We seriously need laws to protect people from being canceled, harassed, threatened, or fired because they stand for freedom of speech and are opposed to COVID. These people carrying out their agenda to silence all opposition are effectively no different than the Communists of the 1917 Revolution days. They are desperate to keep the fear alive so people will comply with the surrendering of all their rights, liberties, and privileges. The abuse is taking place among academics and in the medical profession — so much for the oath to do no harm.
In Sweden, Professor Jonas Ludvigsson, announced that he would stop all further research on Covid-19 after a campaign of abuse and harassment following his study on the low threat that the virus poses to children and teachers. The country is ramping up protections for academics to combat such canceling campaigns.
