Even in Authoritarian Russia the Vaccine is a CHOICE

While in America the Biden administration and Democrat politicians from senators to small-town mayors push vaccine mandates, in Russia, people are experiencing actual freedom. At LewRockwell.com, Paul Craig Roberts explains the four Russian vaccines, and the stance of Russian President Vladimir Putin on his citizens taking them. Roberts writes (abridged):

The first two are vector vaccines based on two strains of live human adenoviruses. DNA virus vector technology is used to introduce genetic information into the cells, similar to the Oxford vaccine.  Experts I consulted expect these vaccines to have similar adverse events as the Oxford vaccine.

The third vaccine uses short protein sequences and no genetic information.

The fourth vaccine is traditional or classic vaccine technology using inactivated virus.

The last two would be much safer than the mRNA “vaccines.”

I don’t have any information about the protective performance of the two safer vaccines.

Unlike Biden and the totalitarian Western politicians, Russian President Putin has left vaccination as an individual’s choice.  He has said that vaccination is the way to control the virus, but that it is a personal choice.

The question is why does Putin think vaccination is the solution?  Is there no adverse vaccine effect database in Russia, or is it understated and ignored as in the West?  Has no one told Putin about the successful use of Ivermectin in India to control the virus?  Has Putin not been told that the Tokyo Medical Society has endorsed Ivermectin?  The same questions can be asked about heads of other governments.

Both HCQ and Ivermectin can be used as preventatives as well as cures.  They are much cheaper than the vaccines and have been in use for decades.  They are so safe that in many countries they are over-the-counter purchases like aspirin.

Paul Craig Roberts, a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, has been reporting shocking cases of prosecutorial abuse for two decades. A new edition of his book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, co-authored with Lawrence Stratton, a documented account of how Americans lost the protection of law, has been released by Random House.
