I have noted before in the Covid debate how the Left has got right on board with Big Pharma. Back in the 1960s, the Left gained a lot of support for conducting a critique of Big Business and the evils that they got up to, much of it correct, even if the final anti-capitalist conclusion was wrong. Big Pharma corporations have tested drugs leading to deaths in the Third World, so one would have thought the Left would have been critical of Big Pharma today, rolling out their “racism” weapon. Not so, their leaflets are “Pro-Vax, Pro-Union, anti-Fascist.” But the merger of the State with corporations which we are seeing now, is the essence of Mussolini fascism. Where is the defence of workers who do not want to take the experimental jab?
“A self-styled “anti-fascist” group demanded stricter COVID measures at a protest in Brisbane, Australia over the weekend. The group held up a banner reading “Pro Vaccine, Pro Health, Anti-Fascist” while counter protesting anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators.
The group condemned “far right groups”, which they appeared to consider all those in opposition to vaccine mandates. “We are not gonna let people who wanna undermine important public health measures who keep people in our community alive,” a woman shouted into a megaphone. “Far right figures have been mobilizing all across the country, peddling conspiracy theories and lies that the vaccine is unsafe and that lockdowns are a communist plot to destroy freedom,” she continued.
The speaker went on to say that the group knows “how dangerous those ideas are” and added that without more harsh government restrictions, Australia would be seeing hundreds of deaths a day. Members of the group responded to each statement with shouts of “shame!”
Intense protests against mandatory vaccinates have been taking place in Australia over the past month. This continued in Brisbane over the weekend when a massive group took to the streets in protest of strict government COVID restrictions and mandates.”
I wonder what the Left thinks about Covid surges in highly vaccinated places like Waterford, Ireland? A Right-wing conspiracy? Who knows?
