Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

You need never get to Pol Pot if people have the courage of their convictions further back on the path.

The same sentence then can't be compatible with the rest, if we can still fully vaccinated spread it just as easily as those that are not vaccinated then this will always be a losing battle.

So you object to drivers licences, passports, seat belt mandates, closing times in pubs, bans on indoor smoking, general laws and public order measures? Gotcha.

If you can see it replacing the older vaccine passport then perhaps it was intentional that expiry dates and entries for multiple vaccines were included? Updates are always possible.

For what reasons the pass will be mandated will be down to governments - maybe just for international travel but the tool is there and some governments are already abusing it and it certainly feels we are being primed to accept it.

It certainly is good to verify your information

So my argument is that of the 50 states on the continent of Europe 4 states does not represent a majority... A majority is normally represented by 50%+1 which in the case of Europe, a majority would be 26. So that is well and truly checked and verified

The website you linked shows a lovely map of Europe in which 16 countries are labeled as green, with bars and clubs open to unvaccinated goers. Interestingly this includes the UK, of which which Scotland who have vax-passes, and NI whose clubs don't open until the 31st of October. Ireland is curiously yellow on the same map (bars and nightclubs open with little restrictions)

Including the 16 green and 5 yellow we are now at 21 countries, still nowhere near a majority

As you correctly say, it is good to verify your information

And coercive control legislation.

A loss of liberty without having committed a crime that justifies that loss, is certainly on the road to tyranny at least. If covid was a fraction as bad as you people make out, you'd have a point, but we know very clearly by now that it's not.

10 years of mediation wouldn't change the fact that our government is rotten to the core; by being both corrupt and incompetent. If people are angry, they are completely justified in being so, as they've been treated like idiots by their supposed representatives.

I don't think you really want me to write a dissertation on my life philosophy. Suffice to say, while most people have been happily (or unhappily) following the restrictions put in place, some human beings in this country have spent extensive periods of time locked in cages for flouting poorly-designed, reactionary government diktats during this period.

If you don't see that as an insanely authoritarian response to a disease with an average fatality age of 85 and an IFR <1% for people under 70, then we're just in very, very different places in regards to what constitutes authoritarian, and/or at what point along the path to tyranny it's worth making a nuisance of yourself about it.

Being angry doesn't provide solutions and once you have calmed down you have to figure out what to do. It's also pretty bad for your physical and mental health!

Do you not remember what it was like in our hospitals last January?!! I've worked in hospitals pre covid and while they were always mental, they were never full of people coming in with just respiratory illness. The covid wards went from pretty empty to full over 1-2 nights! I also was talking to a man in his early 40s who spent 9 days in hospital in February. While there he got a clot in his lungs from Covid (a pulmonary embolism which are often fatal if not detected quickly). While I know this is anecdotal evidence (which is granted more evidence than some presenters are posting, pulmonary Emboli dont just occur out of the blue in people in their 40s. To claim that Covid isnt that bad is pretty ill informed

This is my argument for why the nightclubs should open. Most of the people who suffer from covid19 won't be attending them. Most of the people attending them won't wind up in hospital with Covid19

Most importantly those that go clubbing had their lives on hold in order to save the vulnerable and should be rewarded for it
