Anyone who tries to force that vaccine on me against my will will die.

It's not about physically forcing it on you. As he said, they'll make it mandatory for kids to go to school, including private schools. Or to get on a plane. At that point, who are you going to fight? The school principal that says your kid can't go to the school, or the TSA agent at the gate? The time to stop this insanity is now.

At root, it may fundamentally come down to worldview, particularly that of individualism versus collectivism. Mandatory vaccines are quintessentially the latter, as the group is elevated above that of any individual. Only a society which cherishes individual liberty can tolerate a freedom of personal choice. Unfortunately, I think we all know which side of the continuum we are careening towards, if not there already.

Because the vaccine is not about the vaccine.
It is, like basically everything else, a power grab. Being able to force you to undergo medical procedures against your will gives them power over you, which is what theyre after. For them, every single issue about which they make decisions is just a piece on a chess board.

I wish God would get busy punishing them. But maybe we are his instruments of retribution.

Thought about it. The concept of god is ridiculous.

The concept of godlessness never ends up well for the godless.

'Joe Biden raised eyebrows Thursday evening at an ABC News town hall when he said that he would consider making the COVId-19 vaccine mandatory in the same way that the measles vaccine is."You can't enforce that, but you can tell people they can't come to school without it," Biden said.He said as president, his mandate on vaccine distribution and consumption would depend on the "nature" of it and how it would be distributed."President Trump talks about things that arenâ\x80\x99t even accurate about everything from vaccines. '
'Weâ\x80\x99re going to have one right away. '
'Itâ\x80\x99s going to happen and so on. '
' The point is that if the scientists, if the body of scientist say this is what is ready to be doneâ\x80¦ I would take it," Biden said. '
