Opus 2021-056: Thalidomide Anyone?

I do not plan on taking the vaccination for the China virus.  Of course they might tie me down to force it, but if I am free to make the choice, then no.  Although there might be other reasons if we were sitting over coffee, let me share two.  One is rational and based on science.  The other is pure opinion.

I think the vaccines being offered now are incredibly dangerous.  There is a reason why the FDA has had a long process of approval for new drugs.  One of the big ones is long term side effects.  There is no possible way that the drug companies have had the time to thoroughly vet these medications.  There is a reason they demanded shelter from law suits.  Think thalidomide.  You can do a search for it but to make it brief, it was prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness.  I guess it worked.  What was not realized was that it also caused severe birth defects.  It is still used in treatment of leprosy and skin cancer but they learned the hard way that pregnant women should not take it.  

I am not planning on getting pregnant but I think it safe to assume there will be other side effects from these vaccines down the road.

The second is totally personal.  I have never taken a flu shot.  At 68 I was still working on a daily basis with middle school students, a population not know for being healthy.  I went through long periods where some would deliberately cough in my face hoping to make me sick so I would stay home a few days.  It didn’t work because I had been coughed on for years, by the best, and I had developed an immunity.  The body works that way.  The China virus is just another version of the flu.  Will people get sick?  Yes.  Will some die?  Yes.  Will I be one of them?  Hard to tell.  Do all medications have side effects?  Yes.  

I prefer to take my chances with my God given and strengthened immune system rather than put strange chemicals in my body.  Will these vaccines save some lives?  Probably.  So does the placebo.  Will it kill a few?  Yes.  Will the vast majority feel sicker from the side effects of the vaccine than they would from the disease feared?  There is not way to prove that but I believe it is true.

So I don’t plan on taking it.  Of course I am expecting that the Progressives will find some way to force the issue.  They will come up with regulations that will make it impossible to get our teeth cleaned if we cannot prove we had the vaccine.  It is to protect us and the hygienist.  They will have a special tax surcharge for those who are not vaccinated.  After all we should pay our fair share.  They will set up your credit cards so they will not work if they don’t have vaccine verification.  They need to protect the compliant.  The methods are unlimited.  If you think it was irritating to have people take your temperature when you went into a building then get ready for the vaccine screening.  

(Rev 13:17 KJV) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Interesting times, yes?
