In the 1946 motion picture “Little Giant,” Lou Costello’s character is a vacuum cleaner salesman. His first attempt at salesmanship is met by a woman who says NO and slams the door in his face even before he can recite a sales pitch.

That, I submit, should be the model for all of us who have no intention of taking an alleged “vaccine” for an alleged “virus” whose existence has never been demonstrated.  It is a metaphor for how we should respond to the Militant Vaccine Pushers.

That Americans today are morally and philosophically bankrupt is nicely illustrated by the zeal with which they search for “reasons” not to accept any such “vaccines”—those “reasons” being exemptions stamped “Valid” by Authority A, B, C, X, Y, or Z.  Citing “exemptions” for alleged health reasons, alleged religious beliefs, or any other alleged excuse, or because of the alleged “dangerousness” of such alleged “vaccines” is moral cowardice on the part of people who hate responsibility.  It is as if they hate moral agency more than anything else in life.

My mommy or daddy says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated, or:

My doctor says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated, or:

My employer says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated, or:

My clergyman says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated.

Such people are a population of infants.  They have no comprehension of what is meant by individual rights, the sovereignty of an individual over his body, his health, and his life, limitations on government power, or limitations on the lust for power by do-gooders.

Because an individual says NO is all the reason he needs not to buy a vacuum cleaner or accept a vaccine.  Any vacuum cleaner salesman in the 1940s who did not take no for an answer and attempted instead to bribe or coerce a housewife into buying a vacuum cleaner would have been promptly censured and fired by his employer.  Any vacuum cleaner company who claimed no liability if their machines did not work or blew up would have been denounced by reputable companies.

Moral and philosophical bankruptcy is what makes Americans receptive to the Big Lies asserted by opportunists like Uncle Joe, medical racketeers like Flim-Flam Fauci, and the CDC, which has been characterized as perhaps the most corrupt federal agency in the history of this nation, which, considering all those other corrupt federal agencies, is saying quite a lot.

The “dangerousness” of alleged “vaccines” is beside the point. “Dangerousness” does not decide the question. The free, uncoerced choice of each person for himself is what decides the question.  It is each person’s inalienable right to choose for himself (but not for anyone else) to take any vaccine or alleged vaccine or not to take it.  No government and no group of medical or pharmaceutical racketeers has any right to dictate either decision to you or to anyone.

John Stuart Mill understood this matter clearly when he wrote in On Liberty:

“The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others.  In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute.  Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.”  (1859)

People who surrender that sovereignty richly deserve the consequences, including losing their rights and their nation.

An old saying has it that my liberty ends where your nose begins. A hundred years ago, Americans understood such things. But they were grown-up. They understood that their sovereignty over body, health, and mind was not up for negotiation with politicians, do-gooders, or racketeers.  They could not have imagined that one day their descendants would agree to surrender that sovereignty to any government, let alone to creatures as loathesome as Biden and Fauci.

           “During our civil war, the writer had charge of an inclosure where there were 1500 men and the smallpox among them…..  Though educated to believe in vaccination, the nine months’ experience caused me to doubt its efficacy, and subsequent investigation and personal experience have produced a well-grounded belief that vaccination is the best perfected and most dangerous humbug the world ever saw….

          “Like every other evil that infests society, vaccination has its pecuniary incentives.  Every smallpox scare in our large cities changes upwards of $100,000 from the citizens’ pockets to those of the physicians, which, it is natural to suppose…..makes it so difficult to get an unbiased record of the disastrous consequences of vaccination…..”

Men and women–ostensibly grown-up–who agree to spend a year and a half wearing masks are a population of infants. A nation of infants are oblivious to understanding any of the above.  They cannot defend or conserve anything. In one act of moral cowardice after another, they will surrender every good thing their ancestors left them. I have seen them do this over the past half century. It is disgusting beyond measure and beyond description.

But the COVID/Vaccines Fraud did not cause me to “lose confidence” in doctors. I lost that confidence 55 years ago when I saw doctors who were accomplished practitioners of coercion and mendacity.  Of course I know there are exceptions, and here are some thoughts from 2010 pertinent to the Big Fraud from a doctor who is both smart and honest:

           “…..Doctors are the modern day priests and priestesses, anointing their followers with prescriptions. The priests are infatuated with and addicted to the power endowed to them. They strut about, cock-sure that they were rightly taught the one and only true form of medicine, and they are fulfilling their service to humanity. They have been successfully ordained into the Brotherhood. They have no intentions of doubting or abandoning their programming, even when they witness someone healing without drugs, or being healthy without vaccines. Where would they be if they realized that the earth would be better off without their temples and holy water? They are unintentionally dependent on their devotees’ illnesses and on the system that taught them to spar with disease rather than heal it. The temple of mirrors is filled with smoke, and creates illusions that will keep the sick coming back for more…..

            “…..Here’s the plan by the vaccine enthusiasts: Vaccinate everyone. Tell them it is necessary to prevent death and disease. Make it easy for them, and if necessary, make it free. Tell them it is irresponsible to refuse the shot. Threaten them and coerce them. Tell them they could lose their livelihood if they do not comply. If too many refuse, declare states of emergency, ramp up production, make the shot mandatory. If enough people are vaccinated, it will soon become impossible to discern regular illness from vaccine-induced disease. Everyone will simply appear to be sick and every human will become desperate enough to swallow at least two or three of pharma’s widgets (pills) every day for life. Disease will become the expectation from birth to death, and the time will shorten between the two……”

Finally, I want to thank Laura Wood for the excellent coverage she has provided concerning the COVID/Vaccines Fraud, which I predict historians of the future (if any) will look upon as one of the most vile episodes in American history.

I hate to be seen as a quibbler, but I don’t understand how any orthodox Christian can accept Alan’s moral principle as stated. No human on earth possesses absolute physical autonomy, and if the “powers that be” (as described in Romans chapter 13) “wield not the sword in vain” but are “God’s ministers for our good”, then there will certainly be times when the state may legitimately tell us what to do.

I would admonish those who share Alan’s point of view to reconsider. Instead of framing the “vax or no vax” question in terms of individual liberty I suggest looking at the problem in terms of truth versus lies. The first century Romans to whom St. Paul was writing did want to “honor the king”, but only insofar as they did not lie. They confessed Jesus as Lord, and therefore could not also say that “Caesar is lord.” To have two “Lords” is both logically impossible and theologically incorrect. Therefore they could not and would not offer their “pinch of incense” to Caesar. Jesus is Lord; period.

I refuse the death vax not because it’s harmful (even though it clearly is). And I do not refuse the death vax because of any ultra-libertarian concept of “each person’s inalienable right to choose for himself”. Rather, I won’t take the “vaccine” because it is not true. It is not a vaccine at all (whether or not one accepts the common understanding of virus theory). And, the “vaccine” is based on a false understanding of what a human being is. These sociopaths from Pfizer, Astra-Zeneca, et. al., have the crazed idea that human beings are analogous to computers. Our bodies (they argue) are “hardware”, and our DNA is the “software”, and if the hardware is suffering on account of computer bugs then you simply write a programming “patch” and trick the bad programming into working properly. Then, you present quarterly “updates” just like Microsoft does, but in this case the updates come by way of a death-jab/vaccine.

This regimen of lies is only propped up by a nauseating and all pervasive regime of lies we call the Media. And the government. And the corporations. And the universities. And the “churches.” We all know these people and entities are lying about Covid. And so I find that I do acknowledge the authority of the government to tell me what to do. But I will not aid them in their telling of lies by complying with orders based on lies.

They are liars. I (so help me, Lord Jesus) am not a liar. I don’t want to go to hell, and I don’t want to be like the “father of lies” who is most certainly getting a big kick out of this whole sorry show.

Alan’s article is excellent, but IMO his understanding is not complete.  “VM” responded  nicely when he stated that “No human on earth possesses absolute physical autonomy, and if the “powers that be” (as described in Romans chapter 13) “wield not the sword in vain” but are “God’s ministers for our good”, then there will certainly be times when the state may legitimately tell us what to do… And I do not refuse the death vax because of any ultra-libertarian concept of “each person’s inalienable right to choose for himself”.

Wonderfully expressed. However, VM then disappoints when he says that the Corona vaccine is not a vaccine at all – that that’s where the problem lies, i.e., it is “not true”.  VM seems to be implying that there are indeed legitimate vaccines (you know, the 70+ doses your kids get by the time they finish school) and then there’s the bad, devilish Corona shot, which is not a true vaccine.

The reality is that all acute sicknesses (colds, flus,  chicken pox, etc) are gifts from heaven – warnings that we are skating on thin ice, that our overall health needs attention.  They are agents trying to make you aware of your weakened condition, not enemies.   The so called childhood diseases are not demonic entities meant to kill anyone, they are Almighty God tapping you on the shoulder, then kicking you in the rear when you don’t heed his initial warnings.  It is not an issue of an immune system battling, killing, making war against invisible entities floating around – this outlook is a slap in the face of the Creator.  It is not a crime to get sick, but neither are you a victim of outside forces.

Why do some people actually die of these acute illnesses?  Well, they die with them, but not really of them.  I would say it is primarily the result of a lifetime’s suppression of the wide variety of unpleasant warning signals such as flu, cold, headache, aches and pains of every variety, emotional issues, unhappiness,  etc. with inoculations and harsh drugs which merely drive the illness (or problem) deeper. There are countless harmless at-home or professionally administered treatments available which have been used for millennia.  Suffer a bit now from your flu, corona or any other kind, and you may not have to be transported to hospital 40 years later and stuck under a ventilator, which really will kill you.

Thanks to Alan and VM, and to you for permitting me to speak my piece.

Thank you for the great comments by Alan, VM and Betsy.

I believe — but I must do some more research on this, and I promise to do it — that under the principles of Catholic moral theology,  the government can prohibit citizens from receiving certain medical procedures or drugs (abortion is a good example) because they are harmful, but it cannot compel any treatment, no matter how allegedly benign it is. This limitation would be rooted in the autonomy of the soul and the body, the latter being sacred because it is the soul’s home.
