More vignettes from the ongoing Covid wars:
What you hear about Covid from the mainstream media is quite often all rather skewed and biased, so I and others will keep speaking out, offering other perspectives on the matter. And there is never a shortage of things to discuss. Here are six more recent items – one from Israel, two from the US, and three from Australia.
I begin in Israel. As one report begins: “Nearly 2 million people could lose vaccine status in Israel as rules change. Nearly two million people are about to lose their vaccine status in one of the world’s most jabbed nations after the goalposts dramatically shifted.” https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/global/nearly-2-million-people-could-lose-vaccine-status-in-israel-as-rules-change/news-story/b0b1bed3810886629c4aa370d159428d
Another article explains:
Nearly two million Israelis previously considered fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are to be barred from schools, workplaces and social venues unless they have a third booster dose or can prove they are not infected in a significant tightening of “green pass” rules. Protests were staged across the country against the new rules as they were due to come in yesterday, while the health ministry’s website for people applying for a new digital green pass crashed under the demand. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/protests-after-israel-tightens-covid-rules-3dlx79d6x
Hmm, never-ending jabs seems to be the clear path of the future. So much for the miracle panacea of Covid vaccines. They may be of some use, but they are not at all the miracle cure so many have been droning on about. And the only thing quite certain here is that the Big Pharma billionaires will benefit greatly from all this.
As to the US, consider New York where a protest rally was recently held, incredibly not to make a stink about what is happening in NY, but what is happening in Australia! As I keep saying, it seems the whole free world is quite shocked at what is going on down under. The draconian lockdowns, dictatorial policies, and police state responses have been noted by many. As one report states:
Australia became the surprising focal point of an American anti vaccine mandate protest march for teachers in New York City overnight, with hundreds of demonstrators chanting “Save Australia” and some waving Aussie flags. The large crowd gathered outside the Australian consulate in the city for speeches in support of Australia after they marched through Manhattan.
The march began in Brooklyn outside Department of Education headquarters earlier in the day, as hundreds of people gathered to hear speeches. It mobilised and moved across the Brooklyn Bridge and into Manhattan, with chants of “Wake up, New York,” “Let us teach,” and “We, the people, will not comply.” https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/global/save-australia-teacher-protest-in-new-york-city-gathers-at-the-australian-consulate/news-story/c4393b3522f61f061e8f7ed7833a7522
And there would be so many cases of people facing unjust discrimination for daring to affirm what all human rights charters and medical ethics documents have declared, that we must fully have the right to determine what medical treatments we receive. The case of a Vermont woman is as representative as it is appalling in this regard.
The headline alone is ominous enough: “Vermont Woman Fired, Denied Unemployment for Refusing Vaccine, Becomes Homeless and Flees to Florida”. Part of the lengthy story says this:
“On May 18, 2021,” the curiously predated statement began, “Karen Skau refused to comply with JK Adams mask wearing policy as directed by the state of Vermont Executive Order No. 01-20. This is agreeing to this statement,” the form concluded above the signature line, “not admitting any wrong doing.”
After refusing to sign the form, Skau was summarily fired. Upon returning home, Skau immediately filed for unemployment. For three months she was assured by the unemployment office that everything was fine, until two weeks ago, when she was informed her benefits were being declined.
“They said you don’t qualify because it was your fault you got fired,” Skau said. “So, because I stood up against the vaccine mandate, they aren’t going to give me unemployment. That’s why I’m in Florida now,” Skau said.
In an effort to pay rent, Skau said she was forced to find menial jobs that were “off the books.” But she eventually lost her apartment. Then her car broke down. Finding herself homeless and without transportation, Skau fled to Florida where she and her two cats are now living in a bedroom at her boyfriend’s mother’s house, “all because of this.”
“This was my chance in life, to get on my own and live independently,” Skau lamented. “You know, I did my job to the best of my ability and they kept telling me how good I was doing at my job. So it wasn’t because I was a bad employee. It was simply because I stood up to this vaccine thing and said, no more.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/vermont-woman-fired-denied-unemployment-for-refusing-vaccine-becomes-homeless-and-flees-to-florida_4030883.html
As to Australia, I look at Victoria in particular. The first matter is once again about breaking records. Victoria has already taken the record for the most deaths due to Covid, and to its complete mishandling of things. Two days ago we set the world record for the longest and harshest lockdown in the world.
And despite all this, yesterday Victoria set a national record with 1763 new daily cases. Um, thanks for nothing Dan. We are all prisoners in Melbourne, yet Covid continues to run riot, while places like NSW and the rest of the world are opening up and getting their freedoms back.
Second, we have the sad case of Michael Leunig. He is a longstanding leftist and Age newspaper cartoonist. But of late he has gotten plenty of lefties absolutely fuming, as he has started to question some leftist narratives. For example, he has spoken out against forced vaccinations. The cartoon he recently did on this (see the following link) was just too much for the hard left Age, so they actually censored the cartoon! https://junkee.com/leunig-vaccination-tiananmen-square/310007
Lastly, there is another petition making the rounds on forced injections. This petition put out by the Victorian Nationals is well worth being aware of. It says:
The Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews has mandated that all authorised workers in both metropolitan and regional areas must have the COVID vaccination. If they do not comply, they will not be allowed to work. While vaccination is our safest and most important way out of this pandemic, the coercive nature of this Public Health Order undermines the civil liberties of Victorians and puts at risk our already stretched workforce in regional Victoria.
The Victorian public have already shown their willingness to support the vaccine. The roll-out of the vaccine is progressing at a strong and steady pace on a voluntary basis. The following question therefore needs to be asked: is this heavy handedness necessary and proportionate to counter the risk of COVID? I would argue, no.

As stated, much of this sort of information will not be found in the mainstream media. So I for one will keep sharing it. And you should share it too.
