Has COVID Backlash Sparked a Movement?
American Thinker ^ | 20 Jan, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 01/20/2023 4:37:12 AM PST by MtnClimber

The government's determination to censor Americans' COVID experiences has only strengthened their resolve.

Friends of freedom generally agree about four points:

(1) Protections for expansive individual liberty and respect for limited government are essential for the promotion of human rights, self-determination, and prosperity.

(2) Over the course of American history, the U.S. government has strayed far beyond the original limitations of its enumerated powers as set forth in the Constitution.

(3) Globalism, international government, plutocracy, rule by "elite" experts, unchecked bureaucracy, and the steady erosion of inalienable rights all work to maximize the power of centralized authority while minimizing the power of individual citizens.

(4) The most important conflict raging today is between individual liberty and coercive State control.

SNIP

As an important example of how quickly social revolutions can upend entire systems, I encourage you to take a look at a recent article on The Conservative Treehouse in which intrepid intellectual warrior Sundance has asked his readers a simple question: if you did not take the COVID-19 shots, why not? The impetus for his inquiry comes from an informal poll he had conducted showing that 85% of CTH's Twitter followers remained un-jabbed. Even though his readers have always had a healthy skepticism of government, Sundance was surprised that such a high percentage would have withstood the years-long pressure campaign for universal "vaccination" from the combined efforts of government, news media, medical authorities, and corporate proselytizers. What he got in response to his question is nothing less than stunning.

"Fear is the foundation of most governments."
-- John Adams

When combined with widespread ignorance, fear is the most effective way to get people to voluntarily -- if not willingly -- surrender even their unalienable rights to ever-present, self-serving politicians and, especially, to unelected bureaucrats ... then live to regret doing so.

Rather telling he wont answer questions about his company’s product. If he didn’t know that the product wasn’t up to snuff, he certainly would have known by the time the Israelis were in discussions about boosting sometime around mid 2021 or even before that..

“These are interesting times...”

Interesting times indeed. And I still can’t get anyone to tell me the purpose of constantly testing yourself for the virus, even if you feel perfectly fine.

I was checking out at the pharmacy yesterday, and the card reader had a message, “You may be eligible for a free Covid testing kit. Ask your pharmacist if you qualify.” If you are sick, you are sick so take something for the symptoms and drink your orange juice and water, and boost your Vitamin D intake. What is testing going to do to help?

Also, have you ever heard of any type of virus where there were no recommendations for home treatment? Where were all the doctors recommending the usual treatments for symptom relief? Those that would speak out were silenced and we weren’t able to question anyone why the only recommendation was “wait until you are sick enough and then go to the hospital”.

I have yet to test for Covid even though I’ve had a couple of mild colds over the past three years. What purpose would it serve? And, I’m not getting the vaxx shot either.

“That’s exactly right, here in FR, when someone posts an article about someone dropping dead from a heart attack in the prime of their lives, a number of people on FR will make a derogatory post about “stop blaming the vaccines”, etc...even though there is ample evidence of heart damage especially in young people brought on by the vaccines.”

Just this morning, I have read elsewhere of a boy, age 14, dying of cardiac arrest, a young Scotswoman (age 33) suddenly dying, and a young man and soon-to-be father, dying in his sleep. There is also the story of award-winning chef dying “suddenly” at age 48.

No matter what people insist, this is not normal. Previously, such instances were rare and autopsies were performed to determine the cause. Autopsies used to be required if an otherwise healthy person died suddenly at home. Now, local coroners shrug as if to say “another one gone”, and then return to their office to await the next call.

None of which have anything to do with public health.

If anyone wants their hair curled, do a search on the phrase “meaningful use”.

If you wanna get PO’d add the word reimbursement.

I’m thinking that electronic medical records, like CoupFlu policy, is something else that has NEVER been about public health.

I think a lot of us who refused the shot had a single key question that made us refuse. For my wife, it was the question you asked. For me, it was "If it's so deadly, why are our borders open?"

Then the fear-mongering began, and I started seeing commercials by doctors and nurses saying "Don't come to see us! We have families and we don't want to die." At the point, I called my doc and she said, "Binge some classic movies, start in on your D and C supplements, and let me know the instant you get these symptoms."

That was it for me being worried, but it was the start of me getting a wee bit zealous when it came to forcing me or mine to get a shot. Guess that was when I joined the movement. lol

I’m not sure we will ever know the full truth, are all of these deaths of young people caused by the vaccines, probably not, but some surely are considering all the evidence for heart damage caused by them.

There is a lot you can do to the population and they will take it and not fight back, I think even the people who lied repeatedly thru covid know if the full truth were ever exposed some of them would be in serious danger of bodily harm.

I'd say this is true, but in reality, the biggest issue facing us are the number of sheeple who will swallow anything the mainstream media feeds them like a cheap whore.

"But there were plenty of “conservatives” who were all in on the statist COVID mandates even when there was data coming out about ineffectiveness"
We still have them here on FR (most claiming to be a member of the Medical Trust). I was a believer in our government push, and with my wife and brother, took the first two Pfizer shots. Laying my hand on my dead brother lying next to his bed a month later made me start questioning the whole scam. The "powers-that-be" want most of us dead.
