Vaccine Mandates Are Their Dumbest Move Yet, But They Keep Doubling-Down
Townhall.com ^ | 27 September A.D. 2021 | Scott Morefield

Posted on 09/26/2021 9:10:44 PM PDT by lightman

Nothing about our overlords’ response to the Covid-19 pandemic has made any sense, so why should we expect any more in their approach to vaccines? Ever true to form, they have bungled and stumbled their way into not just failing to end the pandemic, but creating historic mistrust of the medical establishment in an ever-growing segment of the population. These geniuses have also succeeded in turning what was once a tiny faction of anti-vaxxers into what could very well be becoming a burgeoning political movement. Nice job, pinheads.

How did something that most of the world thought would be a shining bright spot in a sea of darkness over the past year and a half turn into - like masking - yet another highly charged political issue? It wasn’t supposed to be this way, obviously, and it wouldn’t have been this way had the vaccines worked as advertised to us in the Spring, when people were lining up to get the jab and Covid rates were so low the CDC was even forced to temporarily do away with masking recommendations (but only for the vaccinated, wink wink). Sure, there were rumblings from former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson about disturbing data from Israel, but the rest of us were all but certain the worst was behind us and normal life was just around the corner.

Then, the freight train hit. Turns out, Berenson was right, yet again, as he has been virtually the entirety of this pandemic. (These days Twitter doesn’t censor and ban people for being WRONG, but rather for being TOO RIGHT about the WRONG THING.) The vaccines were leaky as a sieve, and reinfections and transmissions among the vaccinated were increasing at an alarming rate. Almost overnight, the messaging went from vaccines preventing contraction and transmission to keeping people out of the hospital and the morgue. And even then, only for a few months until you get your booster.

Remember those long car lines and your Branch Covidian Facebook friends posting about how they couldn’t wait until their age group was called, then later posting disturbing pictures of their ‘Fauci ouchie’ band-aids right beside their even more disturbing Dr. Fauci bobblehead dolls? In a period of weeks, we saw a medical intervention go from being in peak demand to President Puddinhead’s patience with a third of the population “wearing thin.” The carrot hasn’t worked, so now they’re moving to the stick.

But why? Why does the entire population need to be jabbed with a shot that only protects them, especially one with such a high side effect profile? It might be one thing if the vaccines actually did prevent contraction and especially transmission of a virus deadly enough to warrant such measures. If these were sterile vaccines and the disease were more dangerous than the relatively mild (for the vast majority) Covid-19, there *could* be a case for mandates. We could debate it and I might disagree, but there would at least be a case. For example, it would have been difficult to argue against a vaccine mandate for smallpox, which killed 30% of those who contracted it and was stopped dead in its tracks by the vax.

But this virus isn’t smallpox, and these vaccines aren’t the vaccines that eradicated that disease. Not. Even. Close. These are, at best, therapeutics that prevent severe illness and death for a few months. At best. At worst, they are causing antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and actually making the pandemic worse over the long haul (If you’re unfamiliar with ADE, listen to The Blaze host Steve Deace’s interview with Dr. Ryan Cole on 9/21/21. It’s pretty scary stuff and I hope it ends up being wrong, but it’s certainly a theory that fits the data so far and is worth listening to.)

To add insult to injury, and a bit more injury just for fun, why do those who have already contracted the virus (the naturally immune) need a vaccine for something their bodies have already fought, especially when it’s been proven that side effects are WORSE for them? Why do young boys have to take it when it’s been proven that their risk of hospitalization or death from vaccine-induced myocarditis is GREATER than their risk from Covid? Why are the vaccines they are shoving down everyone’s throat, including the boosters, geared toward the original virus instead of Delta? It’s all absolutely insane, yet these discredited clowns stubbornly continue down the same path like no better one is available.

Unless the courts strike it down, soon every worker who works for a firm with more than 100 employees will have to be vaccinated or undergo a weekly Covid test. Already, major events and conferences are requiring this (including one I’ll be at next week). Healthcare workers who have put themselves at risk the entirety of the pandemic - many if not most of whom are naturally immune - are literally being fired in the MIDDLE OF A LABOR CRISIS for refusing to take the jab (in New York's case, forcing 'authorities' to consider calling in the National Guard to ensure some level of patient care).

But again, it’s all nonsense. Their actions and policies pretend that the vaccines are sterile and those who are vaccinated can’t spread it, when anyone who can read the news knows none of that is true. If anything, it is the vaccinated who should produce clear Covid tests, since masked symptoms mean they are much more likely to spread the virus asymptomatically. Consider this comment from user “FloridaHSMom” on my previous column about governments’ futile effort to fight the virus:

I have a friend whose grandmother was vaccinated. She got the virus but had no symptoms. Family went to visit her in their home state of Tennessee. Her sons were with her for a special day visit, because they were from out of town. Then they all went back home to their various states. They then gave it to their kids and grandkids. All in all, grandma infected 45 people or more. One vaccinated person infected 45 people.

How many more scenarios like this have played out all over the world over the past several months? If you think this is an isolated incident, I’ve got some plane tickets to Australia to sell you.

Vaccine mandates and coercion need to end. They are unscientific on every level and don’t take into account individual health profiles and risks, nor our God-given bodily autonomy. As much as our overlords would like to treat us as such, humans aren’t robots, and we certainly aren’t mindless, obedient sheep. However, to these morons and the ginormous hammer we as a society have gifted them with, EVERYTHING looks like a nail.

This may cost me a few fair weather FRiends but, O well:

I CHOSE to get vaccinated....my CHOICE.

If the vaccination is even half of what it is claimed to be I really don't give a rat's rump whether anyone else is vaccinated or unvaccinated, masked or unmasked, coughing or calm, close or distant!

I am pro VOLUNTARY vax. I am barely tolerant VOLUNTARY mask. I am anti MANDATORY vax. I am vehemently anti MANDATORY mask.

I have ZERO need to "feel safe" on the basis that everyone in a venue, a health care facility, or any other place has dutifully shown their papers.

America will remain "the land of the free" ONLY if we demonstrate that we are "the home of the brave"!

Sep.24.2021

This afternoon, the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force issued its Guidance regarding COVID-19 Workplace Safety: Guidance for Federal Contractors and Subcontractors (at all tiers), pursuant to President Biden’s September 9, 2020 Executive Order. The 14-page Guidance addresses the following topics:

Vaccination requirement. The Guidance mandates vaccinations, with exceptions only for those employees legally entitled to accommodations. It does not offer a testing alternative. Covered contractor employees must be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021.
Other COVID safety requirements. The Guidance also provides masking requirements for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in certain circumstances and requires contractors to designate a person or persons to coordinate COVID-19 safety efforts at covered contractor workplaces.
Proof of Vaccination. Covered contractors must ensure employees are vaccinated by checking authorized vaccination records. Attestations of vaccination are not acceptable substitutes.
Covered contracts. The Guidance confirms that all contracts and contract-like instruments for services (including contracts subject to the Service Contract Act and concession contracts exempted from the Service Contract Act), construction (including contracts covered by the Davis Bacon Act), leasehold interest in real property, and contracts in connection with Federal property or land and related to offering services for Federal employees, their dependents, or the general public are covered. In addition to Executive Order 14042’s exclusion of subcontracts for products, the Guidance appears to also exempt contracts for products. The requirements must be flowed down to all lower-tier subcontractors, to the point at which subcontract requirements are solely for the provision of products.
Workplace location. The Guidance defines “workplace location” as a location where covered contract employees work, including both the contractor’s workplace (including outdoor workplaces) and the Federal workplace. The Guidance further makes clear that the mandate applies to all workers at a covered workplace, regardless of whether those employees work on or in connection with the contract, unless the contractor can affirmatively determine that no covered contractor employees will come in any contact with non-covered employees anywhere on the premises, including in restrooms, meeting rooms, stairways, parking garages, etc.
Remote workers. As to remote workers, the Guidance provides that even individuals working on a covered contract from their residence must comply with the vaccination requirements. However, private residences are not covered contractor workplaces, so individuals need not comply with other requirements, such as masking and physical distancing.
Work “on or in connection with.” The Guidance clarifies that work “on or in connection with” encompasses all duties necessary to the performance of the covered contract. This includes work by employees who are not directly engaged in performing the specific work called for by the covered contract, such as human resources, billing, and legal review, perform work in connection with a Federal Government contract.
Non-covered contracts. The Guidance also strongly encourages federal agencies to apply the vaccine mandate to non-covered contracts. It is therefore possible that contractors that do not have covered contracts will likely see contract clauses imposing similar vaccine mandates.
Our team will cover all of these issues in detail in our webinar on Monday September 27 at 1:30 EDT.

How does “guidance” carry the force of law in the absence of a legislative branch observing due diligence and following due process?

What are the consequences for properly extending a middle finger salute?

These vaccines are absolutely poison for many.

I hope that it works out for you. Statistically, it likely shall, but in reality they are crap, and not at all genuine vaccines as they have never isolated the Virus and therefore a real vaccine is impossible without that important aspect of the process, Genius.

I call myself vaccine tolerant which is to say I tolerate the vaxxed and the unvaxxed.

Last time I checked we are all God’s Children.

I have seen people on both sides including some Republicans say nasty things about the unvaccinated claiming they are spreading the virus.

Other Republicans like Governor Brad Little in Idaho push the narrative of the “strained health care system” to scare people into vaccination.

When do the media and politicians stop their “vaccine coercion”. I’m taking names and the *ss kicking in the figurative sense is coming later on.

These foreign leaders like the state premiers and police forces of Australia should get sanctioned like Chinese or Russian or Iranian people and organizations have been sanctioned.

Travel bans, bank accounts etc. etc.

Imagine if you took your car to the dealership for major maintenance and there were no mechanics in the shop. The suits from the boardroom, ties and all, descended on your vehicle to “make the repairs”.

How would that work out? Simple answer..... it would not.

This is what our nation has done in response to Covid. We have the bureaucrat class, politicians, and the boards of big pharma running our Covid response yet few of them could read an X-ray or intubate a patient. They are so drunk with power they have told doctors and hospitals what they can and cannot use to save you or your loved one.

To make matters worse, our media have cheered the whole way.

Here we are....

There are warnings all over .. do not get the vax.

I can’t put all the reasons .. but will do one..
There are trials for any new drug.. they test on animals before they consider human trial.
These vax have not been tested on animals first.
YOU are the animal.

People keep saying dumb but it’s actually insidious and well planned out. Democrats may appear to be dumb but everything those communists do is carefully designed for the results they get. I saw a video about Trump knowing the moment he thought Milley was stupid, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. With all due respect to POTUS Trump the left wanted to leave weapons and people behind. Look around you and you see sheeple everywhere. They are obviously submissive from their masks and ‘vax’ status, just as the left likes them. Remember, these are NOT real vaccines. They were labeled “investigative vaccines” in the FDA approval request forms. They also said they last “7 days”!

“...pursuant to President Biden’s September 9, 2020 Executive Order.”

Biden was NOT in office then. January 20, 2021 at noon was the time of his usurpation.

That AND it takes on average about 10 years to produce and properly test a vaccine. These took 9 months (partly for the reason you gave). These. Are. Not. Real. Vaccines.

I never had to wear a mask after the polio vaccine. I never needed a booster for the polio vaccine.
I never had to wear a mask after the smallpox vaccine. I never needed a booster for the smallpox vaccine.
These are not vaccines at best they are therapeutic

a new low-point: left vs right - whose mandate is tougher in the Land of Oz? what one death in Vic yesterday can do:

27 Sept: Daily Mail Australia: Dan Andrews takes a shot at Gladys for giving freedoms to the unvaccinated by December – and says he has no plans to go down the same path
Daniel Andrews revealed he has no plans to reopen state to the unvaccinated
Comment came after NSW premier revealed roadmap for her state on Monday
Gladys Berejiklian intends to ease restrictions for all residents on December 1
By AIDAN WONDRACZ
Mr Andrews said he would not feel comfortable reopening the state to everyone even if 90 per cent of residents were double jabbed.
‘The overall percentage of the community that don’t have the protection of one or two doses even at 90 per cent is a significant number,’ he said.

The premier admitted vaccinating 100 per cent of residents was an unrealistic goal...

Mr Andrews said he was hopeful state borders would be able to reopen by summer when vaccination rates were higher.
‘I hope our borders open by then. I’m sure Gladys hopes her borders will be open by then,’ he said.

‘I think to an extent, our international ***ORDERS (AN APT TYPO) will be open by then. We want as much freedom of movement as possible, we want people to be able to go about their business...

Leaked planning documents from the Department of Education obtained by the Herald Sun have revealed the tough rules school children may expect next month.

All Victorian students aged over 12 could be required to have one dose of a vaccine ‘to attend school by 2022’ while those in Year 11 and 12 will need two...

Mr Andrews said the state was looking at shortening the interval between first and second doses of Pfizer vaccines at vaccination hubs, which is currently set at six weeks...

Victoria recorded 705 new locally acquired cases on Monday and ***ONE DEATH, a man in his 70s from the local government area of Darebin...
