We must have a free choice of what is done to our own bodies and
these choices should be respected by our fellow human beings.
When I did my last blog post about covid vaccine mandates, I didn't know that the mandates were starting to happen here in the USA. Now that I've realized this I feel sickened by it and very concerned. It is shocking that this is happening. It is horribly wrong for any of us to be forced to put anything into our bodies that we do not feel safe or comfortable with. Our feelings should matter above all else. People who are scared of the possible side effects of the vaccine can be traumatized by it being forced into them! There should be compassion for people's feels and understanding for people's varied beliefs and respect for people's choices connected to what happens to their own bodies.
Many people believe they are safer with the vaccines. And MANY people feel far safer without the vaccines and want to use safe and natural plant based medicines. And we ALL have an obligation to respect each other's choices and be considerate of each other's feelings of safety.
Sadly, most of the current USA government bans on mandated/forced vaccination only apply to government places and allow all private places to force people to be vaccinated. New Hampshire's new HB 220 bill states that the NH government will not mandate vaccines ONLY in most public places and it allows the vaccine mandate to happen through all medical facilities, all physicians, all schools, all day care centers, all nursing homes, all prisons and the commissioner. In the current law all of these places can force the vaccine into people's bodies against their will. It is good that our governments realize how wrong it is to force people to be vaccinated. However, we need them to also stop other people from forcing us to be vaccinated, because they are the only ones who can do so.
All it would take to eventually get every human being vaccinated is for schools and hospitals to be allowed to do it. This would be absolutely devastating if this vaccine ends up having any sort of ill effects including the brain and feeling and spirituality numbing/damaging types of effects that many of the other pharmaceuticals, which have been heavily pushed upon humanity, have had since the early 1900s.
But there is hope; thus far, (according to reports I read) there are a few states where the governments are passing laws to also prevent private businesses and organizations, including schools and hospitals, from forcing people to be vaccinated.
Montana's new law states that BOTH government places AND private businesses who ask for proof of being vaccinated are discriminating against people who choose to not be vaccinated and they offer resources for the reporting of such unlawful discrimination. This is the best one I found. I'm proud of Montana. I wish I lived there right now.
The Texas government has completely banned vaccine passports from being used in their state and has passed laws that can cause private businesses to lose their licenses if they require proof of vaccines. However, some college students took their university to court and the court ruled in favor of the school forcing the students to be vaccinated. The court related the covid vaccine to the polio vaccine that was imposed in the early 1900s. This is sad because, according the court the polio vaccine being forced upon people set a president to follow. But it was wrong to force vaccines into people back then too and two wrongs don't make a right. They never did and never will.
Arkansas legislators are in the process of trying to ban all employers from requiring employees to disclose vaccine status. I do not know if they are allowing schools and hospitals to vaccinate people against their will, though.
Another ray of hope, according to another news article I found, is in the USA Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ruling that businesses are responsible for adverse reactions to the covid vaccines, if they require their employees to be vaccinated, and that they must record the adverse effects in their safety reports. This will prevent businesses from openly requiring the vaccines, but it probably will not stop many from inconspicuously discriminating or pressuring people to be vaccinated.
Hopefully there will be more rays of hope VERY soon. We must have laws quickly passed that prevent ALL people and organizations (both government and private) from forcing the vaccines (or anything else) into our bodies against our will. Many people do not feel safe or comfortable with the vaccines and should not be traumatized through being given them by force. People should NEVER be forced to consume anything, especially not man made chemicals/pharmaceuticals/vaccines, against their will, because most have already been proven to have harmful side effects. And many others (like the covid vaccines) may have harmful side effects that are not known by anyone and may never be known by anyone. This is scientific fact.
I beg ALL local, state, federal and global governments to please pass laws that STOP EVERY PERSON, BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE GOVERNEMNT, FROM FORCING VACINATIONS UPON PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT THEM AND WHO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE WITH THEM. You are the only ones who can stop it from happening in other places too. Please do. Please don't let other people force this vaccine upon us.
I understand that this covid pandemic has been difficult for officials to deal with and that how to deal with it is something that has been being learned as the situation progressed. But a LOT of time has passed and a lot has been learned and I am now looking for a more functional and professional handling of it - I am looking for consideration for EVERYONE. Sometimes I wish I were a high ranking official. I probably would not have been able to do better than most officials in the start of this mess. I'm sure I would have had to learn from making mistakes too. But at this point, if I were a high ranking official, I would stand up and do and say something like this...
"I want to do what is considerate of EVERYONE. I understand that there are many different beliefs and suspicions about covid and what it really may or may not be. I understand that many people trust the covid vaccines and feel safer with them. And I understand that many people do not trust the vaccines and do not feel safe having them. There are valid concerns for personal safety on BOTH sides of this situation. And I see only one way to handle it, that is fair to, and considerate of, EVERYONE. Regardless of what the absolute truths are about covid and the vaccines, the most important thing right now is EVERYONES concerns for safety to receive all the consideration and compassion they should have. In general some people feel safe using modern medicine - pharmaceuticals and vaccines, and (in the past several decades) quickly growing numbers of people have been (and still are) feeling safer using only things like natural plants for medicine, instead of vaccines and other pharmaceuticals. Neither of these methods should be forced upon anyone against their will. Everyone should have a free choice about what is put into their own bodies. And these choices should be respected by fellow human beings.
For those of you who believe in the vaccines, and/or are extremely fearful about catching covid; there are many things that you can choose to do to protect yourself. You can refrain from going out in public or go out as little as possible until things get better. When you do go out you can wear a high quality medical mask and distance yourself from people as much as possible. You can choose to be vaccinated if you feel that the vaccines are safe and want to have one. If you do not feel comfortable with the vaccine you can use natural plant medicines that can help prevent and cure such things. And you can improve upon your diet and become as healthy as possible, because this will aid your body's ability to fight off illness.
Those of you who have been convinced that you are not safe until everyone else is vaccinated must look at ALL OF THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS and gain more consideration for others; the covid vaccines have not been approved for safety and even if they were approved, there is still just cause for concern due to the history of MANY other pharmaceuticals that had been declared safe but were later proven not to be. And even with substances that are 100% sure to be COMPLETELY safe, people would still have the right to choose to not put them into their bodies, no matter what their reason is. What happens to, and is put into or onto, our bodies is our choice and we ALL have this same freedom. Please understand that you have absolutely no right to be imposing restrictions and hardships upon everyone else just because of your own fears or your own beliefs or your own lack of faith or your own trust in the vaccines or whatever other issues some of you have had against people who do not want to be vaccinated or masked. You have the right to make your own choices for yourselves, but you do not have the right to make choices for anyone else. Not everyone has the same beliefs and fears that you do. And many people are understandably very afraid of the possible harmful side effects of the vaccines and do not want to risk putting them into their bodies. Their fears/feelings matter too. Please be kind and considerate and respectful of their feelings and their choices and their concerns for their own safety and their rights to freely carry on with their lives.
We will do all that we can to make sure that the safest masks and safest vaccines and a variety of natural alternatives to the vaccines are available and affordable for everyone who wants them. I hope this helps to alleviate your concerns.
As for those of you who are either not afraid of catching covid and/or do not feel comfortable or safe with being vaccinated; you can help protect yourselves through natural methods, like with a healthy diet and the consumption of plants that are known to help prevent and cure viral and bacterial infections. You will not be forced to wear masks or be vaccinated. We have passed all the necessary laws to protect your right to not be vaccinated and to not have anything else put into or onto your own personal bodies, which you do not want or do not feel comfortable or safe with. This includes not only the covid vaccines, but also any other substance. Absolutely NOBODY can legally force anything into or onto your body, because our laws apply in every sphere of human activity, both inside and outside the government, including in all hospitals and schools and all other private or government businesses. (The only exception of course is the previously usual mask wearing requirements inside certain parts of things like medical facilities.) I want to assure you that it is now against the law for ANYONE to do anything to your body that you have not FREELY chosen, no matter what the circumstance is. The covid passports are now banned from being used or asked for EVERYWHERE as well. And Non-discrimation laws have been passed so that you can not legally be refused any sort of service or job based on whether or not you have been vaccinated. We will also not tolerate ongoing efforts to coerce you into being vaccinated - not through any type of deprivation or the threat of deprivation and not through shaming or belittling or guilt tripping or terrorizing or any of the other types of coercions that have been happening or could happen. These coercions are also now against the laws. Your choices must be FREE CHOICES that are not made under duress. I hope this helps to alleviate your concerns. I hope all people will now respect your choice to not be vaccinated - I hope they will be considerate of your concerns for your own safety and understand that it is not right for you to be forced into anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Please have consideration and respect for people who have intense fears of covid - if you see someone wearing a mask out in public it is most likely one of these people, so please respectfully stay distant from them unless you ask and they give you permission to move in closer - be kind and considerate and respectful of their feelings and their concerns for their safety.
For those who are genuinely and completely not at all capable of making choices for themselves, like severely disabled people and extremely young or immature children; It is my belief that some things should not be done to people who may not make that choice if they could choose. I urge parents and guardians to be very careful about what choices you make for your children and/or disabled people. Ask yourselves, if it is what they would want and if it is 100% sure to be COMPLETELY safe? Parents and guardians should not administer ANYTHING that has any chance of being unsafe, especially into children who are our precious future. We must not risk hurting them!
EVERY one of us has a right to a free choice of what happens to our own bodies and for that choice to be respected by our fellow human beings. This applies to the covid vaccines as well as all other vaccines and substances that had been mandated in the past, and all that presently exist or may be offered in the future. What happens to my body is my choice and what happens to your body is your choice and ALL of our choices must be free and not forced, because this is the only ethical and just and right and humane way.
I will do my best to honestly inform you of the truths about covid and the vaccines and also of the natural plant based alternatives to the vaccines so that your choices are an educated one as well as a free one. But ultimately you must all follow your own instincts and do what feels best for you, because we do not always know everything and the field of medicine doesn't either. You should ALL be taking responsibility for your own health. What goes into your body is your choice and I hope you choose wisely - I hope you choose only what FEELS right for you, no matter what anyone else says or prefers."
I feel that this is the only fair and functional way, to handle this situation because it has consideration for EVERYONE. I hope this sets an example that others will follow. EVERYONE is free to go where they need to go and do what they want to do with their own bodies and lives. Those who are extremely scared of covid can choose to isolate themselves - distance themselves, wear masks and take either natural plant or pharmaceutical/chemical/vaccine types of medications...etc. And those who are not as scared of covid, or who feel unsafe with being vaccinated are not being restricted, deprived or degraded or forced to do anything that they do not feel comfortable or safe with. Nothing is being forced upon anyone. Its a win/win situation that has respect for EVERYONE'S freedoms and feelings and choices. But, sadly, my ideal of what should happen has not been happening and far too much of the opposite has been happening. Masses of people have been being forced into being vaccinated through being shamed and belittled and guilt tripped and deprived or through the threat of deprivation of employment, education, social gatherings, freedoms...etc. And this horrid situation should be immediately stopped.
WE SHOULD ALL HAVE FREE CHOICES ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO OUR OWN BODIES. AND A TRULY FREE CHOICE HAS NO NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES.
There should be compassion and consideration for people who do not feel comfortable or safe with being vaccinated. Please help bring more kindness and consideration for EVERYONE, into this vaccine mandate debate, which would not even exist if these things were present.
Even in genuinely extremely dangerous situations people should be free to make their own choices, especially with things that involve their own bodies and their own lives and the intimate comforting of their own loved ones who are suffering...etc. Risking getting ill should always be a personal choice. Some people let their faith in a Higher Power and/or thier belief in "fate" carry them through tough times like this.
I hope that VERY soon; our global, federal and state laws will protect EVERYONES rights to choose what is put into their own bodies. I beg all governments, around the globe, to quickly take ALL the needed steps to pass laws, which protect and/or regain EVERY citizen's rights to make our own choices about what happens to our own bodies, because no human being's body should EVER be forcefully inflicted with ANYTHING that person does not feel safe or comfortable with or which that person does not FREELY chose for themselves. This applies to the covid vaccines as well as all other past and future vaccines and substances.
P.S. Some perceive the fight for or against the vaccine as a political war. Although parts of it obviously are, there is a whole other non-political category of people (like me and many others) who do not want the vaccine due to previously choosing natural medicines over pharmaceuticals and due to feeling that many of the vaccines and pharmaceuticals can indeed have unhealthy side effects and are not safe. Its not about politics and is about our feelings of safety; our rights to our own choices about what is done to our own bodies and our rights to not be forced to do things that we do not feel safe or comfortable doing or that would deprive us of peaceful enjoyment of our own lives...etc. And the only politics we want in this situation is for our governments to perform their duties to retain and restore our right to the freedom to make our own choices about what is or is not done to our own bodies. Our personal rights and freedoms are more of an issue here than anything else is and we need your help to retained and/or restore them. Please help us. We matter too.
