To those of us who have not had the vaccine and are not allowed in such places, it means a lot to us when the SARS-vaccinated refuse to patronize such places. Thank you.

Thank you, Ed. In the coming months, vaccinated individuals that fight for the rights of the unvaccinated are going to be a crucial factor to how this battle ends.

Like Sophia also commented, I appreciate you! I have come to believe that two very sincere people can honestly disagree on whether or not the vaccine is in the best interest of society; however, it becomes a matter of good and evil to support discrimination based on sincerely made healthcare choices.

i believe vaccines are risky, they have not been tested enough, the efficacy is obvious failing.

the idea of forcing a vaccine, if it worked it would not benefit society to force it, reminds me of tuskegee syphilis tests and naxzi and japanese forced medicine......

i am free, i am not giving up freedom for some frightened person thinking i should be forced to save them.

i am >70 my initial view on vaxxes, remains i am not going to endure the long term effects for that long. that idae is not so for someone under 50!!!

Me too. Sadly I am living in the totalitarian state of the UK (it's slowly improving but could be plunged back into the abyss at the flick of a minister's pen) instead of somewhere free like Florida or Texas. I have incredibly reluctantly had to have the second (AZ) jab (I was coerced into the first one with a complete absence of informed consent) because after holding out for months I can no longer avoid international travel & most of Europe (and the US for that matter) demand vaccination. I am beyond furious. I won't be having any boosters (especially not with the mRNA vaccines which my idiot government will offer me as a 50 year old) so my ability to travel internationally may yet cease.

I appear to have been able to help myself protect against the vaccine spike protein side effects by taking a plethora of supplements - vitamin D, Zinc, Quercetin, Lycine, pine needle tincture, dandelion root tincture, zeolite. No side effects whatsoever I just hope that continues.

what do you mean "demand vaccination"? To fly? I don't think so. Not to US. Negative PCR test, yes. Fly....no. Let alone the fact that vaccinated people can still carry the virus and spread it and get sick and die.... Ho hum...

We've (UK residents) have not been able to travel to the US since March 2020, they've just changed it & now we can - but we have to be fully vaccinated!

This has hugely harmed UK residents with US based family members (especially old/frail ones) & it's been bad for businesses needing face to face meetings.

wow. That sucks! How do you prove your vaccinated? In US, there has to be tons of fraud out there for vaccine cards. WHo made this decision on must be vaccinated if flying from UK? Is that the US decision or UK decision? Why would US single out UK and nowhere else? Like China?

Expand full comment

You have to prove it through an NHS (UK health system) app (which you can only use by providing multiple official identity documents + a video which the UK government are merrily providing to a private company harvesting facial recognition - huge privacy issues) an encrypted OCR code or a watermarked NHS official letter - if the US federal government will accept the latter and that remains to be seen. Both app & letter hugely difficult to forge. And you still have to get tested & provide contact tracing info.

The last 18 months US travel ban also applied to lot of European countries (29 or so) China, India, Iran, Brazil, South Africa.

Why did the US do this to all these countries but not immigrants coming over the border from Mexico, or from Afghanistan? God knows.

Precisely, the media HAVE done their job. In the basic sense, the media's entire business model is based on promotion of fear, outrage and virtue signalling in order to drive up readership, viewership. Online, this drives up ad rates by Google AdSense. the more fear. the more outrage, the more virtue you can signal out (my team better than your team, see?) the more clicks. Google says your page is worth more money. Voila, your ad revenue goes up.

LOL, I love cats. Humour aside, our federal government appears to be beholden to others (hint, NOT Canadian citizens). I find it astounding that the same people who pontificated and preached, "My body, my choice," are gleefully throwing those of us who are abstaining from the injections, under the proverbial bus. Our PM campaigned with the message that the unvaxxed are putting "your" children at risk. How dare they, he pontificated from his pulpit (whilst wearing a college varsity jacket, in case some of us realized his cool factor was past its best before date). We are clearly living in a dangerous world (cue music). As my fellow Canucks appear to be largely asleep at the switch, I will hypothesize it is due to their naive trust in government. It is something to do with our lack of proximity to war and strife. The Europeans appear more in tune with the world-view that the government is not always/often/ever here "to help."

In Ontario, we are now second class. I don't need to go to a gym, eat at a restaurant, or go to a Blue Jays game (they traded away my favourites a few years ago). But, I fear if more do not speak up, there will be more restrictions. And come January, I might be out of a job and my daughter will be restricted with her practicum. My daughter works part-time at a business supply store. She spent two shifts copying vaccine receipts and laminating them. There was a line-up.

We are those people who wash our mayonnaise jars before we recycle and apologize to ugly spiders we must squash. I also accidentally tore a "do not remove this tag" from a blanket yesterday, and momentarily panicked. Yet here we are.

The goal is to make the US the last holdout in the Anglosphere for common sense. The problem is Trudeau won, so Canadians love him and the opposition there apparently is weak. I know nothing about them. But Biden was elected to beat Covid and Trump said, yeah, with more lockdowns, and Biden said he would not do that. So the next best thing for him to do is vaccine mandates. Only, we have states rights, so more than half the states in the country says no. Worse for Biden, and the diversity fascists of Canada, Australia, NZ and brimming in the UK, is that Biden has an election next year in the House and Senate. Presidents always lose the House if their party controls it, and his controls it by a small margin. Mail in ballot bafoonery will not work. Too many people running. BUT, if Dems remain in control of House AND Senate, then the American people would have voted to be more like Australia and Caanda, even tho the majority of those who voted don't know what Australia and Canada are doing. Those of us who do, will suffer. The only way to end it, is for Canadians and Australians to keep going after their authorities. It seems, as one commenter posted here, that Canadians, at least, support these measures hoping to "save the world"f rom Covid. Wait til Covid is "gone". Theyll do the same to save the planet from climate change. When that gets old. Save it from the aliens that only the government and some blue check marks on Twitter can see through their telescopes while the rest of us plebs simply see the moon, and the stars and a few airplanes over head. You get the idea. Fight back, or lose.

With all due respect, he didn't quite "win," and the majority of Canadians don't love him. Our electoral system is broken. We have too many parties, for starters. We need a ranked ballot or other alternative to the first-past-the-post systems we have. Trudeau did not win the popular vote and as far as I know, is still in minority status. I'm not sure the official tally has been made yet. The MSM seems strangely quiet on this front. That's when I can stomach venturing "over there" to see what is happening in MSM propaganda-land.

Trudeau promised this electoral reform in 2015. I had joined the "party" in 2014 to do what I could to promote this. By 2017, I'd quit. Too many scandals and broken promises.

The conservatives, the only real opposition in terms of forming government, are weak as you mention. But again, that goes back to the broken system. There are too many people in vote-rich areas who they try to "court," leaving Canadians who are unhappy with how far left the country's gone, orphaned.

You are right; there are many Canadians who have swallowed the Kool-aid of political correctness and virtue-signalling. Part of it is intellectual laziness and part of it is vested interests. I also blame the CBC - the propaganda arm for the Liberals, funded by the taxpayers. It is long past its best before date.

The Left redefines every word eventually, and "human rights" is presently being redefined to mean "things that favor the common good" (as they understand it).... it has absolutely nothing to do, in their mind, with any sort of individual right to dissent from the state or majority. That ACLU "actually forced injections are pro-liberty" editorial is a perfect example of this.

Hi Gato and Gato pals,

My country of Lithuania is - sadly - even more strict than this right now. I made a video (link at bottom) showing the sad reality.

Lithuania is the first European country to have a fully-encforced Covid Pass regime across all of society. Other countries are fast imposing their own regimes, though, so they will catch up soon - within 2-6 weeks in many EU countries - if it's not stopped *immediately*.

I've left two messages here on this Gato substack about it; from that, many people here have read an article I wrote about Lithuania's Covid Pass regime. Lots of you have mailed me or messaged me here with support. Thanks!

I now made a quick video of just over a minute which shows life here, where you have to scan your Covid Pass at the entrance of every shopping center, mall, big store, restaurant, and pretty much every other public place.

Please take a look; I think you'll find it eye-opening to see the future that faces other countries which continue down the path of the Covid Pass, like Ontario.... and the US, the UK, and Europe.

I also made a Twitter thread. Sadly, it was blocked after a few hours. But it was archived on a thread unroll before it was blocked.

The video, thread, and article have now been shared many times.

If you find the video, thread, or any of the tweets valuable, please share: quote tweet it, retweet, follow me, send the link to people, etc.

Feel free to link to the information here or use it in any way you want. I don't care about credit or recognition; I just want to spread the information.

Thanks for your help!

I live in this pseudo-socialist banana republic and have spent significant amounts of time in both the US and Canada. Did my post secondary education and a significant number of years working/living in US prior to returning to Canada. We are quite similar but different on many frontS. 1. The US fought for their freedom, Canada’s was granted by its colonists. 2. US have the most wonderful document ever created next to the Bible, called the US Constitution and Canada have The Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms or as my employment lawyer refers to it, “The Canadian Charter of Rights & Wrongs” 3. US have the 2nd Ammendment and Canada do not (current gov looking to round up many types of firearms deemed illegal while murder rates in cities skyrocket). 4. We have more of a collectivist & government reliant culture while US champions individual rights and freedoms. 5. US government has 3 defined branches of government with significant checks and balances while Canada is a parliamentary system. There are many other factors not the least of which is a corporate and state media complex that has been bailed out multiple times and are essentially government stenographers. Canada was once the most respected Country in the world when governed by Stephen Harper’s Conservative party. Harper was the antithesis of Prime Minister Blackface. A policy wonk and economist who led a conservative populist party born in Alberta essentially took over the Conservative party although it wasn’t presented that way to save face for conservatives. Harper was a serious leader and his leadership and commitment to less government red tape while unshackling entrepreneurs. In short, he was smart, professional, had strong foreign policy which means he understood Canada’s limitations on the world stage but also let his peers know Canada were not pushovers. Contrast this with our current dullard leader who was a trust fund kid, snowboard instructor, and substitute drama teacher and it is not hard to understand why Canada are at the bottom of every economic/ productivity category from OECD. We are the most heavily indebted nation in G7 when totalling all debt (fed/prov/Corp/personal)/GDP and on the verge of a recession after -1.3% contraction last qtr. and also experiencing a ramp in inflation & a way overheated housing market. We are ripe for the picking right now - A proletariat that is reliant on government handouts and even worse quite trusting of government. Sprinkle on extreme levels of fear and propaganda that bordered on stuff from a B horror movie and continued government handouts and you have a nation of zombies. There is a growing group of folks who got their shots because they were told their lives would get back to normal. Well now many of these folks understand that our lords pulled the rug out from under them, they are spitting mad. Many are withdrawing their discretionary dollars from the service economy to stand with their unvaxxed citizens. Going to be a really tough winter. I work in wealth management and my employer may put those of us unvaxxed on unpaid leave which is the strategy of choice by large employers. Not waiting for big brother to tell me what my future is. Looking at a few options. Also starting to think about how a parallel economy might start and how I would participate. We all need to think one move ahead of our rulers. I fully expect hospitals/clinics to refuse care to unvaxxed so I am hoping fired nurses and Mds offer healthcare services. Alas, Canada is on its way to a failed state. Feds here are all about WEF/UN initiatives and are doing whatever they can to strip away what little culture we have. They are handing us over to the WEF ghouls. I am afraid for my children’s future

They wouldn't have to struggle so much if they just told the truth. Masks are worse than useless. The vaccines don't work and might be dangerous. We don't recommend them.

The CDC just published another pro-mask study. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7039e1.htm

In examining correlations, the authors packed nearly all of the "case rate in school zip code" data into one range (>100) so I'm guessing that variable, rather than masks, explains the school outbreaks.

Expand full comment

I don't need a study to understand that wearing a mask all day is uncomfortable for a whole host of reasons. That it may cause bacterial infections. That it cuts down on verbal and non verbal communication. That all of that is especially true for children. That when our betters make these determinations for us and our kids, they give zero consideration to any of this or to the long-term effects it has on a child's development and on society as a whole. I'd say all of this is stupid, but really we're way beyond that. It's unconscionable. It's evil. And it needs to end.

I'm with you, but people will take the CDC study at face value and say that intentionally spreading COVID is evil. Nobody remembers last year's stoked-by-the-CDC panic about transmission from playground surfaces or outdoor masking.

Every tinpot dictator is being given carte blanche to be as bad as they like because of this sort of thing. They will simply declare a “public health emergency” and then the sky is the limit … How can these organizations be so stunningly short sited. Now when the Taliban or the Saudi's stone women to death for accusations of adultery, they will just shrug and say … it protects the public health, HIV/AIDS is still a genuine concern and stoning adulterers discourages unsafe sex practices.

Ahh, sort of like how the ACLU says "far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties"

I've fine-tuned my argument to the supporters of vax mandates:

me: "OK, so you believe society is better off with everyone vaccinated. You believe this so strongly that you think the unvaxxed should be punished in some way or have their freedoms restricted. Where do you draw the line? Is your belief that the threat to society is so great by unvaxxed that they deserve to lose their livelihood, and possibly the ability to feed their families?"

I haven't changed anyone's mind yet, alas, but my prayer is that they leave the conversation thinking more about where they actually WILL draw a line.

Perhaps you should tell the CDC Director...because she admitted...in early August...that the jabs don't stop infection with or transmission of the Delta variant and that the fully vaxxed and unvaxxed carry similar viral loads. You can still be infected or transmit. You can still become very ill, be hospitalized, and die.

They aren't rolling our a 3rd dose because the 1st and 2nd worked too well.

And, fyi, the Delta variant arose in India in December of 2020. And, oddly, it didn't started spreading like wildfire around the globe until they started mass vaccinations. Hmmmm.

It's stupid people like you, Amagnono, who are a threat.
