Criminalizing Free Speech: The “Pfizer Article”

from Gerald Posner Just the Facts


A bitterly divided French National Assembly last week voted to approve sweeping legislation titled The Bill To Strengthen The Fight Against Sectarian Excesses And Improve The Support Of Victims. Article 4, derisively dubbed the “Pfizer Article” by critics, is the most controversial. It creates a new crime punishable by 1 to 3 years in prison and fines of €15,000 to €45,000 for speech or actions that causes others to “abandon medical care.”

Article 4 almost did not make it into the act. It was the subject of heated debate. It was removed from the bill, then reinstated, initially defeated, then amended, and finally passed by a small margin.

What constitutes criminal behavior under Article 4? This is its text. (see above)

You are not alone if you had to read its provisions a couple of times and still thought it made no sense.  And it is not a problem of having translated it into English. It is as indecipherable in its original French. That’s the point, however. Article 4 is drafted in the broadest possible language, without any restrictions or objective guard rails to trigger its provisions.

Although the word Pfizer does not appear in the legislation, nor does the term mRNA, the often-raucous debate in the National Assembly was largely directed at the anti-vaccine groundswell that had taken root online during COVID. Pharmaceutical companies lobbied behind the scenes for its passage.  Supporters contended the law would ensure public safety in any national health crisis or a future pandemic. It was, said its sponsors, a “required tool to stop the spread of misinformation” that could otherwise undermine government public health policies.

Make no mistake, Article 4 is a template for other governments looking for a legal means of controlling public discourse when it comes to health and medical treatments. Arthur Delaporte, the Socialist Deputy of the National Assembly, celebrated its passage by declaring, “With this article, we are defending science."...

  2. Has to do with exxxactly this huge event here, predicted by some months ago, (BUT HERE FOR A SITTING 'LEADER' NOT JUST AN EX- OUT OF OFFICE THUS NO SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY WHICH WAS SPECIFICALLY PREDICTED) but also for a 2nd BIG reason, also predicted but over 1 year ago, that as the real world real stats of the criminal clotshot psy-ops would start gushing like old faithful, the scum would move accelerate their civil restrictions.
    To note, exxact same leg/agenda here pushed by our little big turd, who also was being noted as one of the biggest names to be hauled into a real war crimes court as soon as he gets his scummy evil ass booted out of office.

    BTW, by wild cosmic coincidence, i as typing this was listening to a recent utube docu on hitler's psychopathy, and in it they quote an old known saw that goes " a narcissist is just a psychopath who hasn't yet been caught/convicted/incarcerated"!

  3. Here's another huge one not 1 motormouth has noted the stark, almost certainly INTENTIONAL parallel this 80 years ago crime to those open-air "holding camps" being built just across the border in egypt to hold ???how many displaced palis.
