Lingering Questions

On Sept. 9, 2021, President Biden announced his intention to mandate through the Department of Labor and OSHA that all Federal Employees (except postal workers) and all employees of all Federal government contractors receive the COVID-19 vaccine, plus all employees of all private companies and NGOs with more than 100 employees. In his statement he hinted that no one should have questions about the efficacy and safety of the vaccines. Therefore, everyone should be forced to receive the vaccine.

However, I do have lingering questions, going all the way back to the beginning of the pandemic.

1. Why was the reaction to SARS CoV-2 (known as COVID-19, which means COronaVIrus Disease 2019) so different from the reaction to SARS (version 1)? That’s not to mention Swine Flu, Bird Flu, H1N1, etc. We didn’t shut down the world economy, stop children from going to school and make everyone cover their faces with masks for those other diseases. Yes, COVID-19 was a new strain (“novel coronavirus”), but weren’t all those other diseases new at one time, too? After all, coronaviruses (like the common cold) have been around a long time, in many forms, and we don’t have vaccines for them, but we haven’t shut down our economy until we get a vaccine.
2. Why did candidates Biden and Harris say they wouldn’t take the vaccine before they were elected, but a year later, Biden intends to FORCE every American who works for an entity with 100-plus employees to be vaccinated?
3. When the president says, “It’s not about freedom…” is he really saying, “We are taking away your freedom”?
4. Why, at almost the same moment that Biden was telling us we will have no freedom of choice concerning the vaccine, in another room of the White House, was Vice President Harris speaking against the Texas abortion law because, in her opinion, it limits healthcare choice?
5. Many physicians are advising people with certain conditions, such as auto-immune diseases, not to get these vaccines. Are they accommodated in Biden’s plan?
6. Why is there a news and social-media blackout about bad reactions to the vaccines? There have been reports of paralysis, pericarditis (enlarged heart) and death, including nursing-infant death, occurring within days of vaccination. It’s difficult to get reliable numbers. Every drug commercial and documents from your pharmacy when you fill a prescription have page after page of possible side effects. Why are we not being told (except by “underground” sources) about the negative side effects of the vaccines?
7. Why, after we were told the vaccine was the sole solution to the pandemic, do we now find out that the vaccine doesn’t prevent you from contracting COVID and spreading it to others? Do the people in charge simply not know what they are talking about?
8. Since there is now a “delta” variant, is the original “alpha” COVID still out there? If not, is the president mandating the wrong vaccine?
9. Why, now that there are vaccines, do the vaccinated still have to wear masks, social distance and use hand sanitizer? We were told that once there were vaccines we could go back to normal. Will we never be “allowed” to go back to normal?
10. Why, after we agreed to “14 days to stop the spread,” have the goal posts been moved all the way to eradication (there must be no new cases)?
11. Why did the president say ALL those who have been vaccinated are angry with those who haven’t been vaccinated? That is obviously not remotely true, but why does he want to gin up anger and division, pitting one group of Americans against another?
12. Why is the accepted narrative that people who aren’t vaccinated are a threat to people who are? Wouldn’t the unvaccinated only be a threat to people who are also unvaccinated?
13. Why did the president not reference the fact that more than 200 million people have survived COVID worldwide (as of Sept. 7, 2021, according to the World Health Organization. https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/weekly-epidemiological-update-on-covid-19—7-september-2021), 40 million of whom are Americans? Studies show that those who have had the disease now have much more robust immunity than those who have been vaccinated. Shouldn’t they be excluded from the requirement to get the vaccine? But there was no mention of them. It’s almost as if there is a different reason for wanting everyone to be vaccinated. What would that reason be?
14. If more than half of the country is vaccinated and more than 40 million Americans have survived COVID-19, shouldn’t we have reached “herd immunity” by now? Why is no one is talking about “herd immunity” anymore?
15. Why have I never heard anyone in the media talk about the importance of building up your natural immune system? You would think the media was unaware of the existence of the human immune system. Instead, the emphasis has been the vaccine, not improving general health through a good diet, exercise, supplementation, etc. Of course, many in the medical community scoff at vitamin supplementation, but can it really be true that the only way to good health is Big Pharma?
16. Why are the powers-that-be downplaying the fact that worldwide more than 98% of people who get the disease survive (https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6)? Why do polls show that many, if not most people think half of those who get COVID are hospitalized and a large percentage of those die, when the truth is that only small numbers are hospitalized and  2% die (only about 1.5% in the US)? Why does the dominant narrative seem framed to inspire fear?
17. Why is there not widespread publication of the FACT that the “Delta” variant is significantly weaker than the original (Alpha) version? It may be true that it is more communicable, but it is certainly weaker and more survivable. Instead, we are given the impression that it is getting more powerful.
18. Why are we told to follow the science, but you can find videos and articles of doctors saying diametrically opposed things about the pandemic and the vaccines? Who are we to believe? Why is there “approved” science and “discredited” science? Physicians who disagree with the official narrative have been mocked and cancelled. Are they in danger of having their licenses taken away? Is that next?
19. Is it true that the reason the vaccines were available so quickly is that, during animal trials, all the animals died, so the trials were discontinued?
20. Why is Dr. Anthony Fauci on record saying in 2017 that there would definitely be a pandemic during the Trump administration? Was it because he had secretly funded the gain-of-function research at the Wuhan virology lab through the National Institutes of Health and he didn’t have confidence that they could keep it contained? What did he know and when did he know it?
21. And further: Why was the “lab-leak” theory instantly mocked as a hare-brained conspiracy theory, when Dr. Fauci knew that exact virus was being created in the Wuhan lab, because he indirectly funded it, even after the Obama administration said he had to stop? Why did he say the virus was naturally occurring when he knew better, according to recently released emails?
22. Why did Dr. Fauci say in 2020 that masks available to consumers could not stop the spread of the virus, so there was no need to wear a mask? Why did he change his mind to say you should wear a mask (or even two or three)?
23. Why is bureaucrat Anthony Fauci the highest paid employee in the Federal government, receiving more than the president, senators and the chief justice of the Supreme Court?
24. Why does Anthony Fauci still have a job when he has been wrong so many times? Should we listen to him at all?
25. Do any world politicians, health policy makers, media personalities or global movers-and-shakers like Fauci, Bill Gates or George Soros own stock in Big Pharma (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, et al)?
26. Why were the physicians who pointed out early-on that the DNA of the virus appeared to have been made in a lab and could not have occurred naturally banned from social media and called quacks and charlatans, when that was always the most plausible explanation and now appears to be the right one?
27. Why are healthcare workers who cared for COVID patients for a year without being vaccinated now threatened with being fired if they aren’t vaccinated?
28. Why have medications which many physicians have found to be efficacious treatments of COVID been ridiculed and even outlawed? Medications like Ivermectin and Hydroxy Chloroquine have been used for decades around the world with few side effects and they are inexpensive. Why ban them?
29. If the pandemic is so terrible and getting the vaccine so important, why did the Biden administration cancel the building of the wall on the southern border and signal that it was all right for hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated, unvetted people to flow into our country and be shuttled to every corner of the nation?
30. Why in the middle of the worst of the lock-down in the summer of 2020, did the Democrats support and even bail out thousands of rioters and looters at a time when Americans were not supposed to even leave their homes? Does the virus not spread during a riot or when you rob a store?
31. Does a Federal bureaucracy have the power to mandate a personal health decision? Why do past court decisions give this power to the states?
32. Why does COVID-19 disproportionately kill the old, the sick and people of color? Was it engineered to accomplish what past Eugenics efforts could not?
33. Why are Climate Change enthusiasts who believe the world is overpopulated also cheer leaders for the vaccines?
34. Why can you not find mortality figures for the flu during 2020? Did no one die from the flu in 2020? Also, why were there actually fewer total deaths during 2020 than in 2019, when we were supposedly in the throes of a murderous pandemic?
35. Is people dying from COVID-19 a bigger tragedy than people who commit suicide because they are separated from loved ones by a lockdown or because the business they invested their lives into has been destroyed because it was not “essential”?
36. Were the Chinese actually building a bioweapon, funded by American taxpayer money? Where are the lab workers who were there when the virus was released? Have most of them disappeared?
37. Why is President Biden not more curious about what the Chinese were doing and seeking to hold them accountable? Is it because he is compromised because of the activities of his son, Hunter?
