Now that the highly-touted vaccines for COVID seem to be losing their effectiveness, the demand for ramping up the effort to coerce more people to get vaccinated is intensifying.
Bill Gates, a big investor in the manufacturers of the vaccines is adamant that both the unvaccinated and the vaccinated get more inoculations. Gates is urging that Social Security benefits to retirees be withheld to "encourage" more compliance. "While I think the mandates requiring vaccination to keep your job are a good start, we should not forget to use the leverage we have with those living on pensions. We should make continuance of benefits contingent on vaccination status," he said. "This should include all future recommended semi-annual booster shots that are needed to cope with each new emerging variant."
Baylor University Professor Peter Hotez wants Congress to make it a hate-crime for anyone to criticize Dr. Anthony Fauci or any other government scientist. Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) has introduced the Scientific Integrity Act of 2021 (H.R. 849), which would implement this idea. "Our ability to combat the pandemic is hampered when people are free to dispute the proclamations of the officially recognized experts," Tonko argued. "We must have unity of thought and action to successfully battle against the COVID threat. Since we can't seem to get this unity through voluntary means we must resort to punishing the enemy within."
Juliette Kayyem, a former Obama Homeland Security official, is demanding that "unvaccinated Americans should be put on the 'no fly list.' Flying is a privilege, not a right. The federal government has the authority to bar any dangerous person from enjoying this privilege. Maybe being deprived of mobility will persuade these people to do their duty and take the jab."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for the severe constraints he has slapped on his city to go nationwide. In NYC people without a vaccine passport are barred from most indoor places. "Look, we've tried to inspire voluntary obedience with all sorts of giveaways, pleading, and shaming," the Mayor pointed out. "It hasn't been enough. Fear of side effects and distrust of government is making some balk at getting the jab. If we make them prisoners in their homes we can breakdown their resistance. New York has led the way. It's time for everyone else to get in line and march to the same drummer."
Boston Mayor Kim Janey compared vaccine passports "to policies that required Black people to show their identification papers whenever queried by white officials during slavery and the Jim Crow era. Vaccine passports would disproportionately penalize Black residents. Given the history of some heinous medical experiments carried out against us I don't blame them for 'vaccine hesitancy.'" De Blasio rebutted Janey's view by boasting that "I am married to a woman of color. My concern for Black people is beyond reproach."
Finally, Dr. Anthony Fauci went so far as to proclaim that "that the existence of COVID negates the concept of individual rights. One person's desire to live in freedom conflicts with other persons' desire to just live. Refusing to follow the health directives issued by the government encroaches another person's right to life. Since life must precede liberty, liberty must be sacrificed to save lives. Compulsory vaccinations, mask mandates, lockdowns--whatever the government decides is necessary override individual notions of liberty."
In related news, retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the star witness at the first impeachment trial of former President Trump, alleges that "if the Senate had paid attention to my testimony and convicted and removed Trump from office the entire pandemic would've been unnecessary, the economy wouldn't have needed to be shut down, and 600,000 Americans wouldn't have had to die."

Pretty much the Marxist mentality.

“we should not forget to use the leverage we have with those living on pensions”
SSI, SSDI, VA, 401K. This guy is bouncing
on those that have EARNED these
benefits. It’s the peoples money.
Keep poking the bear, Gates, he’s
eventuality gonna wake7 up pissed.
When you start holding peoples’
livelihood for ransom, 6” claws
and 800 pounds of fury will come
to play. And every single one of
us is a bear. This man is pure evil.
“...”unvaccinated Americans should be put on the ‘no fly list.’ Flying is a privilege, not a right...”
That’s hilariouus!
It’s NOT OK to take the virus OUT of the US ... but it’s OK to bring it in!!
Got logic??
That last line is a good point. If the hildabeast had won, all we would be hearing about is a ‘bad flu season’
Excellent. Your last few paragraphs are brutal. Good job.
There is a reason why it’s called “semi” satire. LOL
It’s pretty much the way it is.
Now that they see how easily the masses can be manipulated by a pandemic it will never end. Restrictions will multiply and become ever more onerous. Everyone will be forcibly “vaccinated” over and over again. Dissenters will be chased down and those that survive will be “reeducated” in special internment centers. Killing an unvaccinated person or spreader of “misinformation” will be considered justifiable homicide.
