It is amazing that the UK government (or, at least, a government committee) is getting involved in this case. He's been faced with accusations - not a trial, not definitive proof, just anonymous accusations about his behavior more than a decade ago - and government employees are immediately running around telling everyone to silence him.

I'm not normally conspiracy-minded, but some of these anonymous women seem to be saying the quiet part out loud: "Well, now that he's rebranded himself as a health guru, I felt I had to act."

In other words, maybe this is just a big game of Silence The Antivaxxer.

Yes... silence the wrong-thinker. Cancellation can be used against more than just those who express dangerous and deadly skepticism over the very safe and effective vaccine which is safe and effective which government experts assure us is safe and effective.

We are fortunate to live in times where today's compassionate global fascism will protect us all from ideas and speech that special blue ribbon panels of government-appointed specialists have deemed too hazardous for public consumption.

The fact that private entities cooperatively enforce government speech constraints just warms the very cockles of my heart.

The takeaway here is definitely that the vaccines are as you stated, not only safe but also effective. Safely effective and effectively safe they are.

The safety and effectiveness of the safe and effective vaccine, which is safe and effective, can never be overstated. Even suggesting otherwise posses a grave public health issue and threatens OurDemocracy®.
