Pritzker to require 70% of elderly get vaccines before lifting more COVID-19 restrictions
Center Square ^ | 3/18/21 | Cole Lauterbach

Before Illinois residents can return to what Gov. J.B. Pritzker calls a “new normal,” he says 7-in-10 residents 65 and older must get a COVID-19 vaccination.

Pritzker appeared in Chicago on Thursday to announce the requirements the state must meet before he will remove his restrictions on businesses and crowd capacities.

“It’s time to cautiously move toward normalcy,” he said. “It’s imperative that we do so in a way that maintains all the progress we’ve made to date.”

Notably, Pritzker said 70% of the state’s 65 and older residents must get vaccinated.

“I’m optimistic about reaching that milestone because, as of this morning, that number is 58%,” he said.

In a release, his office said 28 days of low viral spread and other metrics must follow that vaccination threshold before he would begin to “turn the dial” toward his final “Phase 5” mitigations.

Just picking a number out of his ass.

No wait, his staff picked a number out of their collective asses.

I guarantee one of his mandarins brought a report -- nay, a PowerPoint! -- that said a 70% Illinois 65+ vaccinated target won't be hit until after Labor Day.

Look, it comes down to this - one mega-concert is going to break the dam in the Midwest:

Is he going to pick the 7 out of 10 who have to get the vaccine too?

I hope the fat bastard’s waiting for this old man to get vaccinated.

Several years ago a missionary from Africa called my pastor to tell him about a dream of warning he had. In the dream he saw a wolf in sheep’s clothing venture into a herd of sheep. They accepted the wolf into the flock, and all seemed well.

Then the wolf took a syringe and began to inoculate the sheep. They began to fall over and die. He asked the pastor to warn the people.

It makes a person take pause, doesn’t it?

I’m 69, in very good shape, strong immune system and no symptoms (knock on wood). I do not get an annual flu shot. I reluctantly got the shingle shots.

I’m not taking this vaccination because of the above reasons. Plus it has not been FDA approved, only authorized. To my knowledge there have not been any animal trials. I believe Pritzker’s act is unconstitutional and unethical.

The good part he gave me another reason to take my wealth to another state. See ya, fat boy!

It does and it is happening here in the good ole U.S of A.

As far as I am concerned they can go fornicate with themselves.

NAZI Socialists had...

- Hitler (racist & anti-Semitic)
- Goebbels (propaganda liar)
- Mengele (dismemberment of humans)
- Brownshirts (private terrorists)

...and the DNC uses the same satanic tools.

Well, what if 4 in 10 seniors don’t want to be forced into having the vaccine. Only idiots think everyone wants this witch’s brew of chemicals injected into them.

That’s interesting. I’ve only had a couple of dreams come true. One rather remarkably. I took the dream as a warning and did not act on the phone call I got the next morning. It was a job offer. That job never materialized anyways. Which is what the dream had warned me about.

Makes no sense. Younger people who are vaccinated should not be held hostage to older people who are not.

**************************************************

Older people who are not vaccinated should not be made a target to younger people who are.

Illinois is very helpful for the Indiana economy.
The border on the Indiana side is full of prosperous liquor, gun, and fireworks stores.

They “must” get vaccinated. Or else — what?

They give you a paper document when you are vaccinated. But how will they handle the people who say they lost theirs?

If it’s Moderna they can just scan the chip like your dog at the vet.
The problem with mine is that it sets off the theft alarm at the Walmart exit.
Luckily I can outrun the fat old mask sheriff.

Nuremberg code.

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
