England Ends All COVID Passports, Mask Mandates, Work Restrictions

James Fetzerblog

By Lily Zhou Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home guidance will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday. Johnson also suggested that self-isolation rules may also be thrown out at the end of March as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic becomes endemic. Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer asking people to work from home. The COVID pass mandate for nightclubs and large events won’t be renewed when it expires on Jan. 26. And from Thursday, indoor mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory anywhere in…

Editorial: UChicago Must End Its Booster Mandate—We Are Not Lab Rats

James Fetzerblog

The Chicago Thinker UChicago continues to defy scientific and moral standards, dehumanizing us in the process. Per the University of Chicago’s newly announced booster mandate, all students and employees must obtain a booster shot by January 24. Those who do not comply will be barred from campus and restricted from attending in-person classes, among other activities. This booster mandate is demonstrably unsafe, ineffective, unnecessary, inconsistent, and unethical. We’ve struggled beneath UChicago’s draconian COVID decrees for years, but the university’s booster mandate reaches a new height of absurdity. UChicago Demands We Submit to Experimental Shots…

James Fetzerblog

Deana Pollard Sacks The American public is largely perplexed by the fact that numerous vaccine mandates are being promulgated in ways that are causing people to lose their jobs, homes, and sense of security without due consideration of religious beliefs and medical autonomy. Forced medical procedures are quintessentially and historically un-American and yet a glaring exception has been made for vaccinations as a prerequisite for children to attend school. The new vaccine mandates involve a breadth of medical autonomy infringement never before seen in American history, and they apply to…

Michael Snyder, They Are Creating The Biggest Witch Hunt In American History

James Fetzerblog

By Michael Snyder   Prior to this pandemic, if you wanted to weed out all of the “troublemakers”, “independent thinkers” and “non-conformists” from our society, how would you have done it?  I suppose that sending everyone a questionnaire asking them what they believe would be one way to do it, but of course a lot of people would give false answers and many others would simply ignore the questionnaire.  Social media profiles contain a wealth of information, but many “non-conformists” are not even on social media and digging through all…

Assessing The Legality of Mandates for Vaccines Authorized via an Emergency Use Authorization

James Fetzerblog

Efthimios Parasidis & Aaron S. Kesselheim   The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued two Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for Covid-19 vaccines, and may soon issue a third. Public health officials have begun vaccine administration via state-based priority access plans. Discussion of vaccine mandates is plentiful, including the potential for state-issued orders and private directives from employers and other non-governmental entities. What remains unclear is the legality of mandates for EUA vaccines. The issue of whether EUA vaccine mandates are permissible is particularly urgent given the woefully inadequate Covid-19 immunization roll-out. By December 31, 2020 fewer…
