For a long time, I have moaned about the increases to the cost of living brought about by the minimum wage. These increases drive me absolutely mad, because they always, with no exception, do more damage than good. People are lulled in because they are heralded as a solution to inflation, which could be more easily dealt with by reducing things like VAT, allowing more personal income before Tax and enforcing price drops in shops in tandem with a reduction of VAT and Corporation Tax.
So what does this mean for us economically?
So I look at my bank account every now and then. If I save 1000 pounds, that’s 1000 pounds I will have in my savings. If I spend it immediately, I will get 1000 pounds worth of value, however if the prices of everything will naturally go up along with the cost of living, which the minimum wage always bumps up much higher than any benefit gained, that means my savings will always deteriorate in value. Even if I am earning a larger number, I face higher percentages of my income being taxed across the board, from income tax to VAT, and this affects everyone, most of all people on or close to the minimum wage.
Inflation allows people to write off annoying debts much easier, as the real world value of the numbers you owe deteriorates the more inflation is pushed, and this is why the Government likes to create it, as well as using it to increase the total percentage of income paid in tax among other things. Basically it’s a giant trap, but I digress, and this is where Cryptocurrency comes in for me.
Cryptocurrency value increases and decreases based on massive varying factors, and an investment in it can either lead to riches or a complete loss of finances. Naturally, this both excites and terrifies me accordingly! Stagnancy can also follow, along with depression and despair however, the volatility allows for a massive chance to gain a lot of money, sometimes very quickly. My fingers itch with the prospects!
A lot of new currencies start off being super cheap and gain in value extraordinarily over time, sometimes creating millionaires in a matter of days. It only takes a small investment and a bit of luck and the results can be better than playing the lottery. Heck if I got lucky, I’d just cash out and be happy, get my family sorted and friends and call it a day. I’d also buy a sailing boat because I like sailing and cut my work nights down somewhat.
Crypto is a Risky Business!
As we have some altcoins that will deteriorate over time, and some ventures that will crash and burn, we have to accept every investment comes with risk. I started crypto trading a while back and I enjoy it. I’ve made a reasonable amount of money, not enough to quit my job or retire but through a little research and analysis, I’m doing reasonably. I have some crypto currencies I like, some I don’t and some that are pretty much just meh. I am invested currently in over 20 different cryptocurrencies, a large spread to increase my chances of getting lucky.
I’ve decided to accept cryptocurrency donations on my site because I enjoy the game and it will allow other people like me to support me in my weirdness in a different way.
Rules that have worked for me:
- Don’t Panic! At the start I used to panic sell, only to watch the Cryptocurrencies I’ve sold massively upscale in value costing me a lot of money.
- Remember this is an investment, invest only what you can afford to lose and don’t think of what you have in crypto as being your money. Once it’s in the system you can easily lose everything you put in, so losing the thought patterns and attachment to the money is key to keeping a cool head and avoiding mistakes. You have to be prepared to take the loss the second your money has turned into Crypto and not let that phase you.
- 20% rule: After preemptively trading my cryptocurrency to a new coin, I have seen horrendously large rises in some of the currencies I’ve traded away. It’s always good to keep at least 20% in your previous crypto because you never know when it’s going to boom. This rule has helped me save myself several times from potential disasters and allowed me to ensure that some of my coins have done well for me, even after I’ve decided a different currency will be better considering their market plans.
- Research the cryptocurrencies that you are interested in, and focus on their news, rather than the news of certain sites. What they are doing to improve their systems is more valuable than the speculation of people who mostly do not know what they are doing.
- Be diverse and pick reliable currencies. It doesn’t pay to take horrendous risks. Diversify your investments among a number of different currencies, and i must emphasise to please research them before you chunk in a lot of cash. I tend to use reliable currencies that move against each other in the market, so when one is doing well the other tends to do badly. Transferring the successful one to the other has massively increased my profits when the market turns around. Whilst patterns are rarely predictable, it can be good to work with multiple currencies that reliably gain and fall in tandem.
- 10, 20, 50, 100. Whenever I trade between cryptocurrencies, I trade using these units so I can quickly see if a currency has gained massively and know which of them is doing well at a glance. This allows me to utilise the next strategy well.
- Trade out profit. If you have a currency you really like and it’s doing well, but you wish to invest in something else, trade the profit out, rather than putting more money in. If the cryptocurrency reduces in value again, you’ve lost nothing but your profit, whilst opening up a new investment opportunity. As the cryptocurrency you traded out was at a higher value than before it fell, you will not lose so much when it drops down in value and your new investment might earn you a nice chunk. I’ve done this a LOT and it’s fairly successful.
- If you consistently lose at cryptocurrency, only do trades with what you earn on the platform, stop investing your money until you understand what you are doing!
- Don’t buy on a high. All crypto dips at times, get it in the dips, and wait for them – they will come.
- Set a rule for profit. At the moment my rule for profit is approximately 20% profit before I trade one cryptocurrency for another that is going to go up. I will always save some in reserve, 20% just in case the crypto keeps scaling well, as I’d hate to miss out on one Bitcoin level coin.
- Don’t blame yourself if you screw it up or think you are a god if you make it big, Cryptocurrency is a dangerous game and it can easily kick you between the legs if you’re not careful. It’s dangerous if you think you are the best trader ever if you luck out for a month or so, then do something dumb only to lose thousands. I’ve seen it happen with other people and when I started it also happened to me.
As with anything on the Internet, take my advice with a pinch of salt. None of what I am telling you is professional financial advice as I’m just a hobbyist. I’ve got super lucky at times and at others, I’ve screwed myself over, oh boy have I done that! Even today, whilst writing this, I lost 40 quid to just not waiting for a few minutes, but how would I know that the currency was going to peak even higher! Thankfully I saved 20% on it and made a nice chunk before it dropped again.
Do I recommend getting into Cryptocurrency?
If you have an addictive personality – no. Addiction is a serious problem when it comes to something like this. An addict doesn’t think with the mind, but more so with the need or desire that comes from the addiction. Addiction makes people make really terrible mistakes, such as losing everything then putting more money in before they understand it’s disappearing. Spotting an opportunity and investing badly can end up costing thousands. So if you are easily addicted to things, you need to be very, very careful with Crypto.
If you have money, then give it a shot, even if you just work one or two extra overtime shifts in a month to give it a go. The only thing you will lose is a few hundred, and if you give up, leave everything there, or trade it into a few different currencies and come back in a year to see if anything is different. You never know when one thing may pay off. 100 pounds will give you around £3.00 plus in 20 currencies on Coinbase. One of them might increase thousands of percent in value over the next year or so. Nothing is guaranteed, but you never know what could happen until it does. You don’t win any games you don’t play.
If you want to try investing with Coinbase, if you’re going to invest over $100.00 and you use this link you will get some extra bitcoin when you spend your first $100.00 or other currency equivalent.
Which Currencies do I like?
I actually like loads of cryptocurrencies! My favourites are:
- Shiba Inu: A cool classy meme coin that’s nice and volatile. Buy low sell high leads to some valuable results and with a little luck I could become a shiba millionaire. Not that I think that’ll happen any time soon. I invest in the currency when it’s doing badly and then trade out for other cheap currencies when Shiba Inu is doing well. Doing this I’ve saved a hell of a lot of money.
- Algorand: Reliable, effective and intelligently designed, Algorand feels like a crypto that will do well. I like their staking rewards on Coinbase, which ensure my value in Algorand increases with the power of the currency. Algorand was developed by Silvio Micali who is a prestigious Turing Award winner. It’s a great Cryptocurrency, just make sure you invest on the dips.
- IoTeX is a secure and scalable cryptocurrency with a solid team behind it. Whilst not exceptional by any means compared with some cryptocurrencies in terms of results, IoTeX has been a reliable cryptocurrency for me that has helped me both hold and expand on finances when other cryptocurrencies have not given me the percentages I set myself for growth. I personally love it, but others may not revere it as I do. As anything else in this market you cannot always judge on past experience, but it’s pretty reliable at the best of times.
- Tezos is also a great cryptocurrency to get into on Coinbase, and holding it will result in rewards over time. Tezos have a nice pulse for people who are in it for the long game and wait. It’s easy to grab them when they are low and sell them when they are high, as price fluctuation can be insane during a week. Tezos like IoTeX are one of my go to currencies if the timing is right.
Investing in any of these should not be taken as financial advice, they are my personal favorites, and previous experience isn’t always going to repeat. Every time I make a trade, I ensure that I am trading sensibly and not taking dumb risks. I always keep some reserves handy just in case something goes horrifically wrong as well, as losing money is the opposite of why I got involved in Cryptocurrency.

Whatever the case, stay safe and only play with money you are prepared to lose. I started on £10.00, realised the scope of what could be achieved and went a bit crazy, but it’s paid off so far. From around £2,400 investment, I am just over £4,100. I am very wary and know this could change in the wink of an eye. Personally I am enjoying the system, and I’m hoping it’ll make me rich.

Theft is defined as the unlawful acquisition of another persons property with the intention of permanently depriving that person of said property. Theft can have varying degrees of severity, for example, stealing someone’s Dr. Pubber is not the same as stealing an ID access card. Petty thefts generally would not be prosecuted in a court of Space Law
Theft in Space Station 13
Theft of basic everyday items that belong to another player or the NanoTrasen corporation is classified normally as a minor crime. Standard procedure would be for security to confiscate the stolen goods and to ticket or fine the perpetrator of the theft.
Theft With Intent
Theft with intent is a little different. If security have arrested a suspicious individual and find items in their possession such as multitools, pdas that do not belong to this person, ID access cards that are for areas of the station they should not have access to or insulated gloves, it can be easily assumed that the individual is stealing items with the intent to potentially cause harm to others or commit acts against NanoTrasen, this could be something as simple as procuring more items that do not belong to them to sabotage. If the individual has not committed other crimes, they should have the items confiscated from them, a ticket and or fine, and a minimum of three minutes brig time. This crime should be logged and security should be made aware of this,
Grand Theft
Theft of weapons, high profile IDs and equipment is grand theft and is a severe crime. There is no good reason why a person should be obtaining such items, or retaining possession of them. A good person would bring them in to security if they found them, so it can only be assumed that they intended to use them to commit further crime. If an individual were to let security know they had acquired such items and was bringing them in, then holding these items would not be an act of theft. It would be a player responsibly returning them.
Prosecuting Theft:
In the case of prosecuting theft, there are there things to look at and prove.
1: Did the individual take the item with no intent of returning it? This can be proven easily, if they have acquired the item without informing anyone else then It is unlikely they wanted to return the items. If they ran from security or in front of witnesses and tried to escape, it is clear they have no intention of returning the items. If they trespassed in an area they had no right to be in, then this is easy to prove forensically, and the obtaining of these items without permission would be theft.
2: Did the individual acquire the item through force or threats? Threats which made a victim fear for their safety are an assault, and should be added as a charge. Physical violence in which a victim was pushed, hit, or wounded with a weapon would be a battery. This should be added to the list of charges.
3: Did the individual have items on their person that may also have been stolen or are of a suspicious nature. If so, it is possible they were aiming to use these items to commit further crime, and possibly to commit sabotage against NanoTrasen.
As the prosecution, we need to make the defense lawyer aware of every item of inculpatory evidence which is stacked against the individual. Inculpatory evidence is evidence that points to the individual committing the crime. We must also inform them of all exculpatory evidence, which is evidence that may help prove the individuals innocence. This could be an alibi, or proof that they did not commit the crime. We must do this before court, as any evidence brought to the court without being shown to the defence would be classified as tampering with evidence in Space Law and result in a potentially permanent suspension from practising Space Law and possibly demotion to the rank of clown.
You should provide a PDA message to the defence lawyer containing all evidence collected. This way there is a record that you have provided all of the necessary exculpatory and inculpatory information in the case. A copy should also be sent to the judge and security.

If people had never questioned science, the human race would still believe in alchemy and the geocentric model of the universe. Nowadays, you’re not supposed to question science. Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler all added to the knowledge of what we now see as the universe. Scientists opposed them, and despite holding the popular theories of the time, they were proven wrong… By science. There has been a mass shutdown of thought in which people are told that questioning scientists (most of whom cannot string together anything more complicated than “Covid’s bad, mkay?”) is a stupid thing to do.
In the future, people will look back on ‘the science’ of today and wonder how human beings could associate 6 different coronaviruses, of which some are very common as the same thing, which apparently results in a person having Covid. Covid is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 strain. The Wikipedia article is extended protected meaning that people cannot edit it in the normal fashion that they can with other articles. Other forms of coronavirus do not cause COVID-19. There are several types of LFT or Lateral Flow Test available, produced by a number of different companies. Some of these show up to 4 other types of coronavirus. On reporting that the test is positive, people must self isolate according to our government regulations until such a time has passed that they can safely go to work.
Until the Covid Pandemic, a large amount of medical organisations
recommended not wearing a face mask over a long time. This is because, for cloth face masks, you can breathe droplets in through the mask and over time the mask will retain moisture and heat, allowing bacteria to multiply, which is repeatedly going in and out of your lungs. Other face masks are better, and disposables should be used and disposed of quickly. Prolonged use can lead to physical complications for the person’s
face, ears, nose and mouth, which I have seen first hand as I work with these. A fellow co-worker who works a lot now has injuries to her ears because of this, other carers and hospital workers I know have experienced similar issues. If you think it’s fun and games try wearing one into work, then through work then all the way home to about 13.5 hours, and do that 5 days a week for a while. – This is after we take LFTs to ensure we don’t have Covid before going into the home. Which makes very little sense until you realise that the tests aren’t 100% reliable or accurate. Ergo the carers and hospital staff must suffer to ensure safety of individuals in their care. Face masks historically weren’t
always regarded as ‘safe’ to use. Information like this is now really hard to find because the ‘new science’ and ‘fact checking websites’ now populate Google, and provide a politically motivated ‘scientific’ opinion on why they are really safe and that you must wear them.
It is currently
policy for first aiders not to give rescue breaths, which will ultimately result in increased deaths from cardiac arrest and could lead to brain damage or death through lack of oxygen. People who are receiving CPR are at a higher level of risk due to Covid rules, and they are one small sub section of society.
People with cancer find themselves unable to get treatment due to this pandemic, that relies on facts and figures
skewed as never before seen. This will also affect people with heart disease and just about any other illness ever. Normally, one would have to establish the cause of death. It’s really weird that the window would be so large. It’s also important to note that Covid is more dangerous to people with comorbidities, which begs the question: “What is the actual medical cause of death? Covid, the complications from Covid, or the other issues?” If all are put down as Covid, just because someone had it at the time, or even after they no longer had it because they used to this is not scientifically accurate, because we do not know for sure. They could have died from
anything else. Also when you consider how many times the word
coronavirus is thrown around in statistics, you have to wonder if people are talking about SARS-CoV-2 or coronavirus in general, especially considering some LFTs pick up multiple forms.
Statistics are being used to spread fear and chaos, so when the numbers aren’t high, the papers will say: Coronavirus cases are up 33% in this area, even if that means 3 people had it and one more has become infected, causing mass panic. Not 33% more people dying, but just 33% more have it. Sadly the news article for this one has disappeared and is only there as a memory, so you’ll have to just trust me on this. There’s a lot of the whole
mass panic thing going on at the moment, which is amusing. So petrol is a little short because of some delays and issues in supply. The news mentions it, everyone goes crazy and buy up all the petrol in existence, creating a mass panic, and an actual fuel crisis. Fearmongering is something I see as very creepy and it’s something that makes me question a lot of what’s actually going on. They keep talking about coronavirus statistics, however these are NOT specified as SARS-CoV-2, which is an important distinction as if we are just reporting the common cold deaths as a comorbidity death, this is really troubling. Thankfully,
the Flu has retired though, so that’s good. After many years of hard work, it’s finally claiming it’s pension. I wonder sometimes if maybe, it’s all just… Well… The flu after a rebrand, but that’d be crazy, right?
In the UK, the Government has
enforced a mandate which forces carers like myself to be vaccinated. Because we in the health sector are so worthless and expendable, we are being forcefully vaccinated or having to lose our jobs under, I might add, a GOVERNMENT REGULATION, which does not have the same weight as the
ACTUAL LAW which states that Government regulations MAY NOT impose a vaccination on people. But let’s be honest, who gives a damn about this. I have had my first vaccination and it’s had a horrible effect on me. I’ve gone into hospital, which I never did with Covid, and my body and mind are screwed. I’ve got to have another one or lose my job. This is called being forced to do something under duress, which is coercion meaning that I cannot legally consent to it. Which in essence results in what they call in legal terms: battery. I know what you’re thinking… If you don’t want it, why did you make that choice? I didn’t. It was take the jab or lose my job. It’s not a choice, I have bills to pay and a family to support. Also fun fact, as we don’t know the long term effects of the vaccine (some vaccines have manifested results 20 YEARS after being jabbed) there can be NO INFORMED CONSENT, meaning that all the consent forms are useless.
To wrap it up. The very fact the science is unable to be challenged now and anyone who attempts to question the chosen science is regarded as a moronic Luddite is worrying. It shows a stupid and unscientific stagnancy that only an oppressor would put on the world, after all, if the science was solid, anything challenging it would be able to be refuted, rather than silenced. The fact the law no longer protects people from being forced into a clinical trial or lose their jobs is also worrying.
Welcome to 1984. It’s the beginning of a man stamping on a human face – happily ever after.
by Chan Walrus | Oct 15, 2021 | Politics
Part 1: Are The Regulations the Government proposes actually Legal?
The government has put in place a new regulation which states that it will be mandatory for care assistants to have two approved vaccines in order to work within a CQC regulated care home. This regulation appears to be in conflict with the Public Health Control of Disease Act 1984, which governs how such a regulation should be made, specifically stating that regulating such a mandate is not possible. This is being done supposedly with the “Intention that it is necessary to protect the lives of residents.” It is my belief that the regulation itself is completely illegal as it flies in the face of the legislation documented in the Public Health Control of Disease Act 1984 and therefore should be nullified by this act.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/22
This act under section 45E appears to state that such a government regulation in the sector cannot make certain medical procedures mandatory through its regulations. This does specify vaccination.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vaccination-of-people-working-or-deployed-in-care-homes-operational-guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-of-people-working-or-deployed-in-care-homes-operational-guidance#:~:text=From%2011%20November%202021%20care,professional%20capacity%20unless%20exempt.
The government publications relating to the new regulations specify that they are indeed regulations, and also refer to them as operational guidance. Considering that these are regulations and guidance, and they are potentially unlawful, should they really be adhered to if they are in conflict with the Law?
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2021/9780348224993
The government also refers to the amendments to the social care act 2008 as being regulations and guidance. As regulations appear to be prohibited from mandating an invasive medical procedure such as a vaccine, are they really legally binding?
Concluding from the way the Public Health Control of Disease Act 1984 handles the ability to mandate a vaccine through regulations, I do not believe that enforcing such regulations is something companies should act upon.
Moreover I believe that the Health and Safety at work act 1974 would require as stated: “It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees” due to the vaccines not having been around for long enough to know long term health effects of the vaccines, administration and enforcement of such mandates through regulations without scrutinising the legal side of things or attempting to look into health risks and side effects of these vaccines could potentially be a breach of this legislation.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1974/37/section/2
The reasons for the regulations being made are that they are supposedly being made with the intention of protecting residents. This creates a coercion to adhere to morality when it comes to how carers interact with people in the outside world, and helps apply pressure to them to conform to government demands. Here is my counter to the argument that it is necessary to protect residents:
Currently care homes have several tests to ensure that the virus does not get into the care home. Staff are to take Lateral Flow Tests and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests to ensure that they do not bring the virus into homes. These tests help to ensure the protection of residents in the care home.
The regulation states that friends and family of the residents who are visiting the care home do not need to be vaccinated. This is a potential risk to residents, in the case that the vaccination is actually useful or necessary which is debatable. This also applies to emergency services, maintenance people, private carers, persons under the age of 18. There is even the case for people being medically exempt. If this is the case, but vaccines are required for safety, with such volumes of unvaccinated traffic who do not always even know how to use PPE properly going through the care home every single day, it cannot be said that this mandate is being done to protect residents at all.
It must be stated that a vaccine does not prevent staff from carrying the virus, it just assists the body in creating an immune response, though global results for vaccines have varied, with serious cases in Israel for example skyrocketing after taking secondary vaccines and booster jabs.
Part 2 Intimidation and Coercion – Thoughts on Science, and intimidation and coercion of employees in the care sector.
At the risk of sounding like a tinfoil hat wearing skeptic, currently at the moment there is a worrying trend with science that it must not be challenged. This has been pushed forward by the government, the media and the most powerful social media platforms in the world. Science is something that has always been challenged.
If Galileo had not challenged science, we would know less about the universe today, and would still think that the Earth was the centre of the universe. Galileo was in his time labelled a heretic as he argued against the science of his day. Even now we know his heliocentric beliefs were incorrect as we have gathered more understanding of the innate nature of the universe. Today we know that the geocentric and heliocentric models of the universe are false, as are the classical elements, Earth, Air Fire and Water, Hollow Earth theory and many others. This is why alchemy has ceased to be a profession.
Science has to always be open to scepticism and questions, as if it cannot openly be challenged, it cannot be considered to be accurate or correct to a level where it is reliable. If a fact can be scientifically proven beyond all reasonable doubts it can be considered to have a high degree of accuracy, however if any attempts to question the science have to be shut down and ignored, or outright dismissed without scrutiny, this is proof that something is not right somewhere, as it should be easy using science to disprove skeptics and alternative theories. I do not believe the science to be accurate because of the global shutdown in what could be classified as wrongthink. It is very, very scary and highly intimidating.
A look at coercion and intimidation…
As it stands. The new government regulations coming into effect come into effect as of November the 11th to the best of my knowledge. This means they are not currently in effect, as far as I know. In order to understand where I am going it is important to define what coercion is.
Coercion is: the use of intimidation or threats to force (or prevent) someone doing something against their will.
So for example, any organisation threatening disciplinary action, unspecified meetings or punishment in the case that their staff do not comply with being vaccinated before such a time as they would be enforced by law would be guilty of coercion through intimidation. A clear breach or article 3 of the human rights act.
https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/human-rights-act/article-3-freedom-torture-and-inhuman-or-degrading-treatment
Due to the sheer level of phone calls, emails, letters and communications between care home staff and management regarding the mandate of vaccines and the threats of termination of employment if staff do not adhere to the government regulations, not to mention the incessant peer pressure from other staff, friends and family. It can only be classified as intimidation resulting in one message. Get the jabs or lose your jobs. Need I state again that I believe these regulations are not legal?
Informed Consent and Battery:
It should be legally possible for all employees to self declare a medical exemption for vaccination in common law based upon a case settled in: 2015 in which the Supreme Court recognised that denial of free and informed consent is a self certified medical reason. The case is Montgomery v Lanarkshire 2015 UKSC 11.
https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2013-0136-judgment.pdf
Despite arguing this point, I was denied this right by my company’s legal team, which I saw as being unfair. As I don’t know the long term effects of the vaccines, and no one else does, I cannot have informed consent.
Informed consent is defined within Montgomery v Lanarkshire is as follows:
1: That the patient is given sufficient information to allow individuals to make choices that will affect their health and well being on proper information.
My statement is: As there is no information as to the long term effects of these vaccines and they are still approved for use only on the grounds of medical emergency. Sufficient information on long term effects does not exist. Ergo there can be no informed consent under these circumstances.
2: Sufficient information means informing the patient of other treatments and forms of testing.
3: That the patient is informed of the material risks of taking, the medical risks of taking, the medical information, and the material risks of declining it.
To conclude: As no long term information or data is available, any consent reached would not be informed consent.
If future information of possible side effects came to light after the patient gave consent, and there is a breach of informed consent, I believe that this would be classified as tort of battery and the medication would be unlawfully administered.
I am led to believe that the fundamental common law right to free and informed consent based on the ancient tort of battery is valid in all 16 Commonwealth realms and the Republic of Ireland and USA, that is, as far as I know.
In 2001, EWCA Civ 1545, I believe that Supreme Court President Lady Justice Hale confirmed that enforced medical procedures without informed consent may be sued in the ordinary way for the common law tort of battery.
https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2001/1545.html
Informed Consent Regarding Vaccines.
Currently the vaccines have not been in circulation long enough for long term effects of these vaccines upon human beings to be known. Due to this fact, no staff member who consents to be vaccinated is doing so under the rules governing informed consent, which I believe constitutes battery in these cases, (as they are an invasive medical procedure) due to the fact that required long term information on health risks cannot actually be provided. In many cases, written consent to an invasive medical procedure is not given by the people being administered vaccines. Even if it was given, due to the long term effects not being known, it would not be informed consent and therefore would not protect a company who had coerced their employees or others into signing a consent form.
So what does this have to do with coercion and science? If the science cannot be questioned and the regulation cannot be questioned, yet both must be obeyed, then coercion is occurring because one is acting not on what they want but what is being demanded of them under threat of losing their job. I myself know many other carers who would not have taken their jabs if their jobs had not been threatened. If they had not been relentlessly pressured into this action. I certainly would not have.
Are the Vaccines Safe?
We do not know. We will not know for years, maybe decades to come whether or not these vaccinations are safe. It is interesting to see a world in which they are lauded as definitely safe, with very low chance of risk, when they have not been out for a sufficient time for this information to be correct or reliable. Even after years and years of vaccine development there are still health risks with vaccines that have been out a lot longer than these new vaccines monitored worldwide on systems like VAERS.
To say something is safe without knowing the long term effects is extremely dangerous and unscientific. It’s this kind of thinking that you have to look at the cases of thalidomide babies to understand, or maybe closer to home the effects of the 1976 H1N1 vaccine which resulted in a rare neurological condition, Guillain-Barré syndrome occurring in around 450 cases, or maybe the narcolepsy following the Pandemrix vaccines in Europe.
In the United States, CNN released this article in 2020 which covers some more cases.
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/01/health/eua-coronavirus-vaccine-history/index.html
Conclusion:
To make a vaccine that has not been thoroughly tested to the point where we know the long term effects of it a mandatory requirement of working in a care home, despite the fact that vaccines do not stop someone carrying the virus into the care home cannot be considered reasonable. The government regulations that support this appear to be in conflict with the 1984 Public Health Control of Disease act.
Not everyone entering the care home or delivering personal care has to be vaccinated, which is proof that this is not in the best interest of residents, as all of the acceptable non vaccinated people are not subject to the same mandate. These people move throughout the care home which would clearly put other people at risk of infection – that is if vaccination even stopped someone from carrying the virus, which it does not.
This means that, from my interpretation, this is not being done in the interests of protecting residents or all people entering the care home would have to be vaccinated with no exceptions.
