Vaccine Mandates Are “Scientifically Questionable” and “Ethically Problematic”, Say Researchers

A group of medical researchers and bioethicists have written a comprehensive assessment of Covid vaccine coercion policies, encompassing passports, mandates and segregated lockdowns. They argue in no uncertain terms that these measures are “scientifically questionable” and “ethically problematic”.

While most of the points in their article will be familiar to readers of the Daily Sceptic, the article is valuable in virtue of its sheer breadth and attention to detail. I’ll try to provide a brief summary.

Kevin Bardosh and colleagues begin by noting that the publicly communicated rationale for Covid vaccine policies has shifted over time, from ‘ending the pandemic’ and ‘getting back to normal’, to reducing the burden on the healthcare system. (Such shifts do not inspire confidence that policymakers really know what they’re doing.)

The authors spend the bulk of the article discussing the harmful unintended consequences of Covid vaccine policies, drawing on insights from the behavioural sciences, law and bioethics.

They cite evidence that the coercive nature of Covid vaccine policies is likely to reduce compliance with other public health measures, including recommendations to take existing vaccines (which have much longer track records than the Covid vaccines). This owes to mechanisms of psychological reactance and loss of trust in the health authorities.

The authors argue that such effects will be compounded by the use of stigmatisation as a public health strategy, and by the dissemination of misleading or false claims on the part of health authorities (such as Anthony Fauci’s claim that, once vaccinated, “you become a dead end to the virus”).

As regards the former, the authors have compiled a list of some of the most incendiary statements made by politicians about unvaccinated people.

Emmanuel Macron admitted his aim was “pissing them off”. Justin Trudeau described them as “extremists who don’t believe in science”, adding “they’re often misogynists, also often racists”. Naftali Bennett accused them of “endangering their health, those around them and the freedom of every Israeli citizen”.

Yet as Bardosh and colleagues note, many unvaccinated people had perfectly good reasons for remaining unvaccinated, such as being in a low-risk category or having natural immunity from previous infection.

Turning to the legality of Covid vaccine policies, the authors note that many measures were merely decrees, passed under states of emergency in the absence of normal democratic governance. As a result, injured parties (such as those who lost their livelihood) have had fewer or no opportunities for proper redress.

Vaccine passports also constitute a significant infringement on privacy, insofar as they require the sharing of medical information with people other than one’s doctor, including not only border officials, but owners of pubs, restaurants and nightclubs.

What’s more, vaccine mandates that disproportionately restrict people’s access to things like work, education and social life can be considered violations of basic human rights, the authors argue. This may explain why the WHO’s Director of Immunisation said in 2020, “I don’t think we envision any countries creating a mandate for vaccination.”

There are many other interesting observations in the paper itself, which is worth reading in full.

Too true – but get used to ‘em.

The Johnson government is in the process of signing UK up to the WHO’s ‘global pandemic plan’……..this will surely mandate jabs.

Mandatory jabbing is illegal in UK – but if an international treaty demands it, then the law will have to be changed.

All this is being done whilst the MSM concentrates on Ukraine.

That’s why we also have the bills going through parliament to crack down on the right to protest and to shackle dissenting opinions in the media. It is all coordinated.

Once OFCOM get the right to regulate online content under the ‘harmful but not illegal’ clause you can kiss goodbye to sites like Lockdown Sceptics and TCW.

It worked better at the time that Vernon Coleman was a GP. More autonomy, more clinical freedom. Ironically ‘the state owns your body’ has become more prevalent since Thatcher and Blair, neither of whom were lefties.

GPs must not be salaried. They must remain independent contractors. IMO the correct method of payment remains a simple capitation fee, i.e. £200 per year or whatever for every patient on that GP’s list.

No payments for blood pressure or cholesterol tests, no payments for putting a patient on statins or BP drugs. Those corrupt practices were part of the pharma takeover of the NHS.

No jabs and if kitten can’t access mice include some raw meat and fish in her diet, commercial pet foods are dire. No cat or dog was ever supposed to consume that much fibre. I reckon most pet illnesses are deficiency diseases or consequential to vaccination. I think it was parvo virus that was unheard of in dogs until pet vaccines were introduced in the 1970s.

There are certainly unneutered feral male cats around, and toms will travel a long way to find a female in heat. Your cat will certainly turn up pregnant, probably the first time she goes into heat, unless you very carefully keep her locked up inside (and good luck putting up with all the caterwauling when she is in heat).

Towns and cities could do with a few more unowned cats, they keep the rodent population in check. In my view cats are the guardians of the night, keeping evil and rodents away from the house. Trouble is the do gooders would rather kill off the cat population, much like the government wants to do to us.

We had a vet who wasn’t into vaccines and so we had blood titres done for the dog and she isn’t vaccinated – she’s now 15 and doing well.

Unfortunately the vet retired and the practice has been taken over by a large vet group and has a completely different ethos. The younger vets are all about the drugs but there are older ones who are still open minded and respect our decisions.

Sadly, kennels insist that dogs are vaccinated but we used alternatives to kennels when we went away and will do that for any other dogs we get.

Yep. I didn’t realise this, but apparently in the US it’s common to stick the flu jab into any fool that will take it, regardless of age. I spoke to a 23-year American lad just before Christmas who was appalled when I said they only offered the flu jab to people over 60 in NL, he couldn’t believe it. Didn’t think to question whether we had more flu deaths, apparently that part is irrelevant.

Alex Berenson had an item on his substack earlier this week about the flu jab and that it does not seem to have done much to stop flu deaths. Lots of commenters BTL said they would not be getting them any longer. I suspect that as more people see how spectacularly the convid vaxx has failed, they will also start looking at the flu vaxx as well – being similarly useless, if not quite as lethal.

Two things: Firstly I trust humans ultimately to identify this creeping evil and realise they’re in a corner. So far while life remains relatively ‘normal’ people have been able to carry on in blind ignorance without questioning what’s happening. I believe that the transformation to the kind of dystopia TPTB have in mind would be met with resistance and people would find ways round the apparatus that digital serfdom would entail.
Secondly, I think that these big changes require momentum and moral panic. Covid provided, in Klaus Schwab’s own words, a ‘window of opportunity’ to put in place big changes to society and now that pandemic fatigue has clearly set in, I think that window is closing. Without another pandemic (and no, I wouldn’t put it past them) I just don’t think there is the political headroom to start demanding vaccination and making normal life contingent on it. How would they justify it? There are legal proceedings the world over against the Covid chicanery, it’s becoming toxic. I think they’ll go back to creeping technocratic changes and anyway, the Western financial system may run away from them before they can usher in their Brave New World.

The ‘demanding vaccination to make living normal contingent on it’ is the part that has never made sense to me – why on earth should you need a vaccination to access your bank account or to buy food – there could be no logical justification for it, but the days of logical justification for anything might disappear if the EU get their policy in place (scarily soon) and the UK signs up to the WHO pandemic treaty. MSM is silent on both, so how would people then know to push back against those things unless they are doing their own research and know that they are in train. Kate attached this link to a piece on Robert Malone’s substack account last night – it is good and worth a read.

Malcolm Roberts was impressive, which only serves to underline the spineless bunch of MPs we now have – with only a handful of principled exceptions. If only an opposition party leader would take up the cudgels, as Charles Kennedy did both before and during the Iraq slaughter in 2003, or a government minister would step down and attack Boris & chums from the back benches (as Robin Cook did).
But it ain’t gonna happen, as UK politics is broke beyond repair. And the younger generations have absolutely no grasp of political, ethical or moral imperatives, only their careers. And that means being seen to say and do the right thing at all times. That’s a one way ticket to disaster – so scr*w them!
There can be no cosy retirement or care home vegetation for those older folks who can see through this deliberate mess, as we all need to stand against it.

Quite correct that vaccine policies are likely to reduce compliance with other public health measures. I won’t even be going to the quack for any more health checkups. I don’t trust them as far as I could throw them.

Another consequence is the massive divisions between friends and family. I have given up hope of ever seeing one of my children and two of my grand-children ever again. And I have given up on several decades long friendships because it’s impossible to talk to them without them thinking, and in some cases saying, that I’m an idiot.

If an MLA seeking election to the Stormont assembly has the temerity to knock on my door in an effort to canvass my vote they will have to be able to give me a good answer to 2 questions:

  1. How precisely do you plan to enable patients to see a GP face to face and when will this be re-introduced (I haven’t had any kind of GP care even over the phone since before Dec 2019. and
  2. What do you plan to do to oppose the plans of the WHO pandemic treaty which will result in mandatory vaccination and digital ID/CBDC

I expect to receive a blank look when I raise question 2.

And I have a neat follow up to question 2 which will also likely bamboozle them – ie considering due to the crap Brexit deal, NI has been “left inside” the EU, so does UVDL’s proposed plans for the EU along similar lines to the WHO apply to NI and if so how do they plan to get out out of them.

I’ll report back if it happens.

IMHO, the sensible reply to such a statement is “Fine. I have absolutely no problem with you not wanting to pay for my health care, however, I don’t want to pay for your health care, either, and especially, I don’t want to pay for this enormously expensive vaccination campaign. Where can I get my money back?”

I agree, however you overlook the fact that he has been brainwashed by Piers Morgan, and therefore rational sane arguments are not effective.

”many unvaccinated people had perfectly good reasons for remaining unvaccinated, such as being in a low-risk category or having natural immunity from previous infection”

I’m not particularly low risk, I haven’t had covid and didn’t and won’t have the so-called vaccines. For a number of reasons. I don’t think they are vaccines. I don’t think they are safe. They haven’t been though the standard regulatory processes to obtain approvals. I think mandates of any treatment are wrong, and I won’t be told, manipulated, pressured or coerced by anyone, and especially Boris Johnson, to inject anything into my body.

Yet as Bardosh and colleagues note, many unvaccinated people had perfectly good reasons for remaining unvaccinated,

This is the type of back door BS that will prop up future vaxx mandates. It doesn’t matter if a person has a ‘perfectly good reason’ or not, all that matters is that a person is given the FULL info about the medical treatment and is allowed to make a FREE & UNCOERCED decision accordingly, as per the ethical principles contained in the Nuremberg code. Perfectly good reasons under future legislation are open to be defined by secondary ministerial powers – in other words one does as one is told.
Even if it is the greatest treatment known to man, with zero side effects and a ten year guaranteed life extension, if I don’t want to take then that’s that!!

Absolutely! Even the wording used here is framing the narrative – “ethically questionable”. No it’s not ‘questionable’, it is simply outrageous! No one should be coerced into taking any type of drug, medication or treatment they do not want, beginning and end of story, nor should they have to justify why they do not wish to subject their body to such.

An important point. Deciding for yourself is always good enough reason to refuse treatment.

This we know …but when not one single Institution from Government Ministers, Police, the Courts the Lords to th Media the Unuons theTeachers the Universties, the H of Commons, the MHRA , the NHS Establishment the scientific ‘Community” will do anything to blow the whistle. Only yesterday we hear from an ex-SKY executive of Ofcom’s role as threatening to shut down, censor and repress the freedom of the Media to report the truth and cancel anuy journalist who steps out of line. Media exposure of the truth could have killed this dark project months ago – instead Media have been the principal agencies of lie propaganda fear stoking and and repression. Emergency Covid Legislation = Police State ( see 1934 Germany) It seem it is now to be out permanent form of Government – just as it was for AH. The vaccines are political, not medical and the end game is a planned health/control nightmare for all of us. Say what you like but they must have been planning this down to the last detail for decades!

It doesn’t take a scientist or researcher to know that mandating any medical treatment via the threat of exclusion from society is unethical. Yet late last year Johnson proclaimed on the telly that many of the things we enjoy will become conditional on being jabbed. The EU has a consultation out to extend its jab pass scheme for another year from June 2022. Why, at a time when the latest variant is in retreat on the continent (it must be thus because the entire EU is coloured green compared to orange – which the UK is – on France’s border control)? Because they intend to continue using it and reinforcing it later in the year when the next variant arrives (cue dake panic, propaganda, blaming the unjabbed etc). Otherwise they’d rescind the scheme entirely now. It’s illogical to extend the use of something beyond the supposed need it was introduced for. But then it was an EU policy to introduce jab passports before the lab released virus hit our shores. In the UK we are in a fight for our lives, livelihoods, rights, history and culture. The supposedly conervative govt is seeking to dismantle the right to dissent online at… Read more »

It is pretty grim.
The legislation they are pushing through will of course be selectively enforced.
So BLM and the ecotards will be allowed to protest all they want but if you are an anti lockdown protestor protesting against your right to protest being removed you will get your skull cracked by the police.

Unquestionably Harmful and Unethical.

Before this past 2 years I took vaccines without question to travel etc, likewise my child was vaccinated with the usual things and also for travel, likewise if sick and it was necessary to see a Doctor I took the medications prescibed. When the Covid 19 vaccines were introduced, I was suspicious of how a product which normally takes several years to trial and test could be bought to market in a matter of months, and utilising a new novel technology that had in the past failed and caused death in lab animals. I had already been ill in 2019 December, I was working in Milan and had a cough and bad cold symptoms which did not confine me to bed, but the cough lingerered for several weeks. I have since remained Covid free and have not taken any of the novel vaccines. My point is as a result of the rush to market and then the subsequent force, lies, incitement to hatred by politicians and their advisors across the western world, In March 2020 I started to examine the stats, the medical papers, listen to the voices of those scientists who were once esteemed in their field but who… Read more »

“After what I have seen with Covid 19, I now do wonder if the scientists who linked MMR with Autism were actually on to something.”

I think the short answer Hester is “Of course they were”.

Check out Del Bigtree and the Highwire podcasts he does. He has been all over this for years.

Andrew Wakefield made the unfortunate error that he included a conflict of interest in the way in which he went about his research. When MSM, Big Pharma and all the other main players found that they let out a giant sigh of relief and went hell for leather to discredit his research – otherwise the MMR and other jabs were going to go out of the window as being distrusted by parents and the profits of Big Pharma were going to plummet.

You know the old saying, if you are hovering close to the target they will take you out.

They are correct. My trust in the NHS and Big Pharma is at an all-time low. I won’t be going anywhere near them. Thankfully I am a qualified medical herbalist so in most things I can treat myself successfully. Plus I’ve been in contact with covid so many times over the last two years and had no symptoms whatsoever, that I see no point in accepting a vaccine. My natural
immunity is working well.

Vaccines already are mandatory for certain things in certain places, like foreign travel, school attendance in some countries etc.

Germany, where school itself is mandatory, passed a law in 2019 that all children had to be vaccinated against measles to attend kindergarten or school, plus all teachers and all health and care staff. Measles – from which on average one person a year dies in Germany… And because you can’t get the measles vaccine by itself, you have to be vaccinated against mumps and rubella at the same time… So there people already have to share their “health” data with public institutions and politicians didn’t bat an eyelid. I know, because I attended my (back then) local parliamentarian’s surgery on the issue.

Also we had mandatory vaccination for smallpox for many years in the 19th century. It’s not new, but it failed so miserably and caused so much suffering that it was eventually ditched. And still we believe the myth that smallpox was eradicated by vaccination. It’s all madness.

‘Get the vaxx or get the axe’ mandates in the workplace are slowly being wound back even in Covid-crazy Australia. The police force, the schools, the hospitals are all realising that locking out many of your best, most experienced workers for being unvaxxed is creating, wait for it ….. workforce shortages!

So, its welcome back to the unclean. But, but, but …. they must wear a mask at all times and test negative twice a day to be able to set foot in the office/classroom/patrol car. Must keep dehumanising and stigmatising the non-compliant!

Let’s stick with the ethics for a minute.
It will never ever be acceptable for governments to force individuals to inject the product of a private company into their bodies and make them pay for the privilege. If you can’t see that this is wrong then you are lost. And let’s be clear that is pretty much what all countries have done using fear and coercion. Utterly disgusted with pretty much all so called world leaders at this point.

Vaccine mandates are undemocratic, anti- libertarian, outrages. Any politician who tried to introduce them or voted for them should be tried in a Nuremberg- style court for crimes against humanity.
