I remember the fear I felt about where the whipped-up atmosphere during the pandemic would lead.

Politicians, authorities, and the media fueled hatred against those who said no to the gene therapy. The public joined in. We were to be mapped out. We were worth nothing and should be excluded from society entirely. There was talk of mandatory vaccinations, and in Australia, camps were introduced. I often spoke with like-minded individuals about what we would do if coercion was implemented, where we might possibly hide. We stocked up on food and supplies. During this time, a very strong sense of community also developed among those of us who resisted. We became part of a large network that helped one another. I’ve never met so many new people as I did during this period – people who became close friends.

For us to move forward and for the wounds to heal, those responsible need to be held accountable. That is priority number one. We also need an apology, just as those who have been harmed or the relatives of those who died do. Unfortunately, I feel that trust in other people has taken a significant hit. People behaved terribly, and it’s something I will never forget. Sadly, it seems this is how most people function: they follow the herd and act according to the current narrative without any moral considerations.
