As John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough lay out in their recent book, Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality (2025), the COVID era didn't just roll out shots, it erected a full-blown faith where jabs were the saviour, and doubters were heretics. But here's the sting: this "religion" isn't about divine intervention; it's armoured with legal shields, institutional gag orders, and a culture that sacks sceptics faster than you can say "placebo trial." It's not even about whether vaccines work. It's the ironclad protection from scrutiny that screams cult, not science. COVID? That was the high mass, with dissenters burned at the stake.
Flash back to the pandemic frenzy. Leake and McCullough nail it: Governments chased mass vax with "fanaticism," painting the genetic jab as humanity's redeemer. Their chapter "In Vaccines We Trust" drops truth bombs. CDC's Rochelle Walensky admitted in August 2021 that the shots didn't stop infection or transmission. Yet mandates soldiered on for months, hitting jobs, travel, even military service. Why? Symbolic piety? Or a deeper power play? Millions got COVID post-booster, hinting at antibody-dependent enhancement, but faith held firm. As Leake muses, this a test-run for stripping bodily autonomy.
But this isn't new. Vaccines have long worn a halo of untouchability. Enter the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, a federal fortress that nukes manufacturer liability for injuries. Purpose? Stabilise supply by shielding Big Pharma from lawsuits. Instead of courts, claims go to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a "no-fault" setup funded by a tax on vaccines. Sounds fair? Payouts are rare, burdensome, and capped, while makers rake billions risk-free, as in Australia.Straight-up: No civil suits for vaccine harms if design-compliant. COVID cranked it up with the PREP Act, granting emergency immunity to makers, distributors, even administrators. RFK Jr., now HHS head, could yank these shields, but that's 2024 drama … point is, legal armour lets "science" dodge the courtroom crucible.
Efficacy aside the real red flag is scrutiny's exile. True science thrives on doubt, falsifiability, replication, debate. But vaccines? Sacred cows. Many skip gold-standard placebo trials; schedules balloon without long-term data. Question it? You're an "apostate." On X, @SenRonJohnson torches it: "Faith in vaccines is protected with religious zeal... questioners viewed as dangerous apostates deserving scorn." @meghaverma_art calls them "religious sacraments," doubt, and lose kids, jobs, freedom. @NicHulscher dubs it "Vaccine Ideology: The False Religion," where clinics are worship halls, side effects a "cherry on top," and dissidents censored.
COVID lit the pyre. Dissenters? Sacked, smeared, silenced. A 2022 study in PMC spotlights suppression: Top docs and scientists from global spots faced tactics like retraction demands, media blackouts, even threats. Critique, and you're out. Edwin Asturias, booted from advisory board, speaks: Power trumps evidence. On X, tales abound: 500+ hospital workers quit or fired over mandates, despite religious pleas. A 2023 CIDRAP report flags 52 docs for "misinformation."
This isn't science, it's dogma. Federal boards rule mandates violated Charter rights for Christians, yet exemptions vanish in states. Australia? Biosecurity Act: Refuse, face jail or $66,600 fine, notice the Satanic digits.
Closed systems breed errors, think retracted studies, overlooked harms. Openness sparks progress; cults stagnate. Leake ties it to Scruton's "devil's work": Despairing elites remaking the world in hubris. But as awareness swells by mRNA risks being exposed, the creed cracks, as it must, as the truth will, eventually, out.
