Months ago people understood 'bodily autonomy' as a fundamental, unquestionable human right. Now it is being treated as some kind of perverse libertarian luxury
Hiya Jonathan, I am looking back on your articles on 'covid' for the first time. The left (and climate scientists) made, and continue to make, absolute dicks of themselves over the experimental jabs.
From the beginning I did not have a political objection to them, but a scientific one.
The measures for a bad flu were obviously to make us take a horrible vaccine.
I have since looked into the evidence for all vaccines. You'll be surprised Jonathan: it's extremely shaky. I recommend dissolving illusions by Susan Humphries until then lets look at smallpox if you're interested in investigating https://jowaller.substack.com/p/lets-hope-the-monkey-pox-nonsense
I still cannot believe that my home is no longer on the left. Of course, moving house intellectually or living in the dessert for a while can be refreshing, after the initial shock. Nice to have Cook's analysis as company...
"The only freedom which counts is the freedom to do what some other people think to be wrong. There is no point in demanding freedom to do that which all will applaud. All the so-called liberties or rights are things which have to be asserted against others who claim that if such things are to be allowed their own rights are infringed or their own liberties threatened. This is always true, even when we speak of the freedom to worship, of the right of free speech or association, or of public assembly. If we are to allow freedoms at all there will constantly be complaints that either the liberty itself or the way in which it is exercised is being abused, and, if it is a genuine freedom, these complaints will often be justified. There is no way of having a free society in which there is not abuse. Abuse is the very hallmark of liberty."
I'm a big fan of this blog. But this one doesn't seem valid to me at all. What on earth is "the left"? And is "the right" in vax sceptical? Is being pro-vax a leftist ideology? I think the point is well made if you change "the left" to "Western establishment".
