Vaxxocalypse Now
November 20, 2021
By Janet Levy
My first encounter with vaxxport tyranny took place last week at a Los Angeles gym, where I have been a member for two years. Abiding by an edict from the governor of California, the reception staff asked to see my vaccination card or a QR code before allowing me access to the facilities. I told the newly anointed gatekeepers that whether or not to partake of the vaccine was a personal medical decision, as in "my body, my choice." I made clear my resentment of the tyrannical invasion of my privacy — especially for the COVID "virus" that has demonstrated a 99.5+% survival rate for healthy, fit people under 70.
To be able to exercise that day, I later succumbed to the pressure, but not before snidely remarking that no one asks for the results of my TB test or hepatitis titer. After all, those diseases are more infectious and lethal than COVID.
My gym story does not end there. It took a pleasant twist, and yet drove home a cautionary tale tinged with irony. But I'll save that for the end. The bigger concern is that, across the world, countries are imposing severe restrictions on the unvaxxed. The unjabbed are denied access to places they should be rightfully free to use. In some places, such as Australia and Austria, interstate travel is proscribed, and they are mistreated and shamed for refusing vaccines cleared under dubious standards of emergency use approval (EUA). Their reasonable suspicion that Big Pharma is orchestrating a con game is scorned and derided. Any fear of vaccine despotism is ridiculed, and protests are ruthlessly put down, minimized, or ignored.
In America, such interdictions — ridiculous as they are — come from the very top. Recently, President Joe Biden addressed the American people with a paternalistic admonishment: "We have been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost us all. So please do the right thing." Noam Chomsky, the controversial professor emeritus at MIT, provided the most outlandish example of left-leaning academia's deep, hate-driven need to punish those who differ with their viewpoint. He proposed that the unvaccinated be segregated and told to arrange for their own food supply without coming into contact with others.
Mandating vaccination raises some significant questions. Doesn't a person have a choice in submitting to a treatment or a protection against a disease? Can a democratic government impose vaccination on those who are not convinced of its safety and efficacy? And the most important one: did we — and our founding fathers — choose to create a society where we have to reveal personal health information to go about our activities? Heaven knows where these vaccine edicts could lead, but Americans certainly don't want the equivalent of the Chinese Communist Party's social scoring system, which this is beginning to resemble.
Recently, I interviewed anesthesiologist Christopher Rake, M.D., following his perp walk by security personnel out of UCLA Medical Center for failing to meet the deadline for the hospital's COVID-19 vaccine requirement for medical staff. A devout Catholic, he could have invoked a religious exemption, but he chose to oppose the tyranny, saying "no" to the dictatorial terms of the state of California. Currently on leave without pay, he says he's "willing to lose everything — job, career, paycheck, even my life" to fight for freedom.
