My email to the Australian Human Rights Commissioner (20.10.2021).
Dear Commissioner,
I am a philosopher of ethics. My current research-focus is on vaccine mandates. I have published a paper in the BMJ on this topic: https://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2021/02/25/medethics-2020-107026
I have contacted several professional associations and regulatory agencies (including SIRA, Australian Department of Health, Mr Gavrielatos at SafeWork NSW, Australian Medical Association, and Safe Work Australia) with two, very basic, ethically and legally relevant questions about a possible conflict between Covid-19 vaccine mandates and workplace safety. I have received only generic responses; not one agency, association or person contacted has explicitly answered my questions, which were formulated as follows:
1. Do you acknowledge that Covid vaccination occasionally causes death of healthy people, even if the overall outcome benefits most people?
2. If yes, do you acknowledge that when an employee is required to receive Covid vaccination as a condition of employment, that employee is in effect required to participate in an activity where some percentage of employees are expected to die as a direct result of their mandatory participation?
I find it extremely concerning that all the agencies responsible for workplace safety and health of the Australian people are tacitly refusing to answer such fundamental and legally critical questions about workplace safety. I further charge that if the answer to both of the above questions is YES, then Covid-19 vaccination mandates violate the right to life by knowingly faccilitating the killing of some people for the benefit of the majority.
If you agree that the tacit refusal by the Department of Health and Safe Work Australia to answer the above questions implies their understanding that a truthful answer would be incriminating, could you please formally intervene to remedy this violation of the right to life?
Regards,
Michael Kowalik

Ethics of vaccine refusal
Proponents of vaccine mandates typically claim that everyone who can be vaccinated has a moral or ethical obligation to do so for the sake of those who cannot be vaccinated, or in the interest of public health. I evaluate several previously undertheorised…
I will never shop at Woolworths again (including brands Dan Murphy’s, BWS, Cellarmasters, and Jimmy Brings). I will never fly Qantas or buy anything from SPC.
I have persuaded BMJ Publishing to make my article “Ethics of Vaccine Refusal” available temporarily for FREE under their coronavirus research scheme.

Holocaust survivors are comparing Covid Vaccination to the Holocaust and ask the International Criminal Court to intervene before this ongoing crime against humanity is complete. https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/We-For-Humanity-letter-to-ICC-20.9.2021.pdf
I have designed a good chunk of A380 (I have a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering and have worked for 2 years at Airbus on this project). I would not be able to do so under the current restrictions, only because I refuse to submit to medical coercion to irreversibly augment my healthy immune system. The same prohibition applies to pilots and cabin crews who choose to preserve their innate, biological characteristics and not to give up their right to uncoerced medical consent, but does not apply to members of parliament who tacitly support this crime.
The latest U.K. Covid-19 Surveillance Report shows that Vaccinated adults are twice as likely to be infected with Covid, and therefore more likely to spread it and more likely to serve as petri-dishes for new Covid mutations than the Unvaccinated. Protect the vulnerable; do not take the vaccine! https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1027511/Vaccine-surveillance-report-week-42.pdf
This is a good one to use if some bigoted shop, school, library or cafe would refuse you entry on the basis of negative vaccination status.
In case some bigot would question the “validity” of the biological characteristics you were born with.
