Forcing "Consent"
The manipulation of language has become so pervasive and habitual that authorities don't blink when posting blatant contradictions

Thank you for drawing attention to this language in consistency. Speaking up about it is part of our job!
The only way I could think to express my dissent when forced to get the vaccine was to write on a piece of paper "I am consenting under duress because I will lose my job if I do not do so" and photograph it, next to the farcical "consent" screen at the vaccination centre. I hope that there is a class-action lawsuit at some point, because I cannot take on my institution on my own. I also plan on getting a non-smart phone and informing my employer that I have no cell-phone to utilise for the increasing number of apps and access-screening software that they expect me to put on my personal phone for their institutional use. At the very least, it should confound them for a bit and make things difficult as they try to figure out more cumbersome alternatives. I would heartily recommend that like-minded people start doing the same, as a form of passive resistance. In fact, where is it even stated in a country's constitution that all people shall carry cell phones, period? Never mind cell phones for their governments and employers to keep tabs on them? Our phones have become our ankle trackers.
