Describe the issue

We have an inalienable right to privacy. Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portions of privacy-invading apparatus entering your browser when you visit most sites nowadays. uBlock Origin's main goal is to help users neutralize such privacy-invading apparatus. The most privacy-invading apparatus nowadays is the COVID media bloatware. I am saying health policies in the West have been purposely mismanaged to enforce among other objectives the goal of establishing a vaccination passport that invades completely privacy. This mismanagement has been done thanks to the corruption in politics, media, health and finance. I do believe uBlock should block media bloatwares that contains anti-privacy weapons. I am saying national & global health policies have been poorly handled and the news media - that are generally owned by oligarchs - played a role in it. The European Commission has a vaccination roadmap where in 2022, it plans to deliver a Commission proposal for a common vaccination card/passport for EU citizens. In order to do that, they will fight against vaccine hesitancy. In uBlock's manifesto, it is being said the user decides what web content is acceptable or not in their browser. I do believe the progressive fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity is a global threat to privacy, and to all Internet users. uBlock should provide the feature to block any website having any text related to corona, covid, or have a more complex blocking filter related to it that would contribute to block media bloatwares.
