Marxism marches through vaccine passports

RE: letters to the editor of Monday, August 30^th

I can’t get over just how bad the letters to the editor were on Monday.  We have Diana MacKenzie saying we must get over notions of freedom and individual rights and realize that, in a pandemic, society as a whole should be the important thing.  What ant colony does MacKenzie belong to?  We have society because it benefits the individuals who belong to it.  There is no reason to belong otherwise.

Some climate crazies believe the earth holds 5 billion too many humans.  If ordered to get into line for the ovens, is she going to shut up and obey, or look to escape?

Ed Walzak wrote about a hundred year old family tragedy that happened because of the Spanish flu.  He also deprecates freedom, believing we have too many, among which include bodily integrity, the right to say no, and the right to make one’s own medical decisions.  The right to abortion rests on “my body, my choice.”  We have MAID because of our right to life written in the Charter.  Let me run Ed’s life for a while, and we’ll see just how committed he is to rule by the idiots.

Johanna de Bruin cleverly thinks it unchristian that Redeemer permits the exercise of God-given free will in respect of vaccination.  Redeemer understands what vaccination does, while Johanna does not.

Bill Sullivan thinks vaccine passports protect society.  No they don’t.  Vaccinated people are protected by their vaccinations from the disease, not by the passport, and not from unvaccinated people.  Unvaccinated people are taking their chances, as they have a right to do.  I have never laid eyes on a society before, only individual people.

Al Knapp believes that vaccine passports protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated.  No, they don’t.  The vaccination protects the vaccinated from the disease, not the passport, and not from unvaccinated people.  That asymptomatic person next to you won’t infect you if you’re vaccinated, and perhaps even if they’re coughing and sneezing.  If you don’t want to associate with the unvaccinated, then perhaps we should make them wear a yellow star, or something.  You can sit at another table.  Also, Justin Trudeau doesn’t have the authority to mandate universal vaccinations.  How could he enforce it – at gunpoint?

I despair of our education system that could produce such arrant ideas of human rights.  Marxism is inherent in all the views criticized above.
