Jabbing children
To the Editor:
First, and foremost, Gov. Gruesome has no authority to mandate vaxing anyone. Court after court has ruled that it is unconstitutional.
The easy fix is for all school superintendents to ignore an illegal “mandate.” All it takes is a little unity and spine on their part.
If they are threatened with the withholding of funds, or being fired, there is a legal term for that: extortion (18 USCA Sec. 871).
A staffer from the Department of Public Health weighed in with concern for the continuing high case rate, but failed to give us the case/death rate for minors. For 2020-2021 ( CDC numbers) there were 757 COVid-involved deaths of Americans ages 0-18 as of Saturday. That is 0.096% of the total cases (all ages). Bear in mind, that number is not a percent of the total population, it is only the percent of the infection cases.
The staffer further compares the COVID vax to measles, mumps and rubella vaccines; how disingenuous! Those are childhood diseases, the complete opposite of COVID, which is anything but a childhood disease. Once they start shoveling the manure they lose all credibility with me.
To put salt in the wound, the staffer uses St. Fauci as some sort of authority. He has zero credibility and has been flipflopping since March 2020. He has even lied to Congress about his involvement in “gain of function” development of the virus.
Now consider that the cases and death rate is higher in 2021 than in pre-vaccine 2020. With a more than 60% vax rate in the USA, at best it appears that the vax isn't the solution. At worst, it would seem that the vaxed are getting/spreading COVID.
With all the above in mind, there's no case for “mandating” the vaxing of minors. Parents: Protect your children… Just say no.
