Medical freedom has become a force to reckon with, so much so that even Trump’s popularity won’t get many conservatives to hop aboard the vaccine bandwagon.
Speaking at a rally in Cullman, Alabama, on Saturday night, President Trump was briefly booed when he encouraged those listening to his speech to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good,” Trump said, provoking pushback from his supporters.
“That’s OK, that’s all right,” he added. “But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that.”
The push for all Americans to get vaccinated may accelerate now that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved the Pfizer shot.
“Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first COVID-19 vaccine,” the agency wrote in a statement. “The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty (koe-mir’-na-tee), for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.
“The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization (EUA), including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals.”
President Trump helped get the vaccine out to the public with Operation Warp Speed, a partnership with private companies that put money toward the mass production of vaccines on a fast basis that anticipated some of the products released onto the market would not prove safe or effective.
The mainstream media has made significant efforts to convince Americans that they must get vaccinated, publishing a stream COVID-19 tragedies that always end with the infirm or dying regretting not having received the vaccine.
What the mainstream media does not report on, however, is the evidence of COVID vaccine-related injuries and deaths.
In June, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) held a press conference in which many, including former Green Bay Packer offensive lineman Ken Ruettgers and his wife, Cheryl, discussed adverse reactions to the vaccine.
As The New American previously reported:
“On January 14th I received the Moderna vaccine. The next morning I woke up with severely swollen lymph nodes in my neck,” Ruettgers said. “Three days later I woke up in the middle of the night with stroke-like symptoms.… My face and scalp were tingling, numb and burning with pain and my left arm and legs were also weak and numb.”
… Participants of the press conference described shooting pains, partial paralysis, and general numbness from the vaccines.
… Stephanie de Garay’s 12-year-old daughter, Maddie, participated in clinical trials for the Pfizer vaccine offering last year and has struggled with health problems ever since.
“For the past five months, Maddie has been to the ER nine times … has been hospitalized three times, for a total of two months in the hospital. She was totally fine before this, she did the right thing trying to help everybody else and they’re not helping her,” said de Garay.
Throughout the world, vaccination is becoming a required status to engage in society. In some countries, proof of COVID-19 vaccination status is a requisite to enter most public places. In Australia, 24,000 children will be vaccinated without their parents’ consent at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Australia is requiring that they get the shot to enter school.
Brad Hazzard, the minister for health and medical research in New South Wales, Australia, stated that parents will not be allowed inside the arena while the shots are taking place. Directing his remarks toward children, he said:
Make sure [your parents] stay outside the arena because we don’t want too many people obviously milling around inside the arena. Make some arrangements for — after you’ve got your access to that golden opportunity of the vaccination — to wait outside for you.
Americans are pushing back against the overreach and raising awareness about the dangers that forced vaccinations pose to a free people. The medical freedom movement that opposes sacrificing individual liberties in the name of “the public good” is now sufficiently strong as to voice disagreement with the most popular Republican in decades.
