I wonder as to how far the current crisis is used by 'machiavellian' power players to weaken civil liberties and constitutional rights as was the case with "9/11" to push something through like the "Patriot Act" with its wide ramifications for us all today.
I understand the allure just for this damn pandemic, this state of global health emergency, to force everyone to take their jabs already.
But even without the imagination of a science fiction writer thinking through every "subtle" implications long ahead of its time, it takes little to see the possible dawning - at the end of this tragic ride of a pandemic - of a less free and more restrictive biosecurity world.
Once the shots are compulsory, how many boosters are to come? Is there an expiry date (like 6 months) for natural immunity? Can we say definitively we only need 3 shots? Not more like once or twice every year? For how long? And why not additionally for the flu and other seasonal respiratory infections, now that the mRNA platform has proven its efficacy, its scalibility, its tremendous customizability and the compulsory laws being in place.
That's a good point that I've also been considering. It's easy to see how mandatory vaccination could serve as a stepping stone for simply more government overreach into peoples' lives.
First it's a mandatory vaccination against this one disease. Then, why not a mandatory vaccination against all diseases? Next, how about a mandatory serum that keeps you in peak physical condition for your entire life? And then at long last - the holy grail - we will eventually reach the point when a mandatory immortality serum is prescribed. This move would totally be in line with promoting the greater good, as surely death and suffering are undesirable no? And in a similar sense, many who are "vaccinated" will fail to comprehend why anyone in their right mind would choose to remain unvaccinated.
Governments of course would surely rejoice at having removed the first inevitability of life that hinders their collection of the second...
