The COVID-19 Response Inquiry Submissions (Vaccination Mandates)
A content analysis of the published submissions to Australia's COVID-19 Response Inquiry focusing on vaccination mandates.
A note to my subscribers, this is a long article consisting of screenshots of submissions to the COVID-19 Response Inquiry. It will be truncated by email providers. Please read it via Substack.
On 25 October 2024, the COVID-19 Response Inquiry Team (The Team) handed its Final Report (The Report) to Australia’s Prime Minister.
Predictably, The Report provided the template to “Build Back Better” for the soon-to-be monkeypox or bird-flu pandemic, or whatever zoonitic spillover event they are busily concocting at the Ministries of Health and Truth.
The Report is the culmination of a nearly year-long exercise in “roundtables” and “puzzle-solving” limited to the curated few invited to this presumably round table.
We had asked to participate, offering to extend our direct experience of vaccination mandates, discrimination and other absurd pandemic-era policies but were politely refused:
“Thank you for your interest in the COVID-19 Response Inquiry roundtables. Due to the high interest in the inquiry, and to ensure we can balance the need to capture the insights and ideas from a range of stakeholders with the sensitive nature of some discussions, participation at roundtables is limited. Given the above, we are unable to extend an invitation for you to participate in the sector roundtables.”
The rejection response we received suggested some degree of pre-determination regarding The Team’s conclusions.
Not that we were surprised.
Despite this extensive inquiry, prompting over +2000 submissions, the puzzle remains to be solved and The Report is drenched with meaningless business jargon like “moving forward” and other stupid platitudes.
In advance of the final publication of The Report, several dominant themes were disseminated to the legacy media. Aside from the obviously dishonest “we didn’t get ‘vaccines’ soon enough to save the millions from dying because they lacked the protection of the miracle elixir!”, The Team at least acknowledged the significant erosion in public trust following all levels of what we might call the “pandemic response”.
No agency or group was spared in this bleak assessment of truth-telling as shown in the submissions regarding:
The Experts;
Government at all levels;
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA);
The Bureaucracy;
The legacy media;
COVID-19 “vaccines”;
“Vaccines” in general; and,
The “health advice”.
Methodology
As we did in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series of articles, we performed a content analysis on the 1,814 submissions published and (formerly) downloadable as a .pdf attachments from the COVID-19 Response Inquiry’s webpage (the page is now “not found” though you can find an archived link here or where we have previously made these submissions available).
On this occasion, our analysis focused on identifying the prevalence of specific keywords associated with vaccination mandates including:
“mandat*” (using the wildcard ‘*’ to catch all variations of this keyword such as ‘mandate’, ‘mandates’, ‘mandatory’ or ‘mandated’);
“terminat*”;
“my employment”;
“sacked”;
“no jab”;
“stood down”;
“was suspended”;
“was employed”;
“dismissed” and,
“dismissal”.
The submissions discovered using these search terms were read in full and selected extracts were included in this article.
Due to this time-consuming approach and the sheer number of submissions, it is possible that we missed some accounts because these keywords were not mentioned in the submission.
Though other mandates were returned in our search results such as “mask mandates” and the “government mandate” for example, our analysis here focused solely on vaccination mandates which related to employment, interstate or overseas travel, hospital visits, or access to other restricted spaces.
The submissions in this article are a record of the authors’ direct personal experience of vaccination mandates, including those of their friends, family, colleagues or acquaintances.
We know that due to the extensive and often arbitrary redactions of many submissions, this may be an incomplete account of those submissions revealing the harmful impacts of vaccination mandates.
Additionally, as a result of such a disappointingly limited submissions window (approximately two weeks) in the weeks preceding Christmas 2023, even more stories about vaccination mandates will have been omitted from the public record. As a result, we will not have captured the scale and impact of vaccination mandates of countless others.
Nevertheless, we present the direct and harrowing impact of vaccination mandates in the 370+ of the 1,814 published submissions in the space below without further discussion or comment.
