Red Cross President Demands Gov’t, Media Silence Those Who Question Safety of COVID Vaccine
While there are certainly some outlandish claims based on complete nonsense made by those who oppose vaccinations as well as the rabid pro-vaxxers, there are very real reasons to advocate for informed consent and vaccine safety. No one here at TFTP is telling anyone what to do in regard to vaccinations. We are however, advocating for safety at all levels of this process. Nevertheless, those who promote vaccine safety are increasingly being treated as outcasts and lawmakers and media alike are calling for them to be silenced.
There are now renewed efforts by many in the government and medical institutions to quash the chatter when it comes to talking about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The most recent call for censorship comes from Francesco Rocca, president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. In a virtual briefing to the U.N. Correspondents Association, Rocca called for a government and institution-sponsored push to combat “fake news” about COVID-19 vaccines, calling skepticism over the jab “a second pandemic.”
Rocca clearly stated that “to beat this pandemic, we also have to defeat the parallel pandemic of distrust.”
