Earlier in April, a doctor commented on a publication in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) titled "Do doctors have to have the covid-19 vaccine?". They weren't against vaccines in general, as the statement in their opening paragraph said that they've had more vaccines in their lifespan than most people. They proceeded to criticize the authoritarianism and medical tyranny running rampant throughout the medical establishment to force people into getting an experimental injection.
Here it is in full:
Dear Editor
I have had more vaccines in my life than most people and come from a place of significant personal and professional experience in relation to this pandemic, having managed a service during the first 2 waves and all the contingencies that go with that.
Nevertheless, what I am currently struggling with is the failure to report the reality of the morbidity caused by our current vaccination program within the health service and staff population. The levels of sickness after vaccination is unprecedented and staff are getting very sick and some with neurological symptoms which is having a huge impact on the health service function. Even the young and healthy are off for days, some for weeks, and some requiring medical treatment. Whole teams are being taken out as they went to get vaccinated together.
Mandatory vaccination in this instance is stupid, unethical and irresponsible when it comes to protecting our staff and public health. We are in the voluntary phase of vaccination, and encouraging staff to take an unlicensed product that is impacting on their immediate health, and I have direct experience of staff contracting Covid AFTER vaccination and probably transmitting it. In fact, it is clearly stated that these vaccine products do not offer immunity or stop transmission. In which case why are we doing it? There is no longitudinal safety data (a couple of months of trial data at best) available and these products are only under emergency licensing. What is to say that there are no longitudinal adverse effects that we may face that may put the entire health sector at risk?
Flu is a massive annual killer, it inundates the health system, it kills young people, the old the comorbid, and yet people can chose whether or not they have that vaccine (which had been around for a long time). And you can list a whole number of other examples of vaccines that are not mandatory and yet they protect against diseases of higher consequence.
Coercion and mandating medical treatments on our staff, of members of the public especially when treatments are still in the experimental phase, are firmly in the realms of a totalitarian Nazi dystopia and fall far outside of our ethical values as the guardians of health.
I and my entire family have had COVID. This as well as most of my friends, relatives and colleagues. I have recently lost a relatively young family member with comorbidities to heart failure, resulting from the pneumonia caused by Covid. Despite this, I would never debase myself and agree, that we should abandon our liberal principles and the international stance on bodily sovereignty, free informed choice and human rights and support unprecedented coercion of professionals, patients and people to have experimental treatments with limited safety data. This and the policies that go with this are more of a danger to our society than anything else we have faced over the last year.
What has happened to “my body my choice?” What has happened to scientific and open debate? If I don’t prescribe an antibiotic to a patient who doesn’t need it as they are healthy, am I anti-antibiotics? Or an antibiotic-denier? Is it not time that people truly thought about what is happening to us and where all of this is taking us?

However, six days later on April 8 the editor of the BMJ play warning at the top of the comment stating how it's been attributed in a misleading way on certain websites and social media as though it was an article in the BMJ. It was only a comment.
Important editorial notice for readers: This is a rapid response (online comment by a third party) and not an article in The BMJ. It is attributed in a misleading way on certain websites and social media. The Editor, 08/04/2021.
Four days later, on April 12, the comment was censored and deleted by the BMJ editor, stating:
Important editorial notice for readers: This rapid response has been removed as it was being used to spread misinformation and was attributed in a misleading way on certain websites and social media. The Editor, 12/04/2021.
Note that there is no mention that the comment contained misinformation. The issue with the comment was that it was actually being read, and posted in social media. People were sharing this comment that supported the exposure of the medical tyranny and coercion being forced on people. And this could not be allowed to continue.
This is how authorities in our society that are looked upon to be honest and representative of the truth, as being part of a scientific organization that claims to stand for truth, are actually behaving. They don't actually care about what's true. They don't actually care about letting people express their opinions. They want to control what people are allowed to consume his information. They want to control what truths people are allowed to attain. This is the state of the scientific established. Censorship.
Others commented on the censorship to point out how valid the comment was:
I was very saddened to see the removal of the Rapid Response by Dr Polyakova [1].
The letter was accepted for publication on 2nd April 2021. All responses are checked by BMJ editors before publication. It is therefore perplexing to know why this letter was acceptable prior to being shared on public media, yet 10 days later it was 'being used to spread misinformation'. I did not see any misinformation in the letter. Only a heartfelt description of staff concerned and under pressure.
These are troubling times as we see the push towards increased tyranny and the erosion of freedom and personal liberties based on lies about the alleged threat from a virus. And yet, so many are oblivious to what is going on. They can't see it. They don't want to see it. The 21st century, if continued this way, will mark the enslavement of humanity under a technocratic elite who want people to believe them, to trust them, as they know best and you are too stupid to think for yourself or make your own decisions.
