Worldwide COVID-19 Religious Restrictions

 It's not too late to stop being a tool of oppression

• Death rates are still above normal in many countries of the world. The medical experts don't know why.
• Due to the nature of coronaviruses, these limitations of Covid vaccinations were widely predicted by experts even in 2020, but they were ignored or vilified at the time
• The next key scientific issue to understand is that mass vaccination against Covid has likely caused a situation where those people who are more vulnerable to Covid are now less protected from their previous vaccinations
• For some vaccinations and diseases, mass vaccinations can drive viral evolution so that the virus evades the vaccines
• Vaccination-induced evolutionary pressure leads to a phenomenon called "vaccine escape"

Key Findings

• The report cites many, many cases where governments and organizations blamed religious groups for the spread of COVID-19. This was done without scientific data or evidence to back up these claims.
• Authorities in nearly a quarter of all the countries studied (46 out of 198, or 23%) used physical means, such as arrests and prison sentences, to enforce coronavirus-related restrictions on worship services and other religious gatherings.

What the PEW report does not elaborate on, is that these restrictions on religious freedoms were in part the consequence of a globalized effort by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and national Governments such as our own.

• The battle ahead is how to ensure that the right to practice religion, to gathers in groups, and to ensure free speech and sovereignty will require a herculean effort by all of us.

The abuses towards people who did not conform to the orthodoxy about Covid vaccines were significant

• Most of the arguments that the vaccine 'hesitant' were selfish and dangerous were actually corporate-profiteering memes implanted in the brains of people who didn't think critically
• Some people repeated these memes with added moral disdain and anger directed at friends, family, colleagues, neighbours or fellow humans on social media
• Others took up backchannels to try and persuade people with critical views that they were wrong

Summary

• If you followed the orthodoxy, you were scientifically misinformed in a way that served profits and power
• Probably undermined health outcomes specifically and generally
• Harmed relationships of all kinds and other people's emotional wellbeing
• Disrupted alliances and collaboration for meaningful social and political change
• Sowed the seeds of global authoritarianism
• Our desire to be smart, correct, and ethical is actually the way that we are most manipulated by mass media and authorities

How to start doing something about it

• Through meaningful apologies that can then begin a dialogue about how to engage better in future
• Examples
• If you were aggressive to someone about Covid, you have an opportunity to apologize for being both aggressive and scientifically wrong.
• You pressured someone who was not vulnerable to be vaccinated.
• This could be because you argued with someone on the finer points of science but didn't listen to the science that already cast doubt on your view.

Elon Musk has the receipts on the collusion between the US Government, WHO and Twitter

• He is in position to extract concessions in return for withholding data.
• Time will tell how committed he is to integrity and free speech, versus the business interests of his financial empire
