"Everyone who refuses a vaccine could be a killer on the loose, and should be judged accordingly"
The whipping of the unjabbed rolls on. Where will it lead?
A few weeks ago, there was an orchestrated campaign in the British press to target all the vaccine “refuseniks” of the land.
The Sun said to “Jab them all up”. LBC’s Shelagh Fogarty joked with a caller “how do you keep seeing these people without wanting to poison their coffee or something”. The Daily Mail’s Sarah Vine (wife of British politician and front bencher Micheal Gove) published an opinion piece called: “We can't let selfish idiots who don't want free Covid vaccines that scientists worked around the clock to develop hold us hostage”.
Even Good Morning Britain and Express columnist Richard Madeley has turned. Last October, he was criticised for suggesting that lockdowns don’t work. But in his latest piece he has done a 360, calling for “ring fence vaccine-hesitant areas so the rest of us can live life”.
But Madeley’s proposition about actually building a leper wall did not win the dystopian prize. No, not even close.

This was reserved for Sean O'Grady of the Independent. In his “This is what we do about anti-vaxxers: No job. No entry. No NHS access” article, the associate editor wrote:
“What shall we do about the anti-vaxxers? A presumptuous question, I know, because they’re human beings, same as the majority of the population who choose to take the Covid-19 vaccines, and we’re all entitled to do what we will or won’t with our own bodies”.
“But the time has come when the hard choices are looming closer. If we don’t want this Covid crisis to last forever, we need some new simple guidelines: No jab, no job; no jab, no access to NHS healthcare; no jab, no state education for your kids. No jab, no access to pubs, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, stadiums. No jab, no entry to the UK, and much else”.
He concluded with:
“As I say, with rare exceptions of genuine medical justification, everyone who refuses a vaccine could be a killer on the loose, and should be judged accordingly”.
But what is very interesting is that a finger of blame is pointed at these people. As if they are going to jeopardise the revoltingly named “Freedom Day” on June 21st, when all the remaining lockdown restrictions are apparently due to be lifted.
The MRNA has already been prioritised to the vulnerable. Immunity levels have surged and roughly 70 per-cent of Brits are estimated to have antibodies to Covid. And has everyone just forgotten that Matt Hancock said in January that he would personally 'cry freedom' once the most vulnerable were jabbed?
It just seems like many players in the press are exhaustedly fuelling a nonsense moral panic to support the government, who in turn is supporting a global multi billion dollar pharmaceutical campaign.
Being part of the big group feels good and being outside of it feels bad, especially in an age of social media and virtue signalling. So the government/news industry/drug company marketing departments have repackaged an old rage towards autism/measles anti-vaxxers (like Andrew Wakefield/Jennifer McCarthy) to aggressively flog MRNA treatments.
Many have a nice ready-made personality of “look everyone, I’m not an anti-vax, I don’t understand the science but I trust all the experts, look at all the dangerous anti-vaxxers, aren’t I so clever, I’m such a good person”. So it’s quite clever really.
But nothing good has come out of othering those as “unclean”.
When the Belgian colonists arrived in Rwanda in 1916, they produced identity cards classifying people according to their ethnicity. The Belgians considered the Tutsis to be superior to the Hutus and for the next 20 years they enjoyed better jobs and educational opportunities than their neighbours.
The resentment grew leading to a 100 day genocide in 1994. Radio broadcasts played an important role. DJs incited ordinary citizens to take part in the massacres of their Tutsi and moderate Hutu, neighbours. Major radio stations transmitted hate propaganda to the illiterate masses. They would issue directives on how and where to kill Tutsis, men, women and children, and congratulate those who had already taken part, even offering food and money to do so.
There are some who will say it is crass to look at the Tutsis and Hutus genocide as a historical reference. But the more we learn about history, the more we realise we learn nothing about history. This extreme othering is ushering the beginning of a new sinister, unprecedented chapter in the UK. Exactly how those will be “judged accordingly” come the cold season after being whipped up for months with the use of menacing language remains to be seen.
To conclude, here is a quote from Crome Yellow by the Brave New World author Aldous Huxley that explains why so many are perhaps happily cheering on this demonic psychological terrorism.
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favour of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behaviour 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
