When it comes to vaccinations, we’re in the bribery phase
American Thinker ^ | 16 May, 2021 | Scott McNay

I’ll admit, I’m not getting the “vax.” No amount of fear porn, “it’s my patriotic duty,” publicly shaming me, or telling me that “I’m protecting other people” will convince me that I should get it. Anti-Vaxxer, I believe I’m called. Many people evidently feel the same way.

Since fear, pride, shame, and concern for others didn’t work, the machine is now using the best of all human traits to coerce us to get vaccinated: Greed. Here are just a few examples to appeal to our greedier side:

The Cincinnati Reds offer discounted tickets for those who received the “vax.”

The Philly Flyers offered up free tickets to a game next year if you got vaxxed before the last game of the season.

New Orleans is offering a “one shot, one pound” event. That’s right, get your free Covid shot and a free pound of steaming crayfish.

SNIP

In 1952, India was the first Third World country to adopt a population control policy. With pressure from the USA, which leveraged food aid for population control during a time of severe drought, the late 1960s was a boon for sterilizations and IUD insertions. Eat, get sterilized, or die. Pretty straightforward choice.

At some point, I suppose, that method was a little too distasteful for some, so they upped the ante and began, instead, to offer bicycles and transistor radios to the anti-sterilizers. Enter the “gift” phase of the program.

In the 1970s, they moved from the gift to the incentivized phase. In order to be allotted land or have access to electricity, ration cards, medical care, and promotions, you had to have been sterilized.

Mine is $1,000,000,000,000, but with the coming Zimbabwean inflation that might not even buy you a loaf of bread in a couple of years.

Remember last year the Democrats were calling them the Trump vaccine and saying they wouldn’t trust it because of Trump? They started the suspicions, not us. Now they’re falling all over themselves pushing us to get them, why?

If it was really for our own good they would not be using coercion.

What about “My body, my choice”?

And yet this administration allows unaccompanied minors and other illegal border crossers to be brought here by NGOs from south of the border to then be jetted all over the country with no concern of being tested let alone vaccinated.

As I recall, reports have indicated positivity rates of 10+% among those UAM attending school at the convention center in San Diego.

Something doesn’t smell right...

Doesn’t protect other people, the hope is it protects you from severe Covid in the here and now. Those vaccinated can still get sick with Covid and CAN still spread it to other people. I won’t be getting one any time soon for a variety of reasons based on my work own experience working in healthcare and seeing how random all this the public recommendations are, based on fact that the same people running the clusterf&#ck of this Covid ‘show’ that are reporting and advising on Covid, (that most of us don’t believe a word they say anymore) are the same people urging me to get it!! And my research and health care work experience tells me, for me, more information is needed that will only come with passage of time, to see a) how vax ultimately effects this pandemic’s outcomes and b) long term health implications. I also find no reason to trust an establishment pushing a new experimental technology never used before on our children who have an almost zero chance of being harmed from the virus itself but many of whom have been harmed by how it has been handled in the past 14 months. ( and if the answer is ‘because they can spread it’ - most children are asymptomatic and so again- conflicting information). That smells to me. That’s just my viewpoint for my health at this time. EVERYONE should have right to make decision for themselves and NO ONE should be threatened or called names or put down for their choices.
