The head of the European Union Commission says it's time to consider making vaccines mandatory
Insider ^ | 12/2/2021 | Matthew Loh

European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU should start discussing mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations, as the world steels itself for the threat of the newly-discovered Omicron coronavirus variant.

She noted that one-third of the EU population, or roughly 150 million people, had not been vaccinated yet.

Austria was the first country in the EU — and the first Western democracy — to announce mandatory vaccinations for its entire adult population on November 19. On Tuesday, Greece said it would impose monthly fines of $113 to seniors older than 60 who refuse to get vaccinated by mid-January.

Meanwhile, Germany's incoming chancellor Olaf Scholz has said he would consider introducing a vaccine mandate for all Germans by February.

On the other hand, UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the country "won't ever look at" compulsory vaccinations for the public, though it has required the jabs for healthcare workers.

Gee. Whatever happened to the Nuremburg Codes?

1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.

Instead of a dictatorial decree, just make HCQ/Ivermectin over the counter drugs and let people treat themselves after proper education in its use? Numerous eminent Medical Specialists have exposed the fraud about HCQ and Ivermectin. They work.

First, they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

The vaccines should be given first to those that need them and that are clamoring for them.

A 25-year old Belgian will almost certainly survive Covid but a 65-year old South African grandma might not.

If they keep this up, they could be facing an uprising and a guerrilla movement like in Guadeloupe.

This is one of many measures, many of them small, to “nudge” European nation states or member states, as they are still called, into a more federal union under the European Commission’s dominance. To think this is one single attempt would be to miss all the other machinations. This is not about citizens and their health, but rather citizens and their freedoms.

Since the vaccines don’t work and Ivermectin does work, why not require everyone to take Ivermectin?

Why not make vitamin D-3 supplements mandatory? They work better than the vaccine.
