Swiss Police Threaten to Stop Enforcing COVID-19 Rules

Police in Switzerland have threatened to stop enforcing COVID-19 rules because the measures are disproportionately undermining the fundamental rights of citizens.

Police in Switzerland have threatened to stop enforcing COVID-19 rules over fears that the measures are disproportionately undermining the fundamental rights of citizens.

A group representing police officers in the Alpine country wrote a letter to the Swiss Federation of Police Officers (FSFP) warning of potential insubordination within the force over the enforcement of draconian laws.

“If the measures were to conflict with the general opinion of the population, disproportionately limiting their fundamental rights, many police officers would no longer be willing to apply them,” the group wrote in the letter.

While the letter was received favorably by lockdown skeptics, the FSFP attempted to dismiss it by claiming it only represented a small number of police officers.

Adrian Gaugler of the Conference of Cantonal Police Commanders went further, threatening the officers with sanctions if they refused to enforce the measures.

“An officer who refuses to enforce the law can be punished,” said Gaugler.

UK: Food Shortages Loom due to Shortage of Truck Drivers

UK: In June, Nationwide Produce warned that fresh produce destined for UK supermarkets was being dumped due to a shortage of about 100,000 truck drivers, hampering deliveries of food from warehouses to supermarkets. The shortage is being blamed on foreign nationals who were drivers from European countries but returned to the EU after Brexit. Also, about 45,000 HGV driving tests were lost last year, and few British truck drivers were trained within the past 12 months due to Covid lockdowns. The shortage may be used as an excuse to bring more immigrants into the UK. -GEG

The lorry driver shortage crisis first grabbed headlines in early June when major distributor Nationwide Produce warned that fresh produce destined for UK supermarkets was being dumped due to a shortage of drivers.

The logistics industry, which retailers – especially grocers – rely on to transport goods to stores or warehouses, is facing an estimated shortfall of around 100,000 HGV drivers.

Hauliers have blamed the shortage on a large proportion of drivers being foreign nationals from European countries who had returned to the EU after Brexit.

This was combined with truck drivers not being included on the UK Government’s list of skilled labour, leaving new arrivals needing immigration paperwork.

In addition, Covid-19 had seen no new British truck drivers trained within the past 12 months, while changes in the rules of self-employment had led to a 25 per cent increase in agency driver charges.

BRC food and sustainability director Andrew Opie previously said that retailers were aware of a fall in HGV driver numbers and were working with their suppliers to ensure that consumers still have the same selection of fresh produce.

CDC Director Admits she was Wrong When she Said 99% of Covid Deaths are among the Unvaxed

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted during a press briefing last week that her claim that over 99% of Covid patients dying in hospitals were unvaccinated was false. The CDC’s data showed the number of Covid patient in-hospital deaths in May were 15% among the vaccinated, not 0.5% as they all claimed — which is 30x higher than they stated. She told a CNN reporter that the 99% number came from data “from analyses in several states from January through June” and did not reflect the latest data. Those who are calling out false statements such as this are being banned by the media. The Federation of State Medical Boards is trying to silence doctors for telling the truth by threatening to pull their medical licenses if they step out of line from the official line. ‘GEG

Transcript:

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: Several of you and the President have repeatedly cited figures saying that 99 percent of those who die from COVID-19 are unvaccinated and 95 percent, around that, are hospital- — who are hospitalized are unvaccinated. With the Delta variant, do you still stand by these numbers, and do you have government data to back them up?

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky: Yes, thank you for that question, Kaitlan.

So those data were data that were from analyses in several states from January through June and didn’t reflect the data that we have now from the Delta variant. We are actively working to update those in the context of the Delta variant. I do want to reiterate, though, that based on the data we’re seeing — and we don’t have fully updated numbers — universally, as we look at our hospitalizations and as we look at our deaths, they are overwhelmingly unvaccinated people.

From Information Liberation:

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted during a press briefing last week that her claim that over 99% of covid patients dying in hospitals were unvaccinated was a load of crap.

The claim, which was also echoed by Anthony Fauci, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and other top officials, was shown to be a lie by the CDC’s own data released by the Washington Post on July 29. The CDC’s data showed the number of covid patient in-hospital deaths in May were 15% among the vaccinated, not 0.5% as they all claimed — which is 30x higher than they stated.

Tdespite their rapidly waning protection.

After being questioned Thursday on the 99% number by a CNN reporter, Walensky said that “those data were data that were from analyses in several states from January through June and didn’t reflect the data that we have now from the Delta variant.”

In other words, to get the 99% number they not only cherry-picked data from what ever states they wanted but they included data from January when covid deaths were at their peak and less than 10 percent of Americans had even taken the vaccine. Additionally, they excluded the most recent data showing the vaccines’ protection was waning!

What an astonishing act of fraud!
