‘Anti-Vaxx’ is the media’s lazy and dishonest way of discrediting freedom protesters. Anyone paying attention can see the lie. Here are 30 real reasons people are marching for freedom around the world.

Freedom Convoys are gathering momentum in Canada, Australia and several European countries. Millions of citizens have marched in freedom rallies across the Western world for 30 weeks straight.

The protesters who attend are routinely labelled ‘anti-vaxxers’ by the legacy media — even though many of them are vaccinated, are pro-vaccine, or are explicitly protesting vaccine mandates and other authoritarian health orders.

The news outlets using the ‘anti-vaxx’ label know what they are doing. They have found an epithet that is deeply unpopular with the public, and are wielding it to discredit a movement that threatens the credibility of their reporting over the last two years.

In response to this obvious journalistic deception, a letter to the editor was recently sent in to Cairns News that truthfully reflects the concerns of the freedom protesters. An edited version of this list appears below. “While the media prefer to label everything as ‘anti-vaxx’,” the writer posed, here are some other ideas:

1. It’s the cancelled surgeries.
2. It’s the family and friends we haven’t been allowed to see. 
3. It’s the elderly parents passing away alone.
4. It’s the funerals of loved ones we haven’t been allowed to attend, and the limit on how many can celebrate their death, or even attend at all.
5. It’s the children’s cancelled birthday parties, including the two-year-olds who have never had a birthday party, nor attended one.
6. It’s the decline in mental health — because the worst thing for depression is being lonely.
7. It’s the cancelled vacations, work trips, festivals, concerts, parties and reunions.
8. It’s telling us how many people are allowed to attend our weddings.
9. It’s masking our children while they sit in class, run during gym, and play outside.
10. It’s having to choose between a vaccine that gave your friend heart problems, and losing your job.
11. It’s our healthcare workers — our heroes — losing their jobs, and causing other healthcare workers to become exhausted from trying to keep it together day after day!
12. It’s the parents who have been forced to leave work to take care of their children’s homeschooling.
13. It’s missing work and defaulting on mortgages and bills.
14. It’s the incentive to stay home instead of working, and being rewarded with ‘free’ money.
15. It’s the ‘free’ money that we’ll all be paying back through taxes and inflation eventually.
16. It’s the isolation and the separation — and telling us how many can come over for Christmas.
17. It’s the hours spent listening to our government officials dictate every aspect of our lives.
18. It’s the fear-mongering that has been instilled upon us by our leaders and every legacy news outlet.
19. It’s the vacationers who have been stranded on cruise ships, resorts and in airports — forced to wait endlessly, pay for new tickets or be turned away to, all follow rules that were made up yesterday and will be forgotten next week.
20. It’s the families no longer able to build their dream homes.
21. It’s the dads not being able to be present for their unborn baby’s ultrasound.
22. It’s the mothers giving birth and being told their husbands can’t be there.
23. It’s the hugs we’ve missed out on.
24. It’s the professional sports cancelled, the children’s sports games cancelled, the gym classes cancelled, the recreation classes cancelled, the competitions cancelled.
25. It’s the ten-year-old choosing a needle in her arm that she doesn’t need just so she can attend her dance competition.
26. It’s trying to explain to our two-year-olds (who are now four-year-olds) why they have to wear a mask.
27. It’s the burnt-out teachers, doctors, nurses, fast-food workers, mums, grocery workers and service station attendants who just want to get back to their normal lives.
28. It’s the increase in domestic violence and suicide.
29. It’s the constant contradiction and changing of rules, where our elected leaders have refashioned themselves as dictators, dividing us and separating us and turning us against each other for no discernible benefit.
30. But it’s really been our freedom that has been impacted the most — the freedom of choice that we used to take for granted but must now demand back from the powers that be.
