OR JUST USE A BAT VIRUS?
SOME ARE SAYING NO AND SAYING IT LOUDLY.
In Denmark, the national government proposed a new epidemic law which includes the right to conduct forced physical exams, mandate isolation, and allows police-directed physically coerced vaccination.
NINE days of protests over a new law that "would be able to define groups of people who must be vaccinated showed that people who refuse the above can be coerced through physical detainment, with police allowed to assist."
The people resisted.
The proposal was dropped.

Well done, Denmark.

With a coronavirus vaccine within sight, governments across the world are mulling over what punitive measures to bring against those who refuse to take it.
Ticketmaster and airline companies are considering barring people from entering venues and flying if they cannot prove they have taken the vaccine.
With a coronavirus vaccine within sight, governments across the world are mulling over what punitive measures to bring against those who refuse to take it.
Ticketmaster and airline companies are considering barring people from entering venues and flying if they cannot prove they have taken the vaccine.
“So while public protests may be able to prevent authorities carrying out forced vaccinations, people who refuse to take the shot may find it virtually impossible to enjoy any kind of social life, use public transport, or even find employment.”
[MY NOTE: A very dear friend who read that and contacted me about it said, "How does that scripture read? "'And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.'" Indeed, my friend. Sounds the same to many.]
When Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Melbourne radio station 3AW a COVID-19 vaccine would be "as mandatory as you can possibly make it" there was an immediate backlash from some groups.
A few hours later, talking on Sydney radio station 2GB, Mr Morrison made a sharp departure from his earlier comments, ruling out a compulsory vaccine.
"It's not going to be compulsory to have the vaccine," he said.
Enforcing mandatory vaccination is a complicated proposition intersecting public health, rights to bodily autonomy and medical
ethics.
THE ROAR OF VOICES SAYING, "HELL NO, YOU WILL NOT DO THAT!" SEEMS EFFECTIVE WHEN THE PEOPLE DON'T GIVE UP.
Dr. Paula O'Brien, Director of the Health Law and Ethics Network at Melbourne Law School, makes an important distinction between executive powers that are enforceable on an individual basis and a population-wide mandate as initially suggested by Mr Morrison.
The powers are narrow and are designed to account for specific situations. As each direction would currently have to be justified and issued on an individual basis, it would be logistically fraught.
"I don't think they would ever be used for a situation like the COVID vaccine where the aim would be to get hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people vaccinated," she said.
Dr. O'Brien added that such executive powers often carried limitations and could be challenged in court.
"They are generally subject to some form of review, couched in terms of being powers of last resort and not directly enforceable; you can't be held down," she said.
Victoria, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory could face added complications when legislating for population-wide vaccination, as each jurisdiction has a charter of human rights which may be incompatible with a mandatory program.
The director of the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law, Kevin Bell, told Fact Check there were potential human rights issues surrounding such a vaccination program.
"There is no question that general compulsory vaccination laws limit human rights in fundamental ways," he said in an email.Now back to the question of whether the government — state or federal — can confine persons against their will in order to protect public health.

The short answer is yes, BUT the Constitution requires procedural due process. That means a trial for every person confined.
EVERY SINGLE ONE!
Thus, a government-ordered quarantine of all persons in a city block or a postal ZIP Code or a telephone area code would be an egregious violation of due process, both substantive and procedural.
Substantively, no government in America has the lawful power to curtail natural rights by decree.
[ARE YOU GETTING THIS, WHITMER, CUOMO, ET AL? YOU DON'T HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO MAKE LAW. THAT IS A POWER OF THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF U.S. AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. GOVERNORS ARE IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.]
Procedurally, notwithstanding the fear of disease contagion, the states and feds may only quarantine those who are actively contagious and will infect others imminently.

And it must present evidence of both at a trial at which it bears the burden of proof.
While the non-aggression principle permits offensive aggression in self-defense when an attack is imminent and certain, that is a high standard for the government to meet, as it should be.

"Freedom, even the freedom of a madman or a dangerously sick and contagious person, is the default position.
Infringing upon it without procedural due process is always constitutionally impermissible.
The U.S. Constitution was not written for the government to right every wrong.
Infringing upon it without procedural due process is always constitutionally impermissible.
The U.S. Constitution was not written for the government to right every wrong.
We know that government itself causes most wrongs — the theft of property by taxation, the impairment of economic liberty by regulation, the slaughter of innocents by war, the infringement of expressive liberties by majority vote.
Yet, the Constitution still mandates an exacting due process for all whom the government would restrain.
That means a trial before any quarantine, no matter the public danger, and a fair trial, not one animated by mass hysteria or government-generated fear."
KNOW YOUR CONSTITUTION, AMERICA!
WE STILL HAVE GUARANTEED RIGHTS!
In order to understand how you would be able to defy any initiatives that would attempt to force you or any of your family members to take any vaccines, or ingest or have anything injected into your body for that matter, it is important to grasp one of the most basic principles underlying life on Earth: each of us as individuals are free and sovereign beings.

The only way someone can have any power over us is by our consent. Mostly without knowing it, we have consented to the entire political and legal structure that we believe has power over us.
Why COVID-19 Vaccine Policies Could Be Deadly for Older People, and the Age Discrimination Has Already Started.
Marketwatch reported:
“‘When I read about the proposed ‘Fair Priority Model’ for allocating COVID-19 vaccines in Science magazine recently — from University of Pennsylvania medical ethicist Ezekiel Emanuel and 18 others — I realized that ageist policies might just kill older people like me.’”
Central to their model of deciding who would have access to a vaccine is the goal of reducing what they call “premature deaths.” In case you’re thinking that a premature death is one that occurs before someone is ready to die, you’re missing the point of the Fair Priority model.
In sum, this model assumes that lives of young people are worth more than those of older people because a young person has more years to live and those years are going to be productive."
BEING ONE OF THOSE "OLDER PEOPLE", that concerns me, but not as much as reading that the MILITARY will get the vaccine first.
IF THAT VACCINE HAPPENS TO KILL PEOPLE, WE'D BE DEFENSELESS WITHOUT OUR TROOPS, WOULDN'T WE?
WHY should our military be guinea pigs AGAIN as they were in those early radiation tests?
GIVE THE VACCINE TO CONGRESS AND MAKE IT TELEVISED AND DOCUMENTABLE THAT THE PFIZER VACCINE IS WHAT THEY GOT...THEN WAIT AND WATCH FOR 6 WEEKS.
The hunt for 'Patient Zero'
There are mysteries that may never be solved, says Professor Edward Holmes, a leading virologist at the University of Sydney, and recently named NSW Scientist of the Year, who was among the first in the world to map the genome of SARS-CoV-2.
"It sounds good in the movies to go back and find the person who was first exposed to the bat, but the chance of ever finding that in reality is almost zero," he says.
There are also suspicions that the roots of the virus could have emerged even earlier.
On September 18, Wuhan's Tianhe Airport Customs received a report that an inbound passenger "was unwell, respiratory distress and unstable vital signs". An early case of COVID-19? Or just a bad cold and a coincidence?
Other reports point to Spanish sewage samples from March 2019 that found fragments of COVID-19 during retrospective tests.
And just this week reports of COVID cases in Italy as early as September have been suggested.
Finding that animal or species that transferred COVID-19 to humans is of critical importance, Holmes believes, and the World Health Organisation has released a plan to search for the zoonotic origins of the virus.
Right now, the COVID-19 genome is around 96 per cent compatible with coronaviruses that have known animal hosts. But that's just not close enough. It equates to around 30 years of missing evolution.
"The key thing to do is fill in that gap," says Holmes. "Thirty-or-so years of missing 'stuff'."The WHO investigators — alongside the work Chinese experts are already doing — will focus on hunting for an animal with a coronavirus that is a 99 per cent match.

99% IS NOT 100%.
99% IS MERELY CLOSER THAN HE CURRENT 96%.
"We must find out where it happened and then cut that route off. If it's the wildlife trade, we need to clamp down on that. If it's farming, we need to commit to cut down on those things. We need to find out so we can plug the holes."
EVEN IF THE 'HOLE' IS A COMMUNIST CHINA LAB...OR ONE UNDER FAUCI's CONTROL HERE.
RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE!
State and federal governments can't force people to receive a new coronavirus vaccine against their will, experts said, but lawmakers may be able to create a mandate that imposes consequences for not being vaccinated.
Not everyone can be vaccinated safely.
Sylvia Law, a law professor at New York University, told Newsweek that if states impose a mandate, they should include a health exception for those who could be put at risk.
All 50 states already grant exemptions for medical reasons, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, and 45 have religious exemptions.
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS A MEDIA LIE, THO' THEY DID SAY "MAY":
"While an effective vaccine may protect those who get inoculated, polls are revealing that about one third of the population say they don't want to become vaccinated. If that's true, it may mean that we will fall short of reaching "herd immunity" and halting the virus."
America only needs about 60-66% of the population to attain herd immunity.
"(I)n the United States today, where even mask mandates are controversial, it is unlikely that many states will enact a compulsory vaccination policy for everyone," Baruch College law professor Debbie Kaminer wrote recently in The Conversation, a nonprofit academic website. "Additionally, there is a risk that heavy-handed public health tactics can backfire and escalate tensions, increase mistrust of government and unintentionally increase the influence of the anti-vaccination movement."
They point out that Congress has broad powers to regulate interstate commerce, but that "(a) federal vaccine mandate would likely be found unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause because it would regulate activity that is not solely economic."
They should also point out that, even today, many who are born in a state never leave it, so there is NO INTERSTATE to consider for those people.
THEY ARE GUARANTEED THE RIGHT TO FREELY TRAVEL INSIDE THE STATE THEY LIVE IN.

CDC Report: Officials Knew Coronavirus Test Was Flawed But Released It Anyway.
NPR reported:
“One HHS official told NPR this shouldn’t have been a tough call. ‘The QC records showed that the test had a problem,’ the official said. ‘Lindstrom signed off on a quality control that was clearly flawed. He should not have released that kit.’”
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE VACCINE IS FLAWED?
NO HEADS ROLLED AT CDC FOR ALL THEIR MISERABLE FAILURES, FOR THEIR CONTRIVED PAST "SCARE-THE-PUBLIC" VIRUSES LIKE "ZIKA, ZIKA!", FOR THEIR INABILITY TO ACTUALLY DIAGNOSE COVID-19 TO THE POINT THAT THEY TELL DOCTORS TO "USE YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT" WHEN FILLING OUT DEATH CERTIFICATES, NO LAB TEST OR AUTOPSY NECESSARY.
THE TEA ROOM HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY LOSS DUE TO THIS HATEFUL VIRUS (LOSS OF A DEAR FRIEND, A FAMILY MEMBER, MY OWN DETERIORATING HEALTH, HAVING PERSONALLY NOW HAD CV-19 TWICE, ETC) AND SO I THOUGHT TO END THIS BLOG WITH SOME POSSIBLY HELPFUL WORDS FROM MAYO CLINIC ABOUT GRIEF AND GRIEVING.
NO WORDS CAN TRULY LESSEN THE SUDDEN IMPACT OF LOSS, BUT IF JUST ONE IS HELPED, IT'S WORTH AN EFFORT.
Understanding grief caused by the coronavirus pandemic
"Efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have affected people's jobs, where people work, the way kids go to school and play, and the ability to gather in person with family and friends. These measures have also changed how people shop, worship, exercise, eat, seek entertainment and celebrate holidays and special events.

These measures have also changed how people shop, worship, exercise, eat, seek entertainment and celebrate holidays and special events.
As a result, the pandemic has had a major psychological impact, causing people to lose a sense of safety, predictability, control, freedom and security.
Why is the loss of your routine so upsetting?
Why is the loss of your routine so upsetting?
You might not realize it, but you don't only feel attachments to other people. You also probably feel powerful attachments to your work and certain places and things. The experience of losing these attachments, however, isn't as well-defined as some losses. And unexpected endings can cause strong emotions. This can make it hard to deal with what's happened and [how to] move forward.
You might also find that changes brought on by the pandemic are affecting your sense of self. For instance, if your identity is closely tied to your job, losing your job could trigger an identity crisis.

Signs and symptoms of grief
Grief might cause you to feel numb or empty, angry, or unable to feel joy or sadness. You might also have physical symptoms, such as trouble sleeping or eating, excess fatigue, muscle weakness, or shakiness. You might have nightmares or socially withdraw.
Keep in mind, however, that grief can also have some positive effects. For example, you might feel grateful for brave and caring people in your community. You might have an increased appreciation for your relationships and have a desire to help others who are experiencing similar losses.
Coping with coronavirus grief
As awful as it might feel, grief serves an important purpose. Grief helps you recognize that you've experienced a loss and that you're going to need to adapt.
To deal with your grief:
Pay attention to your feelings. Name what you've lost due to the pandemic. It might help to write this down in a journal. Allow yourself to feel sadness or cry.

Think about your strengths and coping skills. How can they help you move forward? Consider other tough transitions you've been through, such as a previous job change or divorce. What did you do that helped you recover?
Stay connected.
Don't let social distancing prevent you from getting the support you need. Use phone calls, text messages, video chats and social media to stay in touch with family and friends who are positive and supportive. Reach out to those in similar situations. Pets also can provide emotional support.
Create an adapted routine.
This can help preserve a sense of order and purpose, despite how much things may have changed. In addition to work or online learning, include activities that might help you cope, such as exercise, worship or hobbies. Keep a regular sleep schedule and try to maintain a healthy diet.
Limit your news diet.
Spending too much time reading or listening to news about the COVID-19 pandemic can cause you to focus heavily on what you've lost, as well as increase anxiety.
Remember the journey.
If you've lost your job, you don't have to let the way it ended define the whole experience. Consider some of your good memories and the big picture.
Take comfort in creativity.
Cooking, gardening, making art or being creative in other ways might help you feel better.
[I found that 'smashing' things brings me incredible relief. Cans for recycling, clods of dirt in the resting garden, empty plastic bottles, empty boxes...smash and smile, I call it. Anyone have an old punching bag lying about? I'll pay shipping.]
Focus on the present and the things you can control.

As you adjust, your feelings of grief are likely to lessen.

Not only does it help give you confidence that you can assert your will in such a circumstance, it can broaden your understanding of your inalienable sovereignty.
I believe if each of us is able to strengthen our sense of personal sovereignty and see that we are all co-creators of our collective experience, we will be much closer to bringing the world of our dreams into reality."
