As the Finnish government pushes another experimental vaccine, many are having flashbacks of 2021.
Finnish authorities have decided to push a new, experimental vaccine on its population, in a move reminiscent of the Covid vaccine rollout in 2021.
This is despite the Nordic country having zero cases of humans being infected with the new “bird flu.”
Finland plans to distribute 10,000 doses to its test subjects, people that are considered “high risk” and work closely with animals, as was reported by Reuters.
Similar to the initial rollout of the Covid vaccine, the bird flu vaccine is not mandatory at this time. However, many people fear that Western governments, including the Justin Trudeau government in Canada, will eventually opt to make the vaccine mandatory.
One X (Twitter) user speculated that there “will be mandatory jabs next year once the pandemic treaty is in place and the planned bird flu pandemic takes off.”
The Canadian prime minister initially ruled out Covid vaccine passports, calling them “divisive” back in early 2021, as was reported by Global News.
People worried about mandatory Covid vaccinations were initially dismissed as “conspiracy theorists.” That was until the Liberal government changed course later that same year, and made mandatory vaccination part of its 2021 election platform.
The Trudeau government has yet to issue an official statement on mandatory bird flu vaccines, however the publicly funded broadcaster CBC has already started sounding the alarm on the virus.
The Government of Canada has published several reports on the bird flu, known as H5N1, on its official website. “H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)… continues to spread across the globe,” according to a recent article published by the country’s food inspection agency.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has yet to issue a statement on the potential of mandatory bird flu vaccination. However, he has previously vowed to not impose any sort of vaccine mandates on Canadians if he wins the election in 2025.
