"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."
Ayn Rand
"It is only the individual, after all, who suffers. The group does not suffer - only those who compose it. Thus, the reality of the individual must be regarded as primary if suffering is to be regarded seriously. Without such regard, there can be no motivation to reduce suffering and, therefore, no respite. Instead, the production of individual suffering can, and has, and will, be again rationalized and justified for its supposed benefits for the future and the group.

Defensive Germans Who Allowed The Holocaust
I received a lot of backlash for my previous post concerning the removal of privileges for those who choose to not be vaccinated. Verbatim - this was my argument :
If vaccinations are pressured on a population in order to have privileges and basic rights, then Harvey Weinstein should be set free because he is innocent.
Essentially, people lost their minds. I won't repeat the same arguments in this post.
I defended that perspective on The Symposium Podcast, it was censored, and I eventually had to re-upload the audio on the SoundCloud playlist, #SymposiumBerlin Uncensored.
I receive quite a bit of hate for the perspectives I share. I fully accept it. As previously stated, I respect your Freedom of Speech and your emotional investment helps grow the visibility of The Symposium. However, in this post, I will take an objective approach and will refrain from intentionally triggering people - as I had previously done. This post is intended to provide rational arguments against the public pressure to have the population vaccinated. If you wish to be vaccinated, that is your prerogative. I am even willing to have you take my vaccine as well. I will take my chances with a virus with a 98% survival rate.
Let's break down the most common emotional argument used to pressure vaccines :
1. "You're selfish".
Yes. I am.
UNDERLINE THAT IN NEON.
There is absolutely no rational basis to this argument. None. Moreover, I've never taken being selfish as an insult. I do believe that it is important to have an Enlightened Self-Interest in order to prevent the emotional blackmail of others.
Let's settle and dissect this emotional argument by posing three questions ...
a. Who is taking the risk?
b. Who is benefitting?
c. Who will take responsibility if I am harmed?
Answers…
a. Who is taking the risk?
I am the only one taking the risk, thus, I must have freedom of choice. One provision in the Nuremberg Code reads :
"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential... The person involved should have the legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision..."
Many of you are bothered by the words that I use. But how else am I to wake you up? My words may not be beautiful, but that's because I intend to wake you up to an ugly reality. In Israel, they are deciding if the unvaccinated should be allowed to buy groceries - if you threaten to starve your citizens unless they are vaccinated, how is this not an element of force? Johnson and Johnson, a company with quite a checkered criminal past, wants to now inject babies with the vaccines. Allow me to reiterate, children are mostly asymptomatic, and at worst, will experience flu-like symptoms. For an experimental vaccine, where the adverse reactions, for most of the population, are actually worst than contracting the coronavirus, why would I endanger my life in this mass experiment?
"For the sake of society?" Well, if this is the line of argument, couldn't I use this perspective to question the grotesque consequences of unemployment, homelessness, overdoses, suicides and abuse that continues to pile due to these lockdowns?
Were we really "All In This Together"?
b. Who is benefitting?
I won't delve deeply into this.
Simply read these articles.
Below are the American and European patents for the Coronavirus :
US 2006257852
EP 3172319B1
c. Who will take responsibility if I am harmed?
Again, it would be a waste of print to delve too deeply.
I am the only one shouldering the burden of this violation. Pharmaceutical companies are not liable for any damages caused by the vaccines.
Allow me time to present an example before providing my closing argument. Imagine there is a restaurant, that has a paid out billions of dollars in order to settle lawsuits in the past, that is offering you food that you do not feel comfortable eating. You are not sure what that meal will do to you once it enters your body. However, due to the panic-porn that was propagated for more than a year, you find yourself in a precarious position ; surrounded by the faux-compassion and empathy, virtue signalling, and group-think of “friends”, family, and strangers, you begin to feel like a "bad person" for feeling uncomfortable with eating at this restaurant. Allow me to stress, and please, underline this in neon, your decision to eat at this restaurant impacts no one but yourself.
If you can understand this analogy, then you can understand why I am simply fed up with the irrational, faux "altruistic" behaviour of those who try to pressure vaccinations through shame, guilt, and/or emotional manipulation.
Closing argument :
Everyone who wants a vaccine should receive one. Please, be my guest. However, since there is no SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, that this vaccine will either prevent the transmission or contraction of the Coronavirus. There is ABSOLUTELY NO rational substance for the ARGUMENT of mass vaccinations. You have no right to infringe on the individual rights, nor bodily autonomy, of another individual.
Without consent it is rape. I don't care the entity committing the crime.
And if you “don't know”, now you know 😉.
