Letter to the editor: Vaxxed and unvaxxed divisions

We are at a tipping point in this country. Around the world, countries are locking in the unvaccinated and forcing vaccinations on citizens, with some putting the unvaccinated or those with covid in “quarantine camps” for their, and society’s, safety.

Here in the United States, we are being divided into two groups, vaxxed and unvaxxed. The unvaccinated are being denied services, jobs and entertainment. The deaths of the unvaccinated are being greeted with joy, while the vaccinated who die mysteriously from ailments that have never been diagnosed are mourned, with the proper reverence.

Any opposing views on treatments, the value of vaccines, masks and lockdowns, or the origin of the pandemic, are silenced. To speak out against the “science” is to be branded a heretic. Refusal to take the vaccination can result in job loss, expulsion from school and public shaming. It seems that free speech and free thought make one an enemy of the state.

The state wants compliance; it forces business to impose the compliance it can’t legislate. The state knows that fear is a great motivator in surrendering liberty and freedom, for safety and security. The legacy media, Big Pharma, Big Med, government leaders and social media feed the fear and division among us.

The freedoms that were fought for in 1776 to remove the bonds of tyranny, the battles of the Civil War that removed the chains of slavery, the battles of two World Wars to keep us free from tyrants and world dictatorship, will have been fought for nothing if we allow this medical tyranny to enslave us.
