US psychiatrist, medical and bioethics expert, and former University of California professor, Dr Aaron Kheriaty, says that nowadays it doesn’t matter so much what one’s political views are or which party one supports. “The real division today is no longer left/right, liberal/conservative, or even Democrat/Republican. It is between those who will accept a technocratic biosecurity surveillance regime and those who will resist,” he says.
What does he mean by such a regime? If we look at the behaviour of the authorities all around the world during the Covid crisis, we can take a pretty good guess.

These passports were the cornerstone of a system that deprived people who did not agree to take hastily produced Covid vaccines of the possibility to move freely in public spaces, use public transport or other public services. In most countries they were not even allowed to make a living as their employers introduced vaccine mandates.
