Welcome to the Future

The following excerpt from a news article on news.com.au is a chilling reminder of the coming New World Order where everybody must toe the line or face the consequences.

The maker of an anti-vaccination “documentary” to be aired in seven secret locations has cancelled her tour to Australia because her visa application wasn’t determined in time. This might be welcome news to Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt, who has slammed British journalist Joan Shenton’s controversial film, Sacrificial Virgins, ahead of its launch in Australia on Thursday. The anti-vaccination film opposes the Gardasil vaccine, claims that human papillomavirus (HPV) it protects against does not cause cervical cancer and that the vaccine can cause “neurological damage”.  Mr Hunt says that’s rubbish, and the film spreads “false and reckless” claims. Gardasil is administered free in Australia to boys and girls aged 10 and over as part of the National Immunisation Program and government’s cancer prevention program. “The science is in and the medical experts advice is absolute — vaccinations save lives and protect lives and they are an essential part of a healthy society,” Mr Hunt told Fairfax when the Australia launch of the film was announced. “I have no time for the false and reckless claims made by anti-vaxxers and I will continue call out their dangerous claims.”

Of course gutless politicians can be expected to always toe the line and Greg Hunt is no exception as he sums up the party line quite nicely:

The science is in and the medical experts advice is absolute — vaccinations save lives and protect lives and they are an essential part of a healthy society.

Despite the massive fuckups of the past that can be attributed to "medical experts", the "science is in" and must be believed. Failure to do so will have consequences if you have a public profile like Joan Shenton. For example, other countries may refuse you a visa.

Criticism of Israel can also jeopardise entry into Australia for non-Australians. China of course is in the vanguard when it comes to restricting travel access as it does so within the borders of its own country for those who have sufficient demerit points. This is a practice that other governments are only too eager to adopt, if they can get away with it. It may not be long before an Australian citizen who is a vocal critic of vaccinations may not be allowed to travel by plane from Brisbane to attend an anti-vaccination rally in let's say Melbourne. 

Once the cashless society is implemented, fines will doubtlessly be applied to those who don't toe the line. Spreading false news about the dangers of vaccination on social media or via a blog (like this one) may attract a warning for a first notification together with a demand that the offending post be removed. Failure to do so will attract a fine and heavier fines or even imprisonment may apply for future offences. Alternatively, social media outlets or blog hosting sites will be shut down. 

Expressing opposition to the prevailing orthodoxy, such as all vaccinations are safe or Israel is serious about striving for peace in the Middle East, adversely affects career prospects even now and in the future this can only get worse. Vocal critics can be assured that career advancement will slow and finally stall.

In the meantime, Joan Shenton will be present remotely:

The planned screenings in the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Byron Bay area and Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane will still go ahead, with Ms Shenton appearing via video link. Promoters will not divulge the exact locations of the screenings. They will remain secret until ticket-holders are told what the venue is two hours before the 30-minute film starts.

I guess the exact locations must be kept secret or else pressure would be brought to bear on hosting locations to rescind their authorisation to hold meetings.
