A new study out this month in the peer-reviewed journal PNAS looked at 19 states that imposed a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and found the following:
“Results showed that COVID-19 vaccine adoption did not significantly change in the weeks before and after states implemented vaccine mandates, suggesting that mandates did not directly impact COVID-19 vaccination.”
The researchers also used the natural experiment that occurred in the U.S. to compare states that prevented those requirements and thereby functioned to protect individuals’ freedom over the decision to receive a vaccination. The researchers wrote:
“Compared to states that banned vaccine restrictions, however, states with mandates had lower levels of COVID-19 booster adoption as well as adult and child flu vaccination, especially when residents initially were less likely to vaccinate for COVID-19.”
The researchers concluded:
This research supports the notion that governmental restrictions in the form of vaccination mandates can have unintended negative consequences, not necessarily by reducing uptake of the mandated vaccine, but by reducing adoption of other voluntary vaccines.
For most, hopefully, at this point, such information was, and still is, common sense and a naturally intuitive reflex. And for the rest of the population, now it’s scientific!
Even Dr. Fauci knew overarching COVID shot mandates were an ongoing failure (but pushed it with every breath he could muster). During closed-door testimony in front of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic last month, he was forced to admit the following:
It’s important to reflect here on the depths government, media, celebrities, influencers, and public health officials went to push these COVID shots behind such authoritarian medical mandates. The ideals of informed consent and medical choice took a big hit during the failed COVID response but they’re still standing and back stronger than ever in the hearts and minds of populations.
Outside the scope of this article, yet worth reminding here, that alongside these Nuremberg-code violating COVID mandates ran the largest top-down government cyber censorship-industrial complex attempting to eliminate all speech, thoughts, and conversation, wherever it was found online, that would have hurt vaccine uptake (even when it was true)….and this entire COVID shot-pushing edifice failed spectacularly.
To summarize, the COVID vaccine mandates were such a monumental, century-defining error, they have caused people to, rightfully so, question all vaccination…or to be hesitant.
As WHO director Tedros takes his 2024 misinformation tour to global government podiums around the world explaining why people who don’t want his organization’s new pandemic treaty are bad, it’s important to remember certain points.
In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified vaccine hesitancy as one of its top ten threats to global health. His organization fully supported vaccine mandates [and lockdowns, social distancing, school closures, etc.]. The WHO flow chart goes like this:
2019 Vaccine hesitancy is a top global threat
2021 Vaccine mandates are good, it’s the only way to end the pandemic
2023 Whoops, our recommended vaccine mandates lead to greater vaccine hesitancy
2024 Sign over national sovereignty so we can (recommend) imposing more mandates next time
Forcing/mandating liability-free, injectable products with known safety issues from multinational pharmaceutical corporations who’ve paid billions in criminal penalties for shady business and ethical dealings weren’t just found to be a failure during COVID.
A 2016 study performed by experts from the ASSET project found no evidence of a relationship between mandatory vaccinations and rates of childhood immunization in European countries.
Specifically, the ASSET project stated:
From 2007 to 2013, the enforcement of mandatory vaccinations does not appear to be relevant in determining childhood immunisation rate in the analysed countries. Those where a vaccination is mandatory do not usually reach better coverage than neighbour or similar countries where there is no legal obligation.
Meanwhile, in 2018, the European Forum for Vaccine Vigilance released its Vaccine Safety Report for members of the European Parliament. The report concluded:
Research data and opinion of respected experts in science and medicine clearly demonstrate a culture of dishonesty surrounding the subject of vaccination and a practice of deceit, designed to mislead on a global scale. Because of that deceit, vaccination programs may be implemented resulting in wasting of precious financial resources, failing to protect citizens and increase their chance of disease, morbidity and in some cases, mortality. Until overseeing bodies that set healthcare policy within governments retain experts without affiliation to the vaccination industry and/or financial gain from said industry and ensure untainted, true, evidence based policy, then the corruption will continue costing lives, ill health and significant financial loss.
Outside the pages of scientific journals and reports, the real-world results of the failed COVID vaccine mandates rammed through by public health officials are now on the surface, coursing through the streets, and in the halls of schools and hospitals around the world for all to see.
In England, the media-coined ‘frontline heroes’ of the NHS were some of the first wave of people to be hit with the mandates. Remember, those who eventually refused were shunned and excommunicated from their profession instantly losing their ‘hero’ sticker from the media.
The latest data from the UK government tracking COVID-19 vaccine uptake in frontline healthcare workers shows that around 70% of all frontline healthcare workers refused the COVID booster vaccine in 2023/24.
Meanwhile, in Ontario Canada, schools are reporting that 18,000 and 10,000 elementary and high school students respectfully, face suspension for not having up-to-date vaccine records. Ontario doesn’t mandate the COVID shot so that means parents are choosing to not get their kids vaccinated for routine shots. Another consequence of Dr. Fauci, Trudeau, and the endless stream of government officials who drove home shot mandates during the pandemic?
The National Vaccine Information Center’s advocacy portal, who track all the vaccine-related legislation active in America shows a cooling off of hard vaccine mandates (COVID or otherwise) being put forth in most states. Is this a signal that the Big Pharma-influenced legislatures have received the memo to back off for the moment?
However, there is still an alarming push to lower the age of consent to vaccination without parental consent or often knowledge. In addition, bills are attempting to build tracking systems and allow other professions like, dentists, pharmacists, and podiatrists to become vaccinators.
With informed consent and medical freedom now supercharged in the unwavering minds of most populations after the failed vaccine mandates by governments, the next move will be crucial. In past situations where people organized and activated in such a manner, government opposition usually released…let go…stood down – an Aikido-like move to allow the natural energy of a movement to fizzle out.
However, opposition to forced/mandated vaccines is deep-rooted. New genetic ‘vaccine’ technology is being purposely engineered with a prime feature to bypass informed consent. Although still in the experimental stages, typical players like Johns Hopkins, DARPA, and the NIH have bought in. Humanity cannot afford to go back to business as usual in the face of an emboldened global medical system still seeking to consolidate power in the wake of its failed COVID response.
Excellent article, Jeferey. Your point is the same one I made in a Substack article 11 months ago - e.g. the effort to reduce or eliminate "vaccine hesitancy" created unprecedented numbers of people who are now hesistant about receiving any or every "vaccine." This, to me, is another example of The Law of Opposite Effects exerting itself. I think this is actually one of the great silver linings of our "New Normal" Covid times.
FWIW, the same Law suggests that the effort of our rulers to receive even greater control (by expanding the Censorship Industrial Complex) will probably also backfire at some point. Per the Law of Opposite Effects, our rulers will end up losing the power and control that's so important to them.

It Time for TERRAIN: I see the most effective weapon against the self-spreading vaccine depopulation agenda, is to finally crush the mythology of vaccines in a court of Law.
It's more important than ever that we push for a legal decision establishing viruses as a fictional model that has never been proven to exist. Over that past century vaccines have been promoted as snake-oil medicine as a creature of Rockefeller's allopathic medicine.
Contrary to Del Bigtree's claim that nobody tells him what to say or promote, it now appears that he's been captured by his wealthy donor class to make sure no Terrain practitioner is ever invited as a guest on the show. It's been 3.5 years since Dr. Andrew Kaufman was rushed off the stage for explaining Koch's Postulates and never invited back.
Look at recent substack comments nearly everwhere to see the growing number of derisive comments directed at Del, Peter McCullough and others in the so-called "Health Freedom" group, for ignoring the easily proven virology pseudoscience.
Since there's no need for Vaccines when no viruses exist, we need to take this truth to the highest courts as Dr. Stefan Lanka did in Germany, in order to "legally" disprove the existence of the measles virus. Today, we can also "legally" disprove the existence of all viruses. Let Aaron Siri do the job, I'll gladly $upport it.
Exposing virology as corporate pseudoscience stands the best chance of breaking the back of the Vaccine-Industrial Complex to cause a global collapse of this illegal drug mafia that can no longer be distinguished from a Mexican drug cartel. -- We now have over 10,000 signatures on the "statement of Virus Isolation" website - S.O.V.I. - https://andrewkaufmanmd.com/sovi/
Also available are Dr's. Sam and Mark Bailey's more than 200 Videos. Most of them explain why diseases are not caused by so-called "viruses". Invite the Baileys' onto the Highwire to announce their new book, "The Last Pandemic" - http://tinyurl.com/myx57tvr
If Del can invite a guest to talk about chemtrails, why is he ignoring the virology pseudoscience elephant in the room?. There's a tsunami of awakening on the virolgy myth happening right now. The Highwire has a big voice. Educate your audience with all the facts and stop the cherry-picking.
