(LifeSiteNews) â An Academy Award-winning actor denounced the demonization of the unvaccinated during the COVID-19 outbreak and regrets his own anger toward those resisting standard anti-COVID policies such as masking.
Tim Robbins, famous for his leading role in the beloved film The Shawshank Redemption, decried the effect that COVID health âdoctrineâ âhad on us as human beingsâ on British comedian Russell Brandâs December 18 podcast.
âWe turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people,â Robbins said. âI donât think that is something that is sustainable for the earth. That we start demonizing someone who doesnât agree with our particular health policies and turn them into monsters. Turn them into pariahs. Say that they donât deserve a hospital bed.â
He suggested that such a stance from someone who considers vax refusal unwise is hypocritical considering that we still âtake care ofâ people who have made âbad mistakes,â like those who overdose on drugs.
âBecause weâre compassionate. Because we want to make sure that people live. And this turned into âYou should fâing die because you have not complied.â Thatâs incredibly dangerous.â
Robbins, however, said he himself used to have this vengeful mindset, explaining to Brand how he initially accepted the prevailing COVID narrative to the hilt and without question.
âI bought into it. ⌠I was masking everywhere. I was keeping my social distance. I was adhering to the requests made of me, and I felt angry at people that didnât do that,â the liberal actor told Brand.
It was not until he traveled to the United Kingdom, where he said he saw many people defying health protocols, that Robbins began to question government health policies.
âWhen I saw that there wasnât a huge death rate [in Britain], after I witnessed personally what was happening, I started to wonder more and more about what we were being told and whether it was true or not,â Robbins told Brand.
His perspective further shifted when he walked amid an anti-lockdown protest in London out of curiosity.
âI saw the way that they were being described in the press, and it wasnât true,â he said. âThese were not, you know, National Front Nazis. These were liberals and lefties and people who believed in personal freedom.â
Robbins cited two incidents that were particularly âdisturbingâ to him.
âOne was when the CDC ⌠changed the definition of a vaccine on their website,â Robbins said. In September 2021, the CDC changed its definition of vaccine from âa product that stimulates a personâs immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that diseaseâ to âa preparation that is used to stimulate the bodyâs immune response against diseases.â
Robbins also found health authoritiesâ denial of the sufficiency of ânatural immunityâ to be troubling.
âMy alarm bells went off,â Robbins said.
When Brand proposed that âthere is a lot more political ideology at play than is perhaps wise,â and more than is being admitted, Robbins pointed out, âAt first, if you were a Democrat, when Trump was president, well, you werenât going to take that vaccine because it was Trumpâs vaccine, and then that seemed to somehow change.â
âIt was kind of Orwellian. It was like we are no longer at war with East Asia,â said Robbins, alluding to George Orwellâs dystopian novel 1984, in which government propaganda required that history be erased in order to promote the stateâs latest objectives.
Robbins went on, âHowever after the political winds shifted and Democrats assumed power during the pandemic, if you didnât take the vaccine, you were a Republican.â
Robbinsâ interview with Brand echoed previous statements he made to reporter Matt Taibbi.
âYou go from someone that is inclusive, altruistic, generous, empathetic, to a monster. Where you want to freeze peopleâs bank accounts because they disagree with you,â he said, appearing to refer to the Canadian governmentâs freeze on the assets of Freedom Convoy demonstrators for protesting government COVID measures.
âThatâs a dangerous thing. Thatâs a dangerous world that weâve created. And I say âwe,â because I was part of that. I bought into that whole idea early on.â
And God bless the truckers too who stood up to Trudeau's tyranny.
Then there's NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. I've never understood how Justin Trudeau manages to stay in power. And now SIngh is an even a bigger mystery. The man is clearly Trudeau's lap-dog. So what is in it for Singh? Maybe some kind of narcissistic ego boost?
Now Singh has confirmed that there really are two solitudes in Canada, and only one of them should have the emergency act used against them. And that would be the truckers:
"Indigenous land defenders, climate change activists, workers fighting for fairness. And any Canadian using their voice to peacefully demand justice â should never be subject to the Emergencies Act".
