 >"There is increasing evidence that vaccinated individuals continue to have a relevant role in transmission....People who are vaccinated have a lower risk of severe disease but are still a relevant part of the pandemic. It is therefore wrong and dangerous to speak of a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Historically, both the USA and Germany have engendered negative experiences by stigmatising parts of the population for their skin colour or religion. I call on high-level officials and scientists to stop the inappropriate stigmatisation of unvaccinated people, who include our patients, colleagues, and other fellow citizens, and to put extra effort into bringing society together."((Günter Kampf, "COVID-19: stigmatising the unvaccinated is not justified," //The Lancet//, November 20, 2021. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02243-1/fulltext)) >"There is increasing evidence that vaccinated individuals continue to have a relevant role in transmission....People who are vaccinated have a lower risk of severe disease but are still a relevant part of the pandemic.

 +In one of [[operation_uplift:must_read_substacks|Margaret Anna Alice]]'s [[https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/wake-up-toolkit#%C2%A7dissident-dialogues|dissident dialogues]] series', letters are exchanged exploring how the rhetoric against the unvaccinated meets the 4th stage of genocide: dehumanization. See the [[https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dissident-dialogues-margaret-anna-02|second post]] for many examples.
