Scottish Government bans unvaccinated women from receiving IVF treatment

In a decision declared “inhumane” by Scottish Labour’s Health Spokesman Jackie Baillie, the SNP-led Scottish Government has prohibited unvaccinated women from seeking IVF treatment in order to have a baby. Women who have received a second dose but not a booster will also be ineligible for IVF, as they are not counted as ‘fully vaccinated’ (that’s another £1 thrown into the ‘conspiracy theorists were right’ jar).

The Scottish Government justifies the decision on the grounds that unjabbed, possibly pregnant women could contract Covid and wind up in an ICU, with political rhetoric turning up the heat against the unvaccinated for clogging intensive care units (claims which were often overinflated and out-of-date).

Despite the lack of a sunset clause, Strathclyde University health expert Mary Neal has mentioned that the policy could be overturned by the courts due to explicitly violating human rights, though considers it unlucky. I do to – if the judiciary hasn’t yet stepped into the fray to defend our precious civil liberties, I doubt they ever will. The judiciary will remain captivated by Covidian orthodoxy, and remain submissive to the authoritarian state which has ballooned in size over the last two years.

This policy will, most likely, stay on the books for some time to come, and others like it will be decreed into existence by Nicola Strugeon’s trigger-happy political apparatus.
