Vaccination Proclamation: The Slow Boil.
Why COVID-19 Vaccines, to some, mean more than “just a shot.” And the cause for hesitation and resistance among the "unvaccinated."
“On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China.”
“Pneumonia of unknown cause”, was published by the WHO (World Health Organization) on Jan. 05, 2020. This began a series of events that culminated in a day that every American remembers, March 16th, 2020. The infamous Fifteen days to slow the spread. As of this date Sep. 18th, 2021, we are on day 551. Since then, 180,572,171 Americans have been “fully vaccinated” or 54.4% according to the CDC. Overall, the numbers show nearly 30% of registered voting adults 18 years or older have not received a single dose of the vaccine. And out of the 30% of those registered voting adults around 83% say they will never take it.
To understand why so many are saying no, you have to understand the many variables that culminate from a simmering pot to this boiling point. It is the politics, the decline in media trust and their inconsistent flip-flop messaging, poor sale tactics, horrendous marketing, continuous pressure campaigns, eerie remnants of historical warnings, and abysmal or calculated timing of all of them combine to create the environment we are in now. For the many that will not “take the jab” it is more than “just a vaccine.” It’s the willful submission to a failing and overreaching system. A system that no longer favors the individual. A system of incompetent, immoral, and power-hungry elites who have hit the limit of their tolerance towards decent.
The price of consistently moving the bar and the end goal is total system necropathy. The death or gangrene of our current political system as we know it.
The vintage system of “my word is my bond” is the remanence of a system between men that spoke of trust and the compound interest of that trust over time. If you kept your word you gained more allegiance. If you faltered and broke your oath, mostly sealed with a handshake, the less you were trusted. The same is true now. The modern person already approaches politicians with a hint of skepticism. Which leaves more of the burden of proof on the elected official. A responsibility by politicians that should not be taken lightly, but one that is consistently taken for granted. However, broken promises are a constant of our elected representatives. Which leads to our timeline of broken promises and flip-flops. Here is a compounded shortened list of public officials moving the bar of COVID procedures:
15 days to flatten the curve with 10 or fewer people grouping
30 days to flatten the curve with 10 or fewer people grouping
Lockdowns until further notice
Cloth face coverings are unnecessary
Cloth face coverings are recommended
Masks required until vaccination
Vaccinations and masking recommended for high-risk individuals
Vaccinations and masking recommended for all
Two Masks are recommended
Vaccinations recommended for removing masks mandates
Vaccinations and masking are both recommended
Vaccinations will be rewarded with donuts, cheeseburgers, and lottery money
Vaccinations are required for “returning to normalcy”
Vaccinations are mandated to go to bars and public outings
Vaccinations and masks are mandated in some states for government employees and healthcare works.
Australia begins construction of “quarantine hubs.”
Vaccination cards/IDs are required to enter most establishments.
Vaccinations are required for all employers with more than 100 employees.
Consistent messaging and common understandable reasoning for the rules. If masks protect others from contracting the virus from you. Why do I have to get the vaccine? If vaccines protect the vaccinated why do I have to get the vaccine if I choose to take the risk? If vaccines work, why do I still have to wear the mask? How can I still get sick if the vaccine is effective and protects me? Wasn’t the goal to slow the spread? Not to get to zero contagion or 100% vaccination?
These are just a few of the questions that do not have a concrete answer or understanding. The problem is there is no straight answer or finite end goal any longer. If there was a realistic number, percentage, or procedure in place to show a finish line. There would be a massive decrease in vaccine hesitation and skepticism. However, we are only given never-ending goal posts. We can only have so much faith and patience if what we are told is stationary.
“Vaccine development is a long, complex process, often lasting 10-15 years and involving a combination of public and private involvement.” - The History of Vaccinces
Microchips, 5G, magnets, and other theories. If you are reading this hoping to hear theories of microchips, tracking devices, and 5G injections. I regret to inform you that this is not the article for you. I have 10 years of certified experience as a first responder and frontline medical triage field worker. I do not think there are any of the above listed in the COVID-19 vaccines. However, I do think that there is utility in past vaccine development protocols. If we follow the past historical development of previous vaccination procedures. We could and would conclude that we are in the “Exploratory Stage.”
The Importance of understanding vaccine development and timelines associated with them is paramount. This is conclusive evidence for understanding what is the potential “known unknowns” of vaccine development. Anyone, including experts, that informs you they know what all of the potential side-effects are, is lying to you. They can not know because they do not control the constraints of time. It is only over time with Stage I, II, III, and IV clinical trials that we can truly know what the risks are. In 1990 the FDA and CDC established the VAERS (The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). According to the CDC, this is to identify adverse events associated with vaccines after the clinical trials are complete.
I can already hear the arguments. These are unprecedented times. This vaccine was approved and developed under FDA EUA (emergency use authorization).
“The FDA has authorized the emergency use of the vaccine, of the known and potential benefits and risks, the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown, that they have the option to accept or refuse the vaccine, and of any available alternatives to the product.” -FDA
I also see the argument that it has been FDA-approved. However, I will leave the math to you. If the Exploratory Stage has historically taken 2-4 years. How is it remotely possible for all recipients to be 100% certain of all the risks and side effects of the vaccine? The short answer is, they can’t know. And to reiterate, anyone who says they know is lying to you.
As I have laid out thus far. The remainder of Americans has chosen not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine because they do not feel comfortable. They do not trust the system in which they were produced. The best way to “sell” someone on volunteering for anything is to make them feel at ease with their decision. Pushing the mass populous to inject an unknown and, for all applicable purposes, new clinical drug. You can not coerce them into doing it. You must be patient and give them all relevant information so they feel comfortable with the decision that affects their well-being directly. Threats and incentives only cause pause, skepticism, and conspiracy theories to run rampant.
The pressure and coercion placed on Americans to take the vaccine is the pot temperature heating up. And the ones asking the questions are those who can feel the water coming to a slow boil.
The American people are reasonable and compassionate, almost to a fault. We can understand protecting our fellow Americans with short-term sacrifices. This is not the first time we have had a health scare in recent history with the 2009 H1N1 virus pandemic. However, we do require demands of us to make sense. And when elected officials no longer make common sense, you lose the good faith of the American people. We are compassionate, not ignorant. The list of changing demands is increasingly more suspect with the compound pressure of the “trusted media.” This leads to a chilling sense of times past. Americans feel that we have heard of these pressures before. And it is the blood and sacrifices of our departed ancestors that heed warning to us. The sense of something is “not right” sends a chill down the American spine.
The reemergence of the Kennkarte isn’t exact but it is familiar. “Show your papers” was a 1938 German document requirement during the Third Reich. Now, I am not one to lightly compare any procedure utilized in the early 20th century. However, I am a firm believer in “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana The educated historians know history did not happen overnight. We all perceive history in pages, paragraphs, and dates. It seems like the Nazi party was born within a few years. As if, one day they were just operating concentration camps and committing the most egregious of human rights violations. This was not the case. The Third Reich was a culmination of decades of war, poverty, economic collapse, and systematic profiling through dehumanization. As well as, the Soviet Union and its gulags (forced labor camps). Neither was governance created in a day. The following timelines are the rise and fall of these nations/tyrannical regimes:
These timelines show how the blueprints for authoritarianism and tyrannical governments are an accumulation of events. Events where the people were complacent in the justification of dehumanizing a group of fellow countrymen for short-term interests. And with the recent rhetoric of focusing hate and frustration on fellow Americans. We can see the slow roll of history repeating its self. Words used by elected officials to describe Americans as equivalent to 9/11 terrorists. These are a momentous step in the direction of dehumanizing an entire group of fellow citizens.
It was the “mainstream” group of people in power that controlled the narrative and direction of societal normalizations. These people controlled the culture, entertainment, education, arts, and influential factions of the society that gained the power to oppress. Who are the people in charge of government now? Who controls Hollywood and the entertainment industry? Who is overwhelmingly represented in the universities? Who controls the levers that cancel or censor? Who controls the culture and media? Answer those questions and you have unlocked a key of historical truths.
As I see it. The problems America has faced are not Her past transgressions. It is Her slow realization of the need to act. It took multiple decades to ignite the Revolutionary War. Ending slavery was tolerated and postponed for political grounds. Hitler was allowed to enter world events, such as the 1936 Olympic Games. While he slaughtered millions in the Holocaust. Stalin, Mao, and now Uyghurs in modern-day China. We always fight injustice, tyranny, and oppression. We have been sacrificing freedom on the altar of safety and security for at least the last 20 years. Ask yourself this question honestly. Do you feel more or less free in today’s society? Speak the truth. It was the willful commission or omission of the truth that led to hellish societies in the past.
America has historically waited until the proverbial mouse has become a life-size monster. We have ceded the battlefield before ceasing to retreat and turning to push back and resist. We are not cowards, we are out-of-shape hero’s that only rise when the beast finally manifests its self at our doorstep. And it is now that a beast approaches. It has devoured our lands and threatens our home, family, livelihood, and freedom. Americans are starting to resist because we have awoken. We have taken up our shield of righteousness. Put down our weighted cloak of complacency and idleness. We are walking towards the sword of rightful justice, dusted in the ashes of our forefathers. The American spirit has been late to the party before and is, at times, underestimated. But it should never be counted out. So I leave you with this.
“The right of revolution is an inherent one. When people are oppressed by their government, it is a natural right they enjoy to relieve themselves of oppression, if they are strong enough, whether by withdrawal from it, or by overthrowing it and substituting a government more acceptable. But any people or part of a people who resort to this remedy, stake their lives, property, and Freedom for it.” -Ulysses S. Grant 18th President of the United States
The price of freedom is only everything. Those who are resistant to the COVID-19 vaccine are not fighting for something. They feel they are fighting for everything. And once you understand that, you can begin to understand the last amber of the American spirit. The ambers of freedom burn in every American heart. Americans saying no, is preserving the last burning cinder of the American spirit from being extinguished. They burn brightest before ignition. And the current authoritarian oppression manifest is an accelerant for freedoms fire.
