Since my original post regarding the UK Parliamentary petition calling for assurances from the UK Government that no direct or indirect restrictions would be imposed on those who refuse to take any vaccine introduced for the COVID-19 virus; the numbers signing this petition has continued to rise at an ever increasing rate.
Original posted upon the UK’s Parliamentary Petitions website on the 4th August 2020 (https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/323442), within days it achieved the 10,000 signatures needed to require a response from the UK Government.
This response was slow in coming and it was another 36 days before the Ministry of Health and Social Security published a response. A response that failed to address any of the concerns outlined by the petition. (See; https://read.cash/@smiletobefree/uk-parliamentary-anti-covid-19-vaccination-petition-is-now-receiving-145-new-names-an-hour-03450863).
The signatures continued to pour in and quickly and the 100,000 signatures required for UK Parliamentary recognition of these concerns was achieved and passed (https://read.cash/@smiletobefree/uk-parliamentary-anti-covid-19-vaccination-petition-passes-119000-signatures-2d778489).
After this however the pace of those concerned by this issues, did not slack however and as of the November 11th 2020, the total number of signatures stood around the 158,000.
Then, with the announcement that the ticket company Ticketmaster would require proof of vaccination to permit someone to buy a ticket for a concert or sporting event, this quickly changed (https://oye.news/news/freedoms/ticketmaster-no-vaccine-no-ticket/). In 72 hours 80,000 new signatures were add to the petition by very concerned UK residents calling on their government to respect and defend the sovereignty of their own bodies.
Interestingly, the government’s response to justify its rejection to similar Parliamentary petition, ‘Stop Mandatory UK Covid-19 vaccines and uphold freedom of choice’ (https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/322198), states: “It is already against the law for people to be required to undergo medical treatment, including vaccinations. The Coronavirus Act 2020 has not changed this.”
However, as I reflected in my previous article, while this may seem reassuring, Boris Johnson’s Conservative government’s introduction of over 600 laws since May 2020 and their adoption, without any proper Parliamentary debate or scrutiny, has not fostered any real confidence in the integrity of the current UK legislature.
Also, under the regulations of the current ‘second lockdown’ in England, the Right to Assemble and demonstration has lost its exemption status and has been made illegal. Also the leader of the Labour Party, Her Majesty’s Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, has called for dissent against vaccination to become a criminal offence; so very little defence of the Freedom of Speech there (https://dorseteye.com/labour-turns-on-anti-vaxxers-with-call-for-tough-measures/).
The UK Government has now authorised the use of the new and experimental Pfizer vaccine and announced it’s rapid roll out. Incredibly this vaccine has been apparently developed and deemed safe in 10 months. A process that would have normally have take at least 10 years (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55145696).
Along with this announcement the UK Government has also finally given a date for the debate of the concerns raised by the petition. This will take place on the 14th December and can be watches live on the UK Parliament’s YouTube channel:

With these two announcement that rate of those concerned by these developments has leaped again and now stands over 300,000 signatures.
Will this be enough for the members of the UK Parliament to take notice of the concerns expressed by all those who have signed this petition?
Only time will tell.
If you are a UK citizen and are also concerned to preserve your civil liberties and right of sovereignty over your own body, you can sign the petition here:

Hi @smiletobefree. Long time no see. You have brought up a very important question here about health freedom.
Personally I would not take the insufficiently tested vaccine that is now about to be used in some sort of desperation. There is no assurance about its safety. It can very well cause severe harm, for all that we know.
