Why worry about civil liberties when there’s a mob to pacify?

SDA regular, William McNally, has written a comprehensive article entitled Vaccine Mandates: Civil Liberties Trampled by a Panicked Mob:

Like many other Ontario universities, my university is requiring all students, staff and faculty to take the Covid-19 vaccine. As I write this, faculty and staff in Ontario are losing their jobs and students are being kicked out of school because they refuse to take a drug. Full-time instructors like microbiologist and biochemist Michael Palmer at the University of Waterloo are being terminated, part-time instructors are having winter courses reassigned and students are suspending their studies in the winter semester.

[The] concern about the danger of the vaccines is justified, at the very least, by the fact that two vaccines have been proscribed in some jurisdictions because of adverse effects: AstraZeneca and Moderna. Concern is further justified by the facts that: 1) the long-run risk profiles of the vaccines are unknown; and 2) side-effect reporting has been incomplete. Public health messaging about vaccine risks has been less than forthcoming presumably because of the fear that the unvarnished truth would discourage vaccine use. But deceptive messaging also reduces vaccine acceptance over the longer term by eroding trust.

Many people support mandates because they believe they are entitled to be free of the risk of infection from the unvaccinated. That right doesn’t exist in the Charter – nor in the common law or in history.

      1. CBC of course never even mentions that he had the booster just a couple of weeks ago. Nothing to see there. Nope. Pure, 100% coincidence.

  1. “But deceptive messaging also reduces vaccine acceptance over the longer term by eroding trust.”

    These idiots never had my trust, so there is nothing to erode. The relationship is broken regardless.

    Secondly, instead of firing my nurse daughter, who now has natural immunity cause she didn’t take the jab and got Covid anyway; she should be highly sought after as she can’t give “breakthrough infections” to her patients.

    But then common sense, isn’t as common as we initially thought.

    1. Common sense, logic, rational thought, and real science has not been around for a few decades now. It is why we find ourselves living in moron hell surrounded by fools that think killing us is good idea.

      1. “surrounded by fools that think killing us is a good idea”- That would be Bill Gates; he and his fellow cohorts expect to make a bundle from the vaccines AND also design and sell contact tracing programs.

        My husband and I are not particularly social, so we don’t mind sticking to ourselves, although we’ve developed friendships with others of our ilk. When our son comes home, we have a hoot. He’s laid back, interested in just about everything, and he’s funny.
        One of the worst things about the last two years has been the disillusionment in Canada. We have lost our freedoms. Trudeau cares only about Quebec and his own political stature, such as it is.

    2. I think the reverse of Hanlon’s razor is in play. Never excuse evil on the grounds of incompetence when there is a malevolent explanation. The globalists are clearly operating with malevolent intent, Justin Trudeau is too stupid to operate in a free society, but that malignant P.O.S. is smart enough to be evil.

    3. Hans … I no longer call it a vaccine mandate. It’s a vaccine vendetta. The government HATES the naturally immune and the vaccine freedom fighters … and is out to “get them” … to punish them. To destroy them. Mandate my ass … it’s a vendetta.

      Gotta eliminate the free thinkers. Right?

      And I thank your daughter for her service

    4. Hans..

      “..These idiots never had my trust, so there is nothing to erode…”

      They have never had mine either…especially watching the Communist Chinese TV “Theatre of the Absurd”. (folks dropping dead in front of camera’s – fogging a city of 11m …SERIOUSLY.??)

      My antenna were up and receiving…big time.
      The 2 Quarantined ships and their end results (9885 personnel – 15 died), were all I needed to make a determination this was a complete NOTHING BURGER….& that the Politicians with help from their publicly paid Medical aparatchiks would turn it into a rerun of 1936 Germany ..I stand firm to this day.

  2. The Wuhan virus has demonstrated two fundamental evils of modern Canada. One is the confirmation of the lack of protection and actual conception of individual rights in Trudeau’s Constitution. The other is the totalitarian nature of socialized and monopolized health care. No freedom of medical practice exists between doctors and patients. The third party (in Canada, the state) calls the shots, tells the doctors, in this case, that they are not allowed to prescribe safe pharmaceuticals, preventatively or in out-patient early treatment. That same third party is deceitful, manipulative, poll driven, and has a corrupted partisan media acting as its propaganda arm. Is it any wonder that their leaky vaccines are not universally accepted?

  3. Once you understand that most people don’t want to be free you’ll get it. It was a nice experiment but it’s over. The boomers got their wish.

      1. In the context of modern Canada, he’s not wrong. I think we’ve seen beyond all doubt that most Canadians want to FEEL SAFE, not BE FREE, and will happily turn over what they believe to be unneeded intangible freedoms / rights to the state for a shot of that warm fuzzy “someone else takes care of me” feeling.

        And those same Canadians are utterly unable to comprehend the warning about trading liberty for security.

    1. james, it really REALLY is true. Most people don’t want to be free.
      True freedom is hard work …. scary.
      As I wrote in a song a while ago, Safety is Slavery.

      Canadians, beginning with single payor government monopoly “health care” chose safety/slavery over freedom.

      Just say the word “freedom” to most people and observe the bewilderment. They think you’re a crackpot.

    2. Boomers…?? WTF has age got anything to do with anything??

      Seems to me its near 100% of the IDIOTS Under 65 that are unthinking drones devoid of Historical context, Face Diapered Morons…

  4. “…free of the rick of infection from the unvaccinated…” does not exist on this planet. The Karen-like anti-scientific outrage of the self-righteously vaccinated is wholly imaginary.

  5. Crushing individual liberty and privacy for mob safety is pretty Canadian and totally progressive.
    The fact that the SARS2 shots haven’t even provided a false sense of security still hasn’t enlightened the bastards.
    You can’t fix Stupid but you sure as shit can use Stupid.
    The fuckers probably love the Chinadian Tire ads with people wearing masks.
    Its so safe!

    Just 80 more weeks to flatten the curve.

  6. “Many people support mandates because they believe they are entitled to be free of the risk of infection from the unvaccinated.” That is the big lie. The “vaccinated” are the super spreaders.

    1. Yes. I found the wording slightly ambiguous. I can see peopke wanting to avoid infection, but there is no evidence that the unvaxed are any more of a danger than the vaxed. This is simply a mistaken assumption — put out there by dear leader, and reinforced by vax mandates. It’s hard for people to see clearly with this information fog. I have not seen any public health people explicitly make the claim that unvaxed are a bigger danger. Mostly they talk about taxing the system with the assumption that vaxes reduce severity.

  7. Yep. Both my sons were forced to quit Sask polytech because the school is kicking out all unvaccinated students in January. The administration at polytech completely reversed their promise to parents and students.

    1)This is what they promised us in an email exchange with me on September 20, 2021:

    (Name of administrator redacted)
    Registered Psychologist
    Manager, Accessibility Services
    Saskatchewan Polytechnic | Saskatoon Campus

    “Unvaccinated students are not being denied access to campus or their classes. Therefore, there is no need to defer tuition payment. All unvaccinated students, whether by choice, religious, or medical grounds are treated the same. First, like all students, they must wear a mask. Second, they will need to take two rapid tests per week, (once rapid testing available). Rapid testing will be at no cost to the student.”

    2) Then on October 28, after tuition was paid, this was the Polytech policy:

    Regardless of the reason you do not want to be vaccinated, effective January 3, 2022, if you are taking a Sask Polytech program or course, you are required to be vaccinated unless you have an approved accommodation as per The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code. Any student who is not complying with the requirements will be directed to leave the premises immediately and will not be allowed to return until compliance is confirmed by the Student Relations Office.
    https://saskpolytech.ca/coronavirus/FAQs.aspx#Vaccinations

    Look at what was promised to parents and students like us in the first email (before tuition paid) and what they’re doing now (after tuition is paid). A complete bait and switch, imo.

    1. Neat contradiction in the logic – “per the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code”. What good is a code if it does not protect the rights of humans? You have a right to be vexed with the Polytech program. And changing a relational contract in the middle of its execution is illegal. It happens a lot, but class action lawsuits are made of circumstances like the ones described above.

      1. It’s unethical and shows a complete lack of honesty and integrity in the sask polytech organization. I did consider it a firm contract based on the September 20th exchange. Now the kids have lost a portion of their tuition plus are locked into 1 year leases and other living expenses. “Vexxed” would be putting it politely.

        1. On the plus side, one of the boys had been unconvinced about the plan to leave Saskatchewan and Canada. He is now convinced that there is no future, no freedom in this province or this country. He is on board with the rest of the family to move.

          1. That is good news. Many people are becoming disillusioned with Canada and choosing to leave. Used to be such a great place. Now tyranny seems to be running rampant.

          2. My one son, a graduate Engineer in training, is having similar thoughts. Common sense is not common – you have taught your sons to deal with reality and that is more important than just about anything else. Lots of people love fantasy, but it is reality that bites.

          3. Linda and Codex.

            My brother is a mechanical engineer and his company relocated him and his family to the US about 20 years ago. They not only liked the move, they became US citizens a few years back. My husband/children’s father isn’t a Canadian citizen so it looks like he can sponsor us.

            It’s government bureaucracy that will take time but my single goal is to get my kids into a country/state with more freedom and respect for individual rights. What covid has revealed is that the Canadian Constitution and The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are absolutely worthless documents.

          4. The big issue right now is that the unvaxxed cannot leave Canada. You cannot board a plane without the vaxport, you cannot enter the USA without the vaxport.

            The only way anyone could get away is if they have access to an ocean-going boat. I did consider flying my plane to St. Pierre Miquelon, which is part of France, but I suspect they have similar entry requirements.

          5. No one respects borders or immigration rules and procedures anymore – people or governments. Roxham Road in Canada, US/Mexican border, the English Channel, every European country’s borders…
            /sarc

            I’ve lived in three communities right along the US-Canada border. There is no enforcement. I inadvertently crossed the border several times collecting environmental samples because I’m not great at reading RM maps.

            PS. The US border guards were always friendlier and helpful, in my experience.

    2. L C

      Get a group of concerned parents together, and hire a GOOD lawyer, yous have an excellent case with that change in policy “after tuition’s were paid.

      1. This is something we have considered.

        In the meantime, I’ll get a job to help the boys pay their expenses since none of this was their fault. If anyone’s looking for an industrial chemical lab tech who has been parenting for the last 15 years…let me know. 🙂

  8. Those who want me to be !vaxxed so they can feel safe need to live in abject terror for the rest of their miserable, useless lives.

  9. One aspect that the article did not cover or discuss is the simple point that all scientific discoveries started with anecdotal data, recognition of a repeating fundamental pattern, and the question “Why does x happen?”. I understand that humans have been sold on the gold standard of a double blind research experiment BUT that is not how it started. Remember that the smallpox vaccine came about because someone asked why milk maids didn’t get as bad a case of the pox with less scarring than everyone else. That was an anecdotal recognition of a visible pattern.

    The problem we have is that people are hearing about, reading about, and experiencing bad reactions to the vaccines and their experiential data is being ignored, dismissed, or ridiculed by the scientists who have a financial interest at some level in the total inoculation of the population at large. And no one with that financial connection wants to take the time to research these observations because it might cost them. They also accepted a series of tests that violated their own standards of data gathering for the stated goal of saving humanity with dire consequences for some people. It took only 10 deaths out of 200,000 children inoculated with the polio vaccine in the Cutter incident to stop further inoculations of the general public. At last report, (and my data may be old), there are 14,000 deaths in the VAERS database alone, and even more in the MediCare/MedicAid databases that may (and I use that term deliberately) be attributed to the COVID vaccines. And yet, the institutional powers keep saying rare and mild, safe and effective when anecdotally it is not.

    It is this fundamental lack of scientific inquiry which vaccine hesitant find so jarring. Science is supposed to be open and available and it has become institutionalized, reluctant, petulant and secretive, kind of like a used car salesman. My apologies for the length of this post.

    1. I worry that too many people are not aware of the negative effects of the vaccines. The press is not doing a good job reporting on these. If they even ran a piece on all the athletes dying, that would be a heads up. People should also be paying attention to sudden deaths and illness in their cohort. This could signal damage to the immune system,

      1. Exactly right. The vast majority of people frankly have no idea that there are negative effects, and certainly no idea of the severity of those effects. Our own public health chief said the adverse rate was 7 per 100,000 doses. No context given. I strongly suspect that most AEs simply aren’t reported in Canada at all unless it happens in the first few hours post injection. After that, it becomes coincidence. Nothing to see there. Move along.

        Even those who are aware of the myocarditis issues refuse to accept the seriousness of it. “It’s easily treated.” “It’s less severe than if Covid did it to you.” “It’s rarer than Covid.” Etc. Pure religious belief. You can’t deprogram that.

    2. coder

      A friend of mine used to run a health clinic, and I know for fact that many doctors are nothing but money whores, my X GP included.

    3. Codex, Don’t ever apologize for a post of such valuable and interesting information. Thanks, I also appreciate the time it took to type the post as well.

  10. Then you have the yapper on CHQR in the morning that is positively smitten by the various “experts” on any subject. The guy insists they are right and every other actual expert is wrong.
    One gets the impression that if the propagandists in the media cartel went sideways of the propaganda, they would not last another minute. They would probably be taken off the air like right now.

    See what happened to Smith. One sane voice they shut up.

  11. Who can really say what the end game is for this bizarre socialist revolution under the cover of a pandemic in which almost nobody gets ill or has symptoms.

    I suspect the main game is to get the jab into every person including children, after which we will learn what the actual side effects might be, and it would not surprise me if this included mass sterilization perhaps on a time-delayed basis so people didn’t know about it until it was too late. Maybe it’s the boosters or the cumulative effect of vaccines and boosters.

    Those of us who are holding out need to stay firm in our resolve, but at the same time we face a growing danger both from hostile reactions (yesterday’s rather misguided protests at Remembrance Day ceremonies provides a perfect vehicle for the state-run media to whip up anger against all of us, 99.9% of whom had nothing to do with either those efforts or the hospital demonstrations). We can also be identified by the state as non-compliant and therefore possibly dangerous to their plans, whatever those turn out to be.

    I think some people know what is actually going on, but many are just being conditioned to go along and they actually think this is a rational response to a real emergency. It won’t be difficult to move this over into the domain of the equally fictitious climate emergency and start forcing people to comply with that agenda as it is developed behind the scenes, and not by elected representatives who are just there to rubber stamp elitist decisions, but essentially by the international globalist movement.

    You can see the logic of bringing this protest into a Remembrance Day setting because we are being herded around just about the same way that we would have been if Hitler had won World War II, or if communism had gained control of our country by military rather than political means.

    What the Canadian people did was monumentally stupid, they voluntarily gave up their freedom and signed on for an unknown future directed by communist-fascist blend 2.0, namely globalism. Yes we should be fighting this not going along with it. But the brainwashing started quite a while back and this is the natural result of it.

    The only hope would be that a core of resistance holds strong and that some of the sheeple discover for themselves what we already know, that these are massive lies and deceptions. If the resistance grows rather than fizzling out under economic and psychological pressure, then we have some chance of recovering our freedom. I read comments about moving to another place, but where exactly is any better than any other place when globalism basically reaches out to control all countries; the only nations to resist have their own flaws, such as Russia, you would just trade one set of lies for another set by moving there or anywhere else. We have to fight on our own ground.

  12. This is religion.
    Vaxxed or Unvaxxed?
    Follower of the True Religion or Heathen?
    The context and behaviour are identical.
    As the True Believers demand Proof of your “Good Faith” and seek to destroy all who profess “Bad faith”, we circle the bowl once again.
    It would not be unreasonable to demand “Documental proof of the racial purity” of any member of Branch Covidia.
    For they have set the stage.
    I did not attack these people seeking to force their OBEDIENCE.
    Nor did I claim that they could be stripped of all their rights and Freedoms because of my fear.
    Those lines have been crossed,let there be no confusion.
    War has been declared.
    On those of us who will not obey.

    Everything my father volunteered to fight against in 1939, we have imposed upon ourselves.

    We have created a massive State,that we cannot support or live with..
    It will fall.
    Because Government provides power to fools and bandits,who destroy all wealth creation and steal all incentive..
    Faster harder.
    These last two years have been a true revelation.
    Any Canadian who still believes,in “Good Government” or Government protected Rights and Freedoms,deserves everything coming.
    For I cannot cure stupid.
    Nor can I afford to tolerate stupid any longer.

    “Your Two Weeks are up”.

  13. When did Canadians really have freedom?

    That was all lost when Pierre Trudeau forced his Charter on all of us.

    This is all a natural progression to the endgame of such people and documents: domination.
