“The head of infectious disease medicine at my hospital privately told me that he was working with the state government to restrict the civil rights of unvaccinated people.” - James P. Miller, MD
Former abortionist Abby Johnson on Lindsay Clancy:
"We have become extraordinarily practiced at looking at a dead child and asking first what his or her mother was going through.
And abortion taught us how to do that.
For decades, the defense of abortion has depended on shifting the moral center of the story away from the human being who dies and toward the human being experiencing the crisis. The mother’s suffering becomes the justification. But suffering does not make killing good,” Johnson wrote....
Johnson argued that culture has spent more than 50 years training itself to begin with a mother’s fear, financial stress, lack of support or depression until the child’s humanity nearly disappears—first in abortion and now in cases like this one."
This is brilliant:
“The Constitution was not written as a suggestion for calm weather. It was written to restrain power precisely when fear is highest and the people in charge are most certain they know better.”
@SenatorRicketts@USRepMikeFlood@SenatorFischer
“No law may require or coerce a person to receive or use a medical product, or impose a penalty or deprive a benefit for refusing a medical product or refusing to disclose whether a person has received a medical product.”
While you wait for Fauci’s hearing to start, a reminder that when the U.S. government purchased Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, it contractually agreed to keep the PREP Act immunity in place for as long as their vaccines are administered in the United States.
What that means is that the U.S. government promised Pfizer and Moderna that it could not be sued for harms from its Covid-19 vaccines, irrespective of whether an emergency continued to exist.
But not only did our government contractually agree that Pfizer and Moderna can harm and kill Americans with impunity, it also guaranteed Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars for this privilege.
Even worse, the U.S. government guaranteed this immunity in July 2020, months before it first authorized Covid-19 vaccines in December 2020. Meaning, the U.S. government pre-guaranteed these companies immunity from any harm caused by their products, thus, knowingly undermining any incentive for them to create a safe product.
And how much were Pfizer and Moderna guaranteed to be paid by the U.S. government to develop a product that could harm its own citizens with impunity? A total of over $21 billion just in the initial rollout -- $8.63 billion for Moderna and $13.15 billion for Pfizer.
Sound unreal? See the actual contracts for yourself linked in my most recent restack.
The Fallout
The implications are incredible.
To start, Pfizer and Moderna could sue the U.S. government for breach of contract and potentially other relief if PREP Act immunity is terminated before the United States’ use of their COVID-19 vaccines ceases.
Only in an upside-down world would the U.S. government siphon over $21 billion of its citizen’s taxpayer dollars to Pfizer and Moderna and pre-guarantee a profit-motivated company sweeping immunity for harms its product causes to its own citizens.
Summing it up:
The U.S. government guaranteed Pfizer and Moderna immunity for injuries from their products before they were even developed, thereby eliminating the incentive for these companies to make their product safe. Worse, it gave these companies billions of dollars of its citizens’ money to develop these products, and even more incredible, it then spent billions more of its citizen’s money to promote Pfizer’s product as “safe and effective.” And in an ultimate slap to its citizens, then it required them to be injected with this product under the threat of grave consequences, including expulsion from school, losing their job, discharge from the military, etc.
Who is Being Protected?
Who exactly is the U.S. government working for? Whose interests is it protecting?
Government agencies have a well-documented history of being captured by industry. It is known in political science as regulatory capture. In this case, the capture is by pharma and the degree of capture is unprecedented.
You, the collective citizens of the United States, have paid Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars. You have paid with your taxes. You have paid with your bodies when you were injured without recourse against Pfizer or Moderna. You have paid with your right to freedom when you were forced to be injected with their products under penalty of losing basic civil rights, employment, or more.
And what have Pfizer and Moderna paid? Nothing. They instead raked in billions of dollars of your money as long as they developed a Covid-19 vaccine and were shielded from liability irrespective of how unsafe of a product they developed or how much harm it would cause the public that paid them.
The Solution
The above again brings into focus why no medical product should ever be mandated. This assures you can say “no” if you don’t want a product developed with pre-guaranteed immunity for harms. “No” where its clinical trial had more deaths in the vaccinated group than the placebo group. “No” where it generates over $55 billion in revenue but its morally-bankrupt manufacturers won’t spend a dollar to compensate those injured.
Even if you support all current vaccines, masks, etc., there may come a day when you may not want to take a mandated medical product or procedure. When that day comes, it may be too late to recapture the rights you have surrendered. Rights lost are rarely retrieved. This is why, while everyone should be free to take any medical product, everyone should also be free to decline any medical product without penalty.
It should be that simple.
Take Action
To that end, I encourage you to send the following proposed legislation to your legislative representatives:
“No law may require or coerce a person to receive or use a medical product, or impose a penalty or deprive a benefit for refusing a medical product or refusing to disclose whether a person has received a medical product.”
Medical freedom is freedom. If you cannot get a job, go to school, play sports, sit in a restaurant, or otherwise participate in civil society because you refuse a medical product, then what good are your rights if you can exercise them only at home by yourself? That is why medical freedom is a fundamental right that must be permanently fixed into the law of every civilized nation.
Thank you to all the warriors, veteran and new, who join arms in the battle to secure this fundamental right. As aptly stated in the Declaration of Independence, we “are endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights” and to safeguard those rights “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” We must never yield to the tyranny of permitting others to dictate what can or must be placed, administered, or injected onto or into our bodies. For once that right is ceded, none truly remains.
@MidwesternDoc@MidwesternDoc Have you ever considered putting those 6800 comments into a spreadsheet? It would probably entail a lot of work, but maybe A.I. could help. It would be SO helpful for sorting and searching.
@RepDonBacon What is this?! Nebraskans don't support amnesty.
Immigrants from Haiti or any other place should enter the US legally.
As a US Rep, you should put the interests of United States citizens over the interests of Haitian citizens, not vice versa.
BREAKING - Six House Republicans, most of whom support the mass amnesty Dignity Act, Salazar, Lawler, Bacon, Gimenez, Fitzpatrick, and Malliotakis, have joined Democrats in a 219 to 209 vote to advance protections for over 350,000 Haitian illegals from deportation.
@LeaderJohnThune We voted for you over Daschle b/c he boasted about living in & sympathizing with other DC people instead of South Dakotans.
I'm concerned you've become equally out of touch w/ your constituents.
You know Americans overwhelmingly support the Save Act. Pass it.
@LeaderJohnThune
I voted for you over Tom Daschle all those years ago. I recall that Daschle was out of touch and out of step with his constituents.
The same will be true of you if you fail to pass the SAVE Act. A vast majority of Americans support voter ID. Just do it.
@xevekiah This is exactly what happened to me when I had a P.E. 25 years ago. Doctors were condescendingly assuring me that it wasn't embarrassing to have a panic attack, that even doctors sometimes have them, too....
WTF?? House Republicans just introduced a measure to REPEAL the 17th Amendment of the US Constitution. They want to ban the people from voting for our US Senators. Instead, they want the Legislature to appoint our Senators.
WTF are they thinking?
Today is a very good day.
I’m hearing more Senators are considering signing on as cosponsors to the SAVE Act.
Please continue to respectfully & diligently call your Senators.
Without fair elections, America is not a free nation.
“Compassionate” progressive policy - on abortion, immigration, or anything else - can be summed up by Proverbs 12:10:“the mercy of the wicked is cruel”
Christians, you have got to stop being so gullible. Seriously, your naivete might feel warm and nice and friendly, but that's not how Christian love works.
A friend shared a viral post that listed all the un-Christlike things ICE is supposedly doing, such as using "children as bait," "shooting unarmed protesters," "teargassing families," and "terrorizing immigrant communities and people of color."
The whole post goes on and on like this, and it's dripping with moral outrage and emotional manipulation. What troubles me is that so many people share this like it's wise and insightful. This is textbook emotional ambush. No argument, no evidence, just big feelings.
But I'll tell you what isn't Christlike, and I've got scripture to back it up. Being GULLIBLE.
It isn't Christlike to be gullible. It isn't Christlike to believe and share debunked propaganda. It isn't Christlike to be led by your emotions. It isn't Christlike to outsource your critical thinking skills to the leftwing activists in the mainstream media.
So why are Christians so gullible? It's because they've been trained to think love means whatever it feels like in your happy place. If you do something that *feels* compassionate and think that's what Jesus wants you to do, you're wrong. Biblical love isn't about pointing your emotions in a particular direction. Rather, biblical love is defined by actions and attitudes prescribed in scripture. How you feel about it is of secondary concern.
What does the scripture say? "And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ." (Philippians 1:9-11)
First, notice what Paul prays for: that "your love may abound more and more." Clear enough. We're talking about genuine Christian love. But Paul qualifies it.
Second, "with knowledge and all discernment." In other words, Christian love is a thinking love. To discern is to make proper distinctions and draw clear moral boundaries. But why is that important?
Third, these things matter so "you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless." In other words, we need knowledge and discernment to anchor our love in what is good and right. Or as Paul says, to "approve what is excellent."
This sort of discerning love is "pure and blameless." If love lacks discernment, then is ceases to be pure and blameless. In fact, undiscerning "love" is not real love. It is all feelings and no wisdom. That's what we're seeing in Minneapolis. Christians claim to be "loving the stranger" without understanding proper biblical categories. It's love without discernment, and it's causing a lot of harm.
Paul's prayer is for love PLUS knowledge PLUS discernment. Love requires discernment. Period. Discernment is the rope that keeps people tethered to reality. Without it, love becomes a weapon that evil people use against you.
Without discernment, love gets twisted into a sentimental monstrosity. For the gullible and undiscerning, this kind of pseudo "love" claims the moral high ground. It does have some rhetorical advantages, which is why so many people fall for it. It sounds biblical enough to convince undiscerning people it must be right. But it's not. These are not arguments or facts. They are ear tickling slogans, nothing more.
Discerning love is pure and blameless. Undiscerning love is impure and blameworthy. It's obvious that the unhinged rioters and agitators bear the blame for their actions. But their Christian enablers bear some of the blame too. To claim the mantle of Christlikeness in service of lawlessness is evil, even if the one doing it is simply misguided.
The blame belongs to those Christians who are so desperate to feel compassionate that they'll believe anything, question nothing, and call it love.
Christians, we are morally responsible for how we love. We don't just get to feel sorry for an illegal immigrant and "stand up" for them and call it love. That's not love, no matter how strongly you feel it. Love does not spread leftist propaganda, "love rejoices with the truth" (1 Cor 13:6).
So, for all the gullible Christians who are angrily venting about ICE, your Christian love is not pure. It is not blameless. You are functioning as agents of chaos. You bear the blame for your irrational outrage.
So I'll say it again. Being gullible is a sin. Being undiscerning is a morally culpable act. It is wrong to carelessly wield the name of Christ, making false accusations against law enforcement and making excuses for criminals.
Your emotions and subjective ideas of Christlikeness don't dictate reality. Truth does. And truth requires discernment, not just feelings. We don't get to emote all over the place and call it love.
So Christians, stop being gullible. Start being discerning. That's what real love requires.
@USRepMikeFlood Please support @RepThomasMassie and defund the unconstitutional automobile kill switch legislation. The legislation is not good for Nebraskans, and it's not good for Americans.
🔥The amendment that @RepChipRoy@RepScottPerry and I offered yesterday to defund the unconstitutional automobile kill switch legislation in the Infrastructure bill will get a vote later today. Please call & encourage your member now to vote YES. I’ll post the floor debate soon.
