COVID vaccines: time to confront anti-vax aggression
Nature ^ | April 27, 2021 | Peter Hotez

Posted on 05/06/2021 2:04:16 PM PDT by Wallace T.

Nearly one billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been delivered in less than six months, but anti-vaccine disinformation and targeted attacks on scientists are undermining progress. These threats must be confronted directly, and the authority and expertise of the health community alone aren’t enough to do this.

Efforts must expand into the realm of cyber security, law enforcement, public education and international relations. A high-level inter-agency task force reporting to the UN secretary-general could assess the full impact of anti-vaccine aggression, and propose tough, balanced measures. The task force should include experts who have tackled complex global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks and nuclear armament, because anti-science is now approaching similar levels of peril. It is becoming increasingly clear that advancing immunization requires a counteroffensive.

The fanaticism to force the experimental injection is starting to warp minds.

It must be that a fair number of people still live in the U.S. who, once they smell a big enough rat in terms of deep state overreach, will get their back up, and, at a minimum, start shaking the rattle in their tail loud enough to wake the neighbors.

They really won’t stop making a racket until the government backs down. Thinking back to Janet Reno days, however (Elian Gonzalez, Waco), sometimes the government refuses to back down too, choosing instead to charge in, sometimes with big guns blazing.

What kind of direct or indirect enforcement or punishment measures do you think the states or fedgov will try against recalcitrant “my body, my choice” mRNA deviationists?

How bad will they push before backing down and looking for another means to divide and conquer as you seem to be suggesting? Or will they set an unachievable percentage target, deliberately fail to reach it, and then start really bashing heads?

In the Garden State mask wearing is still more or less universal outside of one’s private home. The only major exceptions appear to be when one is actually eating one’s meal inside a restaurant (although many dining rooms remain still fully closed to patrons, for example at McDonald’s and at Wendy’s) or if one is outside, such as walking down the street or in a park (unless one is a student involved in an organized outdoor athletic activity with other students, during which for some reason the schools still require the kuds to wear a mask).

The vast bulk of government office workers who started “working remotely” are still more or less all still scamtastically getting their money and full benefits without having to leave their houses. It appears they have collectively decided that they will allow this to change only over their dead bodies. No members of the public are allowed to set foot inside County Courthouses. Uniformed officers clog the only possible entrance 24/7/365.

Freedom of private, physical (i.e., gathering live and in person) association is, of course, on complete hold. Weekly mass or other religious services is an exception to this rule but not without humiliating anti-social “distancing”, stupid stickers on the floor, arrows telling you which direction to walk and where, roped-off pews, and the perpetual wearing of face diapers.

Of course, even the most secure face diaper will stubbornly fall off or mysteriously disappear for a few seconds at a time at the same time every Sunday during Novus Ordo mass at one’s local parish, such as (1) during the actual Consecration/Transsubstantiation (”This Is My Body”, “This Is The Chalice Of My Blood”), (2) during the actual Elevation (”Behold The Lamb Of God”), and (3) when falling on one’s knees before the altar to receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ directly on one’s tongue from the consecrated hands of a priest (”The Body Of Christ”). Other than that, though, the local ordinaries all appear to be running the tightest of ships.

It seems almost inconceivable that mRNA deviationists will be allowed to participate in any more restored freedoms at this point anywhere in the Garden State. We really seem to be stuck. The “poweres that be” would SEEM to be ready at this point to grant special restored privileges to all fully compliant processors of foreign mRNA. Problem is, they haven’t yet figured out a socially acceptable way to reliably distinguish the compliant mRNA processors from the deplorable remnant of non-compliant mRNA deviationists.

It’s hard to predict even what next week will hold in terms of fresh insults to the populace.

Above is a link to a remake of Kramer’s HIV walk on Seinfeld.

He goes on a walk against HIV but refuses to wear the ribbon. Subtitles change the ribbon to the vaccine, etc.

“What!? You aren’t against the virus!?”
“Oh - I’m against the virus!”

“Well then why didn’t you take the vaccine!?”

Look at the handle. How much more “on the nose” can one get than “nascarnation”, 2aprotectstherest”, etc.?

That’s one sure sign we’re in Troll City.

.We are told in Scripture is that children are a blessing from the Lord ... so then whose “blessing” is abortion?

Is it any wonder why it looks like so many in our culture have been turned over to reprobate minds?

You are correct. Reagan warned that Socialism would come to America through Government Healthcare (oxymoron). We are there. Now we need to prepare for what’s coming…

Antivaxxers are against traditional vaccines also.

If being against vaccines derived from aborted fetal cells and those altering DNA make me antivaxx, then I proudly wear that badge

I can’t recall if you and I are speaking or not, so I’ll chance it because I like your pro-life stance.

I’m pro-life also, extremely pro-life.

I’m interested in that claim of fetal cells being used with Pfizer and/or Moderna. I’m aware that J&J and AZ used the fetal cell line in testing and in the vaccine.

I know the claim has been made for Pfizer but Right to Life says it’s fine and doesn’t contain any fetal cells.

I mean, they could be wrong I guess.

I realize sometimes things on the internet can take on a life of their own but personally I really want to know the truth on this.

Do you have any info? Perhaps something I missed?

Thanks in advance.

I’m more concerned about pro-vaccination violence.

So doctors who are presenting evidence the vaccines are dangerous are anti-science because they contradict the ruling party. That’s called anti-science.
