What Do Mandatory Vaccination and Forced Sterilization have in Common?
[American Thinker] What would you say if I told you a distraught woman recently came into my counseling office? She explained that her boss threatened that, if she didn’t have sex with him, she would be fired. He’d already banned her from all firm social activities and said that he’d do what he could to destroy her personal life too. After he was done with her, he said, she wouldn’t be able to leave the house. He would take away everything that meant anything to her.

She was crying because her boss had already shown how powerful he was. Even though sleeping with him was the last thing she wanted to do, she saw it as her only option. She needed the job and she didn’t want her life ruined.

Would you be screaming sexual harassment? You should because this definitely fits the definition of sexual coercion and abuse. What a disgusting situation!!!

The story I told you is hypothetical. But, if we change the scenario slightly, the government, MSM, big tech, and many other corporate giants are making similar threats against millions of citizens who don’t want to take the Covid vaccination. Magazines such as National Geographic have run articles about it. As the magazine puts it, those who refuse to get the vaccine may not be able to go to the office, attend a sporting event, even get a seat at a restaurant.

When people hear my original scenario about this woman whose boss is sexually harassing her, they are outraged. In fact, the #METOO movement is centered around situations like this. But, when people hear that our President is working with private industries to support a vaccine passport that will force many people to get the vaccine against their will, they cheer.

Is it because one only affects the individual, while the other affects all of us? Maybe it’s for the greater good? Some clearly believe that everyone should be coerced into stopping the spread.

If you agree with any of these reasons, I must ask if you’ve seen The Handmaid’s Tale? It takes place in a post-democratic America without guaranteed freedom. Radioactive fallout that left many individuals infertile is such a problem that fertile females are used as baby vessels -- for the greater good, to ensure the human race survives.

These women are forced to have sex with a man who basically owns them. Their rights are already greatly restricted. They have a curfew. They can’t go out. They are completely controlled by the governing body. If they manage to get pregnant, they get more privileges, pampering, and extra rights. But if they refuse to cooperate, they face even harsher conditions.

That fictional scenario is eerily like words from Dr. Leana Wen, Public Health professor, at George Washington University. She said Americans need a "carrot" to "incentivize" them to get vaccinated. take the vaccine. "We need to make it clear to them that the vaccine is the ticket back to pre-pandemic life." If people aren’t coerced, "people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms anyway." Ironically, she is a former Planned Parenthood president. You know — "My body, my choice."

#3 

Who is to say that this Vax won't lead to Genetic Sterilization or increased birth abnormalities in the years to come? We all agree that we do not know the long term effects yet.

All we know is what we are "told".


Given the mortality rates for 60+ I can understand taking it, IF they wanted to.

But as we already know the death rate for those less than 40 year olds without a pre-existing medical issue (breeding years) is extremely Low.

So what is the problem?

#4 A hypocritical tool of the ruling caste to get around being so damn obvious about their racism. Get businesses to implement the vax passport. No have, no service. If 'they' are too stupid to obtain a voter ID, guess they'll have problems getting an approved vax passport or produce one when challenged at the establishment entrance too.

#5 My wife who is 75 has several significant medical issues including a compromised immune system....we are holding tight till more data is available.
She recently was in hospital with pneumonia and passed two tests for Covid.
Her breathing was such they wanted to put her on a ventilator. I said no so they used a machine like CPAP but more powerful and her breathing improved. She was home for XMAS.
We both also had the Hong Kong Flu back in 1968 so we understand the drill.

#6 Just think of vax certificate the same way you think of driver's license.
