Tyrannical. Dictatorial. Medical fascism. Unconscionably unconstitutional…
These are some of the devil terms we have heard ascribed to Mr. Biden's vaccine mandate, yesterday announced.
We have heard other colorful descriptions… unsuitable for publication in our pristine, snow-driven pages.
The president wagged his finger at the millions of unvaccinated Americans yesterday - and read them a severe lesson.
Here is our own James Howard Kunstler, in searing, scathing, sarcastic summary, giving the president a terrible razzing:
Ol' White Joe was back on TV yesterday issuing threats to his countrypersons. We are in thrall to a pandemic disease, you understand, this organism called COVID-19 and some 80 million of us have not availed ourselves of the magical vaccine required to prevent the transmission of said organism. We must take the vaccine in order to protect the people who already got the vax - many of them more than one shot - from catching COVID-19.
Hold on now... you say they got multiple doses of the vax but they can still catch the disease? Yes, they can, evidently. OK... well... what kind of vax is it that doesn't keep you from catching the disease? Oh, a most excellent vax! And you must take it, or lose your income, forfeit your useful position in this economy, give up all the normal routines of existing in a free society.
Then... this is no longer a free society? Oh, but it is... as long as you take as many vaxes as we can force you to take... and by the way, don't badmouth the vaxes. We will find out and we will deal with you. We'll come for you. We'll take away your access to banking. We'll sic federal agencies on your case. You will become a non-person, perhaps an unperson! There, that'll fix you!
Yesterday evening an interview with a hospital nurse drifted in over the transom. In it she blew a deafening whistle.
She insisted upon anonymity for fear of retaliatory fire.
Her accented voice gave the heavy impression of a Southern rearing, leading us to conclude she nurses in a state with a high reporting of cases - Texas perhaps, where anti-vaccine primitives are said to proliferate in abominable numbers.
This nurse insisted her hospital has not been overstretched by virus sufferers.
She claims the greatest increase of cases she has witnessed are - in fact - vaccine casualties:
"Blood clots, cardiac issues, neurological issues, balance issues, cognitive issues, aggressive behavior, encephalopathy."
We understand these are commonly documented vaccine aftereffects.
Yet when this nurse challenges the physicians with clinical evidence, they pull a zipper across her lips:
I have not had one doctor acknowledge anything I've said... it's completely dismissed. They will not acknowledge it, they will stop you mid-sentence... It's an unwritten rule, you can't talk about it. But it's common knowledge among the staff.
Moreover, incoming patients are subjected to a notoriously faulty "PCR" test. It often gives a false positive reading.
Those unfortunates who test positive are corralled in with known COVID sufferers - even if they manifest no symptoms whatsoever - where they are subjected to actual infection.
They are often dosed with remdesivir, a supposed therapeutic. It is one of very few medicines the Food and Drug Administration has authorized to battle the virus - even though it has proved a poor combatant.
This nurse affirms the drug yields few positive results. It does... however... yield profound disorders of the heart and kidneys, which she has witnessed.
It nonetheless prices at $520 the dose (a generic variant may go for less).
"This has been the standard medication since the beginning," she claims, frustratingly.
Clinical studies - meantime - indicate the drug ivermectin packs far greater antiviral wallop. Yet it lacks the official imprimatur of the Food and Drug Administration.
We mention, only in passing, that one dose of generic ivermectin goes for as little as $4.50.
This whistletooting nurse concludes:
None of us is going to take these [vaccines] because we've seen what they've done to patients… I would go through [the initial phases] of COVID 10 times over, easily, compared with what I've seen with this vaccine rollout. The injuries and the loss of life, the loss of function... this is horrific. This vaccine rollout is a nightmare, and the media are completely not telling any truth about what is actually going on with these vaccines.
Is the evidence here presented of the anecdotal type? It is, yes. It is merely one account. Another nurse in another hospital may chirp different tunes altogether.
Yet we have encountered similar murmurs from other sources... and we have come to believe there is justice in them.
The vast majority of the vaccinated may suffer no aftereffects whatsoever, or merely slight aftereffects.
We do not claim otherwise.
Yet it offers small, small solace to the hundreds of thousands whom the vaccines have likely wrecked - some beyond salvage.
And we believe, heart and soul, that each American is entitled to know.
