while a doctor gashes her arm with a knife. The patients who have already been administered the vaccine have cow parts or horns issuing from various parts of their bodies. On the back wall hangs a painting of a cow on a pedestal to which a group of kneeling people pay hommage.

A print published as propaganda against the introduction of vaccination as a preventitive measure against smallpox. Smallpox was once a common epidemic disease that killed, blinded or disfigured its victims. In the 18th century its impact was reduced in Europe by a Chinese practice called variolation, the injection of smallpox fluid from an infected human being into a healthy human. Variolation became a popular practice in Great Britain.
In 1798 Edward Jenner (1749-1823) proposed a modification of variolation called vaccination, which involved the injection of fluid from an infected cow into human beings. The introduction of the cow into human medicine seemed irrational and surprising, and was one of the points made against vaccination by its opponents. Some of the opponents of vaccination are named on the obelisk shown on the right of the print: the topmost name is that of Dr Benjamin Moseley, physician to the Royal Hospital at Chelsea.
On the left the vaccinators, sporting bull’s horns, feed babies to the Vaccination monster, which has the forefeet of a lion and the hindfeet of a cow.

The scene represents the discovery of vaccination through the details known in France at the time (ca. 1800). The physician in the blue coat and the dandy on the left, both representing English fashions, are recurrent motifs in Depeuille’s vaccination prints. The physician may be intended to represent Edward Jenner, who perhaps had not been accurately painted for reference at this point; Sarah Nelmes is known to be the milkmaid who provided the original cowpox.

Luigi Marchelli published ‘Memoria sull’inoculazione della vaccina’ in Genoa in 1801 and ‘Istruzione per ben conoscere il cowpox o vajuolo vaccinico e per eseguirne l’innesto con felice successo’ in Genoa in 1808. According to Luigi Sacco (cited by Bercé, loc. cit.) three therapeutic measures emerged from his observations: sheep could be protected from sheep-pox by being inoculated with vaccine; humans could be protected from smallpox by being inoculated with sheep-pox; and sheep could be protected from sheep-pox by being inoculated with sheep-pox (i.e. variolated); Le nec plus ultra …

The doctors are dandies in the English style, as vaccination was sometimes seen in France at this time (early 19th century) as a fashionable English invention.

The exploitative doctor may be a variolator who has been profiting through the use of this soon to be outmoded technique on unfortunate individuals; perhaps they are defecting to a vaccinator. However, ‘inoculation’ was also used to refer to vaccination in the early days of its use in France, hence this could be another simple anti-vaccination message from the Depeuille printing house; Les bienfaits de la petite vérole.

Manipulation tactics

Advanced manipulation tactics: how to convince parents to 💉 their kids

UN digital library: practioner’s guide to the principles of COVID-19 vaccine communications
https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3894424?ln=en

Our research began with an informationgathering scan of peer-reviewed research from the US and the UK in vaccine hesitancy, through which we identified a group of scholars with expertise in identity, trust, science communication, etc. Over a period of five days from August 21-25, 2020, we held a series of conversations with these scholars around specific topics related to vaccine hesitancy. These included: What makes people resilient against misinformation? What drives vaccine hesitancy? Which frames will be most effective? What kinds of message strategies have been effective with specific communities? And finally, what are some of the best ways to make taking the vaccine a norm within particular communities?

Manipulation & compelling tactics: worldviews, timing, messengers, narratives, relationships, social norms, emotions and motivations:

• It all starts with trust

• Work within worldviews, identity and moral values; Understanding what others see as right and wrong can help us to connect with what’s most important to them and find the common ground between what we hope to achieve and what matters to them

• Use timing to your advantage; It’s far easier to build trust when you’re the first to articulate a message. People are most likely to trust—and stick to—the version of information they hear first. It’s also critical to know what else is happening as important news breaks

• Use the right messengers; People act when they trust the messenger, the message and their motivations

• Make your content concrete, supply a narrative and provide value; If messages aren’t concrete and don’t include stories, our powerful sense-making brains will fill the abstraction with stories and ideas that make sense to us

• Recognize that communities have different relationships with vaccination; In some societies, people may be fearful of vaccines, but have a strong trust in authority. In others, mandatory vaccinations have created distrust of government authorities. In others, decades of mistreatment and exploitation have resulted in a profound lack of trust in new medical treatments.

• Change social norms to help gain acceptance; As humans—particularly those who live within collectivist societies—we are strongly influenced by our perceptions of what others will do, the informal and formal norms

• Evoke the right emotions; It’s tempting to activate emotions like fear or shame to get people to take a vaccine. But fear immobilizes us, and shame is likely to achieve the opposite reaction we’re hoping for. Look to more constructive emotions like pride, hope and parental love to get people to act.

• Our perceptions of the motivations of the messenger matter, as do our own motivations; Our perceptions of the motivations of the messenger matters. Our motivations in seeking information are equally important. We’re less likely to trust a vaccine if we question the motives of the people advocating for us to take it.

Anti-Vax Watch is an alliance of concerned individuals who are seeking to “educate” the American public about the dangers of the anti-vax industry.
Anti-Vax Watch believes that the American public are too dumb to form their own opinion, by listening to different experts with all sorts of opinions about the effects of the vaccine, so they think it’s their duty to smear anyone who dares to question the safety of vaccines.
