Vaccinated People Despise Those Who Refuse to Get the Jab – But the Opposite is Not True, Study Reveals

People who have had a Covid vaccine hold negative views about people who have not, but the reverse is not true, a major study has found. MailOnline has the story.

Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark questioned some 10,000 people from 21 countries to establish their opinion. 

Publishing their findings, the research discovered anti-vaccine people are viewed negatively. However, those who have refused the jab do not think less of those who sought protection. 

According to the Times, the researchers found that vaccinated people held “stereotypic inferences that unvaccinated individuals are untrustworthy and unintelligent, making the antipathy resemble prejudice towards other deviant groups”.

Participants of the survey were shown a fictional portrait of an individual, including their age, occupation personality and vaccine status. 

The researchers asked whether they would be happy if a close relative was going to marry an [unvaccinated person]. Among those who have had their jabs, there is a 13% drop in approval. 

The researchers said: “In the short run, prejudice towards the unvaccinated may complicate pandemic management. In the long run, it may mean that societies leave the pandemic more divided than they entered.”

Dellingpole made the point that it doesn’t seem to make much difference. Our vaccine rollout to me was just a prise in logistics, nothing else. We are still signed up to this Net 0 and have as someone mentioned in the Canadian Parliament ‘outside interference’ referring to WEF but there was a convenient technical issue with the micraphone.

It could be partly buyers remorse, but the simplest explanation is that people are just parroting what they’ve been fed for 12 months.

There has been a deliberate, well orchestrated, very well funded, intensive, global campaign for 12 months telling people that getting jabbed is a good thing, and resisting the jab is stupid and selfish.

And a study now shows that … people think getting jabbed is a good thing, and resisting the jab is stupid and selfish.

Most people don’t have the mental stamina to resist that sort of relentless assault.

Indeed. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that the term “safe and effective” is used over and over again in many different places – that has the nudge unit’s fingerprints all over it.

Likewise with the dubious claim that it prevents serious illness, after it became untenable to carry on insisting that it reduced transmission when it was clear to even the believers that it did no such thing.

I’ve never understood the gullibility, shortly before all this kicked off I was reading The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Captive Mind, The Gulag Archipelago among other works on a similar theme, never thinking I’d have to put up with totalitarian control myself, with a dose of medical tyranny on top.

My reading list too. Solzhenistsyn’s quote about acknowledging lies coming into the world but refusing to pass them on, is something I have reflected on throughout this. I would never have imagined what has transpired. But the most accurate take on what is happening now is, I think, Sheldon Wolin’s Inverted Totalitarianism – basically the dissolution of the state from within through the neutralisation of the political process. A corporate take over and the eradication of citizenship.

“Safe and effective” is a term they’ve been employing as a mantra, with regard to all vaccines, for years.

I live in a small village and it’s been very effective- plenty of watchers ready to pounce and report transgressors to the proper authorities. For the benefit of everyone, of course. Hikers and cyclists were told off routinely. I pointed out to someone that cyclists tend not to ride around throwing bags of Covid everywhere so I didn’t see the problem. ‘Oh, you’re one of those.’ was the response. They were all out clapping and banging pans, with a few marching up and down the street to see who was and was not doing their duty- and woe betide anyone who wasn’t. Sadly, these people were generally nowhere to be seen on VE Day 2020 or Remembrance Sunday. To say I am disgusted doesn’t come close.

But it wasn’t “freely decided” – and that’s what they can’t face.
I’m amazed by the vast numbers of people who can’t freely decide anything for themselves. They want others to decide for them. The sole decision they make is to pick the decision-maker. (It helps if they stand behind a podium, with a signer nearby to show that they’re inclusive and it’s really important that everyone understands them).
When the decision-makers turn out to be liars and fools, the non-decision-makers are faced with their failure to make even that decision wisely. Most would rather not look and think – which is what they failed to do in the first place.

I’ve been working on my version of The Great Australian Novel – no please, don’t run away! – for about thirty years. The last two years have presented real life scenarios that I sketched out in the story, but hesitated over because they seemed too unrealistic.
One involved a con-man whose victims can’t accept that he ripped them off. They poured everything they had into his scheme, they’re reduced to living in spare rooms with relatives, but still they hang on tight to the illusion of imminent wealth.
The steady collapse of the covid circus proves my idea wasn’t so unrealistic after all. The true believers are hanging on tight to the illusion of everlasting (if regularly updated) health.

Yes I agree. Plus, agreeing with the mandating of this vaccine, when it’s common knowledge that it doesn’t stop transmission is a crime against logic, as well as a crime against freedom. Such people are not well and probably best avoided. They will have to learn the hard way.

Quite different from the ‘my body, my choice’ mantra of the pro-abortion lobby, isn’t it? Ironically, the choice they talk of doesn’t extend to the unborn child. They really can’t see the contradiction in this I’ve discovered. On the one hand, they want to force everyone else to do something that has no effect on them simply to appear virtuous, on the other hand they demand absolute autonomy over their own bodies, even when this directly affects another person.

Your last sentence hit me. I’m in the same boat. Two old friends – one of whom wasn’t really a great friend anyway – are ‘fully’ vaccinated, whatever that means and it’s definitely impacted our friendships.. I ended up having an argument with one towards the end of last year – I respectfully gave my reasons for not taking the vaccine and he ended up storming out of the bar we were in. We haven’t spoken since, even though I sent him a ‘water under the bridge’ text the next day – I heard nothing back. Another friend I know who has been ‘holding strong’ this whole time took the plunge and told me he had taken two jabs to go to Thailand on holiday. To be honest it was disappointing to hear that from someone who seemed to be resistant to the propaganda. Suffice to say I haven’t heard from him as much and after hearing how he turned the corner I feel I lost a bit of respect for him. Sad how people can seemingly give up their principles so easily. I guess all us who are still unvaccinated – I suppose a large proportion on the site… Read more »

All the kids out of school, girls into prostitution or married off young. The broken economies. The halt on necessary vaccinations like measles and all the subsequent disease and deaths. But friends – former – feeling it all to be necessary to keep them safe on zoom. So disgusted.

How about we leave it at:

I suppose the bottom line for me is this:

I feel sorriest for the many I know (one of whom suffered an immediate serious “adverse event” following the second jab – with ongoing complications) who were forced to take the jab in order to keep their jobs.

  • For the rest, I am distressed by the injuries some have have already suffered and hope with all my heart that the others will be lucky.
  • For those who agreed with the coercion, the loss of respect is probably irreparable.
  • For those who devised, led and manipulated; for those who injected without taking the trouble to ask questions about what they were injecting – I want punishment.

the research discovered anti-vaccine people are viewed negatively.”

You only have to look at the language they use to understand their clearly unconscious negative bias. The 100,000 NHS workers who refused the government’s injection probably had all the usual vaccinations at school, as did their children, as did I. I also had several vaccinations during the course of work. I’m not anti vaccines, I’m anti vaccine mandated coercion. If the ‘vaccines’ were safe for use, they wouldn’t still have emergency use only authorisation.

I’ve never yet met a single vaccinated person who knew more than I did about infection rates, how the ‘vaccine’ works, efficacy etc than I do, but, yeah, of course we’re the unintelligent, ignorant, ones. I honestly believe that most people despise the unvaxxed because they showed an intelligence, patience, and an ability to think critically and calmly, which the vaxxed could not. In short, most know they’ve been sold a dud and take their anger out on the ones who thought it looked like a dud and wanted to see if it was one. Nobody likes to be proven an idiot… although the Guardian, and their readers, seem to strive for that very label.

I suspect the thinking was this – vax is announced, wall to wall propaganda, some doubts due to the speed of the development. But, “everyone” is taking it, so they take it to avoid confrontation or in some cases to avoid research and thinking. It is always easier to play along with a narrative as challenging it takes effort and occasionally some risk.

Then you meet a reasonable person you know who has declined. That person is an uncomfortable reminder you too could have declined. This creates mental anguish. You were weak, the other person wasn’t. At the very least it creates doubt.

It is far easier to pigeon hole the unvaxxed into a stereotype. A knuckle-dragging halfwit, a conspiracy theorist or misinformed person.

It also explains why we’ve seen so much polarisation in recent years. Brexit being another example. A sizeable chunk of the population is animated by poorly reasoned claptrap someone on TV told them. Alternative views come from horrible people. Those people aren’t just antivaxxers they are also homophobic racist climate deniers too 🧐

Yes its the ‘freedom from’ against the ‘freedom to’. The timing of all this was determined by how infantile the majority of the population has been trained to be.
The majority now see ‘freedom’ as being protection ‘from’ any hob goblin invented by the rulers.
Time was the rulers just used the ‘push the bolder up the hill and kicking it down again’ method of control. Now they have decided it needs the people employed to push the boulder to be totally divided in many ways. Its actually a sign they were getting worried about their ability to kick it back down again. Easier to make sure it never gets far up the hill at all by having the pushers so divided.

It’s the ratchet effect.
You give up some rules but keep others back and the MSM screams all the restrictions lifted. Did this yesterday for UK and I see (somewhat lock-step like) Ireland, according to The Grauniad just now “Ministers in Ireland have approved plans to remove almost all Covid-related restrictions, including the wearing of face masks, on Monday.” except again it’s only partial. The ratchet effect allows the normalisation of curbs on the UK subjects

People who have had a Covid vaccine hold negative views about people who have not…’

I’ll take that as respect then … you’ll find that the vaccinated don’t dislike the unvaccinated – they dislike themselves … but they project their self-hatred onto the unvaccinated because the unvaccinated are a reflection of what and where they wish to be.

Just to recap the madness

Lockdown, wear masks, walk anti clockwise, close schools, trash the economy, keep two metres apart etc to prevent contracting or spreading the virus

In order to save us from the above madness introduce a ‘vaccine’ that does not effect contraction or transmission

It’s not just unvaccinated, but anybody with opposing views to the narratives of the globalist agenda, are labelled as right wing extremists, mysogynists, racists, conspiracy theorists, anti vaxxers. Even when it’s clear for all to see that this is a complete fabrication.

I would not use the word “despise” to describe my feelings about the vaxxed, however: I find it hard to completely respect people who got jabbed just to be able to go on holiday or go clubbing or whatever it is they thought they needed it for, because they sold themselves cheap and have not done their bit to resist vaxx mandates, passports etc I have doubts about the sincerity of people who say “I got it to protect others” – I tend to think they actually got it for themselves or to go on holiday or because of peer pressure, but it’s sounds better to virtue-signal about it I find it hard to respect anyone who supports the mass vaxxing program because I think it’s deeply immoral and foolhardy I tend to think those who got jabbed because they were afraid are bit a weak-minded, but I don’t despise them Anyone who got jabbed because they might lose their jobs I have sympathy for though ideally it would have been better to resist I’m happy to move on and forget all this provided that people admit that vaxx mandates and passports are completely wrong, and that the mass vaxxing… Read more »

I should say that I don’t advocate going around haranguing the vaxxed or anything, but I don’t see how we can avoid the subject and remain true to our thoughts on this whole folly and evil – getting vaxxed to go on holiday is just giving in to fascism and people need to realise it’s possible to resist – look at the NHS 100,000 who forced the u-turn. If it had been 1,000 they’d have all been sacked.

The worry is that if they really do roll out a social credit score mechanism I know I absolutely cannot count on most of the vaxxed to push against it. When you won’t resist an experimental drug with no safety profile even over the medium term you are unlikely to resist something less immediately invasive.

Well, the trouble is that most of the vaxxed will support vaxx passports and/or mandates, either actively or tacitly by showing their papers. They will also actively or tacitly support the vaxxing of children, the suppression of vaccine information and lies that prevent informed consent, and of course wasting billions of OUR money on a useless, harmful, political intervention.

Yes there are vaxxed people who did it for their own protection who support none of the above, but I reckon not many.

Indeed. The vaxxed status tells you something about the level of critical thinking people possess. We can then speculate about other events, like the introduction of social control methods, and how much thinking they’ll bring to the table.

That’s because people who realise they simply don’t need this injection are driven by reasoned, civilised debate of available evidence, unlike many of the injected folks who are now so bitter that they were lied to that they turn against those who saw through the lie (instead of turning against those who told the lie).

From the small sample on here I would suggest that it works both ways equally. Personally I don’t care if a person has had a vaccine or not, it is personal choice, the same as for any medical intervention.
If you are against a specific vaccination for whatever reason then you should accept that people have a different view without name calling or demeaning them, and vice versa of course.

I think it’s very hard to separate the issues. I believe 100% in personal choice, but as per my points elsewhere in this thread, there are wider issues around the whole business of covid vaxxes which I don’t think we can avoid confronting as they are fundamental. In some ways I think the mass vaxxing and everything that has gone with it is the maddest and most evil part of the whole thing.

You are right, but that will prove to be the hardest part – convincing people that the mandates and passports are completely wrong and were, in fact, the driving force behind the vaxxing of all in the first place. The latter point sounds like conspiracy theory to them so most immediately switch off. The first points, about mandating and the need for the pass – a lot of people even now think it is a simple vaxx as we have known them all their lives. They have no idea of the side effects and even less idea of the immune suppression and mid/long-term damage that might be done to the immune system. They have not read enough and cannot get it into their heads that all our politicians and all our doctors would not know these things, so assume it must be okay. The fact that most of the politicians and doctors are humans too and have been just as happy to follow the propaganda has never crossed their minds. However, as the vaxx failed to amazingly, more and more people are bailing out on continued boosting – if the passes are still pushed and more people get locked out,… Read more »
