The deceit of proponents of COVID-19 and the coercive enforcement of covid vaccines is rapidly losing appeal and substance across the world. Leaders in many European countries are beginning to come in terms with the realities of the COVID-19 propaganda and vaccine agenda and are beginning to reverse several pro-COVID actions towards restoring citizens’ rights and freedom. Accordingly, 12 countries in Western Europe have scrapped covid restrictions, with some of the countries redefining coronavirus as not as dangerous as was initially propagated to create non-existing fears that compelled lockdown of virtually all countries of the world.
The European countries that have so far lifted or scrapped COVID restrictions, as well as eradicating vaccine mandates include Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, France; the United Kingdom (UK) has also announced it will lift COVID restrictions; they are all on the path to open up their countries.
It was gathered that countries in Europe are now fast tracking actions to “roll back COVID restriction after “efforts to control the spread of the virus have failed”, degenerating into countries’ low rating of the “threat posed by SARS-CoV-2.”
Israeli, like Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, , Italy, Lithuania, France and the UK, has also announced the country is “abolishing the country’s “Greem Pass” COVID vaccine passport for restaurants, hotels, gyms and theaters.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennet had declared that the scrapping of restrictions and vaccine mandate will take effect on February 6, noting that it will be subject to approval by a parliamentary committee. The government, however, insisted that the proof-of-vaccination will remain in effect for events such as parties or weddings in Israel.
An epidemiologist and public health physician, Nadav Davidwitch, advising Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, had declared that “To continue the green pass in the same way can create false assurances.
“It’s not reducing infections in closed spaces like theatres. It needs to be used mainly for high-risk places like hospitals, elderly care homes, or events when you are eating and singing and dancing.”
The Swedish government had announced that “Sweden will lift all COVID restrictions on February 9.”
It was gathered that the Swedish Public Health Agency revealed that it reassessed COVID as “not being socially critical” due to a better understanding of the Omicron variant, which is milder and associated with fewer hospitalizations.
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, therefore, declared: “It’s time to open up Sweden.
“The pandemic isn’t over, but it is moving into a new phase.”
Switzerland, after citing high immunity levels and the milder Omicron variant, immediately declared the abolition of mandatory work-from-home and the quarantine rules. Switzerland also announced that the government will lift health measures at the borders; and that tourists will no longer need to receive Swiss COVID certificates.
The Swiss government further declared it intends to phase out other restrictions after consulting with 26 cantons, employers, trade unions and parliamentary committees.
The country may adopt staggered exit or an abrupt end to all COVID regulations on February 17.
Denmark was the first European country to lift all COVID restrictions, and reclassified coronavirus as an endemic disease but not a pandemic.
Health Minister Magnus Heunicke of Denmark had on February 1 written a letter to the parliament’s epidemiology committee indicating that COVID was no longer a “socially critical disease.”
Based on the recommendations of the committee, the government decided to scrap COVID restrictions.
According to Heunicke, the “rules will lapse when the illness will no longer be categorized as ‘socially critical’ on 1 February 2022.”
It was highlighted that “the classification of a disease as “socially critical” gave the government authority to implement broad restrictive measures such as shutting businesses and making mask-wearing mandatory.”
It was also highlighted that an endemic disease circulates freely but is recognized as posing less of a threat to societies.
Heunicke was cited to have declared on Monday: “No one can know what will happen next December.
“But we promised the citizens of Denmark that we will only have restrictions if they are truly necessary and we will lift them as soon as we can. That’s what’s happening right now.”
Heunicke also repudiated the need for vaccine mandates. According to the health Minister: “Luckily we don’t need that in Denmark … I’m really happy that we don’t need it because it’s a very troubling path to move that way.”
The Director-General of Denmark’s Health Authority, Søren Brostrøm, also collaborated on the health minister’s assertion, saying: “I do not believe in imposed vaccine mandates. It’s a pharmaceutical intervention with possible side effects. You need an authority to recognize that. I think if you push too much, you will have a reaction — action generates reaction, especially with vaccines.”
