    A lot of innocent people are about to suffer so some idiots can learn what it means to say “Regulations and rules are written in blood”

    Kidding, of course. They won’t learn shit.

      Oh, new regulations will be written in blood 4 years from now. At least this time it will be the Americans themselves that will do the suffering first.

    Please do not post anything from The Independent or Evening Standard. It’s owned by Russians who could have links to KGB/FSB.

    Evgeny Lebedev is a shareholder of The Independent (41%) and Evening Standard (63%). He is a Russian oligarch, son of Alexander Lebedev who is, according to Wikipedia, a “Russian businessman, and has been referred to as one of the Russian oligarchs. Until 1992, he was an officer in the First Chief Directorate (Foreign Intelligence) of the Soviet Union′s KGB and later one of the KGB’s successor-agencies, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).” Alexander’s net worth is ~$3 billion.

    Alexander Lebedev was a member of the state Duma in 2003-2007, had connections with Gorbachev (Radio Liberty had an article on their website where they mentioned that Gorbachev awarded scientists from the toxicology laboratory where poisons are produced to kill “enemies of the people”, but I can’t find it now, so it can be false). He was recently sanctioned by Canada (under number 820; https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_relations-relations_internationales/sanctions/consolidated-consolide.aspx?lang=eng).

    At that moment future PM Boris Johnson was with Evgeny Lebedev at the party in Italian villa. Nobody knows what they exactly were doing there. And when Johnson was a PM, he nominated Lebedev for a peerage in 2020, giving him a seat in the Upper House for life at House of Lords.

    P.S.: Evgeny Lebedev was also an owner of London Live TV channel, it’s was closed on January 2025.

    P.S. #2: Evgeny Lebedev “maintained friendship with Boris Johnson since the late 2000s, with Lebedev’s Evening Standard endorsing Johnson as the Mayor of London. Johnson has been reported to have attended vodka and caviar parties hosted by Alexander and Evgeny Lebedev in the UK and Italy throughout the 2010s.”

    P.S. #3: That show with Brexit in United Kingdom was when Boris Johnson was a Prime Minister. Back then, there were advertising campaign on buses, like “we just giving away to EU 350 million pounds and they give us nothing”. It seems that was a lie.

    So we’re investing billions into new AI data centers to help develop custom vaccines for people to not use; did I miss anything?

      Yes, the true purpose of AI is to replace workers, not create vaccines. The creation of vaccines was a smoke screen to get the good philanthropists to invest.

      Which would go to show they don’t even know the basics of vaccines. Unless you give them to everyone, they will have very limited effectiveness.

      You either eradicate the virus or it will mutate in no time by the now huge (ces) pool of unvaccinated idiots

    Before you panic at the title, remember to read the article. It’s anti-vaccine mandates. You can still get your vaccine it seems. Until the king says otherwise.

      If 20 to 30% of the population decides they don’t want to get them anymore we are in deep shit dude. The nuance here isn’t helping

        I wouldn’t be surprised if we are already at the 20 - 30% on a lot of illnesses. I mean about half the country got the covid vaccine and children can already opt out of vaccinations at school with a doctor’s note.

          It’s opt-out vs. opt-in. It makes a difference. A lot of people will just do what’s easier.

          Yes on a lot - not even half the population get the flu shot - but the ones where it’s mandatory to go school or to have certain jobs has meant a lot of the key ones we have well over 90% vaccinated currently but sadly dropping.

            or to have certain jobs

            Well, donvict’s wrecking crew is working on that, too. They are reinstating military that opted out of vaccines.

            I’m sure it won’t end there.

          They don’t need a doctor’s note. They need a parent’s note saying they are against vaccination.

          I’m a notary for a municipality and at the beginning of the school year we get flooded with parent’s getting thise notes signed. Most businesses refuse to notarize that bullshit, but at the city we can’t refuse to notarize based on ethical grounds.

      Accuracy is important. But then again, it doesn’t make much difference.

      People are dumber than ever, and a lack of a mandate means herd immunity starts to fail because not enough people are vaccinated. At that point, people start saying, “Everyone’s still getting sick, vaccines must not work,” accelerating vaccine-skepticism and disease in a feedback loop.

      This simply won’t end here. RFK wanted vaccines pulled off the market. (He may put on a show during his confirmation and lie and pretend now he loves them though)

      Antivaxxers have spent the last 4 years claiming that vaccines cause people to “shed” vaccine particles or spike proteins. They’re blaming miscarriages, autism, and actual covid on this mythical shedding and some have tried to ban vaccinated people from businesses and homes. They’ll try to ban vaccines to stop this delusion.

      Still; they’ll spread enough bullshit so that stupid people will think that vaccines are not worth getting, which is nearly as bad as banning them outright when it comes to efficacy.

    We should be going straight to the point and helping it become more clear that vaccines are a thing these people actually do want. When they, as well as their opponents, claim that they don’t, it’s because they don’t understand the situation clearly enough.

    People who understand vaccines want vaccines.
