Swedish Labor Court: Employers were right to impose vaccine mandates

The criticized covid vaccinations

Published 13 January 2024

During the corona repression, many people felt compelled to take the mRNA vaccine.

The Swedish Labor Court has ruled that a private employer who introduced vaccination requirements for its staff and suspended three unvaccinated nursing assistants without pay during the coronavirus crisis did nothing wrong.

It was Aleris Närsjukvård that introduced a “vaccination policy” during covid-19, requiring all staff working in close contact with patients in a geriatric ward to be vaccinated with the experimental vaccines.

Several employees were severely affected by the vaccine requirement, and three of the nursing assistants also opted out of the covid vaccine – resulting in the health care company suspending them without pay in December 2021 on the grounds that they were no longer considered available to the employer due to their unwillingness to be injected.

In the fall of 2022, the workers’ union, Kommunal, began to pursue the issue, arguing that the workers were indeed at the employer’s disposal, that they had the right to choose whether or not to be vaccinated, and that they were also entitled to be paid. However, the Labor Court has now made its decision – and ruled in favor of the healthcare company.

“The content of the vaccination policy was in line with the recommendations of the authorities for personnel involved in patient care. The company wanted to achieve the highest level of protection for the most vulnerable patients. The reason for implementing the vaccination policy was that the company wanted to minimize the risk of infection and serious illness in its operations. Against this background, the company’s interest weighs very heavily”, they wrote.

“Reasonable policy”

They also claim that Aleri’s vaccination requirement was made after “careful consideration and was based on recommendations from FHM, which means that it can be said to be based on science and proven experience”.

“Less intrusive measures would have resulted in a greater risk of infection, although the effect is difficult to quantify. In the Labor Court’s view, the policy was proportionate. In other words, the company’s interests outweigh those of the employees”, it said, adding that all claims for wages, vacation pay, holiday pay and general damages for breach of the collective agreement “must therefore be dismissed”.

The Labor Court also based its ruling on an earlier, unrelated case in the European Court of Justice, which concluded that a private employer has the right to require employees to undergo drug testing – which the Labor Court interpreted to mean that there is also a legal basis for mandatory vaccinations in the workplace.

– Peeing into a jar is one thing. In our case, the employee was told that he had to be vaccinated. It is a kind of medical intervention that the employer demands, says Anne Alfredsson, union lawyer for Kommunal in Läkartidningen.

– They say that the employer’s interests are paramount, without any deeper reasoning, she explains, adding that she is disappointed that the court did not consider how serious this kind of intervention in the employee’s integrity really is.

Epidemiologist: Eight US states may ban COVID vaccine

Legislative initiatives to ban COVID-19 vaccines are underway in at least eight US states, according to epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher.

He believes that all the bills and efforts are finally reaching a point where the federal government also feels the need to act.

In the US, many citizens are forced to take the shots in order not to lose their jobs or risk being excluded from society. Since the implementation of mRNA injections, it has come to light that a large number of people in the US and other countries have suffered various suspected side effects from them. In the UK, for example, thousands of people have applied for compensation for side effects related to injuries.

As of February 6, bills and resolutions are being considered at various levels of government in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Texas, Iowa, Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida.

– In the past few years, there have been multiple initiatives, multiple bills, multiple committee hearings, and all of this stuff is actively, and has in the past few years, been drafted up, Hulscher said in an interview with Vigilant News, continuing:

– It’s being considered now by eight states … at various levels of government, including county level and at the state level.

In Idaho, for example, Senator Brandon Shippy has introduced a bill to ban COVID-19 vaccines for the next 10 years. In Washington, 98% of the population has taken the “COVID vaccine” and it is a “very blue state”. Nevertheless, there is currently an initiative at the county level.

“The government must respond”

Hulscher is an epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, which also recently published a study on evidence of the risks of the mRNa vaccine.

“More than 81,000 physicians, scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens, 240 elected government officials, 17 professional public health and physician organizations, 2 State Republican Parties, 17 Republican Party County Committees, and 6 scientific studies from across the world have called for the market withdrawal of COVID-19 vaccines”, states the study, which was published in January in Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law,

According to Hulscher, the foundation will be actively involved in at least three of these efforts to ban mRNA injections, though which three he does not name.

– I think these bills eventually, and all these initiatives … will end up reaching a critical mass. And what that means is it’ll reach a certain point to where the federal government will have to respond.

Fired vaccine refusers welcomed back into the US Army

Donald Trump's USA

Thousands of US military personnel were forced to leave because they did not want to take the shot.

Thousands of soldiers were forced to leave the US military because they refused to be injected with the experimental mRNA vaccine during the coronavirus crisis but now they are being welcomed back.

– We will restore them to their former rank with full pay, Donald Trump promises.

At least 8,200 soldiers were forced to leave the army under the Biden administration in 2021 after refusing to comply with orders to get vaccinated against COVID-19. As early as 2023, notices were sent out to those affected that there were some opportunities to return, but so far only 113 people have chosen to take up that offer.

To be eligible for re-enlistment, soldiers must meet all the requirements for military service, such as weight, physical fitness and medical standards. However, those with a criminal record or other disqualifying factors may be denied, and even officers need to go through a simple reenlistment process.

Donald Trump, during a speech at his Trump National Doral Miami, promised to reinstate all soldiers who were fired because of the vaccine requirement.

– We will offer full reinstatement to any service member who was expelled from the armed forces due to the COVID vaccine mandate, and we will restore them to their former rank with full pay.

Will receive redress

The offer also applies to those who voluntarily left the military to avoid the vaccine requirement, provided they sign an affidavit to that effect. Although the offer is not expected to lead to a large wave of returns, it may increase costs for the military as retroactive pay will have to be paid.

According to data from the various branches of the armed forces, 3,748 marines were discharged, of which 25 have returned. Out of 1,903 dismissed soldiers in the army, 73 have chosen to be reinstated, while 1,878 sailors and 671 air force personnel were dismissed, of which only two and 13 respectively have returned.

– Tens of thousands of service members were kicked out because of an experimental vaccine. They will be apologized to. They will be reinstated, reinstituted with pay and rank, the new US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has previously promised.

Clearing out DEI initiatives

Trump also issued a broad order to eliminate all programs and initiatives related to so-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard, which is governed by the Department of Homeland Security.

The order aims to remove “all vestiges” of such initiatives that seek to “promote a race-based preferences system that subverts meritocracy, perpetuates unconstitutional discrimination, and promotes divisive concepts or gender ideology”.

It prohibits the departments from promoting or adhering to “un-American” theories that suggest the US founding documents are racist or sexist, that discuss gender ideology, and that promote “divisive concepts” such as “race or sex stereotyping”.

Under the order, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security must issue guidance to implement the presidential order within 30 days.

Zuckerberg: Biden administration forced us to censor vaccine criticism

Internet censorship

Mark Zuckerberg says it was Biden's team that forced Facebook to censor vaccine criticism.

In an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says it was the Biden administration that forced the company’s platforms to censor posts criticizing the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.

The conversation covered several topics, but one that stood out was when Zuckerberg talked about government censorship and how the outgoing administration forced the tech company to weed out uncomfortable opinions – even if they were completely true.

– This hit the most extreme. I’d say it was during the Biden Administration when they were trying to roll out the vaccine programme. Now I’m generally pretty pro rolling out vaccines, I think on balance the vaccines are more positive than negative but I think that while they’re trying to push that program they also tried to censor anyone who was arguing against it.

– They pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly true. I mean, they basically pushed us and said, ‘You know anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, you need to take down’ , the billionaire explained in the interview, claiming he opposed this demand.

According to Zuckerberg, representatives of the Biden administration contacted him personally and demanded that posts highlighting the side effects of the mRNA vaccine be deleted.

That’s ridiculous

Referring to the investigation, and the committee set up to look into the Biden administration’s censorship, Mark Zuckerberg went on to say that government representatives called and yelled at Meta’s team, demanding that various posts, even of a humorous nature, be deleted immediately.

– It just got to this point where we were like, no, we’re not gonna take down true things. That’s ridiculous… We’re not going to take down humor and satire.

According to Zuckerberg, his alleged refusal to comply with the Biden administration’s censorship demands also led the government to begin attacking his company through various pronouncements and government investigations.

– It was brutal, he claims.

With the departure of the Biden administration and the arrival of the Trump administration, the Facebook founder says it is high time to “restore freedom of expression” on platforms that were previously subject to widespread and arbitrary censorship, and where dissent was often effectively banned.

– We will go back to our roots, they say.

“Criminal censorship”

Not everyone finds Zuckerberg’s claims particularly credible, however. For example, author David Icke, an early critic of mass vaccination programs, points out that he was censored and suspended from Facebook back in 2020 when Donald Trump was president.

They are all at it – letting Zuckerberg’s criminal censorship be whitewashed to bring him into the MAGA fold while Biden takes the blame”, he writes.

Swedish MP pushes for accountability on mRNA vaccine risks

The criticized covid vaccinations

Published 30 November 2024
– By Editorial Staff
Elsa Widding calls on the government to stop the use of mRNA products until their risks are properly assessed.

In an interpellation debate, Elsa Widding asks whether Social Affairs Minister Jacob Forssmed (KD) will investigate the strong suspicions that the mRNA vaccine has a very harmful effect on the human genome and stop all use of the experimental vaccines until such an investigation is completed.

However, Forssmed is not interested in thoroughly investigating the harmful effects of the vaccine, claiming that the controls are already “rigorous and comprehensive”. Nor does he seem to want to take any personal responsibility for the consequences of mRNA technology.

Independent member of the Swedish Parliament Elsa Widding, addressed an interpellation to Minister of Social Affairs Jacob Forssmed in light of the experimental mRNA vaccine during the COVID crisis and the dangers and negative health effects suspected to be linked to the vaccine.

Widding refers to a wide range of experts and points out how there is a lot of evidence to suggest that mRNA vaccines can, among other things, be contaminated with bacterial DNA and thus carry a risk of very serious damage to human health.

– This is because synthetic foreign DNA is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, which can then integrate into human cells, leading to genomic instability, cancer, immune system disorders and adverse hereditary effects.

“Will the Minister take responsibility?”

She therefore asks Forssmed whether he will set up an independent investigation into the strong suspicions that the vaccine affects the human genome and whether he will stop all use of products based on mRNA technology until the above investigation is completed.

– If the Minister chooses not to stop the use of mRNA technology in Sweden, will the Minister take full responsibility for the consequences? she asks.

However, Forssmed does not seem to be prepared to take any personal responsibility at all and he calls the process of checking the vaccine “rigorous and comprehensive“.

I have good faith in the process related to the control and monitoring of medicines and vaccines, and I believe it is important that those who are deemed to be at risk of serious illness from COVID-19 can continue to receive the protection offered by the vaccine, he says.

“Dark shadow hangs over the authorities”

Widding soon becomes visibly frustrated in the debate that the Minister for Social Affairs does not seem to be interested in answering her questions at all and also seems to misunderstand what she is trying to get across.

– So the question is not whether the contaminating foreign DNA integrates into the DNA of human cells, but how often this happens and how serious the effects are.

– The genetic risks to humans and their offspring are unknown. That is why further scientific studies to determine these risks are urgently needed. Similarly, the government should investigate, for example, excess mortality, which remains very high in the Western world. If you look at the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, you can see that it was highest in 2021, when vaccination started, and still very high in 2022. Why is this not being investigated? Is there a link with the vaccines or not? she continues.

The independent MP argues that the monitoring of mRNA vaccines is not at all as “rigorous and comprehensive” as Forssmed claims – instead, many rules and best practices for clinical trials were violated during the COVID crisis.

– Someone – the manufacturer – has been sloppy in the manufacturing process of the modified mRNA vaccine, and the authorities have let them get away with it. I would therefore say that a very dark shadow hangs over the same authorities that the Minister is defending. Safe and effective vaccines cannot be produced as long as regulators do not act in the public interest.

Not preventing the spread of infection

Forssmed continues to avoid Widdings’ questions and instead declares that he is “confident that the vaccines used against COVID-19 are of good quality and that they are safe and effective against serious illness and death“.

It is problematic that this type of non-scientific claims are spread, and it is of course not relevant to stop vaccinations with safe, effective and approved vaccines, the Minister continued.

Ms. Widdings’ irritation at the minister’s dodging of her questions is growing, and she also points out that the authorities may not have as much credibility on the vaccine issue as they would like to claim.


Translation: Head-in-the-sand behavior from Social Affairs Minister Forssmed.

– First, COVID-19 vaccines have never even been tested for their ability to block virus transmission and thus do not protect against the spread of infection. European regulators, as well as governments and state bodies, misled people to get them to accept these products. Hasn’t this affected the credibility of the authorities? Here I would like to remind the Council of State of the text of the Nuremberg Code, that is, the prohibition of subjecting people to experiments and of forcing, pressuring or persuading people to participate in medical experiments against their will.

– Second, the COVID-19 vaccines resulted in an unprecedented level of reported adverse events, including deaths. Moreover, analysis of public data shows that it was completely random which batch of vaccine a person received and thus also random which side effects the person suffered after the shot. Those who were unlucky enough to receive a shot from a really bad batch of modified mRNA vaccine had a 1 in 20 risk of becoming very seriously ill or dying. Others, who received their vaccine from the most favorable batch, had a minimal risk of illness or death.

– Third, analysis by several independent scientists now shows that Pfizer’s and Moderna’s products were contaminated with varying and uniquely high levels of residual DNA. It is this contamination that is at the heart of today’s debate…How can a vaccine be considered safe and effective when hardly anyone even knows what it contains?

“Affects the brain, heart and lungs”

Widding also highlights how the pressure for Swedes to take the experimental vaccines was enormous and how people were fooled into thinking they were preventing the spread of infection if they were vaccinated even though this was not the case.

She highlights how modified mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 pose health risks that were not adequately studied before the vaccines were granted emergency approval and began to be injected into the world’s populations.

– The lipid nanoparticles do not stop at the injection site but reach the bloodstream and thus several organs. If cells in the blood vessels absorb these particles, they will cause vascular damage and blood clots, leading to an increased risk of stroke, heart attack and other acute vascular diseases. The Minister should know this if he has read the data from Pfizer. All these conditions are well documented in the medical literature and in national adverse event reporting systems. Full stop. Similarly, lipid nanoparticles can affect organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, etc.

Vaccine manufacturers must be scrutinized

– While these risks apply to all mRNA vaccine technology, the potentially serious health risks due to the contamination with bacterial DNA we are talking about today also need to be addressed. The development of safe and effective vaccines depends on transparent and reliable oversight of vaccine manufacturers. Positive change starts with the recognition of errors, and this process must start immediately before more lives are lost in a careless and unnecessary way. A huge responsibility rests here on the shoulders of the Prime Minister, she concluded.

Despite repeated calls and direct questions, Forssmed continues to refuse to answer them, instead repeating mantras such as “we need to continue vaccinating” and that “it is important that people in risk groups receive vaccines“.

It is important that we continue to stand up for science and the thousands of researchers who say that this is good and important and protects against severe disease and death, he says.
