Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fomenting hatred is a tool of tyrants, and over the past two years, political leaders, agency heads, academics, medical professionals and media personalities alike have publicly encouraged hatred and violence and wished painful death upon anyone who didn\u2019t want to be part of the medical experiment that is the COVID jabs.<\/p>\n
In an eloquent Medium post, journalist Susan Dunham summarizes the lessons (hopefully) learned from hating and attacking the unvaccinated:1<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n \u201cThe mandates have let up, and both sides stumble back into something that looks like the old normal \u2014 except that there is a fresh and present injury done to the people we tried to break. And no one wants to talk about it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Only weeks ago, it was the admitted goal of our own leaders to make life unlivable for the unvaccinated. And as a deputized collective, we force-multiplied that pain, taking the fight into our families, friendships, and workplaces. Today, we face the hard truth that none of it was justified \u2014 and, in doing that, uncover a precious lesson.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It was a quick slide from righteousness to cruelty, and however much we might blame our leaders for the push, we\u2019re accountable for stepping into the trap despite better judgement.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We knew that waning immunity put vast numbers of the fully vaccinated on par with the shrinking minority of unvaccinated, yet we marked them for special persecution. We said they hadn\u2019t \u2018done the right thing\u2019 by turning their bodies over to state care \u2014 even though we knew that principled opposition to such a thing is priceless in any circumstance …<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And so it was by the willful ignorance of science, civics, and politics that we squeezed the unvaccinated to the degree that we did … [W]e cannot hold our heads high, as if believing we had logic, love, or truth on our side while we viciously wished death upon the unvaccinated. The best we can do is sit in the awareness of our rabid inhumanity for having cast so many aside …<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n [B]etting against them has been a scathing embarrassment for many of us who\u2019ve now learned that the mandates only had the power we gave them. It was not through quiet compliance that we avoided endless domination by pharmaceutical companies and medical checkpoints at every doorway.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It was thanks to the people we tried to tear down … We took the bait by hating them, but their perseverance bought us the time to see we were wrong. It seems right now like the mandates will return, but this time there\u2019s hope that more of us will see them for what they are: a rising authoritarianism that has no concern for our wellbeing.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Dunham addresses the situation from the point of those who fell for the hypnotic command to despise anyone \u2014 friends and family included \u2014 who refused to buy the official narrative about the COVID shots. Most of you, however, have likely been on the receiving end of those attacks.<\/p>\n How are you choosing to address it? What have you learned? I suspect many of you are indeed willing to forgive, but few will ever forget those betrayals. But as noted by Dunham, no one really wants to talk about what was done.<\/p>\n Everyone\u2019s just going along as if it never happened. As if our leaders didn\u2019t actually call for our deaths. As if our president didn\u2019t warn us his patience with us was \u201cwearing thin\u201d2<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u2014 a threat that implied bad things would happen once patience ran dry. As if news anchors like Don Lemon didn\u2019t actually say we deserved to starve and shouldn\u2019t be allowed to enter a grocery store.3<\/span>,<\/sup>4<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But they did say those things, and family and friends did reject us as a result.<\/p>\n Remarkably, even now, with everything we know for sure about the jabs, the war against the unvaccinated continues in many areas, and while compassion is slowly making a comeback, ignorance of the basics still abounds. As noted in a January 21, 2022, MSN article:5<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n \u201cThere seems to be a war on the unvaccinated individuals because of the recent spike in COVID-19 cases due to the more transmissible Omicron variant … Starting last year, the Austrian government imposed restrictions solely on the country’s unvaccinated population, as many people wondered why those who got vaccinated should also face the same restrictions as those who opted against it …<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I am all for encouraging people to get vaccinated; I had my jabs and my booster immediately when they became available in my community … But I wonder: Just how necessary is this war on the unvaccinated?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What if a person decided to opt-out against the vaccine because they had preexisting medical conditions, simply feared for their life, or lacked the knowledge about it because the government was too busy forcing and scaring people instead of genuinely informing them?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sadly, the author of that MSN piece seems convinced that if only the reluctant were to be given the science, the data, they would understand why the shots are so necessary, when the reality is that the science and the data have been the basis for our refusal from the start. Until or unless the experimental jab pushers acknowledge reality, we will never be able to see eye to eye.<\/p>\n The MSN author also believes that lack of financial incentive is behind some of the vaccine hesitancy:6<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n \u201cIf a person is given the choice between going to work or to the vaccination center, they would simply choose the option where there is money. That is just the reality. If they can go to the vaccination center and can still be promised to get their day\u2019s pay, why wouldn’t they want to get vaccinated, right?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This naivet\u00e9 ignores the reality that countless individuals have sacrificed their careers by refusing the jab. For most of us, it was never about a lack of financial incentives. It was about the very real dangers the jabs pose \u2014 dangers that \u201cthe powers that be\u201d have yet to fully acknowledge.<\/p>\n From the start, I and many others warned that the demonization of the unvaccinated was an extremely dangerous war tactic. In an August 2021 Townhall article, Wayne Allyn Root wrote:7<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n \u201cIt’s time for alarm bells. It’s time for me to play the part of Paul Revere: \u2018The communist tyrants and dictators are coming!\u2019 … They’re coming first for unvaccinated Americans. This is 1938. I’m a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938 … the pre-Holocaust … This is only the beginning. It gets much worse from here.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n First, \u2018the papers.\u2019 Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports are just like 1938, when the Gestapo demanded papers from every German. Republicans asked for \u2018papers\u2019 from migrants who had broken into our country … Republicans asked for \u2018papers\u2019 once every two years for federal elections, to prove you have a right to vote.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Democrats said, \u2018No, that’s racism.\u2019 Now Democrats want American citizens, not illegal aliens, not criminals, but patriots born in this country, to produce papers 24\/7 …<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Weren’t Jews injected with experimental drugs by the depraved Nazi government? Wasn’t that a key part of the Nuremberg trials? That no government could ever again inject experimental shots into the bodies of unwilling citizens? Isn’t that a basic human right? … [F]orcibly injecting Americans who don’t want it. That’s 1938.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Root goes on to detail the fate of Jews during those pre-Holocaust years. They were locked in their homes. They were barred from work. Their businesses were deemed \u201cnonessential.\u201d They couldn\u2019t travel. They had to wear a conspicuous yellow star on their clothing so they could be easily identified and targeted for public displays of hatred. Jewish books were burned \u2014 that was the 1938 version of online censorship and deplatforming.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst, they came for the unvaccinated. Trust me: Next, they’re coming for you,\u201d Root said. And, indeed, in recent weeks, we\u2019ve seen the stage being set for another fabricated hate-fest. This time, the gay community is the designated enemy and target.<\/p>\n Same-sex relations has been identified as the primary source of a global monkeypox outbreak. Almost every article discussing the outbreaks mentions it. That\u2019s how it begins. I\u2019ll be very surprised if the gay community won\u2019t be targeted for exclusion, derision and attack in coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n Will enough people have learned the lesson of humility that Dunham highlights? Have enough cognitively recognized the error of their ways, or will they fall into the trap yet again? Only time will tell. At the end of February 2021, Nick Cohen with The Guardian warned that \u201cIt is only a matter of time before we turn on the unvaccinated.\u201d8<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n\n
