Picture of the Day: Vaccine Pass Protest
A parent holds her child as protestors stage a rally at the government complex in Sejong, central South Korea, on Dec. 9, 2021, to demand the government withdraw its plan to expand the COVID-19 vaccine pass system to teenagers. The system requires them to present COVID-19 vaccination or negative test certificates at multiuse facilities, including public study rooms and cram schools, a measure that critics say amounts to forcing people to get vaccinated.

As I am in favor of freedom of choice, I support those opposing a vaccine passport for youth and children. At the very least, this is something their parents ought to decide.
I also oppose vaccine mandates for adults. Some people have medical, religious, and/or philosophical objections.
Similarly, I support those who want a booster shot as often as every three weeks being able to get one.
Call it a scientific experiment. We’ll see which group is healthier next June.
Since the infection rates between vaxxed and unvaxxed are not clearly labelled in published reports, I think we need more actual metrics (i.e., evidence) before making creating new rules.
The reason you can’t get a nice clear report of all the statistics you need to make an solid opinion and give informed consent is because they do not support the claims that the vaccine is “safe and effective”.
It is clearly not effective. It cannot be hidden that the vaccinated are infected, hospitalized, and dying. We are led to believe it is at lower rates than the unvaccinated. We are given some statistics to prove this. We are denied statistics to verify this. It is unclear if we can believe the statistics we are given because they are oddly inconsistent throughout the world. Whatever the statistics say, it is now considered to be “unvaccinated” until you have taken a third shot in a “two-shot and life returns to normal” regiment. None of this demonstrates an “effective” vaccine.
It is unclear if it is safe. All statistics released always leave out the numbers necessary to determine this. We do know, unrelated to covid and vaccine statistics, heart issues and mortality is up. This is laughably being explained away as pandemic stress. There is also a propaganda campaign to normalize heart problems. Rationalizations and indoctrination are not necessary if the statistics support the claim.
Despite being out for about a year, there is now a push to mass-inject children who have a zero chance of harm from covid. The official plan is to test this experimental treatment (that hasn’t existed long enough to collect long-term data on a sample of high-risk children) on ALL children. Many people are OK with this. Many are enthusiastic.
If you want the vaccine for you and your children, please do it. Please get frequent boosters.
But don’t demand everyone else get what you want.
