The premise of Elayne Clift’s call to treat unvaccinated people like lepers in Vermont hospitals is built on a house of dishonest and ignorant assertions. For one thing, it is simply illogical: many unvaccinated are now naturally immune.
If vaccines work, vaccinated people have no more reason to fear unvaccinated people than heterosexuals needed to fear AIDS from infected gays in the 1980s. If vaccines don’t work, then vaccinated people are as equally able as the unvaccinated to spread the disease.
There was never any interest in flattening any COVID-19 infection curves — flattening the Constitution, and human contentment, are the obvious intentions here. That is the real virus.
Since the science is now very clear that vaccinated people can still contract and spread this disease, it is bizarre to watch the discrimination against the unvaccinated based solely on fear and prejudice.
For the government to restrict any fundamental right, it has the burden of proving a compelling governmental interest, accomplished by the least restrictive means. Rick Hubbard just ignores that existing law entirely.
Partisan censorship aside, the treatment of Vicki Strong is a disgrace to the Green Mountain State by those sworn to defend its Constitution, and that of the nation.
Today’s leftist extremism seeks to morph established religious freedoms such that “separation of church and state” means not a government tolerance, but elimination, of all religions (particularly Christianity) from all public spaces.
There is the potential for Education Technology (Ed Tech) to literally cause children to become addicted to the media developed to teach them. This is called “gamification.”
The surreal chaos that descended on Vermont with COVID-19 has shifted from the bizarre to the comedic: Science is being systematically perverted in order to systematically pervert basic American liberties.
Regardless of whether human-induced climate change is increasing drought, the methodic withdrawal of ever more water from precious aquifers and rivers for agriculture threatens an abrupt disruption of great swaths of American food production.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez derides cows as the enemies of the globe and the chief culprits of methane burps. Yet, ambulatory bovine fertilizing cows are the best possible producers of fertilizer to replace Moroccan and Chinese rock phosphate.
Conservatives are not the exploiters of race, gender and other divisions that the Democrats are. That much is as plain as the hypocritical nose on Peter Welch’s old white face. And equally so for calls to vote based on biological sex.
