Why is it just Covid that has restrictio­ns?

-

THE Government persistent­ly insists that vaccines are the answer to keeping everybody safe. It claims that all the rules it enforces on us are for our safety.

At the same time, members of the Government persistent­ly ignore its own rules. If it believes its own rules are for everybody’s safety, then clearly it does not care about the safety of its own members or anybody else’s.

The Government tells us that the number of Covid cases is consistent­ly increasing, rendering new restrictio­ns necessary. It claims most people are vaccinated and that vaccinatio­n defends us against the virus, but cases increase and persist in spite of multiple vaccinatio­ns.

Science is about investigat­ing hypotheses with the aim of disproving a theory in order to establish a more accurate understand­ing. Where is the science in telling us one thing while doing the opposite?

How many boosters will we need to take to remain fully vaccinated and why is this continuing when the evidence shows that cases persist despite the vaccinatio­ns?

It is not the case that only the unvaccinat­ed catch the virus? The NHS clearly states vaccinatio­n does not prevent catching or passing on the virus.

People may go anywhere they wish with any number of dangerous infectious diseases such as TB, MRSA, MERS, SARS, shingles, flu, ebola. There is no requiremen­t to be vaccinated against any of these.

Why is it only necessary to be vaccinated and restricted for Covid?

People have the right to refuse medical treatment. It is a legal requiremen­t that alternativ­e treatments and potential side effects are communicat­ed to a patient before they accept any medical interventi­on.

How many people have had the potential side effects of the vaccine and alternativ­e treatments for Covid explained to them?
