On a variety of confusions about whether mandates were coercion

Vax mandates were coercion.

(1) People were astronomically misinformed about the risks from Covid.

(2) People were not informed about the lack of all-cause-mortality studies for the vaccines.

(3) Voices skeptical of the wisdom of taking the vax were censored, further ensuring an uninformed populace.

(4) “Take the vax or lose your job, be unable to go to public accommodations or travel” is a paradigm case of coercion.

(5) The fact that “if everyone had resisted, no one would have had to do it” does not mean it wasn’t coercion (lest no dictator ever maintained his/her grip via coercion).

(6) It follows that it’s not just the unvaccinated that were coerced. The vaccinated were also coerced, either through lack of being informed (1 - 3), or through coercion (4-5).

(7) The fact that some people got vaccinated voluntarily and eagerly does not undermine their being coerced. They were in fact not informed, and their consent was irrelevant.

(8) The fact that many vaccinated people engaged in hateful prejudice and discrimination against the unvaccinated does not mean they themselves weren’t coerced. It’s common for victims of coercion to justify to themselves that they were not weak victims, but instead righteous and strong.

When governments worldwide mandate a medication, EVERYONE is a victim.

And this is independent of the medication’s need, efficacy and safety.
