She can forget getting her freedom back. She can get the vax until she is blue in the face, but she is still not getting her freedom back. Freedom is like virginity, once it is lost, it is lost forever
I find a few things notable. I am posting these comments to those I am beginning to think of as “Vax Nazis”...(Those to whom I refer below):
1. Some here seem to be trying to censor alternative views...Just like some did when Trump announced his candidacy in 2015...Oh yes, those of us who were the initial Trump supporters were harassed until FR became Trump Country.
These posters attack articles questioning the vaccines—referring to doctors and researchers presenting any negative information regarding the vaccines as quacks or imbeciles—yet often these posters don’t present their credentials or links substantiating their attacks...
Over and over, I see many of the same names on these threads—those seemingly perched and waiting to attack anyone who posts an article about vaccine issues/concerns/problems or anyone who comments that they are not wanting the “vaccine” or waiting until realistic long-term cost/benefits can be determined.
Yet, I don’t see the “vaccine hesitant” attacking those who want the vaccine. I have some family who have gotten the vaccines. That is their choice—good or bad, and they and I will have to live with it. Getting the vaccine or not getting the vaccine is a major decision, and an individual decision.
Since getting the jab is a major decision, I want information posted here because other media sites are censoring. The more info, the better. Alternative? Sure. Fringe? Sure...What we might have considered as alternative or fringe a decade ago on many issues is not today... Let me decide what I want to read/trust/believe.
And you know what, there is plenty of information out there promoting the vaccines—Mainstream media, PSAs, celebs, pols, CDC, Fauci, etc. You all don’t need to attack in order to promote the vaccine.
2. Some feel that because President Trump initiated Warp Speed, not supporting the vaccines is unpatriotic or not being supportive of Trump (I have seen that posted to me). I don’t agree with anyone about everything...including Trump, but I was part of the “crawl thru broken glass to support Trump crowd” in 2016 and 2020.
Problem is that now Biden et. al. are pushing (very hard push) for everyone including adolescents and young adults to get the vaccines using Carrots or sticks...Vax Live concerts, Celebs and media influencers abound who are proudly displaying their vax experience and pushing the vax. Want to go to ballgame? Show your vax card...Same for some universities.
So it is being suggested that this fall, we are to have our high schoolers get the vaccine. Is this what we should do in the name of supporting Trump’s original initiative? Are we to now trust Biden? Remember Trump went to Fauci for guidance/expertise (a logical choice at the time)...However, we know a lot more about Fauci now than Trump did then... especially as it relates to Fauci’s unauthorized funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
3. Messaging changes and Goalposts seem to be CONTINUALLY moving...Now Fauci wants youngsters to get vaccinated. He won’t define herd immunity percentages, and whether herd immunity includes those who contracted COVID-19 prior to vaccines. Even if one is vaccinated, they are still to wear masks and not dine indoors?! I read that Stanford is starting a Pfizer trial on infant COVID vaccines? Talk about goalposts moving!
BTW, on the campaign trail in 2016 Trump was concerned about the large number of vaccines that were being recommended/required for children...I wonder what his stance would be if he were in the Oval Office today.
4. Perhaps most important, those getting the vaccine seem to be agnostic on the topic losing freedom by tracking and ultimately participating in the CCP vaccine/social credit scoring globalist system. If no one got the jab, the vax pass would be a moot subject.
You all are welcome to get the jab, but please don’t harass posters who are presenting information or are questioning or hesitant.
Have a nice evening.
Although we had probably become conditioned to media hostility to Trump and all things conservative, the unreasonable hype about this virus stuff has been way over the top.
In my circle conservatives remain largely skeptical of media on both the virus and the vaccine, liberals are all in. As the posted article points out, ridiculing a questioning or differing view with "the science is settled" should be a red flag to most Freepers.
Amen to your post, dear F56v2!!
And, I also agree w/WhoIsAlan’s spot on comment, related to your excellent post....

Bravo to you, both!
