Some of us were anti-vaxxers from the beginning, having doubts about an experimental vaccine that did not have the years, if not decades of testing. But some such as Dr Julie Sladden, as detailed in a recent article, were made so by the government, going from a pro-vax doctor to someone questioning the Covid narrative, “the government-endorsed segregation and dehumanisation of those who exercised their right to refuse the jab, has forced me to change my identity.” The government ignored early treatment options and the costs of the lockdowns, let alone arguments against their effectiveness, that although she does not argue this point, is well-shown by the failure of communist china to produce zero Covid, and now locks down again tens of millions of people. And, as for the vax: “I then looked to the mRNA vaccines. Early data from overseas showed some concerning safety signals and surprising evidence of similar transmission rates by both vaccinated and unvaccinated. I could only surmise: we had new drug technology, with limited data, worrying safety signals, and indications it didn’t prevent infection or transmission. For me, the risks did not outweigh the benefits, especially if it meant I could still infect my patients.”
Spot on, and a pity more doctors did not have the guts, collectively to stand up to the system. It is their eternal shame, and darkens medicine, which already lives under the shadow of Big Pharma.
