Hundreds in Chicago Police Department still not vaccinated, despite Wednesday’s deadline to receive the shots

As the latest deadline for Chicago police officers to get the COVID-19 vaccine came and went Wednesday, the remaining holdouts in the department found themselves once again facing off with the city over who would blink first.

Under a court-ordered arbitrator’s ruling in February, the approximately 12,000 employees of the Chicago Police Department had until Wednesday to get the second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or the first shot of the Johnson & Johnson version.

That decision came after months of contention between Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara over her vaccination requirement for all city employees, a rivalry that played out in public finger-pointing and, at one point, dueling lawsuits.

As of Monday, 2,120 Police Department members remained unvaccinated; the city did not have more updated figures on Wednesday. But not all unvaccinated cops face losing their police powers as a result of failing to comply, as 1,439 of them have approved religious and medical exemptions.

That means up to 681 police employees — or 5.5% of the Police Department — could be refusing to get the vaccine without a valid accommodation in place. Those who aren’t waiting on a pending exemption could be placed on no-pay status, should the city decide to enforce its mandate by stripping their police powers as it has in the past, albeit gradually.

As Mike Rowe said:

‘The fact is, millions of reasonable Americans have every right to feel confused and skeptical. Those people you refer to, Steve – the ones now telling us that we can “get back to normal just as soon as everyone is vaccinated” – those are the same people who said, “two weeks to flatten the curve!”

‘Those are the same people who told us that masks were “useless” before they told us they were “critical.”

‘Those are the same people who told us that a return to normalcy would occur just as soon as “the most vulnerable” among us were vaccinated. Then, just as soon as “half the population” was vaccinated. Then, just as soon as we achieved “herd immunity.”

‘Those are the same people who told us they wouldn’t trust ANY vaccine developed under the last administration.

‘Now, those very same people are belittling the skeptics!’

“This so-called pandemic is nothing but a big con.”

It is and it isn’t.

I agree that large parts of it are a con— the danger is overstated, the testing produces a lot of false positives, other illnesses, such as flu, that people have are attributed to Covid-19.

But something strange is going on out there. It may be a biological weapon that is sprayed by infiltrators into the airspace of unsuspecting people.

Whatever it is, vaccines are not the answer. Neither are masks or lockdowns.

Of interest to those researching.

“There has got to be more going on here than the virus.

There is a dog that is not barking.”

The below video interview may answer many of the issues raised by the persons being pinged here.
Have had many of the same questions for two years now.

If the information in the video below, presented succinctly and with compelling detail by the interviewee, is accurate - as it appears to be - regarding what C19 is really, and from whence it came - it will simplify all personal decisionmaking considerably.

Caveat: Never really considered that snake venom could be involved, but it certainly does explain why so much antivenom has been pulled off the world market. Also, why specific nutrients are effective.

“WORLD PREMIERE: WATCH THE WATER FULL MOVIE”

A transcript of this video is needed. Because this new information so radical, decided that it was critical to watch again, and suggest doing same.

The visuals contained in this and the title seem to indicate spread by being placed into water supplies.

Note that the forecasts of c19 outbreaks are being predicted according to the amount of “virus” in the wastewater, and also recall that originally there was a fetish for the Chinese demanding that diplomats and others to tested by being swabbed anally, until the indignant resistance became sufficiently great.

Question here: can a “venom” be spread by touch contact as well as “viruses”? That is, could venom be rubbed onto an item, and then be received into the body . . . or transferred to the mouth? Is this a viable method of transfer?

Reason being, in an area of large Oriental tourism, including Chinese, many tourists and/or obvious nonamericans had been observed in restaurants and walmarts touching, handling - overly so - merchandise and food before and during the first breakouts.

Consider this worthy of investigation, for proof or disproof of this video’s POV.

Aside from the one question we are addressing here, the hypothesis presented of venom fits way too well for comfort.

What would be the relationship of what you show here and aortic aneurysms?

CDC website

Aortic aneurysms can dissect or rupture: The force of blood pumping can split the layers of the artery wall, allowing blood to leak in between them. This process is called a dissection. The aneurysm can burst completely, causing bleeding inside the body. This is called a rupture. Dissections and ruptures are the cause of most deaths from aortic aneurysms.
