I read Miguel’s post on restricting interstate travel and I’ve seen more news about the idea of a COVID passport for interstate travel.
I will now turn this over to the fantastic Sam Neill playing a Soviet submarine XO in one of the best movies ever made, The Hunt for the Red October:
That’s how America was. A place envied by Soviet citizens because we could travel state to state without papers.
Now the Biden Administration is proposing to turn us into the Soviet Union.
When you let politicians violate the law because of a crisis, politicians will create a crisis in order to violate the law.
Truer words were never spoken.
And the trick, according to one politician, is to never let a crisis go to waste.
Remember how the captain could get no recompence for his wife’s death by malpractice? That’s why he stole the sub in the first place. That’s where we are with these “vaccines”.
I’m not sure who gave you the thumbs-down vote, because you’re correct.
The family of anyone who dies directly or indirectly from this vaccine has zero recompense; the companies making them are immune from liability.
I don’t consider myself an anti-vaxxer; I believe in informed consent and medical freedom. That means:
– If you want a vaccine, get a vaccine, but understand that no medical procedure or injection is 100% safe, and almost everything has side effects both known and unknown.
– If you don’t, then don’t, but understand that many vaccines are helpful and you’re on your own if you get sick from a vaccine-preventable disease.
Believing in medical freedom and informed consent means you do that risk-benefit analysis for yourself and your family and decide what’s right for you, and I do it for me and mine. It’s really not that different from 2nd Amendment advocacy!
But these new vaccines are untested long term. We’re seeing what the short-term side effects look like (which nobody really knew until it was rolled out, which is concerning enough on its own), but we have no idea what the long term effects will be. To that end, for example, apparently some male medical professionals were advised to freeze their sperm before getting the shot. That could be an over-abundance of caution, or there could be concern the vaccine could interfere with reproductive health and the ability to procreate. Nobody knows. That’s half the problem.
The other half of the problem: No matter what the long-term effects are, Big Pharma is not liable. The families of the victims — or the victims themselves if there are serious-but-not-life-threatening side effects (like reproductive harm) — are on their own.
Look up “VAERS”. There is a system in place (at least, for other vaccines) wherein there is an avenue to present a claim of damage attributed to a vaccine, and have that claim evaluated. Indeed, there is funding for (some) recompense.
But, to agree with your overarching point, the manufacturers, and personnel administering the vaccine covered by the VAERS system, are not liable.
I’m (partly) wrong. The compensation program is a different program. (From the VAERS website:)
“The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a separate program from VAERS and is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Reporting an adverse event to VAERS does not constitute filing a claim with the VICP. For more information about the VICP, call (800) 338-2382 or visit the VICP Web site.”
One of my favorite movies. Sam’s XO is great.
