Neil Oliver was a guest on some documentary I watched a few months back. However, I didn’t know much about him. As I scrolled through Twitter, the video I had shared was found. Oliver debunked the COVID hype through calm, powerful language. Oliver’s style isn’t flashy. Between his hair and his brogue, you’d figure that Oliver would be the last from whom you’d hear those sorts of words spoken.
Imagine my delight when I checked the comments on that broadcast and found another clip that was even more admirable.
Disney fired Gina Carano, a Star Wars actress, from The Mandalorian earlier this year over remarks that compared government requests for ratting our neighbors to Nazi actions during the Holocaust. Branch Covidian Branch Covidian Cultists on both the right and left decided unambiguously that any comparison with the Nazis, no matter how accurate, would be grounds for cancellation. It appears that Neil Oliver didn’t get that memo, as this video doesn’t shy from that.
He starts:
Mark Twain said history doesn’t repeat but it rhymes. Five days in a row, Austria kept its non-vaccinated citizens under lock and key for five days. Two million of these people could only go out and buy food or work. Many unvaccinated workers were thus employed in restaurants, cafes, and shops. They could be considered lowly servants, but they would not have the right to return as customers once their shifts had ended. This strategy is absurd, even before we get to the morality and otherwise of these rules. While they were allowed to give the coffee-vaccinated customers their cups and bags, they were considered unclean and not fit for socializing with other clean individuals. Austrians interviewed by the police were uninterested in their surroundings, seemed unmoved or even encouraged the social hopping of their neighbours. “The virus must be stopped, “ they shrugged ignoring or unaware of the fact no available vaccine fully prevents catching or spreading COVID.
My understanding is that this was not a move to improve health, but to enforce compliance. “Do as you’re told.” Now the authorities have the whole population locked down once more. Presumably, some bright sparks somewhere had the notion that stigmatizing and segregating the unvaccinated might have the desired effect, but it certainly wasn’t going to halt the spread. Certainly not in Vienna, where a brothel offers punters 30 minutes with the lady of your choice, and I’m quoting there, in return for taking the jab. Women are now on the same level as Kebabs, Burgers, Ice Cream, Lotto Tickets, and all the other freebies that can be offered to induce compliance. The issue is not health. It’s not even about their mental or physical health. Trafficking of women for sex work is a feature of modern slavery across the world but maybe we don’t care about that. We instead turn our backs as men rush to have a procedure done and then hand the woman to us.
Oliver couldn’t be more correct. These are often issues with COVID mandates. Here we have a government calling for the literal ostracizing of its citizens, despite those same citizens being allowed to serve the “ruling class” under the conditions which they deem appropriate. But if the same individuals took off their names and went around the opposite side of the counter they would be declared out of compliance by government mandates. In the same way, women can believe they are being traded for their autonomy, as someone who is often a victim of their lack of control. Oliver goes on to say more:
The history of poor governments shows that they often seek out people to blame. This often includes their own citizens. It gives angry, frightened people a place for frustrations, as well as for their disgust. The 20th Century has taught us a valuable lesson. It is the fact that citizens tend to view a small number of fellow citizens as disease vectors. This is bad news for everyone.
A propaganda campaign was launched in Poland to spread the belief that Jews had spread Typhus, which is a deadly disease, back in 1941. It is an old ghost that we ought to have put to bed long ago. However, it has returned. As it turns out, the disease never disappeared. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.
Oliver is absolutely right. It is wrong to suggest the unvaccinated spread the virus or suggest they can do so. This is propaganda by definition. It is misleading to say that only unvaccinated people are responsible for most new infections. They are certainly not effective enough to prevent new infections. It isn’t.
Oliver’s conclusion, however, drives the stake through the heart of progressive leftism, which claims some virtuous moral high-ground, yet ignores blatant issues to which they claim to be so opposed:
The past is a lesson. Our past is a sad tale of chattel slavery. But we ignore women and children being trafficked to sex in Congo, where they are mining cobalt for their phones and electric cars. For fear of upsetting the community, we turn our blinders and ears off to the uncounted number of girls being raped in Rotherham and elsewhere across England. While we promise to never forget the Holocaust, we also turn a blind eye, possibly genocidally, to the Uyghur Muslims of China’s abuse. We’re already being encouraged to turn a blind eye to the locking down of Austria’s unvaccinated. We are being encouraged to turn a blind and deaf ear towards mandatory medical procedures that her citizens must undergo. Do we continue to watch as a tide of darkness moves ever closer towards our shores? So the old saying goes that he who is silent has consented to his actions. Are we going to be silent? Or will we speak loudly, clearly and honestly? Martin Luther King said that all people have the moral responsibility to ignore unjust laws. We must speak out and refuse to give our consent. We will we refuse to obey unjust laws?
