Macron Sparks Backlash After Commenting He Wants to Bully Unvaccinated 'Until the End' | 5 Jan 2022 | French President [and World Economic Forum scum-bag] Emmanuel Macron has drawn condemnation from political opponents after he made a controversial statement this week, saying he is determined to make the lives of French citizens who refuse to get vaccinated against the CCP virus miserable. "I'm not for p---ing off the French...Now the unvaccinated, I really want to p--- them off. And so, we're going to keep doing it, until the end. This is the strategy," Macron said during an interview with Le Parisien on Tuesday. Macron went on to say that he "won't send [unvaccinated people] to prison," but he will make their lives more complicated and encourage people not vaccinated against COVID-19 to get the shot by "limiting as much as possible their access to activities in social life." "So we need to tell them--from Jan. 15, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema." A parliamentary debate proposing a new set of coronavirus rules for unvaccinated people was suspended on Wednesday as opposition lawmakers accused Macron of using divisive language, urging the president to explain himself.

COVID-19: Sajid Javid directly challenged on mandatory coronavirus jabs by unvaccinated NHS doctor --Steve James, a consultant anaesthetist who has been treating coronavirus patients since the start of the pandemic, tells Health Secretary Sajid Javid about his displeasure with the government's policy of mandatory vaccination for NHS staff. | 7 Jan 2022 | Health Secretary Sajid Javid has been directly challenged by an unvaccinated hospital consultant over the government's policy of compulsory COVID jabs for NHS staff. During a visit to King's College Hospital in south London, Mr Javid asked staff members on the intensive care unit about their thoughts on new rules requiring vaccination for NHS workers. And Steve James, a consultant anaesthetist who has been treating coronavirus patients since the start of the pandemic, told the health secretary about his displeasure. "I'm not happy about that," he said. "I had COVID at some point, I've got antibodies, and I've been working on COVID ICU since the beginning. "I have not had a vaccination, I do not want to have a vaccination. The vaccines are reducing transmission only for about eight weeks for Delta, with Omicron it's probably less. "And for that, I would be dismissed if I don't have a vaccine? The science isn't strong enough.”

Medical Ethics Prof on CNN: 'Penalize' Unvaccinated Americans - Deny Them Affordable Health Insurance | 5 Jan 2022 | NYU Professor of Bioethics Arthur Caplan, a guest on CNN Wednesday, said it is time to "shame" and "blame" unvaccinated Americans, adding that society should "penalize" them in a variety of ways, including higher hospital bills and insurance premiums. "...It's the unvaccinated who are going to be hurt, so why should anyone who is boosted bother at this point to do anything that makes the unvaccinated more safe?" CNN's John Berman asked. "...I'll condemn them. I'll shame them. I'll blame them. But I don't want to exclude them," Caplan replied, before detailing his desire to "penalize" unvaccinated Americans and implement more coercive tactics to corner them into getting the shot. "...We can penalize them more. We can say, 'You've got to pay more on your hospital bill if you weren't vaccinated. You can't get life insurance or disability insurance at affordable rates if you weren't vaccinated.' Those companies should not treat us as equals in terms of what the financial burdens are that that disease imposes.”

Judge Gives FDA Eight Months, Not 75 Years, to Produce Pfizer Safety Data --The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will have eight months -- not the 75 years it requested [!] -- to release all documents related to the licensing of Pfizer's Comirnaty COVID vaccine, a federal judge ruled Thursday. | 7 Jan 2022 | The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will have eight months — not the 75 years it requested — to release all documents related to the licensing of Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID vaccine, a federal judge ruled Thursday. In his ruling, Judge Mark Pittman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, quoted President John F. Kennedy, writing, "A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." Judge Pittman rejected the FDA's claim that it could release redacted versions of documents at a rate of only 500 pages per month, which would have meant the full cache of documents wouldn’t become public until 2096. The documents in question relate to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in August 2021 by Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT), a group of more than 30 medical and public health professionals and scientists from institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and UCLA.
