This showed up in my morning news feeds. I foolishly began reading it. Rmuse, gender unknown, expressed no “preferred pronouns,” so I call this person “it.”
Opinion: The Supreme Court Ruled That States Can Mandate and Enforce Compulsory Vaccines
The current opposition and resistance to vaccines is a serious health hazard to society.
Perhaps, but strawman arguments are not persuasive. To wit
Although the so-called religious cult known as “anti-vaxxers” has existed for some time, what is occurring today in America is more than just a rejection of medical science by a cult of fools and charlatans. It is an honest-to-dog existential threat to the health and lives of tens-of-thousands of Americans, national security, and the country’s economic well being.
So-called by whom? Rmuse itself? And “anti-vaxxer is such a broad propanganda term, yet not broad enough to encompass much — including my own — objection the ChinCOVID “vaccines.” Allow me to explain that.
True vaccines introduce a known, and limited, quantity of a known pathogen sample into the body. The immune system detects, builds an antibody template to combat it, and produces those antibodies. When the vaccinated person is exposed to the actual pathogen, the immune system now recognizes it, dusts off its appropriate antibody template, and builds those antibodies. Infection problem solved.
Brief digression: Some people make a big deal that antibody tests for ChinCOVID start going negative after a time, and assume that means the person has lost immunity. That is incorrect. The immune system stores the antibody template, and only produces the actual antibodies when the SARS-CoV-2 virus is present. If your body perpetually circulated antibodies for every pathogen you ever been exposed to, your circulatory system would be a sludge with no room for red blood cells. Your lymph system would like clog. You would die.
Specific antibodies are only present when needed.
The three SARS-CoV-2 innoculations which currently have Emergency USe Authorization (EUA) are not vaccines (I prefer to call them pseudo-vaccines). They do not introduce a known quantity of a known pathogen, in order to provide a sample for which the body can build antibodies.
All three ChinCOVID pseudo-vaccines instead introduced mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna) or DNA (Janssen/John & Johnson) into cells, hijack the protein-building ribosomes, and cause them to produce an unknown quantity of SARS-CoV-2-type spike proteins (antigen). The immune system should then recognize that pathogen and begin the antibody production process. See above.
The spike protein production is the problem.
If viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 simply harmlessly entered cells, and caused them to harmlessly produce copies of the virus, viruses would not be a problem. But they do not.
The virus uses its spike proteins to bind to a cell membrane and enter. That process in not comparable to using a key to unlock and open a door. It is akin a to home invader kicking the door in; quite damaging. The spike proteins that allow the new virus to exit through cell membrane — using another set of spike proteins on other membrane receptors — are escaping by smashing windows.
That is why viruses make us sick. That is why conventional, true vaccines only use a tiny amount of a known pathogen; use too much vaccine and the person gets sick.
The ChinCOVID pseudo-vaccines cause the body to produce and unknown quantity of spike proteins and release them into the body to circulate. The incredible number of vaccine adverse effects reported for these pseudo-vaccines strongly suggest too many people’s bodies are producing far to much spike protein.
Here’s something else that may look like a digression. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the pseudo-vaccine induced proteins, target the ACE2 receptor on cell membranes in various organs. Once circulated, the pseudo-vaccine spike proteins can attack any cell which has ACE2 receptors. A brief and partial list of organs (and potential adverse reactions) with ACE2 receptors includes
- heart (myocarditis)
- pericardium (pericarditis)
- Pancreas (diabetes)
- Kidneys (kidney failure)
- ovaries (infertility)
- lungs (pneunomia)
- red blood cells (clotting, which lead to stroke)
With possible exception of infertility (that is a long term effect that may take time to develop), all of these have been seen post pseudo-vaccination. Last year, the FDA considered those to be possible adverse reactions, and planned to specifically watch for them.
Many of these effects can be serious, lethal, or cause permanent disability.
So much for “anti-science anti-vaxxer.” I think my educated layman’s knowledge of the science is greater than Rmuse’s.
Vaccines, or if one prefers inoculations, have been a part of America since its founding. And one might add they were mandatory to protect the health of a nation.
Going back as far as back January 1777 when then-General George Washington ordered the inoculation of all members of his army…
Never mind what Washington said. Just consider that Rmuse thinks that a pre-constitutional military law model — dreamed up by a slave-owning, white male patriarchist — is the way to deal with civilian populations.
OK, I just had to mention that for laughs. Another thing to consider is that Washington was talking about a true — if primitive — vaccine, not an experimental, unapproved (as of this writing), genetically engineered pseudo-vaccine.
Today all branches of the military “inoculate” its members upon enlistment, and depending on where members are deployed around the globe, the members may be inoculated again for diseases unique to a particular geographical location.
Yep. As a veteran, been there, done that. With approved vaccines. But this person still thinks free citizens should be treated like military personnel subject to the UCMJ, and with limited constitutional protections?
Authoritarian swine.
Republicans claim it is a violation of a person’s civil rights to require proof of vaccination.
I’m not a Republican, but damned straight. Looks like Rmuse not only wishes to impose martial law, but has a strong preference for Nazi-esque “Your papers, bitte!”
Police statist, authoritarian swine. It not only likes white male, slave-owning patriarchy, but Nazi white male, slave-owning patriarchy. What could possibly go wrong? Here’s my “vaccine” passport.
In the 1905 Supreme Court case, 197 U.S., Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the High Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court’s decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.
There it is again: Conflating vaccination with pseudo-vaccine innoculation, and explicitly calling for police power.
Wait… Aren’t we supposed to defund the police?
It returns to that SCOTUS ruling:
In the 1905 Supreme Court case, 197 U.S., Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the High Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court’s decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.
“In every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand.
“Reasonable regulation,” “safety may demand.” That means under strict scrutiny the requirement must 1) be limited to that required to achieve the goal, and 2) actually work. Since the CDC is running around telling us one “vaccination didn’t work, get two,” and “Oops, you’ll need three,” followed by “pseudo-vaccinated people still get Delta, wear a mask,” and wrapping up — for now — with “It doesn’t work for Lambda! Wear a mask forever!” … I’d have to say that forced pseudo-vaccination with unapproved experimental genetically engineer drugs fails both tests of scrutiny.
Digression 2: Wait… I though folks like it didn’t like GMO stuff?
So there it is. In this particular instance the refusal to be vaccinated, or wear a mask, or socially distance, or …
“Vaccinated?” See above. Masks? Answer this question. Socially “distance”? Riiiight.
So Rmuse is a Nazi-sque, unscientific, white-male-slave-owning patriachal police statist. How very Mahayana Zen-Buddhist of it.
Postscript: I tried to find contact data for Rmuse, so I could share my thoughts with it. I was unsuccessful, as it seems this person prefers safe anonymity over being confronted with facts. If anyone can reach it, please share this with it.
