Brazil Covid-19

Starting with Carnaval, Rio de Janeiro decides to introduce an Apartheid system and to ban non-vaccinated from all events

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – In South Africa, where Omicron was first detected, only 26% of the population is vaccinated, but the government has overcome the wave of cases within a short time period.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s statement said the number of deaths in all provinces of the country had increased only “marginally.” This is a sign that the wave subsided as quickly as it grew, leading to the government’s decision to lift restrictions such as nighttime curfews.

In South Africa, with 74% of the country unvaccinated, the low lethality of the virus cannot be attributed to vaccination, as Rio de Janeiro health officials want to make you believe, but to the evolution of the virus itself, which mutates into more benign variants, and to the long-term natural immunity of people.

But all this does not matter, does it?

Rio de Janeiro wants to control its population and that is what it will do if Cariocas do not stop the city officials

A surveillance state is a wonderful thing for those who are in power but actually are paid to serve us, at least in theory. For they can reverse the roles.

Instead of finding real solutions to a problem, they can force us to dance to their tune by allowing or denying us access to public services, as China has been doing for some time with its ‘Sesame’ social credit system.

Using the mild Omicron variant as a gateway, a digital passport can be introduced, the unvaccinated can be discriminated against, even though studies from Denmark, Germany, and other countries show that over 80% of Omicron infections occur among the vaccinated.

Recent data indicate that the epidemiological relevance of Covid-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing, writes the Lancet.

Today it is the unvaccinated who are pushed into the apartheid system, but once the population has accepted the principle, one can discriminate against any group that bothers these Officials.

APARTHEID MADE IN RIO DE JANEIRO

The Rio de Janeiro City Hall is preparing a restraint to prevent people who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 from taking part in all of the city’s events. The requirement is being prepared to broadly come into force in Carnaval.

The City Hall’s plan A is to promote a “Carnaval for the vaccinated.”

To this end, the vaccine passport will be required both for street blocks – which should become “enclosed celebrations” – and for parades at the Marquês de Sapucaí Sambadrome.

The city’s Health Secretary Daniel Soranz said that the plan is to follow what European countries have been doing in recent months, closing doors to non-vaccinated people. The goal is to demand a booster dose during Carnaval.

Why follow the Europeans, where riots, protests and clashes between police and protesters are the order of the day?

GERMANY PUBLISHED WRONG NUMBERS TO FEAR PEOPLE INTO OBEDIENCE

The German government is manipulating its population. Many who are counted as covid patients are not hospitalized for the disease. They are nevertheless included in the hospitalization rate so that the case numbers are artificially increased.

This is the result of an INSA survey for Germany’s BILD newspaper, one of the largest in the country. When asked whether they still trust the official infection figures, 57% answered no. Only 32% believe that the figures are correct.

If Rio de Janeiro absolutely has to follow someone, why not follow Florida, where there is no health apartheid, no forced vaccinations, discrimination, no government-sponsored disruption, no beating up of own citizens by police forces and where the economy is booming, and where many Americans want to move because of it, and where freedom still counts for something?
