COVID-19 vaccines express discriminatory attitudes toward unvaccinated people, a new study of over 15,000 citizens of 21 countries across the world suggests.
"Individuals who comply with the advice of health authorities morally condemn the unvaccinated for violating a social contract in the midst of a crisis," two Denmark-based scientists wrote in their paper, published Thursday in
Nature. "Those who refuse vaccines report that they feel discriminated and pressured against their will."
To measure COVID-19 vaccination status-based prejudice, researchers asked some 15,233 people how they feel if a close relatives of theirs are going to marry a vaccinated or unvaccinated person โ
a question that has long been used in surveys on discrimination along racial, ethnic, or partisan lines.Specifically, participants were presented with brief descriptions of a series of fictitious individuals and asked to imagine that these are people whom one of their close relatives intends to marry. They were shown two profiles at a time, side by side, and asked to rate each profile by saying whether they agree or disagree with statements such as, "I would be unhappy if this person married one of my close relatives," and "I think this person is untrustworthy."
One of the six attributes describing these targeted individuals has been their COVID-19 vaccination status, randomly varying between "fully vaccinated" and "unvaccinated." The other attributes were age, occupation, hobbies, personality, and "family background," which distinguished between people "born and raised in [the respondent's country]" and people who "immigrated from the Middle East."
The FindingsAcross six countries โ Germany, India, Indonesia, Morocco, South Africa, and the United Kingdom โ selected to represent both affluent Western and developing non-Western nations, the unvaccinated were found to be disliked among vaccinated people (14 percentage points) as much as people with drug addiction (15 percentage points), and significantly more so than people who had been in prison (10 percentage points), atheists (7 percentage points), or people with mental illness (6 percentage points).
In addition,
the overall dislike of the unvaccinated among vaccinated people (13 percentage points) was found to be two and a half times greater than that of Middle Eastern immigrants (5 percentage points). In fact, according to the paper, unvaccinated people face significantly more hostility than immigrants even in 10 countries that are deemed unfriendly to immigrants. Interestingly, discriminatory attitudes against unvaccinated Middle Eastern immigrants were found to be just as strong as those toward unvaccinated natives.
By contrast, researchers found that
the unvaccinated respondents on average showed almost no discriminatory attitudes toward the vaccinated."The results demonstrate that prejudice is mostly one-sided," the authors wrote. "Only in [the] United States and Germany do we find that the unvaccinated feel some antipathy towards the vaccinated. But even here we do not find statistical evidence in favor of negative stereotyping or exclusionary attitudes."
"The observation that vaccinated individuals discriminate against those who are unvaccinated, but that there is no evidence for the reverse, is consistent with work on the psychology of cooperation," said leading author Alexander Bor, a political psychologist at the George Soros-funded Central European University (CEU).
A Psychological ExplanationSuch prejudice can be explained by a psychological mechanism against "free-riding," according to the study. In other words, a highly polarized and moralized sentiment surrounding COVID-19 vaccination activated this mechanism in vaccinated people, causing them to see those who refuse to get the jabs as morally-failed "free riders" of a collective effort.
This might also explain why the unvaccinated face stronger prejudice in cultures that have deeper cooperative dilemmas. "Vaccinated individuals in cultures with stronger cooperative norms are shown to react more negatively against those who are unvaccinated," Bor said in a CEU
news release.
"In the short run, prejudice towards the unvaccinated may complicate pandemic management. In the long run, it may mean that societies leave the pandemic more divided than they entered it," the authors concluded, arguing that authorities should avoid using moralistic rhetoric that could fuel deep animosity between citizens during a "social crisis."
The study was based on data collected between Dec. 3, 2021, and Jan. 28, 2022, from 21 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each country was represented by at least 500 adults, quota-sampled to match its population in age, gender, and region of residence.
Researchers said they intentionally excluded the poorest countries where COVID-19 vaccines were not yet widely available to the public.

My understanding is they are one of the least vaccinated continents for this reason.
The vaxxed were more susceptible to the "follow the science" propaganda. This means they are group-think, hive mind followers. They have lost the ability to critically evaluate knowledge about immunity or the meaning of vaccine.
The survey would be more meaningful if it examined beliefs about the government, media, health experts, and social engineering. What would they find? The vaxxed trusted and believed that these agents of death, were "saving" them from death.
perhaps the psychological mechanism is "conditioning" or "programming" to which the majority of the population is easily influenced to one degree or another.
i further suggest that SOTT readers are teflon coated against this "conditioning".
Please accept my best wishes and heartfelt concerns as you blindly trundle along on your fools' errand. I hope you never suffer ill effects nor win the game of Clottery Roulette you've been conned into playing in your lives and the lives of those around you.
The House needs a good s.c.r.u.b.

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart.
Thanks for the share.

I thought about this. Discrimination does not cover the entire range of possible responses. For me, due to those injected family members and "former" close friends who have since treated us so hurtfully, it has severed relations permanently. I do not discriminate, I look down in disdain. It is difficult to have a decent conversation with someone whom I consider that stupid. And I mean ordinary conversations, not necessarily about the scam. My social circle has completely changed.
Many common (mediocre ?) people just can't stand it to be confronted with someone stronger or more capable - including mentally.
There are plenty of examples when neighbours, wokr mates of other citizens sabotaged any one trying to achieve something special, or to be successful. A behavior that seemed supported by communist government and the latest WEF minions, to keep the population under control by self-regulation through the least common denominator.
Just my theory.
Except the famous Black Knight perhaps : [Link]
And I know, it's not really funny if it is family.
I too have great disdain for the ignorance and stupidity of the VAXXED...Now I just say, adios. I have a great rock band called Pebble Rebel I created and we rehearse weekly in at my home studio, and several of the members are vaxxed, but refuse to get anymore. We never debate these issues but daily the fellows see my numerous posts, and know my thoughts on the death jabs.
On a family note, only grandma my wifes mom refused to see us for 2 years cause we are not vaxxed....recently she relented and came out to a birthday dinner with us.
The only intense time with the newest member came over a FB post re Trump. He called me and immediately demanded to know if I was a Trump supporter. I said this band does not speak to 'politics'....He said I am speaking to you not the band. To avoid conflict ( cause good bass players are hard to find) I said hmm... my choice for USA president would be DeSantis. He replied, good cause I dumped great friends cause they supported Trump. Hmmm...I thought, a rapid fanatic, ha ha.
She is one of the few I respect. My sister's family has been jabbed inside and out. What is so interesting is that my nephew's wife, who has been jabbed three times already, has just had a baby and she has been breastfeeding the whole time. The baby is OK, I hope she stays healthy.
For anyone out there who needs help with detoxing of the jab, here is a link for Fenbendazole [Link] fenbendazole.org

Anyone ๐คช ๐ stupid enough as to get jabbed is I believe now beyond common sense and have become lacklustre individuals who are now desperately seeking justification for their own illguided actions.
I'm Paganistic by belief and this is Yule time, so I extend my Seasons greetings LM.
