LAST WEEK TOKELAU AND NOW TONGA…
COMPULSORY CV V FOR ALL TONGA ADULTS….AND CHILDREN
Tonga is set to introduce compulsory inoculation against coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
A Bill to amend the Public Health Act to enforce inoculation of the Public against COVID-19, was among seven Bills that government tabled into parliament yesterday morning 3 August.
A new Emergency Powers Clause 181A of the Public Health Act, states that it will be a crime for anybody to refuse to be vaccinated against the virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2).
Parents will also be held responsible if their children refuse to be inoculated.
It proposes that offenders will be fined not more than $1000 or jailed for not more than six months.
After the first reading of the amendment Bill in Legislature it was carried with 17-0 votes.
This Bill will be submitted to the Standing Committee on Social Services for deliberation, before it is resubmitted to parliament for its final reading.
The full details of the amendment bill have not been released to the public (the full text was not read out), and it was not immediately clear if exemptions would be made for pregnant women, children and people with medical conditions, allergies or frailities and others.
EWR comment: one nation at a time isn’t it? All at once would bring revolt. With each of these moves come additional loss of freedoms, one bit at a time. It’s called gradualism and a characteristic tactic of Fabian Socialist takeover. “Sneak up on people, then hit hard. Never slow down your reforms or deviate or all your waiting has been in vain”.
