Italian Govt Strips Unvaccinated of Freedoms over Christmas Holidays
Breitbart ^ | 12/06/2021 | Staff

Italy is making life more uncomfortable for unvaccinated people this holiday season, excluding them from indoor restaurants, theatres, and museums starting Monday to reduce the spread of coronavirus and encourage vaccine sceptics to get their shots.

Italian police have been empowered to check whether diners in restaurants or bars have a “super” green health pass certifying that they are either vaccinated or have recently recovered from the virus. Smart phone applications that verify people’s health pass status have been updated to prevent entry to concerts, movies or performances to those who have merely tested negative in recent days. The measures run through Jan. 15.

Authorities also imposed a requirement that at least “basic” health pass, which can be obtained with a negative test, must be used to get on local transport and to check into hotels.

In the capital, Rome, dozens of police were out at transportation hubs checking both green passes and personal identification, finding a cooperative mood among commuters. Still, a 50-year-old Roman became the first to receive a 400-euro ($450) fine after getting off the bus at the northern Flaminio station without the “basic” health pass, said Stefano Napoli, deputy chief of Rome’s municipal police force...

So-called “democracies” around the world have proven during these last two years of COVID-1984 just how authoritarian their leaders really are. They censor, compel, threaten, intimidate, and dole out physical and emotional punishments in as arbitrary and terrifying a manner as any mad king.

Then the thuggish little tyrants playing Mussolini while raging against fascism run to the video cameras and boast of the joys of “democracy” and the threats of authoritarianism emanating from Russia and China.

No matter how absurd the State’s “politically correct” declarations, disagreement is now routinely labeled fascist.

If you disagree with the lie that boys can be girls, you’re a fascist!

If you think killing the economy to change the weather is insane, you’re a fascist!

Paradoxically, the only way not to be a fascist is to abide by everything the State decrees.

The same Italian government who greatly over reported china flu deaths wants everyone to believe there isn’t a huge scam going on.

When this doesn’t work, will they acknowledge it or double down on stupidity?

Another excerpt from the link above...

This may come as a shock to some, but it’s Big Pharma that drives the narrative and sets the agenda for the “experts” at the CDC, FDA, WHO, NIH, NIAID, and even non-medical government organizations.

Most believe it’s the other way around. They think that Big Pharma is beholden to the FDA for approval, but that’s not exactly the case.

They need approval for a majority of their projects, but when it comes to the important ones such as the Covid injections, Big Pharma is calling the shots.

They have the right people in the right places to push their machinations forward.

And as always, government will always find a way to monetize a crises. Too many dissenters to arrest without causing riots so the government just issues tickets which is the same thing as a tax (vax tax).

Wonder what would/will happen if everybody refuses to pay their tickets? It would be the same problem as before, too many to arrest.

This isn’t insanity.

It’s evil.

And it will continue until people stop complying.

Last time I checked (about three weeks ago), Italy had a 72% vaccination rate, so it's probably a bit higher by now. If you add in natural immunity from prior infection, overall immunity should be 85-90%, if not higher. But herd immunity does not seem to be happening either in Italy or in many (most) other high-vaccination countries. Infections are now as high or higher (sometimes double or more) than when no one was vaccinated.

In some places, deaths are much lower than before, in other places they are similar or even a little higher. I don't know why these differences exist.

All I know is that widespread vaccination has not sustained herd immunity, and it was supposed to. Blaming the unvaccinated for the ongoing problems does not seem a tenable explanation for what we are seeing.

My cousin is a minister in Italy, and I’m going to email him to see how bad this truly is. He and his wife just returned there after being in the states for a couple months, and both had Covid here. All of his children and grandchildren live near him there in Italy, and all refuse the “vaccine”.

"When this doesn’t work, will they acknowledge it or double down on stupidity?"

They already are, and as their policies continue to fail, I expect more severe demonization of the unvaccinated, such as we are seeing in in Italy and - even worse - Austria, where the unvaccinated are soon to be treated as the worst of criminals: fined, jailed, and forced to pay for their own imprisonment.

Remember Kissinger’s reference to useless eaters in the 70s? We are facing and insurmountable underfunded liability crisis. Vaccines are the solution…

"Paradoxically, the only way not to be a fascist is to abide by everything the State decrees."

In other words, according to the fascist left, the only way to avoid being a fascist is to join the fascists.

The unvaccinated of Europe are becoming the equivalent of 1930’s Jews.

Article's a bit misleading in the sense that it paints a picture of a sudden, draconian crackdown in progress.

I live in Italy, Sicily, to be exact. Most of Italy's in the "White Zone" right now though some areas have rising infection rates which could eventually trigger the greater restrictions.

To be honest, restrictions in Italy; checking of passes, is spotty in most places and totally nonexistent in a lot of others.

As usual, the big cities up north are where most of the totalitarian scumbags try flexing their muscle but even there they are often met with resistance and derision. In the South, and especially in Sicily, street enforcement is a joke. I still meet friends for a bite or a drink in several of the eateries here and no one's checking shit and very few are wearing masks in them. One of my favorite restaurants here has taken an active, vocal approach against the rule that only people with "Green Passes" can dine inside a restaurant. They've announced that everyone's allowed inside to eat and they will never check any pass. So far, no one's showed up to try shutting them down. I sense that should someone try they would be run right out of town after getting beaten to a pulp.

We've had enough of the useless, stupid, incompetent, lying and cheating beauracrats' and politicians' covid bullshit here. Yeah, as everywhere, there are Covidians in my town but they're seriously outnumbered by folks just living life.

On a related issue, unlike American and other cops, Southern Italian cops are very, very unwilling to crack the heads or bust the balls of their fellow citizens. They just don't do it unless they absolutely must and then those being pummeled will almost always be criminals and assorted lowlifes.

It is not stupidity, on the surface it seems so. It is about control.

All these restrictions worldwide have nothing to do with the virus and everything to do with government bureaucrats being able to tell you what medicine you must take, whether you can go to worship services and how many people can go, if you can open your business, where you can travel, track your movement and who you associate with (contact tracing), whether you must show your papers, if you are allowed to eat out, etc.

Then it will be required to carry a smart phone at all times so you can be traced. The vaccine passports will begin with your first covid vaccination, then your first, second, tenth booster shots, then your medical history, next your social credit score, etc.

None of this is about that little virus, never has been. Are we to believe the elites who can go about maskless really care about the little people of flyover country?

Now that Kissinger is himself in his '90s, I wonder if he still thinks of the elderly as useless eaters?
