The People in the UK Are Helping to Create Their Own Prison (REVISED BASED ON READER COMMENT)

These two articles highlight how in the UK people support vaccine passports to go to the pub and are happy to snitch on lockdown violators. Somehow, we need to help help reverse the misinformation so that people can make better decisions. (A reader offered this comment, which I think is important and encouraging: “I don’t believe these polls. They are easily manipulated. I live in the UK and I marched on the 20th of March with 100k people who oppose passports and all other covid restrictions. Like all covid restrictions – there’s no transparency. Who did they ask these questions to? How many people did they ask? There’s no substance.“)

  1. I don’t believe these polls. They are easily manipulated. I live in the UK and I marched on the 20th of March with 100k people who oppose passports and all other covid restrictions. Like all covid restrictions – there’s no transparency. Who did they ask these questions to? How many people did they ask? There’s no substance.
