The American people must never lose sight of what makes our country great as we march toward victory in our ongoing efforts to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic. We will defeat this enemy while being true to our highest values, upholding the religious liberty and civil rights of our fellow citizens by rejecting vaccine mandates.
Oppressive COVID vaccine mandates are sweeping across this country, causing misery. Millions of Americans are threatened with losing their jobs. Some are from Joe Biden’s executive orders requiring all federal employees and contractors to get the vaccine, others from private-sector employers following Biden’s lead in their own companies, and millions more from the forthcoming Biden administration labor regulation that would apply to 80 million people.
Perhaps the most tragic aspect in this cavalcade of tragedies is that many of the people losing their jobs are the heroes of 2020. They’re frontline workers: police officers, firefighters, nurses, and doctors.
They’re the noble souls who put their lives on the line when we didn’t know how bad COVID might be. As terrible as this pandemic has been, there were early days when experts feared that it might be far deadlier and more destructive. These are the warriors who ran toward the sound of the gunfire, who charged into the breach to protect those in need.
Now, these courageous Americans are getting fired for disagreeing with the medical judgments of politicians and business executives.
Life is about managing risk. The goal can never be pursuing a zero-risk route because such a route often does not exist. That’s certainly the case with COVID-19. COVID will always pose some risk, and we need to wisely weigh the risk-benefit aspect of all possible responses to those posed by COVID itself.
Let me clearly and emphatically say what this is not about: This is not about whether COVID vaccines are effective, or good policy, or prudent risk management. Data suggest that the vaccine does a lot of good for many people and that for certain categories of people, risks from COVID far outweigh the risks of the vaccine.
But while many people of devout faith are okay with the vaccine, many other people religiously object to the vaccine. Even if they think COVID could kill them, they are willing to lose their life before they lose their faith. They commit themselves into God’s hands by following their conscience, even if they think the vaccine is effective and would safeguard their health.
Whether Almighty God regards taking the vaccine as being complicit in abortion is not the issue. In America, you have the constitutional right to be theologically wrong. You have that civil right to religious liberty, and the government can never take it away from you, either directly or by recruiting your private-company employer to do it.
So this is instead about the principle that the government must never be able to claim that trampling civil rights is justified for the “greater good.”
The “greater good” has been cited by authoritarian and totalitarian regimes for more than a century as a warrant for violating people’s human rights and dignity. Hitler’s Naziism, the Soviets’ all-encompassing communism, China’s less-comprehensive but still brutally oppressive communism—these and countless other abuses repeat the refrain that whatever it claims is the good of the many justifies sacrificing the few.
America is different. As our nation’s ambassador for human rights decades ago, I trumpeted to the world that the United States of America champions the rights of the few and even the individual. In this country, we recognize that every human being is made in the image of God, endowed by him as their Creator with inalienable rights and that the government exists by the consent of the governed to secure those rights.
That truth goes to the heart of American Exceptionalism. It makes us the Shining City upon the Hill, as the Pilgrims proclaimed when they moved to this continent four centuries ago, and as President Ronald Reagan famously reasserted during his time in office.
America is turning the corner on COVID. More people every week get through the disease, resulting in robust antibody protection. These numbers are supplemented by millions more who willingly get the vaccine without moral qualms, and while vaccine immunity is not nearly as effective as natural immunity, it significantly adds to the growing public safety that is beating this pandemic from China.
Experts say that by January the worst will be behind us. We must not allow Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other modern authoritarians to falsely claim that their trampling of civil rights is what saved us. We must get there without these mandates so that we reaffirm that the government must never crush someone because of their religious faith for the greater good.
The Nov/Dec Mandate deadlines gall me. They want as many jabs as possible, they're trying to get it done before people realize just how much they don't need (or want) the jabs.
Something very wrong going on. The government has a reason, and it's not COVID.
No, it’s not. I think it’s a trial balloon, to see how much BS they can get away with.
Watched your brief link this is what youtube placed after it.

Klauss Swab saying we will evolve to where we no longer need elections. And dreaming of everyone having a brain implant.
BARF! BARF!
The emphasis for controlling the spread of COVID-19 Wuhan virus is wrongly being placed on masking (ineffective on the best of days) and vaccinations, which are proving to confer immunity only on a very spotty basis, with the number of “breakthrough” infections in even “fully-vaccinated” individuals.
A more effective approach would be treatment of the individual after becoming infected, on the swiftest and most effective manner available, and that does not include injection with a mRNA based vaccine. The use of ivermectin, the hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin protocol, and monoclonal antibodies, have all proved to be highly effective if given quickly enough, before the infection has invaded the lung tissue. The program has been to DELAY treatment until heroic measures like ventilators or highly experimental drugs approved for “emergency use authorization” only are the remaining options.
Prevention is a much better and more cost-effective way. Fresh air and sunshine naturally destroy almost all to the COVID-19 virus particles, and for enclosed spaces, the use of ozone generators and UV-C light effectively destroy ALL COVID-19 virus particles, as well as most other pathogens and even the vectors that spread the disease. UV-C light and ozone area also destructive to most other living creatures, including human beings, so for ozone, treatment must be stopped about a half hour before it is safe to enter the closed area, and for UV-C light, the effects stop immediately when the power is switched off.
The individual human being also has this handy little tool kit, the immune response, in that once a disease pathogen has triggered the immune response, the antibodies formed in the body attack and neutralize any further infection from that pathogen. Also, prevention through consumption of zinc gluconate, which provides the zinc ion, and some kind of Zn++ ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, or Vitamin D3, to name a few, effectively stop the replication of the coronavirus particles.
Great article. Thank you for posting.
Whether it is my religious belief or something else, my instinct says I don’t need it. Shouldn’t that be enough?
They’re not joking. Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates are leaders of the Davos WEF gang.
Have you seen this? Highly recommended, when you have the time.
Who Is Bill Gates? (Full Documentary, 2020)

I agree with you, although I remember that this is what the ISIS hostages were told - it’s just a dress rehearsal!
All the wrong people are in positions of power. What is the risk of a crime of the century? What does that look like? These things have been done before with fewer conspirators. I don’t think we can rule it out.
Yes. I am aware how truly evil Bill is.
People are waking up to this illogical mandate BS:
THE PROTECTED NEED TO BE PROTECTED BY FORCING THE UNPROTECTED TO USE THE PROTECTION THAT DIDN’T PROTECT THE PROTECTED.
So, the question whether a person is jabbed or not, and that takes a blood sample to determine, which takes a jab to extract.
It's all so clear to me now.
And you will only get the required QR code after passing a blood test. They won’t be testing blood at the airport, just your QR code.
You beat me to it!
I love that and wonder who came up with it and it needs to go viral.
It came to me thru email
Start watching this outstanding documentary at about 1 hour 4 minutes in, when Gates & friends dive into the required nexus between vaccines and data, “Quantum-dot tags” injected into your skin that become permanent scannable records.
They say that they need a secure digital biometric identity for every human for their goal of 100% global vaccination to be realized.
I’m thinking that the “boosters” required to get your vaccine passport will contain scannable proof of each jab.

Sorry but I do not see an end to these insane mandates, there is nothing to indicate that outcome.
But what I do see is endless booster shots and deaths from the shots. Mounting medical bills for people who have gotten the shots and no end in sight.
Oh did I mention they are culling the herd.
Me, too. It’s good to see it getting out there.
