Summary

The purpose of this paper is to object against any intention to make the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory
for any person in any situation under any circumstances.
I have attached a collection of detailed, non-exhaustive notes which discuss vaccines in general, the
COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 situation and COVID-19 injections (vaccines), all of which expand on the points
below and help shape my perspective on this situation.
Navigating my way through a sea of misinformation and disinformation from both “sides” of the
discussion, I have attempted to include information that is factual and accurate, present clear evidence
and reference as many studies and literature as possible, whilst acknowledging that I gravitate towards
the counternarrative perspective and that some statements are open to debate and rebuttal.

In Regards to Vaccines in General:

• There are serious question marks surrounding vaccine safety, supported by hundreds of studies,
countless testimonies by parents and their doctors, billion-dollar payouts in vaccine injury
compensation courts, vaccine adverse event reporting systems and various data, records, graphs,
facts, figures and observations.
• There is evidence that seriously challenges vaccine efficacy and effectiveness, including countless
people contracting diseases despite being vaccinated against that disease, outbreaks amongst highly
vaccinated groups/communities, mortality rates for many diseases dropping to low numbers well
before vaccines were introduced, studies indicating that unvaccinated kids clearly have less health
issues than vaccinated kids, and again various data, records, graphs, facts, figures and observations.
• A number of doctors, scientists, medical experts and health professionals have spoken out via
websites, documentaries, videos, interviews, posts, podcasts and books about their concerns
surrounding vaccine safety and efficacy, conflicts of interest and corruption.

In Regards to the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 Situation:

• Whilst acknowledging COVID-19’s potential impact on vulnerable people, we have a number of
doctors, scientists, medical experts and health professionals all around the world who have queried
the severity and nature of the virus, and the control measures implemented, based on a number of
factors. These include unreliable PCR testing methodology/results, a large percentage of people
dying with at least one comorbidity (many with 2 or 3), health officials admitting that deaths are
counted with people dying “with” COVID-19 or displaying COVID-19 like symptoms and not
necessarily “from” COVID-19, financial incentives for hospitals and nursing homes to list patients as
being COVID-19 positive, the average age of people dying with COVID-19 being very similar to the
average life expectancy, the high percentage of people who are asymptomatic or experience minor
symptoms, and the total number of deaths recorded last year (compared to previous years).
• We have a number of doctors and health professionals all around the world who can testify that
serious cases can be treated with already approved, safe, readily available, effective and inexpensive
pharmaceutical drugs and/or natural therapies, despite an attempt from mainstream media and
interested parties to refute these claims, and there are a number of studies that provide evidence of
the effectiveness of these treatments.

In Regards to the COVID-19 Injection (Vaccine) Rollout:

We have an experimental, genetically manipulating, biological agent using new mRNA/DNA
technology that has been rushed to market, still technically in trial stage, never been tested (or at
least no published data) on animals, never been independently tested for safety, efficacy or quality
(like all vaccines – only “independently” reviewed), never been proven to be safe, with misleading and
false efficacy claims, questionable effectiveness in providing individual protection, and ineffectiveness
in stopping infection and transmission.
• The pharmaceutical companies producing the COVID-19 vaccines, many of which have a long history
of fraud, illegal marketing, bribing doctors and falsifying data, resulting in lawsuits and settlements,
are 100% shielded from liability, hence they have no legal accountability for any deaths, injuries and
other adverse reactions resulting from the vaccines.
• We have a number of doctors, scientists, medical experts and health professionals all around the
world who are extremely concerned with the potential short-term and long-term adverse effects
including anaphylaxis, Bell’s palsy, blood clotting, myocarditis, auto-immune disorders, inflammatory
diseases, neurological disorders, menstrual cycle issues, infertility, breaking down of lung tissue and
death. Already, there have been several reported deaths and reactions reported through social
media, news reports and government vaccine adverse event reporting systems, and many frontline
healthcare workers are refusing the vaccine. As of August 13th, 2021, VAERS (a passive reporting
system in the USA that captures less than 1 to 2% of actual events) had already recorded 13,068
deaths and 54,142 hospitalisations resulting from the COVID-19 vaccines.

A Philosophical View:

• I’m proposing that we need to embrace a more wholistic view on the situation, a better acceptance
and understanding of viruses and the role they play, and perhaps even viewing viruses as more of a
biological/immunity software upgrade for the large majority of people. We need to focus more on
bettering our environment, improving our inner health, creating a healthy gut microbiome,
strengthening our immune systems and embracing naturally acquired immunity where possible,
whilst still implementing some practical control measures to help protect the more vulnerable people
in society. This alone would reduce an already low mortality rate to a very negligible one and would
save or prolong countless lives, as would the administering of safe and effective treatments already
available. As Dr Raymond Obomsawin states “If we relate to the natural world properly and treat it
properly, we will have health”. And with reference to ‘Pasteur versus Bechamp’, we would benefit
from looking at our terrain more so than the germ, creating an internal environment that supports
health and discourages disease.

A Final Word:

• Given that there is no clear evidence nor any expectations that the COVID-19 vaccines will stop
infection and prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and any of its variants, it basically comes down to
personal protection and hence no-one should be coerced or forced to take the vaccine to so called
“protect others”. If people believe the vaccine will offer some level of individual protection and
reduce their chances of hospitalization or death, then that is their choice. Likewise, if people do not
believe it will, or feel that the risks associated with taking the vaccine outweigh the risks of refusing
the vaccine, then that is also their choice. This is all about medical freedom, informed consent, and
the right to say no without being punished, coerced, marginalized, discriminated against and denied
the rights to go about your everyday life including going to work, travelling, attending public events
and participating in various social activities. In four words, I do not consent. It’s my body and hence
my choice. Likewise, it’s your body and hence your choice.
