AAPS Opposes Forced/Coerced COVID-19 Vaccinations

AAPS:

In response to the Joint Statement by the American Medical Association (AMA) and others supporting mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for all health care workers, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) issued a Statement in Support of the Right of All, Including Medical Workers, to Decline Medical Intervention:

“The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) declares that all human beings have the right to liberty, which they do not forfeit when they serve the sick or the disabled. The ethical commitment to protect others does not require workers to surrender their bodily integrity and self-determination….

“Risks and benefits differ in individual patients and differing circumstances. Achieving a stamp of approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—premature because studies are not scheduled to be complete before the end of 2022—does not confer safety or effectiveness. FDA-approved products have frequently been withdrawn….

“The Joint Statement recognizes only a medical exemption, and omits mention of a religious exemption though many workers object to receiving these products based on their religious beliefs. Medical exemptions are virtually never recognized for the COVID vaccines because there is improper denial that they cause harm to anyone.

“Long-term effects of these novel, genetically engineered products cannot possibly be known at this point. These could include autoimmune disorders, antibody-enhanced disease, infertility, cancer, or birth defects….

“AAPS favors insistence on fully informed, truly voluntary consent for all medical intervention. This includes full disclosure of all risks, and a diligent effort to identify and track risks…. Our medical organizations should be advocating for free and open discussion and opposing censorship….

“Without freedom, there is no safety for either workers or our patients.”

AAPS president Paul Kempen, M.D., Ph.D., adds the following observations:

• As of mid-July, 30 million people have recovered from COVID-19 in the U.S. and have natural immunity. Vaccination of these persons confers only risk with little to no benefit, yet these mandates do not exempt them.
• Serious side effects have been identified, including paralysis and inflammation of the heart muscle, which may not resolve and may cause death.
• As variants multiply, “booster” shots may be required, with increasing risk of allergic phenomena.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has represented physicians in all specialties since 1943. Its motto is omnia pro aegroto, everything for the patient.

Three House Republicans from North Carolina Voted to Remove Civil War Statues

The roll call vote took place one month ago.

Virginia Foxx, Greg Murphy and Richard Hudson all voted to remove the Civil War statues from the Capitol.

Ted Budd, Madison Cawthorn and Dan Bishop, to their credit, voted "nay". Rouzer and McHenry also voted against the bill.

All of the socialists voted in favor including Greensboro's own Kathy Manning.

James Kennedy appropriately asks: "Why would a conservative use his vote to endorse the slanderous lies that have been told about the South and the true cause of the War for Southern Independence?"

Inspiring, Insightful Leader

Trustworthiness and integrity are very important attributes for political leaders (circa May, 2021): (HT: Fred)

The "Devolution" Series

Patel Patriot has penned a six-part Devolution series that is well worth reading. Part 6 is found here and lists links to the previous five parts.

The series discusses one particular Chinese defector and overall Chinese subversion within the US; the COVID-19 pandemic; the federal response to election and national security threats; the military's role; and Antifa. It lays out a theoretical pathway that Donald Trump constructed to deal with what he saw was happening to enable him to regain power. 

These installments are each a compelling read. See what you think. (HT: LB)

The COVID Charade Reboots

Now, the public is coming to the realization that the COVID vaccine does not uniformly prevent getting the illness; and it apparently is not uniformly preventing vaccinated folks from transmitting the illness to others.

We knew from the studies and the initial descriptions of the vaccine that it never really was represented to prevent people from getting infected. And we did not know how the vaccine would affect transmission. Instead, the value of the vaccine mainly is that it prevents some of the most severe complications due to COVID. And this seems to be confirmed by the fact that deaths are not climbing dramatically even though we have more hospitalizations.

But we once again face a crisis of credibility for the ruling classes and the public health establishment. Consider the bewildering array of edicts--

• mask, unmask, mask again;
• force vaccination even if you are not at risk, and even though the vaccine does not prevent transmission;
• force vaccination even if you have been previously infected, or if you test positive for antibodies;
• lock down, re-open, and perhaps lock down again;
• ignore the scientific and the rational, and instead dictate to your subjects based on whatever feels right, or whatever will assuage perceptions.

We find ourselves in this quandary because some of our leaders are inclined toward tyranny. And the rest of our leaders are inclined toward cowardice or are profoundly ignorant-- take your pick.

Many citizens are understandably angered by the requirements to return to using masks in schools and elsewhere. Many others are also angered by forced vaccination. And they are entirely justified to feel this way. They ought to consider every recourse they might have.

Last year, the focus needed to be on protecting the vulnerable, treating the sick, offering preventive medication and leaving most of us free to go about our daily lives. When the calculated decision was made to refuse taking this approach by leaders from both parties, it led us toward our present moment. It assured we would still be dealing with this issue today because there was a failure to confront and oppose the wrong-headedness of the approaches that were being advocated.

Do we have herd immunity? Not in the classical sense. But the vaccines offered could only provide herd immunity from the most severe effects of the illness, not from the illness itself. From that standpoint, we are once again very close to the kind of herd immunity that matters most for COVID-19.

Our Gulag: No Better Than the Communists

Tillis, Burr Support/ Advance Unwritten Socialist Infrastructure Bill

It is common knowledge that the democratic socialists are planning to use an infrastructure bill to advance left-wing policy measures including components of the Green New Deal.

Last night, there was a cloture vote on a bill that has not yet been written or reviewed. That was to enable a straight, up-and-down majority vote on the bill when it is ultimately released.

Both Thom Tillis and Richard Burr voted to invoke cloture, thereby allowing the socialists to avoid filibuster requirements on a bill that ordinarily would be openly scrutinized and debated. The price tag is $1.2 trillion.

By the way, Tillis has also been working behind the scenes pushing an amnesty deal.

I don't want to beat a dead horse. But the North Carolina GOP is a fraud.
