Biden says troops should be dishonorably discharged if they disobey order to get Covid vaccine

The White House said Tuesday it ‘strongly opposes’ a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that prohibits the Pentagon from punishing or dishonorably discharging any service member who refuses a vaccine. 

‘The Administration strongly opposes section 716, which would detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination,’ the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement on the yearly bill that funds the Pentagon. 

‘To enable a uniformed force to fight with discipline, commanders must have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures.’ 

The Pentagon ordered all service members to get vaccinated last month and didn’t rule out court martialing those who don’t. 

More than 800,000 service members out of around 1.4 million still needed to get their shots at the time of the mandate, according to Pentagon data. 

But during the budget bill’s markup under the House Armed Services Committee, an amendment, now section 716, proposed by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., made its way into the bill that prohibited ‘any discharge but honorable’ for vaccine refusal. 

‘I am appalled that the Biden Administration is trying to remove my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that prevents anything but an honorable discharge for service members who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine,’ Green said in a statement to DailyMail.com. ‘This was a bipartisan amendment — every Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee agreed to it.’ 

Section 716 notes ‘many Americans have reservations about taking a vaccine that has only been available for less than a year.’ 

‘No American who raises their hand to serve our Nation should be punished for making a highly personal medical decision,’ Green said earlier this month.

Republicans have balked at vaccine mandates across the board. 

‘Our readiness, our ability to take on the enemy is being undermined by forcing young people, people who are perfectly healthy, perfectly able to fend off Covid, and are required to have the vaccine,’ Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., told DailyMail.com in an interview.  

The White House also took issue with section 720, which exempts those who previously had a coronavirus infection from needing to take the shot. The bill states that service members can be exempted for ‘administrative, medical, or religious  reasons, including on the basis of possessing an antibody test result demonstrating previous COVID–19 infection.’

WUHAN SCIENTISTS PLANNED TO RELEASE “CHIMERIC COVID SPIKE PROTEINS” INTO WILD BATS USING “SKIN-PENETRATING NANOPARTICLES”

18 months before the pandemic, scientists in Wuhan, China submitted a proposal to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into the wild in an effort to inoculate them against diseases that could have otherwise jumped to humans, according to The Telegraph, citing leaked grant proposals from 2018.

New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.

They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.

The bid was submitted by zoologist Peter Daszak of US-based EcoHealth Alliance, who was hoping to use genetic engineering to cobble “human-specific cleavage sites” onto bat Covid ‘which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells’ – a method which would coincidentally answer a longstanding question among the scientific community as to how SARS-CoV-2 evolved to become so infectious to humans.

Daszak’s proposal also included plans to commingle high-risk natural coronaviruses strains with more infectious, yet less deadly versions. His ‘bat team’ of researchers included Dr. Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the US Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center.

Academia Is Establishing A Permanent Surveillance Bureaucracy That Will Soon Govern The Rest Of The Country

Having now received a tsunami of messages from people across the US (and a few internationally) about the surveillance regimes being permanently installed at their educational institutions — in contravention of earlier assurances that the current academic year would mark a long-awaited “return to normalcy,” thanks to the onset of mass vaccination — there are a few conclusions to draw.

First: unless and until COVID “cases” are abandoned as a metric by which policy action is presumptively dictated, these institutions are destined to continue flailing from irrational measure to irrational measure for the foreseeable future. Just turn your gaze over to one of America’s most hallowed pedagogical grounds: As of September 17, Columbia University has newly forbidden students from hosting guests, visiting residence halls other than their own, and gathering with more than ten people. The stated rationale for these restrictions? Administrators have extrapolated from the “contact tracing” data they’ve compulsorily seized that a recent increase in viral transmission is attributable to “students socializing unmasked at gatherings in residence halls and at off-campus apartments, bars, and restaurants.” (Socializing at apartments, bars, and restaurants in the middle of Manhattan — gee, I can’t imagine anything more heinous.)

Damning New Report Reveals What Wuhan Scientists, British Zoologist Were Up To In Months Before Pandemic

Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), including British zoologist Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, were reportedly planning to release “enhanced airborne coronaviruses into Chinese bat populations” to inoculate them in the months before the pandemic. The scientists also sought funding from the U.S. to “create chimeric viruses,” which are “genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily.”

The Telegraph reported that the plans from the Chinese scientists were revealed in leaked grant proposals dating back to 2018, which a former U.S. official confirmed as being authentic, the outlet claimed.

“New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing ‘novel chimeric spike proteins’ of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China,” The Telegraph reported. “Papers, confirmed as genuine by a former member of the Trump administration, show they were hoping to introduce ‘human-specific cleavage sites’ to bat coronaviruses which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells.”

HHS Whistleblower Reveals Federal Gov’t Hiding Vaccine Side Effects Data

A whistleblower from the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) has come forward to Project Veritas to expose how the federal government is covering up reports of adverse side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Jodi O’Malley, a registered nurse and HHS insider secretly recorded conversations with her colleagues at HHS corroborating her concerns with the COVID-19 vaccine.

In the following conversation, O’Malley was discussing with Dr. Maria Gonzales, an ER doctor, how the federal government won’t report a patient suffering from heart inflammation after taking the injection.

Covid Lockdowns Signal the Rise of Public Policy by Ransom

Public commentator Amanda Marcotte is “incandescent with rage”—her words—with those who refuse to be vaccinated against covid-19.1 She wants to get back to her spin class, and the unvaccinated are ruining it for her. Lockdowns and other restrictions on gymnasiums have either closed them or required masking during training sessions, and the result is that Marcotte is unable to enjoy her spin class at the gym, so she has had to cancel and exercise at home. In attributing where the blame for this predicament lies, she is unequivocal: “[B]y refusing to do the right thing, the unvaccinated are stripping freedom and choice from every other American who got vaccinated. We stand by helplessly watching restrictions pile back on and our freedoms dissipate, all to protect those who won’t protect themselves.”

This statement is indicative of a relatively new phenomenon in public commentary, which is a general support for the rise of what I call “public policy by ransom.” Public policy by ransom occurs when a government imposes a behavioral requirement on individuals and enforces this by punishing the general public in aggregate until a stipulated level of compliance is attained. The method relies on members of the public and public commentators—like Marcotte—who will attribute blame for these negative consequences to recalcitrant citizens who fail to adopt the preferred behaviors of the governing class. In the weltanschauung that underpins this type of governance, government reactions to public behaviors are “metaphysically given” and are treated as a mere epiphenomenon of the actions of individual members of the public who dare to behave in ways disliked by public authorities.

The COVID vaccination program is the largest medical experiment in human history

Any critique of the COVID-19 vaccines has to point out that they were inadequately tested before being released.  The FDA can’t dispute this claim but will immediately add that the vaccines are nonetheless safe.  As famed sportscaster Warner Wolf would say: “Let’s go to the videotape.”  Here are some of the standard steps the FDA skipped before issuing its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the vaccines.  Knowing this, you decide how valid is the FDA’s assurance of the safety of COVID vaccines.

It was known by the FDA and others that no previous coronavirus vaccines ever passed animal trials.  The test animals got seriously ill or died.  These experimental vaccines were shown to make worse the symptoms of the disease they were supposed to suppress.  This is a sign of an Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE), which means the antibodies from the vaccine might actually help the virus enter and damage living cells.  This should have been a red flag for the FDA when the COVID-19 vaccines came before it for review.  Furthermore, Pfizer and the other vaccine manufacturers didn’t complete animal testing on their novel COVID-19 vaccines.

Initially, Pfizer was running a 44,000-person clinical trial to see if its COVID-19 vaccine had adverse long-term effects.  Against the strong recommendation of the FDA and in midstream of the test, Pfizer offered its vaccine to members of the placebo control group.  Many took it, negating the validity of the trial.  This means that Pfizer didn’t complete any long-term testing to establish the safety of its vaccine.  And the FDA went along with that and still issued an Emergency Use Authorization allowing the vaccines to be released.  One can only speculate why. 

Because there was inadequate testing, it was assumed that the vaccine would stay in the shoulder, where the injection was made.  But this did not turn out to be the case, according to a Japanese study.  This means that potentially toxic spike proteins are throughout the body.  The Japanese study further found the vaccine highly distributed in the ovaries, potentially causing infertility.

There are now indications from the field that there may be a number of other problems associated with the vaccines that would have been detected by long-term testing.  These include, but are not limited to, blood clots, complications with fertility, and signs of ADE.  One can argue if the spike proteins are toxic or not, and whether or not ADE and fertility are legitimate concerns.  Time will tell.  Hopefully, the COVID vaccines will prove to be as safe as their manufacturers claim.

Health Authorities Claim “Performers” (Rich & Famous) Are Exempt From Mask Rules

The LA County Department of Public Health responded to criticism of the maskless Emmys by claiming the rules didn’t apply because it was a television production event – despite the fact that workers were still made to wear masks.

There was uproar on Sunday as celebrities packed themselves into the Event Deck at LA Live without a mask amongst them as they kissed and hugged all night long.

Irate respondents on Twitter asked why celebrities were exempt from the rules yet their 4-year-old kids had to wear masks in class.

Under Los Angeles County’s Department of Health guidelines, everyone aged two years and older must wear a face covering in “all indoor public settings, venues, gatherings, and public and private businesses.”

However, after it was asserted that the rules don’t appear to apply to the rich and famous, the department was forced to respond.

“LA County Department of Public Health tells me that the mask-less Emmys were not in violation of the county’s mask mandate because “exceptions are made for film, television, and music productions” since “additional safety modifications” are made for such events,” tweeted CNN’s Oliver Darcy.

So apparently, so long as you’re making a television production, COVID-19 recognizes that fact and doesn’t show up for the night, much like it disappears as soon as people sit down to eat at a restaurant, but not while they walk to the table.

Health authorities went further, insisting that the event organizers “exceeded the baseline requirements for television and film productions,” before asserting that the full vaccination of all those present was “one of the most powerful ways to achieve a safe environment” (despite the fully vaccinated being able to pass on the virus).

“The Emmy Award Show is a television production and persons appearing on the show are considered performers,” they added.

So apparently, if you’re a “performer,” or in other words rich and famous, you don’t have to wear a mask.

But if you’re merely a lowly worker drone, you still have to wear a mask, as dozens of staffers were seen doing at the event.
