Video: ‘Ethics’ Prof. Says Americans Will Take Vaccine In Exchange For Return Of Freedom
Summit News ^ | 03/08/2021 | Steve Watson

Posted on 03/09/2021 6:41:10 AM PST by Jan_Sobieski

CNN provided a platform for NYU medical ‘ethics’ professor Arthur Caplan Sunday, who argued that Americans skeptical of taking the COVID vaccine will soon come around and accept it if their freedoms otherwise remain restricted.

Caplan argued that allowing people to have their freedoms returned after lockdown is the most “powerful incentive” to push the vaccine.

“If you promise people more mobility, more ability to get a job, more ability to get travel, that’s a very powerful incentive to actually achieve fuller vaccination,” Caplan told Fareed Zakaria.

The segment even began with the infamous ‘show me your papers’ scene from the movie...

“A global fascist system is coming. Get right with Jesus Christ and be prepared...”

You may be right. I’m not getting vaccinated for the short term, don’t need it, don’t want the risks. But, at some point, I’ll want to go to a concert, or a game, or something and they will require me to be vaccinated. At that point, I’ll most likely cave in.

Promise people what it’s not yours to give. That certainly sounds like an ethics professor.

Coercion.

Same tactic the Left takes against religious teachings.

HR to employees/academia to students:

“You want to be employed? recant!”

No. I will not.

Because I know the scum will never give back what they take no matter what I do. So I will never comply.

I don’t have Stockholm Syndrome.

I suspect the professor is correct. You’ll notice CDC has begun to recommend relaxed protocols for those who’ve been vaccinated. I suspect that is because they realize that is a more effective incentive than ‘get vaccinated and continue to wear a mask.’

Freedom to non negotiable. But come to think of it, our founders did take and give several shots in exchange for it.

The guy doesn’t see how his statement is an oxymoron?

Freedom is gone.

We live in a technocracy - 50,000 pages of government CFRs that run this country and decide on how much water your toilet uses or what lightbulb you use.

This bureaucratic technocracy serves itself and the corrupt politicians serving themselves and those sponsoring them.

Freedom merely has degenerated into some small area where people can express themselves by claiming they are gay, dying their hair green or running a metal spike through their nose.

If you think we still live in a Republic and Freedom is alive, riddle me this: Of the Bill of Rights, which one has not been abridged? What “rights” do you have?

No, I’m taking the vaccine because I want to. If I were mandated by my company, I would take the vaccine and quit my job at the same time. I want to take the vaccine, I just don’t want to be ORDERED to take the vaccine.

Considering a lot of performers and athletes hate our guts, you can probably skip the vaccine and simultaneously do society a good turn by not giving these idiots money.

If earning a living becomes dependent on proof of vaccination Ill find a way to manufacture or obtain that proof

For entertainment? F**K no I am not furthering or affirming their agenda for that.

Caplan argued that allowing people to have their freedoms

"Freedom" according to Caplan is being forced to have a Proof of Vaccination Card to go anywhere, enter any business or as a condition for work.

Some freedom - until the next "crises" appears.
