MAY 28, 2021
This post was inspired by the fact that I was fired from my job at the Arlington County Treasurer’s Office just for questioning the vaccine mandate the Treasurer imposed on employees. If you would like to watch the video version of this blog post, see above – I tell the whole story!
First and foremost, when people ask, why are you so opposed to this vaccine, please let’s make sure we a) have a ready concise response and b) cite our source.
Here’s mine: Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) — a term we will hear all over the news in the coming months. From the NIH website: “Vaccines … consisting of the unmodified or minimally modified coronavirus viral spike to elicit neutralising antibodies … may worsen COVID-19 disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Why? “COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.” This is straight from the NIH website. The scientists also stated: “The specific and significant COVID-19 risk of ADE should have been and should be prominently and independently disclosed to research subjects currently in vaccine trials, as well as those being recruited for the trials and future patients after vaccine approval, in order to meet the medical ethics standard of patient comprehension for informed consent.”
(But that is by no means the only reason. Go to No Jab For Me to see that there are many many more.)
NEXT, let’s contact our elected officials, locally and federally, and demand that they instate a national ban on vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. We can stop this slide down the slippery slope to fascism but it’s going to take a significant percentage of us speaking up and demanding our Constitutional right to privacy and freedom. It’s a numbers game, pure and simple. Math. The more of us who object, the louder the cacophony of truth-tellers and liberty-demanders. Simply put, it’s our patriotic duty to contact our elected officials. You might think “they work for us” is an old trope, but why do you think the bizarrely illogical “defund the police” concept took root? Loudness. Repeated loud demands for change. Well, we don’t have to yell or riot or loot or even be loud. We just have to have a greater number of people speak up. The Silent Majority must transform into consistently vocal objectors of injustice and demanders of civil liberties and American rights to freedom from tyranny.
We must also contact the Department of Labor to ask them to restore their former OSHA policy regarding VAERS. VAERS stands for Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System and prior to May 23, 2021, if an employer was mandating or even pressuring their employees to get a vaccine, then they were required by law to report to VAERS any of their workers’ side effects. But as of May 23, 2021, because they don’t want to “disincentivize” (which is literally not even a word!!!!) any employer’s efforts to coerce their employees to get the vaccine, the Dept of Labor is no longer enforcing this policy. (In the template I will provide below for you to copy/paste and send to your elected officials, we will mention this disturbing development, and to our 3 members of the U. S. Congress, we will ask them to haul the Secretary of Labor — I mean, invite him to appear — before the Senate and the House (so Senator Paul and perhaps Congresswoman Greene can grill him about this policy reversal ).
A few bees we will put into the bonnets of our members of congress: forcing private businesses to require customers to show their vaccine card renders these business owners a proxy of the state, a de facto enforcement arm of the government. WHO is behind this pattern of division and statism? (WHO — did you see what I did there)
To put it in perspective, if federal agents or even local government employees who work for the Health Department were standing outside the business, demanding to see your papers, we would overwhelmingly resist that kind of blatant, overt, tyranny. We must demand the passage of legislation barring any private business from requiring proof of vaccination.
Let’s also ask for legislation barring employers from even asking employees if they’ve been vaccinated. What business is it of theirs whether we’ve been vaccinated? For Covid or any other vaccine? Or experienced any particular medical procedure, for that matter? It starts with “have you been vaccinated” and ends with, “list any prescription drugs you are currently taking or have ever taken.” No one should have any right to coerce anyone into disclosing their personal medical history. It is a fundamental violation of our sacrosanct American right to privacy.
If you live in Arlington County and you want to protest the discriminatory treatment that I experienced in the Arlington County Treasurer’s office last week when they forbade me, as an unvaccinated person, to eat or drink in the office so that I had to go downstairs to the lobby to even get a drink of water, and could not even remove my mask at my desk when all alone in my cube (which had been the policy during the middle of the pandemic) you can email treasurer@arlingtonva.us and countyboard@arlingtonva.us. To learn more about those elected officials, go to arlingtonva.us. In your email, be sure to mention where you live, how long you’ve lived in Arlington, and that you vote in every election. (No template will be provided.)
Finally, you know whose influence and strong support of freedom would help out right now? President Trump’s. There will be a template letter you can tweak to your liking to ask him to take a stand against any vaccine mandate or vaccine passport too. All templates are below.
AND — don’t forget to PRAY, pray your heart out. If you’re Christian, you know the drill! We are called to pray for our enemies. I deeply believe that by praying for God to fill all people’s hearts with the holy spirit or divine love (which is a kind of pre-forgiving, if they haven’t hurt you — YET), we can prevent future pain of the same nature! How? Because when God fills a person’s heart with love, they can feel joy again. And people who can feel God’s Love aren’t out there setting up a fascist state, step by pre-calculated step. They no longer take actions to hurt others because they have no desire to! (Again, it’s a numbers game: the more of us who are praying for enemies of liberty to be healed of all hatred and pain in their hearts, and filled with God’s Love, the faster we will get off the slippery slope and back to normal life.)
In closing, please remember these 3 things: when we don’t vote, when we don’t show up to cast our physical ballot, it’s the same as voting for everything to stay the same. And when we don’t speak up to people in a position of power (elected leaders) in order to object to injustice and abuse of power by authority, we’re tacitly consenting to the suffering it causes our fellow Americans (especially when it hasn’t affected us personally — YET). Thirdly, our silence is a de facto prayer for things to only get worse (meaning, it has the same effect; our silence guarantees that things will get worse). If you are a person of faith, may I remind you to pray every day, for world peace and world joy, and then TAKE ACTION, as passionately and organizedly as the mentally ill mob who want to cancel anyone who sends mean tweets. We can’t afford to wait for a miracle (they do happen but by definition, are statistically rare). Let’s speak up and demand our right to privacy and freedom. It’s a numbers game, pure and simple. Math. The more of us who object, the louder the cacophony of truth-tellers and liberty-demanders. Simply put, it’s our patriotic duty to contact our elected officials. And tell them we WILL vote for their opponent if they don’t get the job done. And pronto.

First, find your LOCAL state legislators here: https://openstates.org/ (does not work in the Edge browser, but fine in google chrome)
Then click on the link to each of your elected officials, and their email address will appear. If you want to send snail mail, so much the better. The mailing address will also appear. Open a new email, copy and paste the template below, filling in your name at the bottom and the elected official’s name at the top. Repeat for each official.
TEMPLATE FOR LOCAL OFFICIALS
Dear Senator/Representative/Assemblyperson NAME, As your constituent, I want you to know that I am morally and ethically opposed to any vaccine mandate or vaccine passport, whether at the national or local level; I ask you to take a firm public stand against either of these, and indeed draft and vote for a state ban on any type of "show proof of vaccination" requirement. Did you know that "COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated, due to something called antibody-dependent enhancement"? This quote is from the NIH website, from the summary of a study entitled, "Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID-19 vaccines worsening clinical disease." Further, forcing private businesses to require customers to show their vaccine card renders these business owners a proxy of the state, a de facto enforcement arm of the government, and there is no room for this type of fascism in our free America. To put it in perspective, if federal agents or even local government employees who work for the Health Department were standing outside the business, demanding to see our papers, we would overwhelmingly resist that kind of overt tyranny. I ask you to draft, promote and vote to pass legislation barring any private business from requiring proof of vaccination here in our state. I also ask you to support legislation barring employers from even asking employees if they’ve been vaccinated. What business is it of theirs whether an employee has been vaccinated? For Covid19 or any other vaccine? Or experienced any particular medical procedure, for that matter? It starts with "have you been vaccinated" and ends with, "list any prescription drugs you are currently taking or have ever taken." It's a slippery slope and no one should have any right to coerce an employee by threatening them with loss of employment if they don't get a vaccine or don't want to disclose their personal medical history. This is both a blatant violation of our sacrosanct American Constitutional right to privacy and an egregious violation of civil liberties. I am a registered voter and I will vote for your opponent in the next election should you decline to uphold your oath to our state Constitution and ensure unvaccinated people are not discriminated against, as well as communicate to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that informed consent, to say nothing of American values such as liberty and privacy, are at the top of your list of priorities as a public servant. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, YOUR NAME
Second, find your national legislators. To find your TWO Senators, click here. To find your one Representative, click here.

This is both a blatant violation of our sacrosanct American Constitutional right to privacy and an egregious violation of civil liberties. Lastly, it has come to my attention that the Department of Labor has suddenly reversed a longstanding policy: OSHA will no longer enforce 29 CFR 1904's recording requirements which require employers who unconstitutionally mandate the vaccine for their employees to report any side effects those employees experience to VAERS. But as of May 23, 2021, because OSHA doesn't want to "disincentivize" any employer's efforts to coerce their employees to get the vaccine, the Dept of Labor is no longer enforcing this policy. As your constituent, I find this deeply disturbing. This vaccine is known to have a multitude of side effects, some fatal, is only authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization, and is NOT FDA approved. Please schedule a congressional hearing to question Secretary of Labor Walsh immediately as to why this irresponsible and unethical policy was instituted. I am a registered voter and I will vote for your opponent in the next election should you decline to uphold your oath to the U. S. Constitution and ensure unvaccinated people are not discriminated against, as well as communicate to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that informed consent, to say nothing of American values such as liberty and privacy, are at the top of your list of priorities as a public servant. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, YOUR NAME

Dear Secretary Walsh, It has come to my attention that the Department of Labor has suddenly reversed a longstanding policy: OSHA will no longer enforce 29 CFR 1904's recording requirements which require employers who unconstitutionally mandate the vaccine for their employees to report any side effects those employees experience to VAERS. I have learned that as of May 23, 2021, because OSHA doesn't want to "disincentivize" any employer's efforts to coerce their employees to get the vaccine, your Department of Labor is no longer enforcing this policy. I find this deeply disturbing.

This vaccine is known to have a multitude of side effects, some fatal, is only authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization, and is NOT FDA approved. I have contacted my two Senators and one Representative asking them to schedule a congressional hearing to question you, Secretary of Labor Walsh, thoroughly and immediately, as to why this irresponsible and unethical policy was instituted. I ask you to use your authority as Labor Secretary to revert to the prior policy and, as a public servant, take action to contribute to the health and wellness and safety of your fellow Americans in the workplace. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, YOUR NAME

Dear President Trump, I am reaching out as a long time supporter and someone who voted for you twice. I'm so sad to see that you are no longer in office, but I have a good feeling that 2024 will be a great year. The reason for my email is that I am very concerned about the talk, and in many places, such as New York City, the action, around vaccine mandates or vaccine passports. I know that Operation Warp Speed is your success story, but I also heard you say the other night in your OANN interview, that you are for freedom and people's right to not get the vaccine as well. Did you know that "COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated, due to something called antibody-dependent enhancement"? This quote is from the NIH website, from the summary of a study entitled, "Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID-19 vaccines worsening clinical disease." Even though you are not technically in office, you still have incredible power of influence and so I humbly ask you to please take a public stand against both vaccine passports and vaccine mandates. It's a slippery slope, Mr. President, and we are witnessing private businesses being pressured to require customers to show their vaccine card which renders these business owners a proxy of the state, a de facto enforcement arm of the government, and there is no room for this type of fascism in our free America. To put it in perspective, if federal agents or even local government employees who work for the Health Department were standing outside the business, demanding to see our papers, we would overwhelmingly resist that kind of overt tyranny. I also ask you to issue a statement in support of legislation barring employers from even asking employees if they’ve been vaccinated. What business is it of an employer -- a stranger, certainly not family -- whether an employee has been vaccinated? For Covid19 or any other vaccine? Or experienced any particular medical procedure, for that matter? No one should have any right to coerce an employee by threatening them with loss of employment if they don't get a vaccine or don't want to disclose their personal medical history. This is both a blatant violation of our sacrosanct American Constitutional right to privacy and an egregious violation of civil liberties. We all wish you were still in the White House but who knows what the future holds? I am praying every day that, as you say, "the best is yet to come." Thank you for your time and consideration, Mr. President. Sincerely, YOUR NAME
