Neil Oliver: World leaders say the unvaccinated are 'idiots, racists and misogynists.'

Neil Oliver:

"In the last few days, I’ve noticed another apparent merging of messages, a seeming synchronising. The actual words varied, but the meaning and intent was unmistakeable.

First, I noticed Justin Trudeau, prime minister of Canada, telling a television audience that unvaccinated people were likely also to be misogynists and racists.

He actually offered his opinion, while sober and in the full glare of publicity, that fellow Canadians who were hesitant about an experimental medical procedure were likely to hate women and black people. And so, my ears pricked up.

Next, I read the quotes from a recent interview with French President Emmanuel Macron in which he said unvaccinated people were irresponsible – and that irresponsible people were not citizens. Not citizens, think about that. I looked up citizen in a dictionary, just to be sure, and found the word defined as describing, “a legally recognised subject of a state”. Macron said he wanted to make the lives of the unvaccinated, those non-citizens, as unbearable and as unliveable as possible. He said he wanted to p*** them off.

A French president who says the unvaccinated are not citizens is skating on thin ice over deep and dark water. Such a comment is close, I would argue, to saying the unvaccinated are lesser people, that they are not real people, not real French people, at the very least not people deserving to be treated as equals. That is murky water, dangerous ground – for all people and not just serving presidents of modern, allegedly democratic countries sat upon centuries of bloody, internecine strife.

And then, bumbling and fumbling in the wake of Trudeau and Macron came our own Boris Johnson.

He said: “I want to say to the anti-vax campaigners, the people who are putting this mumbo jumbo on social media: they are completely wrong.”

Anti-vaxxer is a disgraceful label. Many people, double and triple vaccinated among them, have questions they want answered. Some of the same people and more besides have particular and special concerns about the vaccination of children against a disease that poses them negligible threat. And yet according to the words of leaders around the world, such people are next door to idiots, racists and misogynists. They are next to non-people."
