My first encounter with vaxxport tyranny took place last week at a Los Angeles gym, where I have been a member for two years. Abiding by an edict from the governor of California, the reception staff asked to see my vaccination card or a QR code before allowing me access to the facilities. I told the newly anointed gatekeepers that whether or not to partake of the vaccine was a personal medical decision, as in "my body, my choice." I made clear my resentment of the tyrannical invasion of my privacy — especially for the COVID "virus" that has demonstrated a 99.5+% survival rate for healthy, fit people under 70.
To be able to exercise that day, I later succumbed to the pressure, but not before snidely remarking that no one asks for the results of my TB test or hepatitis titer. After all, those diseases are more infectious and lethal than COVID.
My gym story does not end there. It took a pleasant twist, and yet drove home a cautionary tale tinged with irony. But I'll save that for the end. The bigger concern is that, across the world, countries are imposing severe restrictions on the unvaxxed. The unjabbed are denied access to places they should be rightfully free to use. In some places, such as Australia and Austria, interstate travel is proscribed, and they are mistreated and shamed for refusing vaccines cleared under dubious standards of emergency use approval (EUA). Their reasonable suspicion that Big Pharma is orchestrating a con game is scorned and derided. Any fear of vaccine despotism is ridiculed, and protests are ruthlessly put down, minimized, or ignored.
In America, such interdictions — ridiculous as they are — come from the very top.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but it sounds like the author is a jackass who ranted and pontificated about COVID vaccines and “my body, my choice” … but had actually been vaccinated anyway.
Vaxx vapor rub. Get your viraxx.
Now for how the gym story ended, leaving me gobsmacked. The staff complained about my tirade to the owner, but she wrote me a conciliatory email, saying she is an immigrant from a communist country and believes strongly in freedom of choice. She wrote that she was gravely alarmed at the degree of repression and censorship in America today, but as a business-owner who built her American dream from the ground up -- three facilities in upscale Los Angeles neighborhoods -- she was determined to survive and avoid onerous daily fines. Instead of banishment from her gym (what I expected), she offered private outdoor sessions under her tutelage -- sans mask and authorization papers.
So he, like me, is not opposed to the vaccination but is opposed to the mandate.
First time I’ve seen this.
My body my choice is exclusively owned by the democrats and their lemmings like racism is owned by the blacks
A Catholic claiming a religious exemption when the Pope says to be vaccinated? That’s rich. A whole lot of people are finding religion these days.
Some medical centers in my area are denying treatment unless patients get a Covid-19 test first.
What’s so odd? She chose to get vaccinated, as was her right, but objects to intrusive inquiries about her medical history. She didn’t rant or pontificate about the vaccines at all.
BTW, your tagline misquotes the lyrics of The Boxer.
I’ve heard that some employers are putting employees on “Leave without pay”. That means they just stop sending you any paychecks. But you’re not fired. And you didn’t quit. So no unemployment benefits for you. It’s evil and spiteful.
Thanks for the note about my tagline. If the line is misquoted, then the source where I got it is wrong! LOL.
I'm due to change it one of these days anyway. I try to update it every month or so.
The guy caved, had the Vax and provided his papers. Pathetic POS.
I don’t see it. She pointed out that her vaccination was a personal choice, as a justification for asserting that her personal, private choice was not the gym’s business. She didn’t use it as an argument for or against vaccination in general, because it isn’t.
In other words, “my body, my choice” carries the implication of “and therefore none of your business”. That’s what I see here.
The author’s name is Janet Levy, so I’m assuming she’s a woman. I could be wrong.
To be able to exercise that day, I later succumbed to the pressure ...
P.S. -- This is why government and business leaders have no reservations about imposing these outrageous mandates. At least 60% of the population supports them, and at least half the remaining 40% are such compliant and docile p#ssies that they'll cave on it anyway.
“Some medical centers in my area are denying treatment unless patients get a Covid-19 test first”
While harsh, there’s some logic to it. Testing allows the medical centre to decide which team gets to see you.
In the UK there are A & B teams at the ED. A treats infected - or those where their condition is not known - or they refuse to be tested. B treats those with no detection of the virus. It helps reduce the risk of cross infections on wards etc. It also means that medical staff, who are at higher risk if they catch covid, are in the B team.
Exactly.
Freedom of religion says NOTHING of following the human words of the Pope. Catholics pay attention when the Pope speaks “ex-cathedra” as the only time he speaks infallibly.
