COVID Measures Herald A New Oppression Editor Picks Opinion by Duncan du Bois - 11th May 2022 Although a week has passed since the new Covid regulations were published, the absence of opposition and outrage at their unscientific restrictions on civil liberties is unusual in a society which never misses an opportunity to recall the oppression of the past, yet fails to recognise a new oppression being surreptitiously imposed in the name of public health. The late, lifelong opponent of communism, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, warned of the insidious, piecemeal manner in which liberty is progressively constrained by governments. Despite the very limited effect that Covid has had in South Africa – data that has suppressed deaths from ‘flu, pneumonia and co-morbidities - the resolve of the World Health Organisation’s local chapter, the ANC, to persist in imposing controls on
DearSA: The Public Participation Process Over Proposed Health Care Rules is a ‘Sham’ and ‘Irregular’ Editor Picks Highlighted South Africa by ANN Reporter - 9th May 20229th May 2022 More than 95% of 280,000-plus DearSA comments from members of the public have come out against proposed health care regulations. DearSA has written to the Director-General (DG) at the Department of Health informing him that the public participation process over proposed changes to health regulations is a ‘sham’ and ‘irregular’ after numerous participants received notifications that their emails had been deleted without being read. The DearSA campaign elicited an unprecedented level of public response, with more than 226,000 comments from South Africans (that figure has since risen to more than 285,000) – more than 95% of them opposing the proposed changes to health regulations. Allowing just 30 days for public comment on draconian changes in health regulations is unconscionable, given the regulations
WHO’s COVID Death Data Is Fake News News by FEgersdorfer - 9th May 2022 The World Health Organisation’s claim of 5,4 million deaths directly attributable to Covid-19 and additional 9,5 million as an indirect result does not square with data disseminated by health authorities (The Mercury, May 6). Data from the UK obtained through the Freedom of Information Act showed that the death tally from Covid of 137,133 in England and Wales for the period January 20 to September 21, 2021, was greatly exaggerated and has been revised down to 17,371. Of that number 13,597 cases were older than 65. UK Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, has conceded the “unreliability” of Covid deaths data. In ascribing 836,000 deaths to Covid in the US, Dr Rochelle Walensky of the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) declined to state whether
Department Of Health Deleting Public Participation Emails South Africa by ANN Reporter - 13th Apr 202213th Apr 2022 DearSA is aware that the Department of Health is allegedly deleting public participation inputs they received via email without reading them. A government department deleting public inputs without considering their contents is a grievous abuse of the public participation process. Fortunately, the DearSA platform exists to mitigate against this. Once DearSA delivers comments to the relevant government department, we count and record all public participation through our platform. Therefore no comments or inputs can go missing. This allows DearSA to bring a legal challenge against the government if they abuse the public participation process. “The deleted submissions pertain to the proposed regulatory amendments to the National Health Act. These regulations will perpetually and indefinitely extend the State of Disaster. DearSA's mission is

COVID Draft Bill Echoes Rhodes’ Smallpox Response Letter to the Editor Opinion by Duncan du Bois - 7th Apr 2022 There appear to be strong parallels with how the outbreak of smallpox in the Kimberley diamond fields in 1883/84 was dealt with and the somewhat arcane nature of the amended draft health regulations regarding Covid treatment (The Mercury, April 6). Originating from migrant Mozambican workers, between November 1883 and the latter part of 1884, smallpox accounted for the deaths of 600 African mine labourers. For mining magnate and capitalist Cecil Rhodes, the possible closure of the diamond fields as a result of the disease was a prospect he refused to consider. Consequently, he ordered what historian Russel Viljoen termed “a conspiracy of silence.” Although his chief medical officer, Dr JA Smith, had verified the outbreak as smallpox, Rhodes blackmailed him into denying
WHO Strategy Is Disingenuous Letter to the Editor Opinion by Duncan du Bois - 4th Apr 2022 The World Health Organisation’s strategy concerning what it claims as the “unpredictable nature of the Covid-19 virus” is utterly disingenuous because it conceals the real intent of its strategy (The Mercury editorial, April 4). On March 3, the WHO began negotiations with more than 100 countries for a treaty by which individual states devolve their authority on health policies to the WHO. Thus, in terms of that treaty, which the WHO wants established by 2024, it would dictate health protocols and responses to be applied universally. In other words, individual states would defer their sovereignty over health matters to the WHO. It should also be noted that there is no provision for a public participation process in deciding whether a state should
The Caprice And Deceit Of The Covid/Vax Rules Opinion by Duncan du Bois - 2nd Apr 2022 There is a great deal of truth in the quip that this year’s April Fools’ Day was cancelled because it really was not possible to spin a yarn that could supersede some of the current outrageous happenings. One arena that is drawing egregious comments concerns Covid protocols. Last month US First Lady Jill Biden invited Congressional representatives and their spouses to a soiree at the White House. But what should have been a relaxed and informal occasion was marred by the terms and conditions of the invitation: those who were unvaxxed had to wear a mask, maintain a strict social distance at all times and refrain from eating. The latest Covid regulations gazetted by South Africa’s ruling Command Council provide a further
Mandatory Masks, Lockdowns, Covid IDs and Vaccines Now Illegal In Bosnia World News by ANN Reporter - 22nd Mar 2022 Ivan Vilibor Sinčić, a non-attached (no political affiliation) Member of EU Parliament and activist from Croatia, says: "I want to share... a positive story from Bosnia and Herzegovina... (BiH) [often known informally as Bosnia]. The Constitutional Court of BiH declared the obligation to wear masks and restriction of free movement unconstitutional. We also have new rulings. ... On February 23rd 2022 ... BiH issued a decision... declaring the COVID certificate unconstitutional and declaring mandatory vaccination unconstitutional. ... The Court even criticised the Parliament [for] violations of the rule of law and democracy in the country. ... those who disobey this decision should be prosecuted under criminal law and sentenced for 6 months to 5 years. This is a victory against segregation and discrimination and ...
Factors Protracting COVID Highlighted Opinion by Duncan du Bois - 14th Mar 202214th Mar 2022 It is a pity that in conceding that Covid-19 “will be with us for some time” (Mercury editorial, March 14) the reasons given for its protracted presence are disingenuous. In all the countries where most of the population has been vaxxed, Covid cases continue to spike. And the reason for that is obvious: contrary to the narrative of the WHO and all the jab adherents, it is the contents of the jab which is reigniting Covid in people. The latest celebrity to find that out is triple vaxxed former president Obama. Yet despite the shocking shortcomings and adverse effects of the vax campaign, the so-called experts of the WHO with whom Professor Abdool Karim is closely affiliated, ignore the contrary findings of
