Costa Rica: Democracy Takes a Stand Against the Vax Junta
Rodrigo Chaves, the central protagonist in this drama, has been cast by Costa Rican media as a renegade. One paper spoke of how he “shook the country by eliminating the mandatory use of the mask and incidentally, questioning the demand for vaccination against COVID-19”. Immediately accused of “populism” by the media (because being for the people is supposedly the greatest of sins now), the government went on the defensive, but has also increasingly become more confident and aggressive.
Someone accustomed to seeing the world only through the prism of their home country’s affairs and personalities, might be forgiven for assuming that the President of Costa Rica had just been nominated an honorary trucker, and that the Freedom Convoy had just picked up its newest passenger. Others might remark on the interesting timing, that the Costa Rican President chose to make these bold declarations at the very same time that the world’s foremost cheerleader for “vaccine” mandates—Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—happened to be vacationing in Costa Rica itself.
These references are not what matter, but it might help some for whom “Costa Rica” is a distant, unknown, “Third World country,” to understand the situation in terms of equivalents. It’s as if the members of Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) had just been criminally charged, and faced arrest and possible imprisonment for years. It’s as if we learned that the members of NACI occupied those positions illegally. It’s as if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did more than just give speeches that his media opposition think are shocking, and formally laid charges against a public health board. It’s as if Trump, while president, had announced that Dr. Anthony Fauci occupied his position illegally, and that his statements broke the law. The comparisons are neither perfect nor exact, but they serve to give a sense of the size and impact of what is happening in Costa Rica today.
There is a lot to learn from Costa Rica, and all other nations of the world which have undergone the global shutdown of the past 2.5 years. For everyone interested in mandates, the law, government, the nature of democracy, social relations, and the operations of local technocrats allied to Big Pharma, Costa Rica right now occupies an important focus....
