Morally repugnant to accept risk of deaths or Long Covid for economic re-opening

 

Human Rights law establishes that the duty to protect life includes a requirement on states to take reasonable steps if they know (or ought to know) there is a real and immediate risk to life.
 
This cover government policy that rests on an acceptance that people will die.After all, the entire human rights framework was put in place to limit states from breaching rights.
 
This duty to protect applies not just to deaths. The severity of Covid-19, including the consequences of long Covid, meet this standard.If government policy can mitigate such consequences, human rights standards mandate that it should.
 
It is a breach of human rights standards and morally repugnant for politicians to cite "acceptable risk" for some to die - especially vulnerable old people - in exchange for economic re-opening.

Pegasus Spyware, produced by Israel under a "private" company NSO, is Spying on The whole World

 



Its advertising message innocently reads:

"World's foremost phone monitoring application designed to help you ensure your child's and your smartphone's safety."

A sweeping investigation conducted by 17 media outlets discovered that the NSO Group’s Pegasus software was used to hack into 37 smartphones belonging to human rights activists and journalists.

The phones were on a leaked list of numbers discovered by Paris journalism non-profit Hidden Stories and human rights group Amnesty International. The numbers on the list were singled out for possible surveillance by countries who are clients of NSO, which markets its spyware to governments to track their own citizens for potential terrorists and criminals.

Rich parents use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their children's activities and contacts in school.

MNCs and big private companies use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their employees.

Armed Forces use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their officers and soldiers.

COVID-19 Pandemic Task Forces around the world use the Pegasus spyware to trace potentially infected persons, by changing its name Pegasus to something else, eg TraceTogether.

Pegasus can extract all of a mobile device’s data, and activate the device’s microphone to listen in on conversations surreptitiously and secretly without the knowledge and permission of the owner.

The list of hacked journalists dates back to 2016 and includes reporters from the Post, CNN, the Associated Press, Voice of America, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, Le Monde, the Financial Times, and Al Jazeera.

In a statement emailed to The Verge on Sunday, the NSO spokesperson denied the claims.

“After checking their claims, we firmly deny the false allegations made in their report,” the statement continues.

The company is considering a defamation lawsuit, because it says “these allegations are so outrageous and far from reality.” This is understandable.

It would be exciting if the company really sues the 17 news outlets. Then more details can be obtained from NSO on its links with the Israeli government and intelligence organisations, as well as their modus operandi. At the very most the 17 news outlets might lose some money. However, the additional information obtained during the court proceedings from NSO would be immensely valuable for the whole World.

It’s not the first time NSO’s Pegasus spyware has been accused of being part of a globalised surveillance mission.

Between July and August 2020, the research organization "Citizen Lab" discovered that 36 phones belonging to Al Jazeera journalists had been hacked using the Pegasus technology, by hackers working for governments in the Middle East.

In 2019, WhatsApp sued the NSO Group, claiming that the Pegasus spyware was used to hack into users of WhatsApp’s Chat Service.

You should do more research into the Pegasus spyware and the NSO Group, and then draw your own conclusions.

The Cruel, Cold and Calculated Popularised Statement: The Benefits Outweigh The Risks



Oh, yes! The blood money is surely good by the crooks' standard. Every crook will say the benefits outweigh the risks. Otherwise, they won't be crooks.

Murderous Whitemen invading native lands and massacred millions of people, surely think that the benefits outweigh the risks.

The brutal rapists of India must have thought that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Bank robbers always think that the benefits outweigh risk, until they got arrested.

Those who visit prostitutes must have also thought that the benefits outweigh the risks, until they get AIDS.

To the money-making big Pharmas, the benefits of $billions from the sales of their vaccines surely outweigh the risks because they covered their arskholes by inserting a "No-Liability Clause" in their Sales/Purchase Contract.

To the cruel, cold, calculative and iron-hearted government leaders, the benefits outweigh the risks because they never think of their people as humans. They think of their people as mere digits. Therefore, the economy comes first. People can suffer or die from COVID-19, never mind. It's worth it to try out.

To those who aspire to become Singapore's next PM, I can visualise what's gone through their thinking when they tell us to live with COVID-19:

"I must be bold and daring enough to show people that I am the one they should choose as their leader to lead the country forward. I must open up the economy by hook or by crook. Some old folks will surely die. Never mind. Take this as collateral damage. The benefits outweigh the risks. No venture no gains....."

So, whoever tells you that the benefits outweigh the risks, do not regurgitate like a parrot. Use your brain to think for YOURSELF!

Think first before you copycat what others say.

Covid19 - Hungary and Serbia have Covid19 under control and living life as normal

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK4Sy4nqeho

3 countries have Covid19 under control, ie China, Hungary and Serbia. There is no need to wear mask in these countries. And they all used Chinese vaccines. So, are Chinese vaccines effective? Why no countries bragging about using western vaccines are able to do what these 3 countries are doing and allowing their people to live a free life without all the harsh and ineffective measures despite injecting themselves with so called 90% efficacy western vaccines.

Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia and a few other countries are also producing Chinese vaccines on licence from China and happily jabbing their people with Chinese vaccines.

On the other hand, the hate China western countries and their cronies are still smearing and trying to spread false and negative information about Chinese vaccines.

This is a 11 min video that talked about things that the western media would not want to say or acknowledge about the effectiveness of Chinese vaccines.

Living Harmoniously With COVID-19



The slightest moment you are off-guard, the Coronavirus knows it and exploits it to the fullest. You just can't be careless. You just can't be indifferent. You just can't be gangho. Let's face it, you just can't outsmart the Coronavirus. To illustrate:

On Saturday, 120 casualties.

On Sunday, 172 casualties.

On Monday, 195 casualties.

Tuesday, i.e. today's result will only be known tomorrow. I should think it would exceed 200.

Tomorrow is Racial Harmony Day.

There will be big celebrations everywhere, especially in primary schools and childcare centres.

These big celebrations will definitely make the COVID-19 coronavirus very happy. It is going to have an even bigger celebration and a bigger feasting!

After the big celebrations, the Racial Harmony will include Coronavirus Harmony. The casualties may increase to 400? This is called living harmoniously with COVID-19.

Stupidity has no cure.

The higher they are educated, the more stupid they become, where Coronavirus are concerned.

Still want the people to live with COVID-19?
