It's not the vaccine, stupid
American Thinker ^ | 27 Jul, 2021 | Robert Arvay

Posted on 07/27/2021 4:14:26 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Why do so many Americans resist being vaccinated against COVID? Or is that what they are actually resisting?

When I was a child, I was vaccinated against a number of deadly diseases. As an adult, I had my own child vaccinated. On the whole, vaccinations have saved countless lives and prevented epidemics that would otherwise have ravaged our nation and others.

Yet today, with a pandemic that has gripped the entire world with fears of a plague of (what they call) biblical proportions, there is more resistance to vaccination than ever before. In reaction, there are calls for "vaccine mandates," which would effectively force injections upon the population in vast numbers. Why do so many people adamantly refuse to "take the shot"?

There is a reason. Millions of Americans no longer trust their government. The political left dismisses this distrust with its usual accusations of conservative ignorance, extremism, and racism, but those words, overused for many years, no longer coerce most Americans.

I know people who took the vaccine because their personal physicians, whom they trust, recommended it. They were hesitant to accept that advice, but because of additional factors such as advanced age and complicated health issues, they finally gave in, fearing that for them, an infection might mean a death sentence.

However, when a bureaucrat demands that you be injected with a substance hidden behind walls of government censorship and secrecy, those with low risk factors are correct to be suspicious. When that distrusted government starts making threats, it only further increases the suspicion.

Not to be disrespectful or to appear callous but, allowing the government to jab me because I am too intimidated to decline reminds me of holocaust victims who thought they were going to shower facilities

The same snake-oil salesmen ‘elites’ pushing sickening sex-education for 6 year olds, pushing commie solutions that never work, pushing open borders... ARE PUSHING THE VACCINE.

The stupid’ born on third crowd - the ‘Morning Joe’ sycophant types... are pushing the vaccine. And of course we don’t trust them - they’re not trustworthy.

But it’s more than that... there’s a collective unconscience concern... something stupid white liberal ‘elites’ aren’t capable of feeling. I’m vaccinated - but I understand the concern - the ‘gift of fear’....

free power of choice without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion...

Currently in Phase 3 of the clinical trials yet CA and others are forcing it as a condition of employment. "coercion"

Some want to make people's lives miserable if they don't get the jab. also coercion

We have a ‘government’ and media that lies and changes their story every other minute.

By now -who on earth believes a single thing that they say?

I bet the variant D has also been released by the ChiComs. It’s less that a coincidence that it first spread in India while they’re having a border dispute. Fauci even let it out of the bag by calling variant D a prototype. Prototype to what?

I bet the globalists asked for a second wave to impose another lockdown and set of mandates The amount of hysteria generated to scare folks into getting vaccinated is very suspicious. They want that stuff in our bodies bad. Why? I can’t wait until they announce booster shots will be required yearly.

ps.

I had the Covid. Even my doctor said a jab wasn’t necessary.

Those are the 12 that O’Biden’s Surgeon General said they were going to be censored because they were spreading lies about Covid. (they were speaking truth to O’Biden’s Lies)

Doctor Robert W. Malone is to be taken seriously. He does not like Fauci.

If there are long term consequences from the jab, I hope the jab pushers are hanged. Like the Nazi experimenters.

“Because it’s not a vaccine, stupid”

Really, you can call it whatever you want, but that doesn’t make it a vaccine.

The sky is green. Biden is a great person. See how that works. We have lost the ability to be honest with our words.

I've had all the usual childhood vaccines for someone my age. Just a year or so ago I got a tetanus booster (I was over due, and I'm no stranger to scapes and cuts).

I won't be taking the experimental covid vaccine, ever. It isn't because I'm anti-vaxx (obviously). It is because it was rushed through development, uses never before used (widespread) technology. It is also because far too many people, both companies and government agencies, have been obviously lying about numerous aspects of both the virus and the vax. Finally, the last reason I'll never get it - they are pushing it, demanding compliance and obedience. No. The more they push, assuming I'll fold, the harder my resolve becomes.

That’s why the whole bunch have lost ALL credibility of any kind. They have NONE...nada, zero. They’ve blown their wad with respect to credibility with the People. Do NOT believe ANYTHING coming from these evil, communist bassturds.

Yeah...the commies were the (declared)enemy back then, now they’re in charge! I read a story about the vaccines by some medical guy and from what he described, the vaccine would probably give me a (3rd) heart attack. The way he wrote the technical detail of the vaccine led me to believe he was not employing hyperbole, a la the NSA. Commies lie. They want to kill Trump voters. Act accordingly!

Thanks for your post! Again, back in the days of polio, the commies were our declared enemies. Anyone with a lick of sense knows the Kung Flu and the so-called vaccine is really no different than the stupid annoying commercials you see on TV trying to sell cures to diseases that don't exist. I tell my 11 year old that, and ask him how I know it's fake. Then I tell him that I am old, and those "diseases" or afflictions did not exist when I was his age. So somewhere along the way someone invented them so they could sell the cure. Sales are brisk in the OCD hypochondriac freak community!

If you're bought and paid for by the commies...you're a commie!

Trump got us the vaccine though Biden takes credit for it.

We have all kinds of vaccines for all kinds of diseases like polio, rubella, and measles. The fear and loathing of vaccines used to be lunatic fringe, rooted in bunko faith healers and the like. It is really going to hurt conservatives in future elections that such nonsense gets stamped with the conservative brand name.

As for passport requirements, we should be screening the health of people we let into the country.

It is not a vaccination. It is an injection that courses through the body changing the genetic structure of genes and building spike traps in blood vessels. It is more dangerous than the virus.

The United States has been the leader and the most successful inoculator of her citizens to be rid of disease and maintain general population health and well being.

THEN the democrats took over and screwed EVERYTHING up.

What good did it do for our Salk vaccine against polio if the intentional insertion of the china flu kills us when we were already safely enveloped with American medical ingenuity and technology ?

Great episode, I just listened to Part One and I’m spreading this all over now.

Please listen to this Bannon War Room podcast from Saturday, where he interviews Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology. You can skip past Naomi Wolfe at the start, and also skip RFK Jr. who has a bad Skype connection, but please listen to what the guy who inveted mRNA has to say about the mandatory jab. Dr. Malone starts at 18 minutes. Please don’t miss this.

For as long as I can remember, the gov agencies have suggested that we all get the flu shot in the fall. Not a lot of pressure, but friendly reminders.

This shot is being forcefully pushed by governments and by businesses. Why the force? Tells me not to go down that road.

And btw, no one is talking about flu shots are they.

I stopped getting flu shots (which always made me sick) as soon as I got out of the military. Since then, I’ve watched year after year my coworkers get their flu shots, then get some other version of the flu. I think I had it once in the last 15 years...and it only lasted a couple days. Been much healthier since I said no to flu shots!

“Communists lie.” - it is important to remember that little bit of wisdom. It is also important to remember that the muslim nation does the same thing. The only difference between a communist and a muslim is this:

- the communist wants you to submit or suffer
- the muslim wants you to submit or die.
