Our Government officials don’t seem to see how their mandates impact the supply of services to their citizens

Countries around the world are faced with lingering pockets of vaccine hesitancy, or outright refusal, and because of this many nations are imposing stricter rules and restrictions on unvaccinated people, effectively making their lives more difficult in an effort to convince them to get their inoculation.
In doing so, they are testing the boundary between public health and civil liberties, as well as heightening division and tension between those who are vaccinated and those who are not.
Now, things have moved to another level; world leaders are threatening their citizens who refuse to comply, and mainstream media seems to enjoy propagating this message. Let’s take a quick look at what is happening around the world, and the effects of this that are not being considered.
- Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton specifically said that the government will be discriminating in favour of those who are vaccinated, “The truth is if you take the time to protect yourself and others do not, then I believe you should enjoy more privileges and rights to certain activities over those who have decided not to do so.”
- Trinidad and Tobago have a Safe Zone Policy, which states that store owners, operators and patrons must be vaccinated. If they are caught in breech of this three times, they are fined $25,000 per breech, and if a patron breeches, they are fined $5,000 and the owner/operator will also be fined $25,000.
- Austria imposed Europe’s first lockdown for the unvaccinated and is scheduled to introduce mandatory shots from February 1st. They are also threatening to fine up to 3,600 euros for almost anyone over eighteen who refuses to take the inoculation.
- Germany has banned unvaccinated people from most areas of public life, and the country’s Health Minister, Karl Lauterbach, warned in December that: “without mandatory vaccination I do not see us managing further waves in the long term.”
- France’s President Emmanuel Macron last week told Le Parisien newspaper that he “really wants to piss off” the unvaccinated. “We’re going to keep doing it until the end,” he said. “This is the strategy.” In France, the vaccination pass is compulsory (with 3 doses) to be able to carry out everyday actions, such as taking your child to the doctor in the hospital.
- In Canada, if you lose your job because you are not vaccinated, you’re ineligible to receive employment insurance, which technically is yours and cannot be restricted or kept from you.
- Germany bans unvaccinated people from public and private facilities the government deems “unnecessary.”
- Quebec requires the COVID-19 vaccine to attend religious services.
In countries like Italy, France, Poland, New Zealand, Canada, and Ukraine, some public sector workers are required to be vaccinated, but problems have arose from these mandates, and I have some questions for us to think about:
What happens when there are not enough police available to protect citizens because the government requires vaccinations?
There will be more crime on the streets.
Or what happens when there are not enough fire fighters to put out fires?
More fires will endanger lives and homes.
Or what happens when children can’t go to school because there are not enough teachers in the classrooms?
Their learning will be hindered and the economy will suffer because parents can’t work.
Clearly, our world leaders don’t think about the consequences of their decisions…
Or they just don’t care.
Many countries are requiring health care workers to get vaccinated or lose their jobs at a time when we need MORE doctors and nurses – and then complain that the remaining health care staff are getting overrun.
Threatening health care workers who are fighting to help the sick because they refuse to comply with a government mandate that violates health freedom is the last thing we need.
That’s why it is so important to tell Prime Minister Trudeau to stop the vaccine mandates now!
World leaders are violating our personal liberty with vaccine mandates. They threaten fines, loss of employment and exile from society for those who refuse to comply.
Your signature will go a long way toward increasing the pressure to repeal current mandates and stop future decrees in Canada. CitizenGo has put together a petition that will help get citizens’ thoughts in front of our world leaders.
