Hundreds Protest Vaccination Mandates in Michigan

LANSING, Mich.—About 800 protesters gathered Friday afternoon on the grounds outside the Michigan State Capitol to rally against government mandates for vaccinations and masks.
In a call for residents to push back against the government’s increasingly intrusive health policies and protect Americans’ rights during the pandemic, Tammy Clark, executive director of the conservative group “Stand Up Michigan,” encouraged the audience to let their voices be heard through non-violent civil disobedience.
“If we don’t stop this now, we won’t get another chance,” Clark said. “Let’s show the government that the employees of this country will not tolerate this tyranny. We have inalienable rights and we are not going to give them up. We must refuse to comply with the vaccine mandates and forced mask-wearing at all costs. If you lose your job, go out and get another job!”
Among the many health care workers in the crowd were two cousins, Beatrice and Christina, both nurses who potentially face losing their jobs if they do not take the vaccine.
Beatrice, a nurse from Troy, Michigan, told The Epoch Times, “Being forced to take the shot or lose your job is like me telling a patient, ‘Take your pills or I won’t feed you, bathe you, or care for you.’ Both instances violate the nurse’s code of ethics.”
Beatrice continued, “Christina and I grew up in communist Romania where doctors put things in your arm against your will. We know what this is. We lived under it. It’s communism.”
ICU nurse Christina added, “Imagine being banned from shopping for groceries at a store. Americans haven’t lived through that kind of tyranny yet. Many of our fellow health care workers feel as we do but are afraid to speak up.”
Pastor Jason Georges, who spoke at the rally, used his remarks to outline what he called the “immorality” of the government’s vaccination messaging.
“The Biden administration has been denying they are forcing you to get vaccinated but they have publicly stated that they intend to make your life so uncomfortable that you will have to take the vaccine,” he said.
“First, they take our rights. Then, they redefine our God-given inalienable rights as privileges. Then, they attempt to bribe us into compliance with promises of restoring some of those ‘privileges.’”
Medical doctor David Vella warned the crowd against what he called a “new age of medical fascism.” He labeled mandated vaccinations as “a coerced gene treatment” that violates the Hippocratic Oath, the U.S. Constitution, and every international human rights declaration, including the Nuremberg Code.
Vella said the American people are suffering from “a mass neurosis” of fear.

I’ve come up with a theory to explain to myself why so many are calling the Nazis far-right. I don’t know how long after the war it started, but most professors have been liberal for quite some time. Especially professors of anything in the liberal arts Arena. So a lot of these professors teaching history and writing books are liberals, so they are socialists and Beyond. If they were to have called the Nazis socialists, and that sort of messes up their agenda. Of course they are trying to brainwash the students in their classes and calling the Nazis socialists would ruin that. And they hate the opposite of socialism / fascism / communism; small limited government is their enemy. So they decide to call the Nazis far right in order to brand their enemy with something bad.
Then of course they don’t teach their students to think, they don’t teach them logic, so kids just buy that Nazis must be far right. Without actually looking at it and realizing that couldn’t be further from the truth. And the students don’t bother to realize that Nazi stands for national socialism. Plus Hitler’s many quotes about how he admires Karl Marx and that his government is socialist.
It came in really handy when Trump came along. He embodies everything they hate, Freedom, self-reliance, small government, profiting from your own endeavors - all truly right-wing ideas. So they decide to compare him with Hitler, since they’ve already set up the argument that Nazis are far right.
