Vaccines Do Not Stop COVID-19 Spread As Governments Claim: Legal Advocacy Group

Authored by Andrew Chen via The Epoch Times,

Vaccines are not as effective in stopping the spread of COVID-19 as governments have claimed them to be, an analysis of government narratives conducted by a constitutional rights group shows.

The report (pdf), published Tuesday by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, found that claims made by government leaders that mandatory vaccination will reduce or stop the spread of COVID-19 are not supported by either medical science or real-life experience in the countries that have achieved the highest level of vaccination.

“Unfortunately, and contrary to government-led narratives and media coverage in both Canada and the U.S., the evidence strongly suggests vaccinations do not stop the spread of Covid – not the original strains, and not the later Delta and Omicron variants,” the Justice Centre said.

In its analysis, the legal advocacy group compared government-led narrative and what authoritative health agencies say about vaccine effectiveness in stopping the spread of the coronavirus with the actual situation in “heavily vaccinated communities,” including Israel, the United Kingdom, the U.S. state of Vermont, Gibraltar, and Sweden.

“We conclude that whatever value vaccines may have in reducing hospitalization and mortality, they do not ‘work’ with the thoroughness government leaders claim, and certainly not to the degree that mandatory enforcement or vaccine passports could ever be justified in Canada as a reasonable limitation upon individual rights to bodily autonomy and Charter freedoms,” the Justice Centre said.

Goal of Vaccines Redefined

The Justice Centre said that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) change of definition of a “vaccine” in September has effectively switched its goal from producing “immunity” to merely providing “protection” against an infectious disease.

According to the CDC website, “vaccination” is now defined as “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.”

In response to social media controversies following the revised definition, the CDC said the previous definitions could have been interpreted to mean that vaccines were 100 percent effective, which “has never been the case for any vaccine.”

The Justice Centre also found many government-led narratives and health policies to be socially divisive.

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden repeated the narrative that vaccines work, both leaders have introduced restrictions requiring employers to enforce mandatory COVID-19 vaccination mandates.

“With these actions, Prime Minister Trudeau and President Biden have separated Canadians and Americans into two groups: those who can fully participate in society and those who, having been first excluded from events and restaurants, can now be barred from earning a living, often in employment they have enjoyed for decades,” the Justice Centre said.

Evidence of Reinfection

Public enthusiasm for mass vaccination stemmed from the concept of “herd immunity,” which means that when enough people within a society become immune to a disease, it becomes harder for an infected individual to spread the virus.

However, the Justice Centre noted that real-world evidence shows that even in heavily vaccinated communities around the world, fully vaccinated people continue to contract and die from COVID-19.

One of the most notable examples is Israel, which was the first country in the world to have the majority of its citizens fully vaccinated. However, cases started to surge in June 2021, and over 13,000 fully vaccinated individuals had breakthrough infections between July 11 and July 31, 2021.

“To date, no government has presented the public with evidence to support its repeated and fear-filled propaganda message that the Covid vaccine stops the spread of Covid,” the Justice Centre said.

“In a free and democratic society, an ineffective policy of mandatory vaccination and vaccine passports to participate in normal society, deliberately excluding unvaccinated Canadians from civil society, cannot be justified as a reasonable limitation upon Charter rights and freedoms.”

Indefinite Covid Prison Camps For Unvaccinated Proposed In New York State Legislation

In the next legislative debate, which will begin on January 5, 2022, the New York Senate and Assembly could pass legislation which would give the permission to remove and detain cases, contacts, carriers, or even anyone in suspicion of posing a “significant threat to public health” and separate them from the public on an indefinite term. The bill proposes indefinite COVID prison camps for the unvaccinated. Bill A416 poses a serious threat to the fundamental freedoms of all Americans in New York State, including their ability to choose if they are to receive medical aid and vaccines related to infectious diseases.

The Bill A416 is still waiting to be on the Floor Calendar since January 6th 2021, and can be seen here: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/a416.

The bill allows the Governor of New York and their delegates, which included the commissioner and heads of local health departments, the power to separate and hold up any people or group of individuals by only having to issue a single order. The orders just have to include the person’s name(s) or “reasonably specific descriptions of the individuals or groups.”

The department may decide to detain a person or group of people in a medical center or any other center it deems appropriate. The language is deliberately kept vague.

While the bill aims to ensure that no one can be detained for more than 60 days, the language allows court judgments to be overturned to remove the maximum length of detention. Past the 60 days elapsing, the court has an additional 90 days to consider a person’s detention, a cycle that the department said could go on indefinitely.

It later goes on to state that the Bill is going to “require an individual who has been exposed to or infected by a contagious disease to complete an appropriate, prescribed course of treatment, preventive medication or vaccination,” and gives the government the right to apprehend and vaccinate anyone by force.

Since the wording of the bill refers to individuals or groups who are “potentially” threatening, the bill is a preemptive strike in opposition to anyone who the department believes could pose a potential threat in the future, like the individuals who refused to accept the vaccine for COVID-19.

No explicit reference exists to indicate what kinds of infectious diseases qualify an individual to be removed from the public, detained, and forced into getting the vaccine and medical treatment. Technically, anyone can be kept in isolation as long as they are considered non-infectious, which can raise the question of whether HIV / AIDS carriers will be released into society.

The bill received a lot of negative feedback on the New York Senate website. Commentators noted that, “this is disturbing and sets up a terrible precedent for future law. The governor can basically detain whoever [he/she] likes on the basis of scanty evidence. This is un-American.”

The Day to Discard NATO is Near

by Pat Buchanan,

“Get off our front porch. Get out of our front yard. And stay out of our backyard.”

This might stand as a crude summary of two draft security pacts Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei A. Ryabkov delivered last week as Russia’s price for resolving the crisis created by those 100,000 Russian troops on Ukraine’s borders.

Ryabkov’s demands appear to be a virtual ultimatum, designed to be rejected by the U.S. and NATO and provide Moscow with a pretext for an invasion and occupation of part or all of Ukraine.

Among the maximalist Russian demands:

  • Written guarantees from NATO that it will not admit into the 70-year-old Cold War alliance any more ex-Soviet republics, specifically, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
  • Offensive weapons are to be kept out of nations that border Russia.
  • The U.S. and Russia should keep their warships and strategic bombers away from each other’s territory. The U.S. should forgo planting military bases in any of the five “stans,” the Central Asian nations that once were part of the USSR.
  • NATO should withdraw military infrastructure it has placed in Eastern European states after 1997.

That date is significant. For not until 1999 did Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic join NATO. And the accession of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Slovenia came only in 2004.

Russia is calling for the creation of a security zone around its borders to include all of the former Soviet Union and beyond, where U.S. and NATO military bases would be prohibited.

That Ryabkov’s demands were specific and made public suggests they are to be taken seriously and Russian President Vladimir Putin is behind them. The deputy foreign minister is calling for immediate negotiations over these security pacts to begin in Geneva.

Before dismissing these Russian demands outright, the U.S. should look closely to see if there are not some issues on which compromise is possible and common ground can be found so the Ukraine crisis might be defused.

One senior U.S. official has been quoted as indicating such:

“There are some things in those documents that the Russians know will be unacceptable … but there are other things that we are prepared to work with and merit some discussion.”

The U.S. has already signaled, with President Joe Biden’s warning to Putin about “severe … economic sanctions” should Russia invade, that we are ruling out war and confining any U.S. response to nonmilitary means.

British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said that the U.K. is also unlikely to send troops to defend Ukraine if Russia invades, as Ukraine is not a member of NATO.

Nor is the U.S. or NATO going to war for Georgia to validate its claims to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as we showed in 2008. That August, President George W. Bush sat immobile as Putin’s Russia threw the invading Georgians out of South Ossetia.

Again, America is not going to war for Georgia or Ukraine. We have demonstrated that with our inaction in the Russian-Georgia war of 2008, in the Crimea and Donbass crises in 2014, and in the Ukraine crisis of 2021. So, why not find a way to convey this reality, to avert a Russian invasion of Ukraine and war Kyiv would surely lose?

If Ukraine and Georgia are not going to be admitted to NATO or given Article V war guarantees, why not say so publicly now?

What is happening today is that, after decades of moving NATO east from the Elbe River to the Baltic states and borders of Russia itself, the chickens of NATO expansion are coming home to roost.

Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has doubled in size.

We now have outstanding U.S.-NATO war guarantees to 28 nations on the other side of the Atlantic, some of them tiny nations deep inside Eastern Europe, in the very shadow of Russia, the largest nation on earth.

The day cannot be far off when the U.S. is going to have to review and discard Cold War commitments that date to the 1940s and 1950s, and require us to fight a nuclear power such as Russia for countries that have nothing to do with our vital interests or our national security.

Ryabkov’s call for U.S.-Russia negotiations at Geneva may be the place to begin a public reappraisal of our Cold War commitments.

For any concessions we make on not expanding NATO into Ukraine and Georgia, we can demand reciprocal Russian concessions. New arms agreements to limit U.S. and Russian missiles in Europe and to restrict the number of U.S. and Russia air and naval operations near the borders of our respective countries seem negotiable.

A Russian-Ukrainian war, which Kyiv would almost surely lose, would prove a disaster for both nations.

The winner would be China. For such a war would leave Russia no place else to turn for an economic, political and strategic partner. And U.S. interests are not served by the cementing alliance between Beijing and Moscow.

Covid Tests vs. Pregnancy Tests Accuracy

The best home pregnancy tests are around 98% accurate. If you forced 1 million men to take a pregnancy test, 20k men would be told they are pregnant.

If you base pregnancy on a test, and not a clinical diagnosis. It would seem that there was an epidemic of pregnant men.

The Covid test is not even close to being 98% accurate. With even the best labs saying that the real accuracy is close to 76%.

If you test one million men with a pregnancy test that is 76% accurate, you will have 240k pregnant men.

You can not claim anyone has Covid based on a single lab test without having a clinical diagnosis of symptoms. Not when the total amount of positive results is within the margin of error for the test.

So to mandate a vaccine for a supposed disease, where every single positive result could in fact be a false positive, is insane.

COVID Vaccines Are Irreversible And Permanently Damaging To Kids

by Robert W. Malone. M.D., M.S. on Substack.

COVID vaccines are “irreversible and potentially permanently damaging,” says Dr. Robert Malone, who explains why 16,000 physicians and medical scientists around the world signed a declaration publicly declaring healthy children should not be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Before you vaccinate your child — which is irreversible and potentially permanently damaging — find out why 16,000 physicians and medical scientists around the world signed a declaration publicly declaring that healthy children should NOT be vaccinated for COVID-19.

On behalf of these M.D.s and Ph.D.s, I have published a clear statement outlining the scientific facts behind this decision:


My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct. [category scamdemic – corona virus]

I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination.

I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.

After this, I will be posting the text of this statement so you can share it with your friends and family.

Before you inject your child — a decision that is irreversible — I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:

There are three issues parents need to understand:

The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including:

  • Their brain and nervous system.
  • Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots.
  • Their reproductive system.
  • This vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system.

The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable:

  • You can’t fix the lesions within their brain.
  • You can’t repair heart tissue scarring.
  • You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system.
  • This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family.

The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.

  • We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks.
  • Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later.

Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history.

One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.

  • Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents.
  • It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease.

In summary: There is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.

The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.

As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children.

How Stupid Do They Think We Are?

Very, apparently. Take a look.

More lies from the MSM

Because cold weather has never been with us before. And the freedoms you’ve already lost are not enough. According to the MSM, you need less, not more freedom.

And this from the German insurance company Barmer.

Prepare To Suspend Your Common Sense

Heart Attack and strokes caused by climate change?

And since the war on fossil fuels is causing blackouts and Europe is now in winter, people WILL freeze. That’s just going to happen. This will be blamed on “climate change”.

The truth no longer matters, only the power of a totalitarian government to dictate to you what that truth is. If you suggest otherwise, you WILL be canceled, locked up, and dealt with. All totalitarian systems work like this. Please realise this. This is what we’re living in. We are already there.

Sticking With Next Level Brainwashing

Thousands facing heart problems due to ‘post-pandemic stress disorder’

Up to 300,000 people in the UK are facing heart-related illnesses due to post-pandemic stress disorder (PPSD), two London physicians have warned.
This could result in a 4.5 per cent rise in cardiovascular cases nationally because of the effects of PPSD, with those aged between 30 to 45 most at-risk, they claim.

At this point I’d like to look at the meaning of gaslighting:

Gaslighting is a colloquialism that is loosely defined as “making someone question their own reality”. The term may also be used to describe a person who effectively puts forth a false narrative that leads another person or a group of people to doubt their own perceptions and become disoriented or distressed.

Now let’s look at some things stated by this surgeon.

“I’ve seen a big increase in thrombotic-related vascular conditions in my practice. Far younger patients are being admitted and requiring surgical and medical intervention than prior to the pandemic.”

“I believe many of these cases are a direct result of the increased stress and anxiety levels caused from the effects of PPSD.”

Let me show you another exhibit.

Heart damage plagues Covid-19 survivors a year after infection, study shows

We are now seeing multiple “explanations” for deaths from heart related illness. The proposed solution to the problems clearly and evidently corresponding to vaccination is the same response that central bankers have been giving us with respect to quantitative easing.

The clear evidence that covid-19 vaccination not only DOES NOT work but that it is simultaneously causing and has caused multiple other problems is ignored. The solution, moronically, is more of the same.

What’s more… many will fall for it.

Last week we discussed Africa and omicron. The inability to “explain” why it is that Africa has had no meaningful change in deaths related to Covid or any other respiratory disease must be shielded from the world.

I mean, the data is all there for those who care to look. But unfortunately most people rely on the MSM to tell them what to think. And so we get what we have now. Mass confusion.

Sticking with the topic of this truly massive fraud, Majid Nawaz recently interviewed Professor Norman Fenton who is Professor of Risk Information Management at Queen Mary London University and is also a Director of Agena, a company that specialises in risk management for critical systems. Norman is a mathematician by training whose current research focuses on critical decision-making and, in particular, on quantifying uncertainty.

It is a rather disturbing conversation, now backed up by hundreds of others, though you’ll notice they’re all increasingly being censored.

Let’s look at some other track records:

  • Joe Biden: “you’re not gonna get COVID if you have these vaccinations”
  • Anthony Fauci said the shots are “almost 100%” effective at preventing severe disease
  • CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said “vaccinated people do not carry the virus” and “don’t get sick”

let's go brandon

And correlating tightly with the above.

  • 1 death in 2019
  • 6 deaths in 2020
  • 109 deaths in 2021 (up to September). If we amortize that we get to 145 deaths by year-end.

Clearly we need to do something about these deaths from climate change. Perhaps we should have climate lockdowns?

I leave you with this:

So where to with this?

Well, Davos man is pushing ahead at breakneck speed. Our Swedish friends are already barreling down the path they want us all on.

covid passport mandates

Following Sweden’s announcement that the coronavirus vaccine passport requirement will be put into practice, the number of people who got microchips inserted under their skin rose, according to local media.

This should terrify freedom-loving people. These are very dark times, and clearly we need to protect our capital from inflation amongst other things, but we need to protect our capital and our lives from this “communist” onslaught. This becomes incredibly important because history indicates that we’ll have a fleeing of capital from places that implement communism to places that have relative freedoms. If that plays out — and it already is — then risk/reward becomes more important than at any other time in our lives.

But to get there it is required that some NLP (neuro linguistic programming) is provided:

Nature Creates Plastic-Eating Microbes Clearing Pollution Away

via RT

Global plastic pollution is forcing our planet to adapt, growing microorganisms that can degrade the accumulating waste, a new study claims. Living organisms with the potential to diminish 10 types of plastic have been discovered.

Bugs producing plastic-degrading enzymes both on land and in oceans are growing in quantity and diversity, the study from the Swedish Chalmers University of Technology shows. Researchers have discovered over 30,000 enzyme homologues – members of protein sequences sharing similar properties – that live all around the planet and have the potential to degrade the 10 types of plastic most widely used by humans.

Around 12,000 such organisms were found in the ocean, and 18,000 in the soil, researchers revealed, adding that their habitats correlate with local levels of plastic pollution. The highest amounts of plastic-degrading bugs were discovered in “notoriously highly polluted areas,” including the South Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

“We did not expect to find such a large number of them across so many different microbes and environmental habitats. This is a surprising discovery that really illustrates the scale of the issue,” the study’s first author, Jan Zrimec, said.

While it was previously known that some enzymes can digest plastic, scientists now believe the environment is evolving to grow more of these organisms to deal with some 380 million tons of plastic produced annually. The latest findings represent “a significant demonstration of how the environment is responding to the pressures we are placing on it,” according to a researcher from the Chalmers University of Technology, associate professor Aleksej Zelezniak.

Scientists hope that further analysis of the environmental DNA samples with plastic-degrading potential may help people manage the pollution crisis. These microorganisms hold “great potential to revolutionize the management of global plastic waste,” the study claims. Its authors now want to test “the most promising enzyme candidates” in the lab, and identify those that can be used in novel recycling processes to speed up very slow plastic degradation. “From there you could engineer microbial communities with targeted degrading functions for specific polymer types,” Zelezniak explained.

There’s a Shocking New “Bedwetter” Variant on the Loose

by Andrew Cadman via : The Conservative Woman

SCIENTISTS are warning of a terrifying new Covid variant that could lead to mass neurosis amongst a frightened British population.

It has been named the ‘Bedwetter’ variant. Its properties are:

1. No symptoms

2. No fatalities

3. No transmissible infection

Nonetheless, the variant is known to cause rampant bedwetting amongst the conformists, the cowards and those pathetic people who have no lives of their own but who love to control those of others.

It follows hot on the heels of the notorious ‘Omniballs’ variant, which translated from the Greek alphabet means ‘A load of b*ll*cks’. That variant was particularly virulent amongst crooks and charlatans, the first outbreak being recorded after a mass gathering of the political and media class at Downing Street last year. So virulent was the Omniballs variant that in a hundred years from now, every single person who attended that party will be dead.

The new variant is even worse. Tragically, when in advanced stages of non-infection, it causes a violent brain fever, with those stricken known to start raving about locking down the unvaccinated and compulsory vaccination for all, even the dead.

‘It’s very important that the dead are vaccinated in order to protect them from getting Covid,’ said Communist Party member Susan Mickey-Take from Independent Onion. ‘Unfortunately, voluntary uptake amongst the dead community has been extremely poor, and based on our research, we can now reveal the shocking statistic that 100 per cent who have been dead for over a year have not had the vaccine. We’ve tried reaching out to elders within the dead community, but nothing seems to work, so it’s time to get tough with these refuseniks. We implore the government to disinter anyone buried in the last 150 years and compulsory vaccinate their corpses whether they agree to it or not.

‘We think going back that far will probably be enough, though there are contingency plans to vaccinate everyone going back to the Neolithic Age if our modelled worst-case scenario comes true. After all, you can never be too careful.’

Indeed. God help us all.

Who Will Be Held Responsible for this Devastation?

by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute

If the pandemic policy response had taken the form of mere advice, we would not be in the midst of this social, economic, cultural, political disaster. What caused the wreckage was the application of political force that was baked into the pandemic response this time in a way that has no precedent in human history.

The response relied on compulsion imposed by all levels of government. The policies in turn energized a populist movement, Covid Red Guard that became a civilian enforcement arm. They policed the grocery aisles to upbraid the maskless. Drones swarmed the skies looking for parties to rat out and shut down. A blood lust against non compliers came to be unleashed at all levels of society.

Lockdowns granted some people meaning and purpose, the way war does for some people. The compulsion to bludgeon others trickled down from government to the people. Madness overtook rationality. Once this took place, there was no longer a question of “Two weeks to flatten the curve.” The mania to suppress the virus by ending person-to-person contact extended to two years.

This happened in the US and all over the world. The madness achieved nothing positive because the virus paid no attention to the edicts and enforcers. Ending social and economic functioning, however, shattered lives in countless ways, and continues to do so.

It is precisely because so much about life (and science) is uncertain that civilized societies operate on the presumption of the freedom to choose. That’s a policy of humility: no one possesses enough expertise to presume the right to restrict other people’s peaceful actions.

But with lockdowns and the successor policy of vaccine mandates, we’ve seen not humility but astounding arrogance. The people who did this to us and to billions of people around the world were so darn sure of themselves that they would take recourse to police-state tactics to realize their goals, none of which came to be realized at all, despite every promise that this would be good for us.

It’s the compulsion that’s the source of all the issues. Someone wrote the edicts at someone’s behest. Someone imposed the orders. Those somebodies should be the people who should own the results, compensate the victims, and otherwise accept the consequences for what they have done.

Who are they? Where are they? Why haven’t they stepped up?

If you are going to force people to behave a certain way – to close their businesses, kick people out of their homes, stay away from meetings, cancel vacations, physically separate everywhere – you have to be damn certain that it is the right thing to do. If the people who did this were so sure of themselves, why are they so shy to take responsibility?

The question is pressing: who precisely bears the blame? Not just in general, but more precisely: who was willing to step up from the beginning to say “If this does not work, I accept full responsibility?” Or: “I did this and stand by it.” Or: “I did this and I’m very sorry.”

So far as I know, no one has said anything like this.

Instead, what we have is a big jumble of messy bureaucracies, committees, reports, and unsigned orders. There are certain systems in place that seem structured in a way that makes it impossible to find out who precisely is responsible for their design and implementation.

For example, a friend of mine was being harassed by his school for not being vaccinated. He wanted to speak to the person who imposed the rule. In his investigation, everyone passed the buck. This person put together a committee which then agreed on best practices left over from some other printed guidance approved by another committee, which had been implemented by a similar institution on another matter. This was then adopted by a different division and passed on to another committee for implementation as a recommendation and then it was issued by another division entirely.

Incredibly, throughout the whole investigation, he failed to find a single person who was willing to step up and say: I did this and it was my decision. Everyone had an alibi. It became one big mush of bureaucracy with no accountability. It’s a tub of dough in which every bad actor pre-built a hiding place.

It’s the same with many people who have been disemployed for refusing to divulge their vaccine status. Their bosses typically say that they are very sorry for what happened; if it had been up to them, the person would continue to work. Their bosses in turn demur and blame some other policy or committee. No one is willing to speak to victims and say: “I did this and stand by it.”

Like millions of others, I’ve been harmed materially by pandemic response. My story lacks drama and is nothing remotely close to what others have experienced but it is salient because it is personal. I was invited to join in a live studio appearance on TV but then was refused because I refused to divulge my vaccine status. I was sent to a separate studio reserved for the unclean where I sat by myself.

The person who informed me said the policy was stupid and he objected. But it is the company policy. Maybe I can speak to his boss? Oh, he is against this stuff too. Everyone thinks it is dumb. Who then is responsible? The buck is always passed on and up in the chain of command but no one will accept the blame and bear the consequences.

Even though the courts have repeatedly shot down the vaccine mandates, there is universal consensus that the vaccines, while perhaps offering some private benefits, are not contributing to stopping infections or spread. Which is to say: the only person who might suffer from being unvaccinated is the unvaccinated himself. And yet still, people are losing their jobs, missing out on public life, being segregated and blocked, and otherwise paying a heavy price for not complying.

And yet there are still people who are intensifying the blame game that blames not government nor public health authorities nor anyone in particular but rather a whole class of people: the evil unvaccinated.

“I am furious at the unvaccinated,” writes Charles Blow of the New York Times, a paper that kicked off the pro-lockdown propaganda as early as February 27, 2020. “I am not ashamed of disclosing that. I am no longer trying to understand them or educate them. The unvaccinated are choosing to be part of the problem.”

How precisely are the unvaccinated the problem? Because, he writes,“it is possible to control the virus and mitigate its spread, if more people are vaccinated.”

This is plainly untrue, as we’ve seen from many countries’ experiences around the world. Look up Singapore or Gibraltar or Israel or any high vaxx country and see their case trends. They look the same or worse than low vaxx countries. We know from at least 33 studies that the vaccines cannot and do not stop infection or transmission, which is precisely why Pfizer and people like Anthony Fauci are demanding 3rd and now 4th shots. Shots without end, always with the promise that the next one will achieve the goal.

Mr. Blow is propagating falsehoods. Why? Because there is an appetite out there to tag someone or something with the fault for the wreckage. The unvaccinated are the scapegoats to distract from the real problem of discovering and holding to account those people who undertook this experiment without precedent.

The trouble now is finding out who they are. The governor of New York did terrible things but now he has resigned. His brother at CNN propagated lockdown ideology but he was fired. The mayor of New York has perpetrated evil but he is sneaking out of office in a few weeks. Some governors who locked down their populations have declined to run again and will try their best to disappear.

Dr. Deborah Birx, whom we know for certain was the person who talked Trump into approving lockdowns, quietly resigned and has done her best to avoid the spotlight. The journalist at the New York Times who whipped up total hysteria while calling for brutal lockdown has since been fired from his job. So too for hundreds of public health officials who have resigned or been fired.

Who is left to blame? The most likely candidate here is Fauci himself. But I can already tell you his excuse. He never signed a single order. His fingerprints are on no legislation.

He never issued any edicts. He never had anyone arrested. He never blocked the entrance to any church nor personally padlocked any school or business. He is merely a scientist making recommendations supposedly for people’s health.

He has an alibi too.

Much of this reminds me of World War I, the “Great War.” Look up the causes. They are all amorphous. Nationalism. An assassination. Treaties. Diplomatic confusions. The Serbs. Meanwhile none of these reasons can actually account for 20 million dead, 21 million wounded, and wrecked economies and lives all over the world, to say nothing of the Great Depression and rise of Hitler that came as a result of this appalling disaster.

Despite investigations, countless books, public hearings, and public fury that lasted a decade or more after the Great War, there never was anyone who accepted responsibility. We saw a repeat of the same following the Iraq War. Is there any record of anyone who said “I made the decision and I was wrong”?

So it might be for the lockdowns and mandates of 2020 and 2021. The carnage is unspeakable and will last a generation or two or more. Meanwhile, the people responsible are slowly slipping out of public life, finding new jobs and sanitizing their hands of any responsibility. They are scrubbing resumes and, when asked, blaming anyone and everyone else but themselves.

This is the moment in which we find ourselves: a ruling class terrified of being found out, called out, and held accountable, and therefore incentivized to generate an endless series of excuses, scapegoats, and distractions (“You need another shot!”).

This is the least satisfying conclusion to this awful story. But there it is: it is very likely that the people who did this to us will never be held accountable, not in any court and not in any legislative hearing. They will never be forced to compensate their victims. They will never even admit they were wrong. And herein lies what might be the most egregious feature of evil public policy: this is not and will not be justice or anything that even vaguely resembles justice.

That is what history would suggest, in any case. If it is different this time and the perpetrators actually do face some consequences, it would still not make things right, but at least it would set a fabulous precedent for the future.
