Fighting Back Against the Vaccine Mandate
Real Clear Politics ^ | 16 Aug, 2021 | Frank Miele

The unvaccinated are fast on their way to becoming America’s untouchables, the equivalent of people in India who are the bottom caste of society, deprived of their rights and segregated as unclean.

Of course, that doesn’t apply to all vaccines, just to the COVID-19 vaccines being urged on Americans with minimal testing, maximum confusion, and no guarantee that the cure won’t be worse than the disease. In many states, including Michigan, universities and employers have begun to insist that their students or employees submit to one of the three available vaccines or be denied access to participation, enrollment or employment.

These so-called vaccine mandates have pitted big government against everyday Americans under threat of losing their livelihoods if they don’t comply. On Aug. 6, several hundred Michiganders gathered on the steps of the state capitol to rally against the growing pressure to get vaccinated.

The rally, sponsored by Stand Up Michigan and several other groups, was a sign of the growing distrust of the vaccine that has been spurred by federal guidelines for vaccinated people to keep wearing masks and increasing evidence that getting the vaccine does not provide certain protection against the viral disease.

The control group would be those who did not receive the vaccine. Only about half the population have been vaccinated. The other half is the ‘control group’. This is really an argument that vaccine testing should have taken years and years and years. No one can explain how that would have saved lives when over 600,000 have died in about one year.

wgmalabama wrote: “When in doubt do nothing seems to be the best and most logical answer. I think people need to make their own benefit analysis.”

Certainly make your own analysis. No one can do that for you since no one knows your personal risk profile. You should consider that by deciding not to take the vaccine, you have decided to run the risk of COVID.

But don’t be unduly influenced by the anti-vaxxers. For example. It has been posted on this forum that the vaccines are a plot to decimate the world population to forestall global warming. No one has ever been able to explain why millions of health care professionals would advocate a vaccine that is a poison. Nor, has anyone explained why the pharmaceutical companies would want to kill their customers by knowingly give them a poison. If you hear claims like these, be very skeptical.

Another thing is this: the anti-vaccine members try to denigrate the vaccines by claims that they don’t work (all the time) or that their effectiveness is reduced by time. Yes, that’s pretty much the way vaccines work. I think only the small pox vaccine has shown almost a life time immunity and almost 100% effectiveness. Why do they try to hold up these vaccines to a standard that almost no other vaccines can meet unless they are ‘anti-vaccine’.

Revised below. I'm keeping this on my phone for when I'm asked (challenged, actually) "Why aren't you vaccinated?!?!" Here's why:

Covid vaccines are still experimental.

Covid vaccines are not FDA approved and illegal to give under "emergency" status (law was ignored).

Ivermectin, HCQ + Azith + Zinc and other preventive supplements (much cheaper fixes) have been quashed and demonized by vaccine promoters, when they should have been promoted per the law ignored above. Why is that?

Covid is said to be 98.5% survivable. But, Covid tests are now known to be quite inaccurate, with many false positives, so it’s likely a higher percentage.

Covid vaccines are not really vaccines, but a genetic bot slurry, making the receiver a GMO.

“My body, my choice!” works for killing a baby in the womb, but not for vaccine choice. Why not?

The initial phase 3 trials had a control group. 25k (Phizer if I remember correctly) people for one of the vaccines. They inoculated their control group so no differential study can be made. Ever! Do you understand that is against the reason for a control group.

I got that you are pro vaccine but you never do this unless it’s an emergency. This wasn’t. People can opt out but they didn’t do that.

Why won’t you admit that this is all very suspicious.

Maybe he picks the experts he agrees with?
