Vaccine passport thread:

Digital Vaccine passports are feverishly being developed by a group of big tech companies, the World Economic Forum, and the Rockefeller Foundation aimed at making vaccination status a prerequisite for travel and access to basic services.⬇️

Please read.

 The Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI).

While we all agree that society and the economy must be reopened immediately, the powers that be intent on building a system in which only the vaccinated will be allowed to re-engage in society.

Let me tell you why this is wrong and dangerous:
If you only allow the vaccinated to re-engage in society, you are effectively coercing people into taking the vaccine through extortion, because If only the vaccinated can have their freedom back, you leave people with no choice but to vaccinate.
The bedrock of medical ethics is the principle of informed and voluntary consent with regard to medical treatments.
The World Medical Association (WMA) Int. Code of Medical Ethics states: “A physician shall: respect a competent patient’s right to accept or refuse treatment.”
Decisions about medical treatments like vaccination must always be based on the principle of voluntary consent and must not be coerced. There must not be any conditions attached.
According to Article 6 of The UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics & Human Rights, you have the right to say ‘NO’ to vaccination without retribution. It states:
“The consent should, where appropriate, be expressed and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.”
The choice to vaccinate is no longer voluntary because there are threats of retributions (restrictions to liberty), such as limiting your human right to travel and freedom of movement if you don’t vaccinate.

Coerced consent is not consent.
The consent to vaccinate is not voluntary if refusing it your freedoms are limited as punishment.

This is medical extortion and tyranny.

"Vaccinate or lose your right to travel."

"Vaccinate or you will be excluded from society."

What kind of choice is this?
The very idea of a Vaccine Passport and the requirement of vaccination for traveling is a dangerous concept with chilling parallels to the late 1930s Germany and the branding of Jew with yellow star badges restricting their movements and excluding them from areas/shops.
Like the badges for the Jews, the Passport serves to divide people into two distinct groups; The vaccinated and the unvaccinated and mark the latter as outsiders. The non (science) believers and the ‘anti-vaxxers’.
This is discrimination of the highest order resulting in a two-tier society in which people are discriminated against based on their medical records. A segregation of people into second class citizens who can’t travel and who become ostracized from society.
The vaccine passports create a new distinction between individuals based on their health status and pose high risks in terms of social cohesion, discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization.
The resulting two-tier society in which some of us have access to freedoms and support while others are shut out and blocked from essential public service, work, and housing is frightening. Bureaucrats determining the degree of freedoms and rights we may enjoy.
The Covid passport is meant to allow those who have taken the Covid shot greater freedoms than those who have not, but the vaccine passports make no sense if the Covid vaccine does not stop you from spreading the virus.
At present, we do not know if the vaccines stop people from carrying and transmitting the virus.
If none of the vaccines prevent transmission, then the whole notion of vaccine passports makes no sense.
This point has been acknowledged by the WHO recently claiming to be against vaccine passports as a condition for travel 'for the time being':

"There are still too many fundamental unknowns in terms of the effectiveness of vaccines in reducing (virus) transmission.”

The vaccine passport at the end of the day is a tactic to extort people into vaccinating and they are using your freedoms as a bargaining tool, in a game where they will only be returned in exchange for vaccinating.
Where does it stop? The vaccine passport system has been designed in response to Covid, but which other vaccines could become a requirement to engage in society?
When will your freedoms again be used as a bargaining tool to make you accept other vaccines? Once the system is in place, vaccine after vaccine could be added to the list of requirements to travel.
Personally, if a negative Covid test was a requirement for travel that would be an acceptable compromise that I would not object to.
My last point is conditional on a more reliable and less invasive test becoming available.

Pretending that voting for Trump or denying climate change or suggesting the solution to every problem is more guns is a legitimate point of view, worthy of respect is not "how America works." It is how it dies.

People in a free society are entitled to any point of view no matter how obviously wrong or outlandish or destructive provided they do not impose their views on others.

But suggesting that something ignorant or divorced from reality warrants the same kind of treatment in public debate as something based in fact or at least credible is absurd and when done on behalf of a society in public media or academic settings it is self-destructive.

We would not grant media coverage or much bandwidth at all to a group that argued that unicorns exist or that there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet views like denying climate change or basing policy decisions on sweeping, obvious lies, are just as unsound.

Somewhere, somehow, judgments must be made. Some behaviors are wrong and must be condemned. Someone must challenge lies and demand facts. Coddling people who embrace idiocies does not help them no matter how loudly they demand to be coddled.

I get asked for writing tips a lot. Of all the ones I’ve given, here are a few of the ones that seem to hold true and remain somewhat universal or at least mostly unobjectionable:

#amwriting #writingtips

1. If you are a fast writer (i.e., if you compose first drafts very quickly) then you absolutely must become a slow editor. Much of what I call “writing” is really, for me, editing.

2. If you don’t read you cannot write a lot or well. Sure, maybe you can read like a maniac for a decade and then read less after that, but without some large volume of intake, there will never be a meaningful output.

2.1 I sometimes say that I feel like writing without reading is like trying to run a marathan on a cracker. And sadly I see many students struggling to write when they have simply never read enough to fuel that demand of the task at hand.

3. All writing is writing if one decides to treat it that way. If one takes some degree of intentional will when sending emails, posting on social media and writing notes and marginalia, then all of that can count as meaningful daily writing.

THE EVOLUTION OF OUR NATIONAL FLAG (1857-1947)

The INDIAN NATIONAL FLAG is not just a flag! It's a testimony of patriotism and seamless sacrifice. A symbol representing one of the oldest civilizations on this planet.

Let's hope what happened yesterday never repeats!

(Thread)


After the revolt of 1857, the first Indian flag was designed. The design was based on western heraldic standards with "Union Jack" in the upper-left quadrant and a "Star of India" enclosed in the royal crown in the middle of the right half.(1)


The flag was a symbol of the direct imperial rule in India.(2)

In 1904 the first Indian flag which stood for India's independence from the British was devised. The design was provided by sister Nivedita, an Irish disciple of Swami Vivekananda.(3)


The flag was red and yellow with an image 'Vajra' (weapon of god Indra). The phrase 'Vande Mataram' was written in Bengali on it. The red colour and the yellow colour signified freedom and victory while the symbol of vajra stood for strength.(4)

If there is one thing I have learned it is that people love bullshit. They buy bullshit stories from professional bullshit artists, accept bullshit philosophies, purchase bullshit how-to-books, vote for bullshitting politicians.

At first, I resisted believing this because it is illogical and dumb and frankly, doesn't reflect well on the human race of which I am a member (and thus have long been hopeful that it is more of a distinction than it actually turns out to be.)

But if you actually are interested in facts you begin to notice how little most people care for them. Sometimes it is because they are heard to learn and bullshit is so much more widely and easily available. Sometimes it is because facts make them uncomfortable about themselves.

Sometimes it is because just one tiny fact will upset a whole worldview that has grown as comfortable as an overstuffed chair. (Settling into such worldviews is a lot like settling into chairs like that because the longer you're there and the deeper you sink...

...the harder it is to hoist yourself up and out of your fat-assed intellectual laziness.) But I actually think the reason people have such an appetite for bullshit goes deeper, goes to an aspect of ourselves we just can't accept.
