- π₯ Nearly 90% of employees at a major NHS trust in the UK have rejected the flu vaccination, signaling a significant loss of trust.
- π‘ This trend suggests a broader disillusionment with public health messaging and pharmaceutical companies, stemming from experiences during the pandemic.
Questioning Vaccine Efficacy and Safety
- π Studies suggest the flu shot may have negative efficacy, with recipients being 27% more likely to contract the flu.
- β οΈ Concerns are raised about COVID-19 vaccines, with promises shifting from preventing infection to merely reducing symptoms, and a lack of apologies for overpromising.
- π Historical issues with pharmaceutical companies, like Purdue Pharma and the opioid crisis, are cited as precedents for distrust.
Coercion and Mandates
- π£οΈ Public health messaging during the pandemic is described as coercive, using shaming and fear tactics (e.g., "You're going to kill your grandmother").
- π« Tens of thousands of healthcare workers lost their jobs for refusing COVID-19 vaccines, despite some having natural immunity.
- βοΈ Pharmaceutical companies are legally protected from liability for vaccine injuries through government indemnification, with the public bearing the cost.
Financial Incentives and Control
- π° Doctors are financially incentivized to promote vaccines, with potential loss of income if recommendations are not followed, similar to the opioid crisis.
- π The proposed WHO treaty is viewed as a move towards centralizing control, granting international bodies authority over health crises and mandates.
- π Concerns exist about future control, where not taking mandated shots could lead to restrictions on travel or frozen bank accounts, linked to social credit scoring.
Crisis of Faith in Science
- β The phrase "trust the science" has become a marketing slogan rather than a reflection of genuine scientific inquiry, which should involve questioning and debate.
- ποΈ The shift from science to authoritarianism and the creation of a new orthodoxy are highlighted, where obedience is demanded over critical thinking.
- π The current situation is characterized as a crisis of meaning and faith, exacerbated by a loss of connection to a higher power and an overreliance on government and commercial interests.
