Vaccine critic claims government will provoke war

n opponent of vaccine mandates has raised the prospect of civil war in Canada if governments don’t stop making life more difficult for the unvaccinated. James Davison, an administrator of the Stand United Facebook page, made the comment at a January 8 rally outside the Global TV B.C. station in Burnaby. “Our best bet to avoid them taking it to the next level is to hold them accountable,” Davison declared. “That’s our best weapon right now. Because if we can’t succeed legally—if we can’t succeed now, legally—then we are going to be in a civil-war situation. That is a fact. “That’s where this is leading to, because they will round us up,” he warned the

crowd of about 250. “They will put us in an institution, call us whatever they want, demonize us however they want to through these organizations like Global News, CTV, CityNews, News 1130. It’s programming. “And at this point in time, all you can do is try to handle this professionally—at this point in time,” Davison emphasized. “It’s not time, here right now in Canada, to take it to the next level. We don’t want to start with the vandalizing and, you know, tipping over things and making a mess of our country. But I’ll tell you: at this point we’re at right now, the damage is done.” Several people in the movement opposing mRNA vaccines have made no secret that they are firearms owners, including

A crowd of about 250 antivaccine protesters gathered on January 8 outside Global TV B.C.’s studios in Burnaby to hear organizers and speakers blame media for pandemic restrictions.

Davison, who’s an administrator of the Stand United Facebook page. On December 22, he posted video on Facebook of himself firing at a target range. At the rally, he expressed the hope that governments and employers can be discouraged from taking measures against those who refuse COVID-19 vaccines through notices of liability. These notices warn officials that they will be held legally liable for any actions they take against “freedom of anatomy”. In addition, Davison urged the crowd to send these notices to people who work in the media to hold them accountable for what he believes is misreporting. The mRNA vaccines, such as those manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna, teach cells to make proteins that trigger an immune response. One of the earliest researchers, Robert Malone, has criticized their use on children, which has galvanized opponents of mRNA vaccines, including Davison. Malone has come under criticism by others, such as the Atlantic magazine writer Tom Bartlett, for “spreading vaccine misinformation”. “They’re using the media, the mainstream media, to twist the minds of all of these impressionable people that have been brought up to trust the government,” Davison said. “We’re Canadians. Okay. We trusted our government because we were educated to. It’s called indoctrination.” According to Davison, there’s a deliberate attempt underway by the elites to trash the economy, which will justify officials showing up at people’s doors and confiscating their property. He said that this drift into tyranny has begun with a medical passport. Next, he said, the government will introduce a “credit-social score”. Then, he added, these two methods of government surveillance will be attached to the use of currency. “So, okay, you can’t participate in 4

If it wasn’t for the media…it would have been another flu season. – James Davison

society but now you can’t buy, sell, or trade anything because we’re cutting you off of your money,” Davison said. That elicited a strong reaction from the crowd, with one shouting “the number of the beast”. “That’s right,” Davison continued. “It’s called Revelations here. This is called Biblical crap. And if you people don’t wake up and fight now, you’re not going to have anything to fight for later. This is why it’s so important that we use the tools we have in place now.” He emphasized that under Canada’s Constitution, the government cannot force anyone to put anything in their body. Moreover, to him, COVID-19 is just another case of the flu, but it’s being used to justify extraordinary measures that will take away people’s liberties. “If it wasn’t for the media, this would have never affected any of us,” Davison claimed. “It would have been another flu season. And you know what? Some people die every year from the flu.” Statistics Canada has reported that there were 874 flu deaths from 2009 to 2019 (according to a CTV News report), whereas the B.C. government has reported more than 2,400 COVID-19 deaths since March 2020. g
