How Biden’s COVID-Testing Mandate Violates Civil Rights
National Review ^ | July 30, 2021 | Roger Severino

Yesterday President Biden announced that all federal workers who do not get vaccinated for COVID-19 will face a series of burdens and intrusions designed to raise the costs of not submitting to the shot(s). This is a threat to civil liberties that violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, but probably not in the way you think.

No COVID-19 vaccine on the market has yet been granted full FDA approval, only Emergency Use Authorization, which means, according to statute, that Americans have “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.” FDCA § 564(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III). In a shoddy legal memo, Biden DOJ appointee Dawn Johnsen has interpreted this statutory provision as merely informing people of their right to face severe consequences for opting-out, such as being summarily fired by their government employer. This, despite longstanding precedent from both a federal court and the FDA recognizing that military members are protected from forced administration of unapproved vaccines, even though their rights are generally more attenuated than other federal employees.

But that was then, this is now. According to our scare-monger-in-chief, vaccine dissenters practically have a death wish: “if you’re out there unvaccinated, you don’t have to die . . . get the vaccine.”

From now on, everyone working for the federal government will be asked for their vaccine papers and all undocumented federal workers and contractors “will be required to wear a mask on the job no matter their geographic location, physically distance from all other employees and visitors, comply with a weekly or twice weekly screening testing requirement, and be subject to restrictions on official travel.” If you think these are draconian measures, you are right, and that is precisely the point.

The only meaningful testing in relation to COVID-19 Wuhan virus is antibody testing. This “nasal swab” testing for “PRESENCE” of the virus particles is both misleading and not at all reliable in even keeping the samples uncontaminated. Lots of false positives out there.

COVID-19 is a giant scam a globalist plot to implement the great reset

Every single thing they say about it is a lie

There is no reason on the planet for lockdowns

Masks don’t work

It’s just a giant control scheme

Furthermore we’re about to have a Lotta big events happen in August and all the patriots have been talking about August August August

We’ve got the Arizona audit the Mike Lindel symposium on cyber security where he’s going to approve the electronic fraud

So of course the lying scumbag Democrats are going to try to ramp up the Covid Covid Covid garbage

I think at that point in which they really push it too far they’re going to get some serious pushback like for seeing in Europe

At WHAT point do I have to have a tattoo on my arm, proving I was vaccinated?

Will that be BEFORE or AFTER I am taken to the ‘shower’?
