What to do to people who refuse to submit to a Chinese Flu vaccine?

The NYT is out with a story that “Far-Right Extremists Move from ‘Stop the Steal’ to “Stop the Vaccine’ “

These groups tend to portray vaccines as a symbol of excessive government control. “If less people get vaccinated then the system will have to use more aggressive force on the rest of us to make us get the shot,” read a recent post on the Telegram social media platform, in a channel linked to members of the Proud Boys charged in storming the Capitol.

The Times derides these people as wild paranoids, but are they? Just two days ago our local rag ran a story from SFgate, a San Francisco web-based, left-wing (redundant, I know) news outlet entitled, “What happens to those who don’t get the COVID-19 Vaccine?”

The answer, according to the two “public health experts” consulted for the article, affirms the fears of the conspiracy nuts that the Times ridicules.

But what about those people who don't get vaccinated, whether due to legitimate health issues, unfounded concerns about safety or effectiveness, or maybe for political reasons?

"We know what will happen to them," said Dr. John Swartzberg, an infectious disease and vaccinology professor emeritus at UC Berkeley. "With a virus that is as contagious as this one and becoming more contagious due to variants, people who decide not to get vaccinated are likely over time to get infected," said Swartzberg. "Ultimately, the people who chose to not get vaccinated will contribute to herd immunity by the fact that they got infected."

From a societal standpoint, he said people who skip the vaccine could compromise the safety of others.

"We need to get to herd immunity to protect those people who can’t get vaccinated," he said. "They’re delaying the safety for all of us. I hear everyone saying deciding to get vaccinated is an individual choice, but the calculus in that choice is twofold — one is to vaccinate yourself and the other is protect others. I think we have a responsibility to protect our communities."

"If you can get 80% immunity, you can probably slow, if not grind to a halt, the spread of this virus," said Dr. Paul Offit, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a coinventor of the rotavirus vaccine. "If you can’t get to that 80% immunity because people aren’t getting the vaccine, then this country will have to make a decision: Do you want to mandate a vaccine?"

I’m not totally opposed to this vaccine; in fact, I’m scheduled to, reluctantly, join the guinea pigs next week, even though a woman in Kansas just died from an allergic reaction to the vaccine — heck, you can’t make an omelet without breaking kneecaps — but that’s because I want to travel this summer and I can read what’s coming. I have other fights to fight, and the is not my personal hill to die on.

But are the “far-right” wing nuts paranoid to predict a mandatory vaccination rule? Absolutely not, and the Time’s little fascists know that. We’re already seeing it across the globe, and proof of vaccination will soon be required to enter stores and restaurants, board planes, or attend school. Just yesterday Granny Killer Cuomo introduced his own “Covid Passport” app that will do just that.

Can doctors like the two quoted in the SFGate article actually persuade the government to storm homes and either compel submission or weld shut the inhabitants’ doors? Well, they managed to close down the entire world’s economy, and churches, and all public gatherings except BLM festivals, and forced people to stay isolated and inside their homes for the past year, all to save the world from a disease with a 99% survival rate. So yes, they can, and yes they will; once seized, power is never relinquished. And always expands.
