(1) Like others, I predicted this months ago.

First it will be voluntary services like concerts that require a vax or negative test, then it will be governments, for lifesaving things. It couldn't be more crucial for Republicans to keep the White House & Senate. Here's why.

(2) Requiring a vax or -ve test will do absolutely nothing to ensure a person doesn't bring covid into a building or space.

Not only is it possible to carry the virus before that will show up in a test, the only failsafe way to keep it out is effective quarantine for >14 days.

(3) If a negative test were reliable then no one would need to require 14 day quarantine, such as that the NZ govt requires of arriving airline passengers.

Now, the big problem with mandatory testing is what it can lead to, such as arbitrary detention in high risk settings.

(4) Everything shd be done to encourage certain groups to get tested at the appropriate time for them. When folk know they cd be detained and lose control of their own self-management of their health (eg at home) they won't get tested.

Similarly, mandatory vaxing never works.

(5) No sensible public health advisor supports mandatory vaccination. Requiring it before allowing a child to enter a kindergarten is different. The parents can opt out.

As soon as government starts requiring it, some folk will go completely off the grid.

(6) Once they do that, government has lost control of the situation. Some say "let them die" but you must remember, children are usually involved in this, and the state has a duty to protect them.

The only practical way to do that is keep vaccines voluntary.

(7) The USA is the only country in the world that takes individual civil rights seriously, by enforcing them.

Most foreigners don't understand this, and have been taught to hate the USA for it.

So, disregard their opinions. Listen instead to _informed_ commentators, like me.

(8) Most foreigners don't realize it yet, but the USA does the world a great service just by existing.

It is the shining city on a hill, the last stand for freedom.

"Exporting freedom" is indeed a thing. And it doesn't involve wars.

(9) You export freedom by persuasion and leading by example. You change the hearts and minds of those willing to listen.

And thus, you improve the USA's position in trade and other international processes of benefit to the USA.

(10) Reagan was right about so many things, but especially foreign policy.

He worked for 8 years to win the Cold War, and his successor got to have the Berlin Wall fall the year he left office. That's OK, he doesn't "need" the credit.

(10) Reagan understood American freedom, deep down. He had seen the Communists in Hollywood in the 40s & 50s, as the head of the largest actor's trade union. It's what made him #WalkAway from the Democrats, like millions of us have since.

(11) Mandatory testing (with a woefully unreliable test) or mandatory vaccination will NEVER be allowed under a Republican administration.

This is a hill to die on, just like properly auditing the recent election is.

(12) I'm going to start a new thread, linked below, with Reagan quotes, because I think that will be helpful at this time.

Stay alert to things like mandatory testing, whether by a private or public entity.

Do your own household #prepping, urgently.

(13) Here's my Reagan quotes thread.

Keep the faith. Hold the line. Own the Libs.
