Obviously, vaccines are a
Obviously, vaccines are a serious issue. It is good to see so many stepping up to, hopefully, ensure the U.S. has a vaccine program.
Some have suggested the states take over. However, we will ossibly find that some red states will not provide a vaccine program.
In addition, "Professional medical societies, pharmacists, state health officials and vaccine manufacturers, as well as a new advocacy group, are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nation’s decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts."
We can only hope someone or group steps up to fill the need.
Nobody's going to step up.
Martin Daniel strong armed our county and state into adapting the so-called "Swedish Plan" in early spring 2020. There was in depth discussion on his government Facebook page, that by law is public record, on this issue. At the time it was pointed out that not only did Americans not have the social conscience nor general average intelligence, of the Swedes, the
Swedish extensive Covid education program wouldn't be in use here. Everything was to be 100% voluntary, only they wouldn't tell the population the danger they were actually facing. That people, is how one uses a virus to kill for political gain. Those spreading the virus were brainwashed into thinking it wasn't a threat. Martin Daniel knew this from the start, before Jacobs even was told what to do.
(link...).
By the time Addie Gravitz was murdered under this action in 2022, not only was it clear that the Swedish Plan was a complete failure, but we had deviated so far into a government misinformation and propaganda campaign, that there is no doubt that the plan was to accelerate the spread of the disease, claiming that would provide herd immunity. Based on what I've seen and heard people brag about, (I've had covid 5 times, it's a hoax) getting the disease is less effective at providing herd immunity. Every single time you catch covid there are long term implications on your body and health. And they're changing as the virus evolves.
What did we give up? Our entire emergency response system. See, there is a shake-up in the medical industry going on between the business and provider ends of hospitals.v The providers are dedicated to serving patients, but the business guys set the rules. If the doctors can't decide what's best on their own, the system collapses. That's the point at which we sit right now. At the start of covid, we had a Board of Health, staffed by doctors. Our Health Department director was one of, if not the best Public Health Administrators in the nation. The State of South Carolina hired her as their primary Public Health advisor with big raise and way better working conditions. What does that tell you about the way she was doing her job? Under her leadership, we had the best covid response in the nation, and our reopening plan, brought forth by the Board of Health, was the most pro-business of virtually any real plan to manage the pandemic while re-opening. Frankly, I can't say enough about the brilliance of the Board of Health. It may well have been the single most effective braintrust I've ever witnessed. Using Madison Wisconsin as a comparison, we started out in our initial response months ahed of them and have ended up years behind. We no longer have an information system on Public Health in this County.b Our Health Department is run by the Mayor's budget guy. I'm still waiting for evidence that he knows what he's doing. Something good and concrete, I'm tired of "Our emergency's rooms are full , our ambulances don't run and the nurses are going to end up on strike if someone doesn't step up."
And that information system is vital in battling pandemics, or any public health issue. We've lost that. During covid, our Public Health system went from being the best in American, with expert medical professionals, some of the best in their profession, many with direct ties to UT's research department who have even more experts, to the worst, doubling Madison's death count plus several hundred, in 3 1/2 years. Jacobs became involved with covid during the shutdown. He never gave any indication that he knew anything at all about covid or pandemics. From the start, Jacobs relied on lies, innuendo, misinformation, and propaganda in his messaging. Not once during the covid crisis did Jacobs acknowledge that covid management policy was in the best interest of the community. As I said, from the start, Glenn Jacobs messaging on the institution of Martin Daniels plan had a distinctly Hitleresque tone, bringing back memories of Nazi Germany, the politics of hate.

The achilles heal of any act of good is motive. By substituting personal political power (Jacobs goal) with the good of the community (the goal of the Health Department and the Board of Health). Jacobs was able to flip[ the messaging from one of community cooperation to one of mistrust and anarchy. There's a reason Mayor's bring the Proud Boys to town to advance their agenda and it's not because they're looking out for their community. There's a reason you destroy institutions of integrity that bring integrity to parts of our community and it's not because of public interest. It's to advance a political philosophy at the expense of a community, in this case destroying our pandemic response. Our government is based on the that government providing for the general welfare and happiness of the citizens. Life is indeed the first right the government is duty bound to protect. Don't want the shot? You have liberty and there is much space. Go there. Pursue your happiness without spreading a deadly disease and killing children.
As an aside, the covid vaccination was the moon shot of our generation. There was a running discussion at UT over whether or not a covid vaccine was even possible due to the nature of the virus. Folks, during covid, those who were unvaccinated started out with a 10% death rate. It had dropped by the time of the introduction to less than that and the vaccine was still over 95% effective in preventing death, and 65 in preventing hospitalizations. This vaccination is one of the most effective vaccines ever produced and it's paving the way for responses to other pathogens. If this isn't the information you've come across in your "personal research" you don't know what the hell your doing.
Our community was lucky to have Alan Simms provide accurate, updated information on covid, citing many primary sources that I still use today. Had we been dependent on outraged UPS safety committee members who quickly figured out that a 10% death rate would kill our business, and were desperately trying to make the point that covid prevention was all our business, we all needed the work, and we were essential. The sooner covid was managed, the quicker we would go back to normal. Covid was never managed and there ids no normal any more. We are at the heart of the American Nazi movement here and the movement is growing nationally. We still don't get, or demand, accurate covid information. Even those like me that relied on numbers analysis have had our numbers pulled. Censorship is rampant, especially now that the politics, rather than the science, of grants has become the norm. The problem with handing too much power to those elected is the people we're electing. People with ethics and morals don't need the guidance of ethical professionals. Political whores who would use the government to kill in order to advance their political agenda do.
Of course that"s where Kyle Ward jumped on the terror train and decided he wanted in on the biggest public extermination in Knoxville history. They were fixing to haul off Boxer, and Ward wanted in. So how does all this relate to the topic?
Vaccine denial is strictly based on propaganda. The point of this essay is to point out that a grassroots propaganda campaign can and will change perception of a problem, regardless of whether or not that information/misinformation campaign has anything to do with reality. And that's where we're act. To control minds you have to convince people to ignore reality, science34 and facts. Simply put, that's what politicians have used covid and covid vaccines for. Terrorist/Nazi regimes need innocent dead people to advance their causes. Simply put, this is how you set up a community like ours to accept someone who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about taking away access to vaccines. Lace'em up people, this is going to be long and ugly, they've won. Our local politicians have gotten away with murder before, and they
will jump on board with a chance to murder at the national level. And we'll keep voting them in, because4 we no longer, as a community, have any sense of neighborhood, the only factors considered are self-centered. Without a sense of community, (I mean c'mon, Wards peopler were running around telling folks to send their kids to school sick, and people bought into it. Jesus, How many sick people in a room with no ventilation does it take to administer a fatal viral load of covid to a child in an eight hour exposure?? We know of three that Addie was exposed to and given the Rocky Hill was one of the most propagandized neighborhood's in Knox County, it's probably fair to assume they weren't alone. vI quit pursuing that detail after I got to the point where it was clear what happened. What good does it do to out kids and young workers afraid of losing their job over a political position?)
And that how one does this sort of thing, and how they're going to get away with it. They've grass rooted this position in local governments all over America. I get to grow old watching vaccine deniers slaughter hundreds of children. Yee-haw.
