“You know,” Rep. Chip Roy is telling RealClearPolitics after balking at the administration’s latest COVID vaccine push and after all but telling President Biden to pound sand, “my dad had polio.”
It is a surprising start to the interview given that, about an hour earlier, the congressman tweeted a black-and-white image of a syringe. Federal health officials continue to have a hard time getting all Americans vaccinated against the coronavirus, and Biden had promised to send people “door-to-door" to get doses to the vulnerable. For Roy, that is when the president went too far. Hence, the cartoon syringe, a play on the famous “Come and Take It” flag, this time with an updated caption—“Come Inject It.”
Merchandise branded with that slogan will be available soon on his campaign website, but as the second-term Republican explains while driving along Interstate 10 somewhere in south Texas, he knows the importance of inoculation. He saw what can happen without them. “I grew up and I watched him live a life ravaged by that disease,” Roy says of his father. “I'm very pro-vaccine.”
The congressman calls the vaccine that banished polio “a great blessing.” He is “delighted” that children no longer have to worry about that debilitating disease. “Likewise,” Roy adds, “I’m delighted there are millions of people who are able to avail themselves of a [coronavirus] vaccine that they believe, in their calculation, is good for them and their well-being. That is great.”
He’s ticked off all the same. “I’m just sick and God-darn tired of the left, and this government, dictating to me, frankly, anything at all,” he says. “Back the F off. That's my message to the White House.”

THIS is what Sebelius, Fauci, all the DemonRats/Leftists who are determined for us to get the jab know ....
I repeat my comment from https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3975014/posts?page=18#18
For sure, vaccinated people will get sick and die because the drug companies report “relative” risk rather than “absolute” risk ... very misleading. They do this all the time in their drug advertisements .... mathmatical jiu-jitsu.

“Examining a statistic called absolute risk reduction — the number of percentage points that an individual’s risk goes down if they do something “protective” — the two companies’ COVID vaccines barely make a dent at all, reducing someone’s risk of experiencing COVID symptoms (the clinical trials’ endpoint) by less than 1%. This is the practical number that people are likely to care about most.
Knowing the paltry real-world impact of the injections on someone’s risk of developing COVID symptoms, how many people swayed by the misleading “95% effective” mantra might instead have decided to refuse the vaccines ....
In November — just before the FDA issued its initial Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Pfizer’s COVID vaccine — Doshi cautioned the public that Pfizer’s and Moderna’s efficacy results seemed dramatic only because the companies derived them from relative risk data.
Absolute risk, simply explained, is “the likelihood that an outcome will occur.” Relative risk “compares the risk of a health event … among one group with the risk among another group.”
Pfizer told the FDA that eight (of approximately 22,000) volunteers in its vaccine group developed a PCR-confirmed case of COVID-19, versus 162 of 22,000 volunteers in the placebo group. Moderna reported a similar spread — five out of 15,000 in the vaccine group versus 90 out of 15,000 in the placebo group.
When one does the math, the Pfizer clinical trial numbers showed: “The risk reduction in absolute terms [was] only 0.7%, from an already very low risk of 0.74% [in the placebo group] to a minimal risk of 0.04% [in the vaccine group].” (Dividing 0.7 — the difference between the two groups — by 0.74 is the mathematical calculation that produced the touted “95% effective” number).”
Figures don’t lie but liars sure as hell figure don’t they?
I like that!
You know Governor Abbott already had TX National Guard go door to door ro vaccinate homebound seniors earlier this year.
Vaccines that work are one thing, vaccines that have already caused over 9,00 deaths, as well as, over 400,000 adverse reactions is a totally different matter. Especially when employers are demanding that their employees play Russian Roulette, or lose their employment. A shot of an experimental “vaccine” in which some are still being infected with the virus, and many others dying or are left with serious adverse affects. It becomes yet one more thing to further divide this nation to hasten its collapse.

I guess this can be something else Col West can question Abbott out about, especially since XiDen is taking this plan, and putting it on steroids ;-)
Did they pay you a visit? You may have said, before, apologies if I forgot.
I can just hear what you would’ve told them!! 😂
i’m working on a new sign to post on my entrance gate...
