With President Biden's latest disturbing executive orders issued today, we at the TSAP hereby reaffirm our opposition to any vaccine mandates or "passports" or coercion of any kind, period. As we have noted before, these vaccines are not only experimental (regardless of the recent federal quickie rubber-stamping of the Pfizer vaccine), but they are also revealed to be about as "leaky" as the flu shots, meaning that one can still catch and spread the virus even if fully vaccinated (while natural immunity seems to be far superior). Either one or both of these two facts (and we have both) is sufficient to demolish the case for any such mandates and passports, since the rug is completely pulled out from under the argument that the vaccines are to "protect others". Thus, these vaccines are best thought of as a means of self-protection, especially for vulnerable people, and therefore should be strictly voluntary. You know, kinda like how flu shots have historically been.
And that's before we delve into all of the emerging safety concerns of these vaccines, especially for children, teens, and young adults. When they ultimately try to force these things on your kids (and they will if we let them), that has to be a real hard red line for We the People, and fast! If not, the inevitable agony of regret will be the least of our problems.
If there was ever a hill to die on, this is it!
But on a more fundamental level, it ultimately comes down to the basic human rights of bodily autonomy and integrity. Seriously, whatever happened to "my body, my choice"? (Notice how that very concept is under attack in more ways than one these days.)
Imagine it is 2030 now, and you are looking back at what you did or failed to do in 2020 and 2021. Would you be proud or ashamed of yourself? When in doubt, ask yourself that question every single day.
UPDATE: Looks like the ACLU finally broke their silence a few days ago on this very pressing issue--and not in a good way. They basically reversed their pre-2020 stance against vaccine mandates and coercion, and are now acquiescing to these demands. Thus, they can now be officially said to have SOLD OUT to the medical-fascist establishment once and for all.
Also, it seems that the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine (and remember, this is the "gold standard" of COVID vaccines, no less) plummets much more rapidly than anyone predicted. One study in Qatar found that it drops from a peak of 72% (not 95% like originally claimed) down to essentially ZERO infection protection within a mere five months after the second dose, waning slowly at first, and then collapsing all at once. For severe, critical, or fatal COVID, the effectiveness (fortunately) drops much more gradually from a peak of an actual 95% down to about 72% or so at six months, with very wide variation.
Israeli data for Pfizer are not much better, and their current experience with giving a third booster dose to the masses willy-nilly seems to actually be backfiring and spiking the curve even further (much like what happens during the break-in phase after the first dose), so booster shots are hardly a real solution to the problem of rapidly waning vaccines, except maybe for those folks who are extremely vulnerable or immunocompromised. For the masses, it would seem that, ironically, the very best booster of all would actually be--wait for it--natural infection with the virus itself, as according to the Israeli data, that provides a whopping 27 times better infection protection than vaccination alone. In other words, it seems that that the only way to true and robust "herd immunity" was the ultimately inevitable natural infection of healthy people all along. Just like practically every other pandemic in history.
Meanwhile, these vaccines seem to be "the leading cause of coincidences" these days...
"My body, my choice" only applies to abortion. Liberals and progressives are much more supportive of vaccine mandates than moderates or conservatives. I think that this is something we are all have to get used to.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is very unfortunate indeed. These cafeteria liberals and progressives (really technocrats) are basically the secular version of the Pharisees. Scratch that, they worse than that, they are more like Pharaoh, as in "Pharaoh, let my people go!"
DeleteAnd where is the ACLU in all of this? They have been strangely silent.
Thank God for the very few genuine progressives and leftists remaining that still oppose such mandates. Ellen Brown is one of them that first comes to mind.
I think that most progressives and liberals have become technocrats. This is why the ACLU is silent on the issue since it would be political suicide for the ACLU to oppose vaccine mandates and might even get sued for that reason.
DeleteSure seems like it, unfortunately.
DeleteI just added an update about how the ACLU recently broke their silence, and not in a good way. They basically sold out now.
DeleteApparently they did a 180 from their previous position on civil liberties during pandemic response. They held the position in 2008 (in the wake of the bird flu scare) and reaffirmed it in 2015. Only to be silent for most of the past year and a half, and then reverse it completely last week.
DeleteI just added some pics/memes as well.
