On September 9, President Joe Biden gave one of the most divisive and discordant speeches in modern American history.
During the speech, Biden announced “the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees, that together employ over 80 million workers, to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week.”
First, Biden’s announcement of a federal vaccine mandate is in complete contradiction to what he said about nationwide vaccine mandates late last year. In December, Biden said, “No I don't think it should be mandatory, I wouldn't demand it be mandatory.”
Second, Biden’s vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. The federal government does not have the authority to mandate vaccines. That power resides with the states, per the Tenth Amendment. This fact was confirmed by Jen Psaki, Biden’s White House Press Secretary, earlier this year, when she said, implementing a vaccine mandate “is not the role of the federal government.”
Third, the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate is anti-science because it ignores natural immunity.
To date,179 million Americans have been fully vaccinated. Moreover, 209 million Americans have received at least one vaccination shot. That means approximately 120 million Americans (including children under the age of 12, for which vaccines have not been authorized) remain unvaccinated.
However, according to the National Institutes of Health, about 100 million Americans have natural immunity to COVID-19. Forcing individuals with natural immunity to receive a COVID-19 vaccination is not only completely unnecessary, it is possibly dangerous.
Fourth, Biden’s mandate is an all-out assault on personal liberty.
Biden said, “This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you.” He is absolutely wrong. Every American has the freedom to decide whether or not he or she should receive a medical procedure, including a vaccination. In fact, it is the epitome of freedom and personal choice.
Fifth, during his speech, Biden claimed, “We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers.” That is absolutely absurd. Time and time again, the Biden administration has claimed that the vaccines are full-proof. So, why in the world would we need to protect the vaccinated from those who choose not to be?
Obviously, there is no need to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. The entire point of the vaccine is to protect oneself from a severe case of COVID-19. The vaccinated, by and large, have nothing to worry about concerning the unvaccinated.
In fact, in the same speech wherein he disparaged the unvaccinated as being potentially perilous to the vaccinated, Biden contradicted himself, again.
According to Biden, “as the science makes clear, if you’re fully vaccinated, you’re highly protected from severe illness, even if you get COVID-19.”
If this is the case, as indeed it is, why the vitriol towards the unvaccinated? As the president made clear, the odds of a vaccinated person suffering a severe “breakthrough” case is infinitesimally miniscule.
Therefore, claiming that the unvaccinated pose a risk to the vaccinated is unwarranted and untruthful.
Sixth, during his speech, Biden implored parents to have their children vaccinated, saying, “The safest thing for your child 12 and older is to get them vaccinated. They get vaccinated for a lot of things. That’s it. Get them vaccinated.”
Yet, the data tell a different story. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 300 teenagers have been diagnosed with Myocarditis and/or Pericarditis (heart inflammation) after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
Fortunately, it seems as if Americans, who for the most part abided by a plethora of government restrictions and rules for the past 18 months, have had enough.
For instance, on September 13, New Yorkers protested the vaccine mandate. According to one protestor, “I think what they’re doing in America, they’re taking away our rights about all decisions, medical decisions, we’re standing here we’re letting the government take over everything.”
Another protestor complained, “I should be able to make my own health decisions and make a decision that doesn’t affect my employment that doesn’t affect my right to go to a restaurant, or a Broadway play, a museum.”
Make no mistake, President Biden, who thinks a nationwide vaccine mandate “is not about freedom or personal choice” is clearly mistaken.
where is the mandate for welfare recipients? why are only working people subjected to this fascist dictate?
Ill Douche Benito Biden and his puppetmasters are now fully embracing the demons from hell.
White House staffers are not required to be jabbed..
A government that will concoct a rationale to force you to to submit to an invasive medical procedure “for your own safety” from a marginally dangerous virus can devise a rationale for anything it wishes to do to make you submit.
And history has shown us that a government that will resort to these methods to obtain your compliance in this fashion will do ANYTHING to you to achieve their goals.
For the “Greater Good”. Always for the “Greater Good”.
>>White House staffers are not required to be jabbed..
Neither is congress, or anyone that works for congress.
“The federal government does not have the authority to mandate vaccines. That power resides with the states, per the Tenth Amendment.”
Only if the state legislature has has passed a bill to their state constitution to force vaccines on people. I doubt ANY state has done this, so far.
And beside, why stop at vaccines? The tyrants will now force anything on you (for the greater good).
How come they never go hound illegals and refugees who have tuberculous or hepatitis or any other third world disease?
At no time in history have the people forcing others into compliance been the good guys...
“Forcing individuals with natural immunity to receive a COVID-19 vaccination is not only completely unnecessary, it is possibly dangerous.”
I’ve not yet seen good data on this.
Mein Shtruggle! You know, the thing!
I haven’t seen any good data, or any data, on the long term effects of these “vaccines”.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
Yeah. Kids do "get vaccinated for a lot of things".
But in every single one of these cases, the vaccines were safely developed and tested, and the risk/benefit analysis pointed UNEQUIVOCALLY to the benefit of vaccination.
In the case of COVID, the HIGHEST mortality rate for ALL infected of ALL ages is realistically at most between 1.0-2.5%, is weighted heavily towards elderly and compromised people and VANISHINGLY small for those under the age of 18.
And there are valid indications there are potentially serious vaccine side effects on a vaccine rushed into production for political purposes. At young ages, the risk/benefit analysis makes the vaccine potentially more dangerous than the virus itself.
THIS.
Bingo. You are 100% correct.
I never got mild Smallpox, mild Typhoid, mild Yellow Fever, mild Plague, etc.
It’s almost like the Covid vaccine isn’t really a vaccine…
Pfascism is definitely “not about freedom and personal choice”.
It is about slavery and obedience.
We _get_ it.
No one will ever be fully vaccinated thanks to the variant generating leaky vaccines.
“…not about freedom or personal choice…”
Plugs: “.. Because we have done AWAY with your freedom and personal choice!… now let’s go get ice cream…”
