Keeping You Informed

Quote: California, a COVID police state is coming at you; the legislature is tuning it up now; will you lie down and take it? It’ll be the California of East Germany if the people don’t act now: I’m talking about large visible protests on all levels. Including in the streets.  The LA Times has the story: “…state lawmakers are now considering one of the most politically challenging government mandates yet: requiring Californians to show proof of vaccination to enter many indoor business establishments and forcing workers to get vaccinated or regularly tested.” “[State Senator Richard Pan said] there is enough uncertainty about what will happen in the coming months to potentially reach a consensus to act now. Lawmakers wrap up their session on Sept. 10. [Governor] Newsom faces a recall election on Sept. 14.” “The Times obtained a draft of [Assembly Bill] AB 455, which was dated Thursday. That version calls for anyone entering a bar, restaurant, gym, hotel, event center or sports arena to show proof that he or she is fully vaccinated.” “It also calls for all employees, job applicants and independent contractors to show proof that they are fully vaccinated or take a weekly COVID-19 test with proof of a negative result.” READ THAT SENTENCE AGAIN. “Those who are too young to be vaccinated or a person with a valid medical reason would be exempt from the provisions, according to the draft language. The California Department of Public Health would be tasked with determining by Nov. 1 how to enforce the requirements.” “The draft bill is listed as an urgency measure, which would allow it to take effect immediately if passed by two-thirds of lawmakers and signed by the governor.”[...]  This IS the Medical Police State. The enemies of freedom, sanity, and humanity have been planning vaccine mandates for A LONG TIME. They were waiting for full FDA approval of the shot, which took place on August 23rd. We’re under jackboot tyranny."    California, a COVID police state is coming at you; the legislature is tuning it up now; will you lie down and take it? « Jon Rappoport's Blog (nomorefakenews.com)     

Quote: "Who’s Skipping the Vaccine? The Answer May Surprise You. Big media has been in overdrive pushing COVID vaccinations, at least after Joe Biden was ensconced in the White House. Remember that when Donald Trump was still president, the vaccines were suspect, simply because Trump played a major role in their development and rollout. Before the election, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were vaccine-hesitant.  Both cast doubt on the COVID vaccines, still in clinical trials last fall. Biden said, “I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don’t trust Donald Trump.” Did he believe Trump was cooking up the vaccines in the White House basement, the sole decision maker regarding approval, ignoring the pharmaceutical companies creating the vaccines, overseen, and ultimately approved by the FDA, not the president? Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, cast similar doubt saying, "I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he's talking about. I will not take his word for it.” Again, it is the FDA, not the White House that is charged with approving vaccines. Trump can say what he wants but if the regulatory authorities say otherwise, that’s as far as it goes toward approval or usage. Look at hydroxychloroquine as an example. In a hyper-politicized country, Americans tend to believe those with whom they identify politically. Hence those on the right supporting hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic and those on the left, like Fox News’ Neil Cavuto, saying “it will kill you.” If the future president and vice president were vaccine-hesitant, expect many Americans to adopt that view. [...]  Who isn’t yet vaccinated in America and why? There is vaccine hesitancy, which according to Wikipedia “is a delay in acceptance, or refusal of vaccines despite the availability of vaccine services.” It’s not simple and straightforward, either. “Vaccine hesitancy is complex and context specific, varying across time, place and vaccines. It is influenced by factors such as complacency, convenience, a fear of needles, or a lack of understanding about how vaccines work.” [...]  As reported in Summit News, “A new report by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh has found that the most highly educated Americans are also the most vaccine hesitant.” This was not a survey of a few hundred, but of 5 million Americans. They found a U-shaped curve with the greatest hesitancy among the least and most educated. “The most common concern for those who are hesitant to take the vaccine is potential side effects, with a lack of trust in government close behind in second." So much for the media narrative that only the missing-teeth, knuckle-dragging, Neanderthal Trump supporters are against vaccination.

      Political party affiliation does not account for this as those with doctoral degrees tend to vote Democrat. Pew Research found, “highly educated adults also increasingly have liberal attitudes and values.” Why not with vaccines?

A decision to be vaccinated involves looking at evidence, scientific studies and their validity, weighing risk and benefits, then arriving at a decision. This is the scientific method, something that most people with advanced degrees are quite familiar with. Are they seeing red flags in their analysis that the less-scrutinizing, including the media, are missing? Maybe they are thoughtfully, rather than blindly, following and questioning the science. For the uneducated, they may be more susceptible to conspiracy theories. Or perhaps they just mistrust the government and heavy-handed vaccine mandates which burden lower socio-economic groups far more than the Uber Eats and Whole Foods crowds that seem to do just fine under even the most draconian lockdowns and mandates. Public trust in government is quite low, at 24 percent, according to Pew Research. If the government says take the vaccine, three of four may question that. Is that vaccine-hesitancy or government hesitancy?"  There is more so read on.    Who’s Skipping the Vaccine?

Quote: " Following the announcement that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved the Pfizer COVID vaccine, Dr. Anthony Fauci immediately hopped onto his news outlet of choice – CNN – to tell the country that it’s time for vaccine mandates to be implemented nationally. Speaking to controversial “news” anchor Anderson Cooper, Fauci complained that there is a solid 30% of the American public who are “not anti-vax” but who were waiting until they felt that there was a “real stamp of approval” on the vaccine. He then claimed that the official approval of the vaccine by the FDA should deliver that stamp of approval. Which is…half true. Technically the vaccine has been approved, but that doesn’t mean people will be rushing out to take it. Given just how dishonest Fauci and other high profile public health officials have been throughout this pandemic, it hardly seems likely that skeptical people will immediately trust those same public health officials who have overseen this eventual FDA approval. Fauci also effectively blackmailed those remaining Americans who don’t want the vaccine, saying that they will “give a lot of incentive and backing” for many organizations, institutions, and places of employment to implement new vaccine mandates. He said that some of the biggest corporations in the country will be coming forward with mandates and that they will become normal. He then had the audacity to claim that he does “respect people’s freedom” – which he doesn’t. Unless, of course, he means their freedom to not take the vaccine and be unable to work for the rest of their lives.
