Was the General Public a Willing Participant in Covid Discrimination?
Should they be allowed to move on without reflection?
Discussion with Dr Christian Buckland (Psychotherapist) and Jane Gunn (Professional Mediator) on the responsibility of the public in executing on covid mandates.
Why were they so happy to comply?
My Highlights
Sadly, the majority of people succumbed to the measures out of fear, a lack of unbiased and objective information, and questionable trust in long-standing institutions.
In this context, as long as most people perceive benefits from the government narrative, everything will be done to protect the illusion of the effectiveness of the ill-advised health measures.
The only way out of this conundrum is through our constitutionally protected freedom of speech, wherein widely held beliefs, thoughts, and opinions are respected, and likewise, conversations, debates, and dissenting voices are heard. This should be particularly true in the scientific and medical professions.
What is surprising is how easily Canadians and their courts accepted coercive government actions in pursuit of getting every person injected with the same substance, regardless of a person‘s medical history or risk for serious disease from COVID-19. The hard-won principle of “my body, my choice,“ gained by feminists after years of fighting for the rights of women to control their own bodies, vanished during the second year of the pandemic
Witness after witness took the NCI stand and proclaimed, “I am not an anti-vaxxer,“ at the same time as refusing to take a COVID-19 vaccine. Why did they feel the need to make such a proclamation?
Workplace mandates caused many to accept a COVID-19 vaccine who didn‘t want one. People who supported their families simply couldn‘t afford to lose their jobs. The NCI heard from many witnesses that they or a loved one felt compelled to take the injection, under the threat of losing their livelihood. This does not
resemble freely given consent.
Testimony indicated that when a worker refused to take the mandated vaccines, they were dismissed either for cause or for, in many instances, insubordination. Many were put on extended indefinite leave without pay, and were thus denied the ability to receive employment insurance benefits.

In April of 2020 I was offered resignation or unpaid leave for speaking out against inadequate PPE, cleaning products, and over the counter treatments, including natural products, supplements, and vitamins. I also spoke out about administration's hiding, from staff, our patient's objective data. I had an exemplary employee record of 6 years under my belt at the time. I took the unpaid leave and eventually resigned and went to registered nursing school 4 months later. I had already declined applying to medical school. Thank God.
As a disclaimer, I didn't watch the whole discussion, but I don't think we should overstate the guilt of the public. Yes, people can be eager to discriminate, but the scary stuff was what the governments orchestrated through their partners in business, academia, etc. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law both considered me to be a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist and a fool, but that was a small thing. What worried me was the possibility that our small business would be forced out of business (or forced to accept vaccination) if the vaccine mandates became a requirement of our liability or workers compensation insurance or the insurance of our customers. I also worried about the federal contractor mandate here in the US. Only a small number of our customers are federal, but I wondered if many of our non-federal customers had federal customers and we would somehow be caught in the net that way.
I don't care if people call me a fool or don't invite me to family gatherings. I don't blame normal people for this at all.
EDIT: I almost forgot about the lockdown. The demand for our small business's services disappeared almost overnight, and we were forced to suddenly layoff almost all our employees - people who had worked for us for 10 to 20 years and were kind of like friends. We eventually rehired most of them, but that was terrible. Government did that.
