Killing Liberty: Could Vaccine Resisters Be WACOed?
Townhall.com ^ | April 9, 2021 | Ilana Mercer

Because of the natural mutation the clever little RNA strand undergoes—it is clear to anyone with a critical mind that the Covid vaccines will go the way of the flu vaccines: An annual affair if one chooses to make it so.

Choice, alas, is quickly becoming a quaint concept in Covid-compliant America. 

Vaccine Passports

The possibility of a vaccine passport, a “certification of vaccination that reduces public-health restrictions for their carriers,” has been floated. Unfinessed, it amounts to, “Your Papers, bitte!”

While Fox’s Tucker Carlson did term the idea an Orwellian one—it took civil libertarian Glenn Greenwald, the odd-man-out among the authoritarian Left, to place the concept of a vaccine passport in proper perspective.

The popular TV host (and perhaps the only good thing on Fox News) had asked Greenwald if he felt a vaccine passport “would work to convince more Americans to get vaccinated.

Judging a policy by its positive outcomes for the collective, rather than by whether it violates individual rights is utilitarianism. It is the rule among politicians and pundits.

“It doesn’t work”: How often have you heard those words used to describe grave rights violations? As if using coercion to decrease “vaccine hesitancy”—is ever a good reason for coercing vaccination! As if employing coercion to decrease "vaccine hesitancy" is ever an appropriate use of State or corporate power

The Benthamite utilitarian calculus is thus rightly associated with a collectivist, central-planner’s impetus. 

The Founding Fathers, conversely, held a Blackstonian view of the law as a bulwark against government abuses. Their take has since been supplanted by the notion of the law as an implement of government, to be utilized by all-knowing rulers for the “greater good.”

To his great credit, Sean Hannity did advance a rights-based argument against the vaccine-passport outrage: the individual right to privacy. 

It fell, however, to Mr. Greenwald to take note of the three different ways in which the passports constitute a draconian invasion:

…coercing citizens to put a substance into their body that they don’t want in their body, a pretty grave invasion of bodily autonomy, a fundamental right … gathering a new database that can track people’s [health] … can easily be expanded as government programs do …
…restricting people’s movement. Freedom of movement is one of the most fundamental rights … guaranteed in the Constitution.  …

Enter U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican with a highly-contrived Southern act and overwrought cracks. 

The visibly disappointed Mr. Hannity was expecting an erudite, rights-based objection from the senator representing Louisiana. On the matter of vaccine compliance through coercion, Kennedy only dimmed the debate. To the question about vaccine passports, Kennedy answered with a non sequitur:

A vaccine passport would be “terribly unethical,” Kennedy croaked, and not because it would threaten an individual’s dominion over his body, but because, “Everybody does not yet have access to the vaccine.”

After all, “The creation of a vaccine involves scientists and medical experts from around the world, and it usually requires 10 to 15 years of research before the vaccine is made available to the general public. [HERE]

However, there aren’t any longitudinal studies! How could there be? Covid vaccines are just too new. More ominously, they were rushed to market under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), not following FDA approval. To compound the unease, the EUA appears to harp a lot on providing “liability immunity” to Covid-vaccine manufacturers.

Reasonable people are all for well-tested vaccines—all the more so when liability is attached to the manufacturers, which is not the case in COVID.

Vaccine Likely To Last Until … Next Mutation

If you doubt my opinion that jabs will become an annual affair, consider the expert opinion of 77 scientists from 28 countries:

The planet could have a year or less before first-generation Covid-19 vaccines are ineffective and modified formulations are needed, according to a survey of epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease specialists. …

…The grim forecast of a year or less comes from two-thirds of respondents, according to the People’s Vaccine Alliance, a coalition of organizations including Amnesty International, Oxfam, and UNAIDS, who carried out the survey … Nearly one-third of the respondents indicated that the time-frame was likely nine months or less.

We vaccinate every year for the flu due to mutations. Why expect SARS-CoV-2 to be any less efficient?

As surmised in this space, the Covid vaccines will likely last as long as the virus’s next mutation. But will these remain optional?

In anticipation, Israel’s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has floated the freaky idea of a six-monthly vaccine schedule. In Israel, a vaccine “Green Passport” is already a reality.

As is compliance-through-coercion at work in Canada, where, upon arrival in the country, you are corralled into confinement in government-designated “hotels,” at an exorbitant shakedown fee. The policy was instituted by the despicable and deeply stupid Justin Trudeau, a leftie.

What is the plan stateside? Without any qualms, American authorities have boarded up small businesses, and bankrupted, even arrested, their “scofflaw” owners for the crime of working. Do they plan to force the goop into the resister’s veins?

Do vaccine resisters risk being WACOed?

If Czarina Kamala wants you to have the vax, you’ll get the vax. If Czarina Kamala wants you to drive a battery car, you’ll drive a battery car. If Czarina wants your job to be unionized, you’ll join the union.

Much policy has been made on the fly without reliable scientific data. Very difficult to understand the rationale behind many CDC decisions. Where is the data that someone who has been documented to have had COVID and recovered will benefit from a vaccination if given as a preventive? Yet the CDC proposes such vaccinations?Also mask data is extremely sketchy and most “studies” are not reproducible and their conclusions painfully comply with the prevailing narratives.Lysenko lives.

They don’t need to be WACO’d, when it’s much easier to just “unperson” them.

Now that Senile Joe has nominated a child burner for BATFE, we are all at risk of being WACO’d.

There is something about the ChiCom bioterrorist attack on the world that our government is not telling us.

The draconian language and actions associated with the government response is totally different than with the annual flu, which also results in the deaths of thousands of Americans. Also the U.S. military has essentially puckered its collective keister in their response.

Me and the Mrs will not be getting this experimental vaccine. Our kids will not either.
No amount of SJW claptrap; no amount of pressure from our work places; no amount of “friendly advisors” will convince us.
If and when we decide to get it, it will be on our terms by our choice.
Until then, government piss off!

I’ve been saying here for awhile that another Waco is coming.

The Stasi FIB DOJ ATF etc are chomping at the bit to wipe out a bunch of deplorables. Just for fun, and to “Teach those MAGA Hats a lesson!” They know durn well they’ll be widely praised for it, parades will be held, medals given.
Live TV, burning MAGA Hats, crushing them with tanks. Incinerating their kids.

The msm will respond with glee. “They had it coming to them! Maybe now they’ll give up their violent conspiracy theories about stolen elections. Round up the survivors, throw the book at them and their families!”

It’s coming. I can smell it.
