20 questions to proponents of vaccine mandates
To get vaccinated or not, should be a purely personal decision, based on an individual risk-benefit analysis. We fully accept the informed decision of both, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Unfortunately, there is an increasing number of politicians and citizens calling for vaccine mandates. In their opinion, every citizen must be vaccinated and those who refuse should be fined and potentially face prison sentences. Below we have listed several questions, that we hope vaccine proponents can answer:
Politicians have been telling us, that we are living in an unprecedented health emergency requiring exceptional measures. Does an alleged emergency justify novel and excessive violations of personal and economic rights, especially if the officially reported1 infection and death rates don’t look exceptionally high compared to previous pandemics?
Governments and health officials have repeatedly misled2 the population. Now they are telling us, that our only option to end the crisis is to vaccinate the whole population. Can we trust them?
Information on natural immunity, effective early treatment and vaccine adverse effects is actively suppressed by governments and the media, even if it was written by renowned scientists. No public discourse is allowed. Does such an approach provide a sound basis for far-reaching public health decisions?
Why are governments trying to hide, that Covid vaccines only have preliminary3 approval, and manufacturers are completely exempt from liability for vaccine-induced injuries including death?
If the vaccines are as effective as we are being told, why is it necessary to protect the fully vaccinated from the unvaccinated? If they are not, why should an unvaccinated be forced to get inoculated with an ineffective product
Politicians are claiming, that vaccines provide the only way to achieve herd immunity. If this was true, why have cases soared to new peaks in highly vaccinated countries? And why are there outbreaks on fully vaccinated cruise ships and naval vessels?
By now it is an established fact, that the fully vaccinated can transmit the virus. Even if we assume, that they are less infectious than the unvaccinated (some scientists claim the opposite), does this allow authorities to deprive the unvaccinated of essential human rights, while the fully vaccinated are exempt from most restrictions?
Some scientists contend, that mass vaccinations with the current Covid vaccines generates more virulent and potentially lethal variants. Are you aware of this? Why is this information not covered by main-street media channels?
If the Covid vaccines are very safe, why have doctors around the world filed reports of roughly 20,000 suspected vaccine-related deaths, more than for all other vaccines combined over the last 1 to 2 decades?
Is the life of a fully vaccinated person more valuable than the life of an unvaccinated person? If not, why do you request, that the unvaccinated risk their health and even their lives to ‘protect’ the fully vaccinated?
Can you bear the moral responsibility, if some of your relatives, friends, or coworkers die from vaccine injuries, after being forced to get inoculated against their explicit will by a government, that you supported? Can you live with severe guilt, if your child dies, because you arranged vaccination to protect yourself and your parents?
Is it legally and morally justified, to administer a medicine to defenseless children, when short-term adverse events are more lethal than the disease, while long-term risks are unknown?
Why should people with natural immunity against Covid, who already have a higher level of protection than the vaccines can provide, be forced to get vaccinated?
Do you believe in the existence of inalienable human rights? If yes, why are authorities allowed to exclude healthy individuals from society, detain them at home or in camps, and force them to get vaccinated?
Are you prepared to get a booster shot every 3-6 months, considering that Covid vaccines are causing substantially more adverse events than flu vaccines
Vaccine formulas remain the secret of pharmaceutical companies? How can you be sure, that current or future vaccines don’t contain sedative, addictive, gene changing or toxic substances?
If authorities are allowed to fine and imprison those, who don’t get vaccinated, what will be next? Will they soon fine and imprison people for alleged environmental violations (e.g., for driving their own car, going on vacation, eating beef, taking a hot shower, or wasting electricity on fun activities). Where does it end?
Instilling fear and hatred among the population are traditional propaganda tools used by totalitarian regimes. Do you detect similarities with the current situation?
What should you fear more? A disease, that not everyone gets and for which the chance of survival is well over 99%, except for the elderly and those with existing serious health issues. Or a totalitarian regime, that aims for total control of the whole population?
Think about all the questions above. Are you still sure, that vaccine mandates are morally justifiable and the only way to end the current crisis?
A detailed and properly referenced analysis is available on our website livebeyondborders.com. Updates and additional information are posted here and on Twitter (@LBB_Research). We don’t claim to own the truth. If you don’t agree with our findings, we look forward to engage in a public discourse based on facts and figures, not unsubstantiated propaganda slogans.
According to worldometers.info, which mostly relies on official government data, over the past 22 months only 5% - 15% of those living in developed countries have contracted Covid. Death from (in many cases probably only with) Covid has occurred in about 2% of confirmed cases and 0.08% - 0.24% of the population. The large majority of deaths is among the elderly and those with previous severe medical conditions
I) lockdowns will only be in place for two weeks to flatten the curve. Once every citizen has been offered the vaccine, all restrictions will be lifted. Locking down only the unvaccinated will prevent another surge in cases.
II) The vaccinated can’t get infected. There are only very few breakthrough infections. Vaccination prevents severe disease and death. Severe disease and death are much less common among the fully vaccinated. III)
If you are vaccinated, you can’t transmit the virus. The vaccinated are less likely to transmit the virus. IV) Vaccines are very safe. Vaccine adverse events are only mild. V) There will be no vaccine mandates
In the EU Covid vaccines have a Conditional Marketing Authorization (CMA), in the UK Temporary Authorization, in Australia Provisional Registration, in Canada an Interim Order and in the USA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). BioNTech’s Comirnaty, which has been officially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is currently not available in the USA. Instead, the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine, which is identical, is administered under EUA so that Pfizer can be exempted from any liability
