Here is my shortest version of my anti-COVID vaccine position. I believe the third of U.S. population which does not want the shots has a variety of reasons. My main reason is fear of unknown effects not only in the next couple months, but what could happen in 10, 20, years as a much older woman with RNA pieces hanging around in my lymph nodes. The FDA cannot know for sure it is safe for the entire future.
I am worried about the fear effect this will have on the Country. Mandated vaccines from many employers (U.S. Military, colleges, schools and health-care institutions) will produce distrust and some employees will leave their jobs. The supply chain problems will get worse. Fearful individuals resort to increased violence. Civil unrest may resemble what happened May 2020 after the George Floyd killing.
It is a mandate if the only other choice is COVID testing. Part of the problem has been that we anti-COVID vax folk believe those PCR and other tests are invalid. It doesn’t make logical sense to have a diagnosis based on RNA pieces found in a small specimen. Instead of increasing the fear and pressure with more COVID testing and what to do when individuals test positive. Quarantine and who pays? All this to force vaccination? Please give a real choice to allow out of vaccination: Just wear your mask on the job! For some reason the government doesn’t want to do it. Probably because there already is a mandate or strong recommendation to wear a mask whether vaccinated or not. Don’t the vaccines work? I would not mind at all wearing a mask to show that I have resisted Big Health, Big Pharma, Big Computer economy, in their mandate to get their vaccine.
I am so fearful of what will happen with forced vaccinations of private citizens: Future shots every six months, databases of our medical history and possibly our DNA, digital economy, and the next generation not able to read and write and only give voice commands to their phones or computers.
Without schools open and enough employees, life as we know it will end. I would rather die than live in a society which I fear. In fact, given a choice between a vaccine shot and a lethal injection, today or next week or in the near future I would choose the lethal injection.
I am not alone in fear of the COVID shots. On the television news Wednesday I heard through CNBC that Russia is mandating vaccine and 55% of its population opposes the program. China has social scores to economic opportunity. We still are a free country, but this freedom could be taken away pretty quickly if we allow complete computerization, shutdown of the U.S. Post Office, and extended school closures.
I already have written here: Give me liberty, or give me death. Until I saw in The Voice the anti-vax pieces by Charles Coddington and Bill Suhayda, I would have been too afraid to write this commentary. Fear allows normal individuals to be controlled, don’t you know?
