bookmark_borderA sexual assault survivor’s wise words on vaccine mandates
“Our patience is wearing thin.”
Nearly four years after Joe Biden said these words, they still send a chill down my spine. I recently came across a Substack post from a writer called Holly MathNerd, which does a great job of articulating what was so disturbing about Biden’s speech:
“That speech triggered my PTSD from sexual assault. I sat there, slack-jawed and horrified, listening as the President of the United States — a male authority figure — declared that if I wanted to keep my job, I had to enter a room, remove part of my clothing, and have my body penetrated with a medical instrument of his choosing. My will and my consent were irrelevant.
He was making the rules. My body, his choice.”
You can read the rest here.
Although I myself am not a survivor of sexual assault, these words resonate with me. There is something about being told that you are required to have your body penetrated – and that you don’t have the right to opt out or decline – that is profoundly, enormously, and fundamentally wrong. Sickening. Horrifying. The right to control your own body is the most fundamental right that there is, but this right did not matter at all to Joe Biden and his supporters. In their eyes, my will and my consent were, indeed, irrelevant. For reasons that I will never be able to fully comprehend, Biden and his administration believed that when it comes to my body, what happens should be their choice. There are no words that can adequately explain how completely and utterly messed up that is. But Holly MathNerd’s explanation comes pretty close.
bookmark_borderExcellent post re: religious exemptions from Rep. Clay Higgins
Thank you, Rep. Higgins, for stating this truth so perfectly.
No person should ever need to provide a reason or justification for refraining from receiving a medical procedure.
Refraining from receiving a medical procedure is a fundamental right. Period. Full stop. End of story.

Exactly! It’s the double standards and logical inconsistency that are so infuriating. It makes no sense for people to be outraged when government workers lose their jobs, but not when private sector workers lose their jobs. This is especially true when the private sector workers lost their jobs due to regulations that government workers created and implemented.
There are some great comments on the post which deserve to be quoted as well:
“Remember when Biden said people fired for not taking the vaccine could find another job? Well I’m sure the bureaucrats can find another job.”
“The fact that people I once called friends are boo-hooing about federal workers who held jobs which never should’ve existed and not the millions of people who lost jobs, homes, or businesses due to the actions of the regulatory agencies those workers worked for…sickens me.”

100%. And just in case it needs to be repeated, declining a medical procedure does not ever make someone a bad person. Period. Full stop. No exceptions.
bookmark_borderHypocrisy at its finest…
bookmark_borderA reminder…
Always something worth pointing out:

The claim that “no one was forced to take it” is a particularly egregious lie.
bookmark_borderTrump signs executive order withholding funds from schools that require covid vaccine
On February 15, President Trump signed what is perhaps his most awesome executive order yet. It withholds federal funds from schools that force their students to receive the covid vaccine.
According to the text of the order on the White House website:
“It is the policy of my Administration that discretionary Federal funds should not be used to directly or indirectly support or subsidize an educational service agency, State educational agency, local educational agency, elementary school, secondary school, or institution of higher education that requires students to have received a COVID-19 vaccination to attend any in-person education program.”
Trump’s order correctly points out that people should be “empowered with accurate data” and “left free to make their own decisions accordingly,” and that “threatening to shut them out of an education is an intolerable infringement on personal freedom.”
This really shouldn’t be a revolutionary concept. The right to make medical decisions about one’s body is the most fundamental right that there is. And vaccine mandates violate this right. It’s completely unacceptable for any school, employer, or organization to require a medical procedure.
With this executive order, Trump has decided that the federal government will step in and defend people’s rights from schools that would violate them. This is exactly what the federal government should be doing. In fact, it’s what the federal government should have been doing all along.
Despicably, the Biden administration attempted to use the power of OSHA – the Occupational Safety and Health Administration – to force all companies with 100 or more employees to implement vaccine mandates, thereby violating the rights of their employees. This is the literal opposite of what the government should have done. The government should have banned companies from violating the rights of their employees, not required it. Now, under the Trump administration, the government is moving in the direction of what it should have been doing all along. It is punishing institutions that violate people’s rights, thereby providing a deterrent from doing so.
I can’t think of a more important or worthy use of the power of the federal government, than to enforce people’s rights to bodily autonomy. So thank you, President Trump, for standing up for the fundamental right to decline medical intervention.
bookmark_border“Soooo STUPID”
Defiant L’s captured this horrible tweet back from the times when the federal government was attempting to force all people to undergo a medical procedure:

Even now, four years later, this tweet is infuriating.
Yes, protesting against a policy that forces people to undergo a medical procedure against their will is “soooo STUPID.” God forbid that people, you know, stand up for their fundamental rights. God forbid that people fight back against policies that are morally wrong. Can’t have that. Obviously, when something violates people’s rights and is blatantly immoral, people should just accept it and not make any attempt to fight back against it in any way. Obviously, forcing people to undergo a medical procedure against their will is perfectly fine.
Not.
The fact that somebody could think this way is incomprehensible to me. It is admirable and courageous that airline workers put their jobs on the line to stand up for their right to bodily autonomy. To look at this situation and call the airline workers’ actions “soooo STUPID” is despicable, idiotic, and insulting. Any person who thinks this way is truly stupid.
