The approved, progressive position on COVID vaccines has certainly been malleable. Before the U.S. election, no respectable progressive would trust a vaccine developed under Donald Trump. No one could trust their safety. It was all a rush job to aid Trump’s re-election. So deep was the concern for the development of a vaccine pre-election day that Pfizer kept quiet about the success of its vaccine trials. They knew on October 19th of the success of their vaccine candidate. But they, and the FDA, would rather let people die for one month more than announce to the world the success of Trump’s Operation Warp Speed that might contribute to his re-election.
Now that the election is over, and not only Pfizer, but Moderna and AstraZeneca have proven safe and effective vaccines, now the progressive line turns away from that of the anti-vaxxers to the familiar ground of jackboot compulsion.
After nine months of unbridled compulsion, the closing of parks, businesses, livelihoods and social life itself, the idea of forcing people to put a substance into their bodies must seem like small potatoes. Resistance is simply incomprehensible.
While it is true there is no reference in the Charter protecting people from forced vaccination, we learned during the pandemic that the words of the Charter were empty all along, so “rights” don’t matter. The state decides, and you must comply. If you don’t coercion will be applied until you are broken. That’s polite society’s latest.
