There is already serious talk about requiring proof of vaccination before you can travel by plane or ship, leave the country, or even go into government buildings, stadiums, etc.
They're still safety testing this stuff!
If you feel that the risk of COVID is worse than the risk of this vaccine, then you should take it. I respect that.
But if you, like me and 60% of doctors & nurses, don't want to take it without more safety and effectiveness data, your ability to live should not be restricted.
Also, this guy's a Republican, in case you thought safety theater, mass extortion and coerced profiteering for Big Pharma was just a Dem thing.
Last day of the Donald Trump presidency. Let's see where we're at on those 2016 campaign promises!
1. "I will build a great wall, and Mexico will pay for it!"
Only 80 miles of new wall was built where there was none before. Mexico didn't pay for it... you did.
2. "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again."
...
3. "I'll eliminate 'Department of Environment Protection' (EPA)"
He did cut the budget, but the EPA is still alive and well. In fact, he felt the EPA was necessary enough to look into his claim of “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once."
No, really.
Did you know that a jury voted unanimously in 1999 that he was killed by the government, Memphis police, and the mob?
Probably not. Here's the story:
In 1993, a man named Loyd Jowers claimed on national TV that he was paid $100k by Memphis mobster Frank Liberto to help with the assassination of MLK. He also claimed that Memphis Police Officer Earl Clark was who actually shot him, not James Earl Ray, who was just a scapegoat.
Loyd claimed that, after 25 years, he could no longer keep the secret, and wanted Dr. King's family to know the truth, and for James Earl Ray's name to be cleared.
The reason for the protests and riots that are happening right now, is for reasons that are way more similar to why the BLM protests and riots happened than either side is willing to admit.
At the core of these riots, at the core of why they voted for Trump in the first place, is frustration and fear over what they see around them: lost jobs, low wages, the cost of living skyrocketing out of control.
Simply put: people who are happy and comfortable don't riot.
The problem is that they're misplacing their anger and rage. This isn't about left vs. right, Republican vs. Democrat, White vs. Black.
It's about the people vs. a relative handful of incredibly powerful politicians and cronies (including Trump and Biden) who rob us every day.
You may have heard of Bill A416, a proposed law in New York that would grant the Governor the ability to imprison or deport anyone he deems to be a "public health threat".
But it's actually way worse than that.
Not only does A416 give Cuomo the ability to detain and remove people without trial, appeal or oversight, it would also grant that power to anyone he wishes. "Including, but not limited to" means pretty much whoever he wants.
This bill turns the Governor into an overlord who can appoint anyone he wishes to remove whomever they wish, as long as they decide that person is a "threat".
Given the government's track record on civil liberties, just picture how that could be used in the future.
An incredibly troubling part of mainstream American political discourse is the assumption that the US military can kill anyone, anywhere, even civilians ("casualties/broken eggs for the omelette"), and it is simply unacceptable for anyone to fight back to try to not be killed.
While the people who believe this probably also think that they are "supporting the troops", in reality they're dooming them to be sent off to perpetual war.
If the military industrial complex can kill whenever they want, they will, and it's the troops they send off to do it.
Example of this sentiment:
"I don't support our involvement in this war, but we should be aggressive against anyone who fights our troops there."
If our troops shouldn't be there, why should the people who live there simply allow themselves to be killed and not fight back?
