Vaccine passports must be defeated as removes their basic human right of freedom of movement
COVID-19 vaccine "passports" threaten human rights.
The editorial in The Age newspaper, "Victoria can't go on like this", after the announcement of the 3-week extension of the lockdown in their words "will leave people struggling beyond the point of endurance." In my experience after that announcement, that is already the case. Especially for those that did not want to take these vaccines.
There are many prominent people and doctors offering a range of different treatments, why is the government not testing them? This proposal of vaccine passports which stabs at the heart of our freedom, must be defeated
Uncertainty to the future
Uncertainty as to their future is crippling families, businesses and confidence. These people feel threatened by vaccine passports that will remove their basic human right of freedom of movement, their jobs are threatened by mandated vaccines in the workplace at the same time seeing terrible decline in the mental health of work mates, children and families.
Furthermore they're threatened by the demand to vaccinate their children which is surely not warranted when Sarah McNab - director of general medicine at the Royal Children's Hospital said "For children out in the community who were diagnosed with COVID."
"We know we have about 200 children in Victoria at the moment with COVID and none of these children are in hospital. In children we see very mild illness and the vast majority of children with COVID including Delta are doing very well."
Immoral and massive government overreach
Harvard Medical School Professor Martin Kulldoorf said, "research showing natural immunity offers exponentially more protection than vaccines which means that vaccine passports are unscientific, discriminating and unethical."
Jon Miltimore says in FEE Org Magazine "the bottom line is this, that vaccine passports will be immoral and a massive government overreach even in the absence of Professor Martin Kulldoorf's findings. There is simply no historical parallel for governments trying to restrict the movements of healthy people over a respiratory virus in this manner."
"People that have not had COVID and choose not to get vaccinated, may or may not be making a wise decision. But if they are, they are principally putting only themselves at risk." There are many prominent people and doctors offering a range of different treatments. Why is the government not testing them? This proposal of vaccine passports which stabs at the heart of our freedom, must be defeated. That's just as I see it.
