<\/center>The Washington Post said recently:\u00a0\u201cThe anti-vaccine movement is comparable to domestic terrorism, and must be treated that way\u201d<\/b>, while the\u00a0Guardian had this:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to shifting attitudes to vaccines, it is crucial to distinguish between public information campaigns that seek to educate the public and those that seek to persuade them,\u201d said Philipp Schmid, a behavioural scientist researching vaccine scepticism at the University of Erfurt. \u201c[..] if you don\u2019t proactively tackle the problem at all, you end up playing catch-up with the anti-vaxxers. In a way, governments have to work on a parallel vaccine rollout \u2013\u00a0immunising the public against science denial.\u201d<\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris said: \u201cit\u2019s very important for people to understand that at the moment, all we know about the vaccines is that they will very effectively reduce your risk of severe disease. We haven\u2019t seen any evidence yet indicating whether or not they stop transmission.\u201d And Dr. David Martin claimed:\u00a0It\u2019s Gene Therapy, Not a Vaccine<\/a>. One might add:\u00a0It\u2019s not science, it\u2019s a sales job<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t know exactly who the WaPo refers to when they say \u201cthe anti-vaccine movement\u201d, or that German guy with \u201cthe anti-vaxxers\u201d, but it appears there is a widespread movement going on to promote mRNA vaccines, both by governments and by the press. And we\u2019re not supposed to ask questions. Well, I\u2019m sorry, but I make a living asking questions. And I think asking questions is not just everybody\u2019s right, it\u2019s an obligation. So don\u2019t come at me with \u201cdomestic terrorism\u201d or \u201canti-vaxxers\u201d, a term that has nothing to do with the topic to begin with. Asking questions is not the same as being against something.<\/p>\n
