‘Article Pfizer’ – France to punish criticism of mRNA vaccines

France, the nation that likes to boast about its approach to liberty and free speech, has passed a law through the National Assembly on Valentine’s Day that appears to impose severe penalties on those who criticise mRNA vaccines.

According to The People’s Network:

‘As of today, criticism of such therapeutic treatments, when deemed obligatory or recommended by the state, could result in up to three years of imprisonment or a fine of 45,000 euros. This bold legislative step, quickly dubbed ‘Article Pfizer’ by critics, represents a significant shift in the balance between public health policy and individual freedom of expression.’

As the LCP explains:

‘Article 4 creates a new offence aimed at punishing “provocation to abandon or refrain from undergoing therapeutic or prophylactic medical treatment”.’

In other words, opposition is considered a ‘sectarian aberration’.

Considering the law is particularly concerned with those who speak against government-recommended mRNA vaccines, and individuals who encourage others to avoid taking them, the natural follow-up question is, ‘Why is the government so desperate for people to take mRNA vaccines?’

It’s not as if the Covid era has delivered a glowing report on the safety and efficacy of mRNA technology. If anything, the fallout continues with serious questions being asked surrounding the rise in excess deaths and otherwise unexplained jumps in heart conditions, strokes, and conditions that have been linked to mRNA vaccine side-effect reports. Nations such as the UK have Covid vaccine compensation schemes already paying out small fortunes to the victims of adverse reactions. Not what you would call a glowing endorsement.

Is mRNA a safe technology? We don’t know – and neither does the French government.

Even if mRNA technology could be proven as 100 per cent safe, criminalising medical liberty is a worrying step in a totalitarian direction for a nation already in trouble for leaning toward draconian measures in other aspects of the nation. It is not as if Paris has been held under siege by the farming community for the best part of a month for failing to listen to citizen concerns…

The excuse given by the creators of the law is that it has been created in the interest of fighting future pandemics and protecting public health. Aside from real-world data suggesting mRNA vaccines did little, if anything, to combat the transmission of Covid – which is the only argument possible when toying with abolishing consent for the greater good – surely the best way to fight the next pandemic is to address gain of function experiments and other dangerous lab work which continues to go on around the world? This would include incidents like what happened in Wuhan earlier this year when a lab created a ‘zombie’ version of the Covid virus.

Regardless of your personal feelings toward mRNA technology, you might imagine that introducing criminal penalties to combat medical criticism would spark a major debate. It didn’t. France, like its Western and European counterparts, is still in the ‘yes men’ phase of nodding Covid-based policy through. It’s as if they are suffering a hangover from the disease of power experienced as a fever among politicians during Covid.

Aligning effective medical mandates to lucrative pharmaceutical products represents a significant shift in the concept of privacy and body autonomy.

Articles critical of the decision have asked what this says about the influence of Big Pharma on public policy… Is there an mRNA experimental vaccine on the horizon they want us to take against our will? Are we placing drug companies beyond the scope of public criticism?

This represents a worrying global precedent.

Since when did ‘science’ need to shelter under the protection of government authority? Most will agree, this is another abuse of the ‘greater good’ ideology slowly eating away the dream that was ‘liberty’.
