I had to post this because Karl articulates so well the issues surrounding and before us.

And he willingly sacrificed his livelihood for the America we love.

(Note: WAPO is WLUC's parent company and note that Jeff Bezos was a child of a CIA Swamp beneficiary which connected him to tens of billions of CIA contract funds for his 2011 faltering Amazon online bookseller platform with instructions to buy the bankrupt teetering Washington Post for $125 million. Ergo, WAPO is a mouthpiece for the globalist CIA Davos group; "Great Reset", "Build Back Better" etc.)

There's a substantial protest on Karl's behalf briefly mentioned in this article. Let's pray Michiganders raise funds for his stabilization and encourage him to run for office

His excellent remarks follow below

His excellent remarks follow here below:

But a cloud has fallen over the land of the free, he wrote.

“The abrogation of our liberty and freedom under the guise of a pandemic is very disturbing to me. Hopefully, whether you lean right or left, you are concerned about what has occurred the last year-and-a-half."

“I just wanted to go about my business, ‘live and let live’, and keep my mouth shut. But this act by the federal government through corporate America has brought me to a crossroads. Our way of life, our freedom and liberty, is collapsing before our eyes,” Bohnak wrote.

He said personal freedom should be paramount.

“Many of you have taken one of these injections, and that is absolutely your right. It is also my right to choose the medical options I feel are right for me. I have authority over my body.”

Bohnak then laid out why he had refused the vaccine.

“I have decided against the vaccine option, first and foremost, because the manufacturers of these injections have absolutely no liability if injury or death occurs after the shot. I asked myself, would I buy brakes for my vehicle if the brake company had no liability if the brakes failed? No!"

“So, I will certainly not allow a medicine in my body from a company that does not stand behind its product,” he wrote.

Bohnak said he might have received the vaccine had the risk of death from COVID-19 been significant.

“However,” he wrote, “for a normally healthy adult not housed in a nursing home or not suffering from serious comorbidities, the chance of surviving COVID is well over 99 percent. I will take the chance and go without a shot. I choose not to risk serious side effects.”

“It’s time to wake up to what is occurring here in America and across the world,” he continued.

“We are being bludgeoned with fear, I believe, in an effort to control us. Eminent doctors, virologists and epidemiologists who post facts contradicting the ‘official’ accepted narrative regarding COVID are being censored; some are losing their jobs. "

“It’s time to honor those who served. For me, I honor them by saying ‘Enough! I have the right to choose — we all do. If we do nothing, we will lose that right.”

Bohnak concluded with “a distillation of a portion of Jefferson’s masterpiece, the Declaration of Independence: ‘When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.’

“Those who love America and the freedom and liberty it stands for, must speak up. Hopefully, it’s not too late,”

he wrote.

Good for him on taking a stand. Kudos Karl.

Never before have so many shown so little trust in vaccines that they claim are absolutely essential.

[Thunder90]

Gov Whitmer is trying to extend the vaccine and mask mandate to all Michigan employers.

[I want the USA back]

The nazis won. He lost his job over a doubtful medical procedure. Now that they have conditioned us to bend over and do what they say over an inflated virus, they will expect us to get on our knees and bow down saying alla alla oh master what is your bidding? And it won’t be about a virus. It will be whatever they want us to do.

I am feeling those same dark clouds. A 30 year career potentially in jeopardy. I am willing to accept whatever sacrifice for freedom.

This whole pressure campaign to receive the jab is really creepy.

“A cloud has fallen over the land of the free.”

[Manic_Episode]

Corporate America has become an federalized and weaponized extension of the communist state to deprive us of our rights.

[VastRWCon]

I got the Regeneron, the lady working there told me that if you get the Regeneron you must wait 90 days before getting any of the vaccines. She also said you can come back in 2 months and get the Regeneron again.

That’s my work plan, they have started talking about requiring the vax.

[qaz123]

I’ve lost out on 3 jobs for not getting the shot. Bad on me? Time will tell.

With all the lies that Fauci, the doctors and hospitals have been caught spewing, it’s hard for me to believe anything anymore. Every hospital is overflowing with the ‘unvaccinated’. The ‘unvaccivated’ are dying. I’m not trying to downplay their deaths, but in the few articles of covid porn that I’ve read, where the deceased says they wished they’d received the shot, pretty much all of them show a person that fits the definition of one that is most vulnerable. I don’t know.

Israel and the UK are dealing with insane numbers and their countries are almost 100% vaccinated.

But, when you have a virus that someone can get. They get tested at Walgreens or a Doc In A Box. They come up positive and are told to go home, rest, drink Pedialyte, take Tylenol and call back if symptoms worsen. Then, there’s no follow up to see if they’re still positive. I’m having a hard time with all of this.

I don’t know how many of you do the Twitter thing with any regularity. I only go on there if I want to see something that is in another article. But, some of the liberals on there are absolutely insane. It makes you wonder how some of them function in life.

I guess, at the end of the day, some time in the future we’ll be finding out just what these shots have in store for the folks that got them. My mom still deals with issues after getting one.

Will, as some have suggested, the shot cause your immune system to be so compromised that the coming flu season will be disastrous?

Is it true that those that took the shot can’t donate blood?

[Hot Tabasco]

What happened to the left wing, baby killing, pro abortion mantra of “My body, my choice”?

Saw where employees at General Dynamics took and stand and said no we will not take the Vax...Company backed down.

a cloud has fallen over the land of the free ~WLUC Weatherman Karl Bohnak Fired After 33 Years on the Job for Refusing Vaccine

Tagline worthy, so I’m posting it on the tagline thread

A freedom fighter. Hero. God bless him.

We ALWAYS win when anyone fights the good fight of faith and freedom.

Full statement from Facebook:

---

Today, it is with a heavy heart, I announce after over 33 years, I am no longer employed at TV6.

I am sad, but, to borrow a quote from a famous ballplayer, “I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth” because I had a dream as a kid to be a weatherman. That dream came true and to top it off, I got to broadcast weather for one of the most challenging, beautiful spots in the United States. As an added bonus, the people I broadcast to all across Upper Michigan were so kind and encouraging.

Thank you for watching.

I am leaving TV6 because the station's corporate owner, Gray Television, has mandated vaccination against COVID-19 for anyone entering a property owned by the company. Since I chose not to take one of the shots, I was fired. Many of you have taken one of these injections, and that is absolutely your right. It is also my right to choose the medical options I feel are right for me. I have authority over my body.

I have decided against the vaccine option, first and foremost, because the manufacturers of these injections have absolutely no liability if injury or death occurs after the shot. I asked myself, would I buy brakes for my vehicle if the brake company had no liability if the brakes failed? No! So, I will certainly not allow a medicine in my body from a company that does not stand behind its product.

Now, if the risk of death from COVID would be significant, I might take a chance and get injected. However, for a normally healthy adult not housed in a nursing home or not suffering from serious comorbidities, the chance of surviving COVID is well over 99 percent. I will take the chance and go without a shot. I choose not to risk serious side effects.

The abrogation of our liberty and freedom under the guise of a pandemic is very disturbing to me. Hopefully, whether you lean right or left, you are concerned about what has occurred the last year-and-a-half. I just wanted to go about my business, “live and let live”, and keep my mouth shut. But this act by the federal government through corporate America has brought me to a crossroads. Our way of life, our freedom and liberty, is collapsing before our eyes.

Many of you have served in the U.S. military or you know friends, relatives and family members who have served. It's a strong tradition here in the U.P. They have served, and some have given their limbs and even their lives to preserve our freedom and liberty. It's time to wake up to what is occurring here in America and across the world. We are being bludgeoned with fear, I believe, in an effort to control us. Eminent doctors, virologists and epidemiologists who post facts contradicting the “official” accepted narrative regarding COVID are being censored; some are losing their jobs. It's time to honor those who served. For me, I honor them by saying “Enough! I have the right to choose—we all do. If we do nothing, we will lose that right.

One last thought—a distillation of a portion of Jefferson's masterpiece, the Declaration of Independence: “When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” Those who love America and the freedom and liberty it stands for, must speak up. Hopefully, it's not too late.

Gray broadcasting is NOT owned by the Washington Post. It is a oublicly traded, independent company.
