The “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated” narrative continues to crumble under the weight of facts. All of the data coming in indicates that those “fully vaccinated” against Covid-19 are just as likely to contract, get hospitalized, and die from the disease as the unvaccinated. Yet the push for anti-science mandates continues unabated with few lawmakers, nobody in mainstream media, and only a handful of brave medical professionals speaking out against them.

The latest hit to the narrative comes out of Illinois where the numbers seem to indicate the Covid jabs aren’t just ineffective, but those who have been injected may be MORE susceptible to the disease, particularly the rising variants. As Steve Deace from The Blaze noted on Twitter:

Steve Deace
@SteveDeaceShow
Illinois reporting 77.7% of its Covid deaths last week were vaccinated.

117 total Covid deaths last week: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19.html

91 of them vaccinated if you look at the increase in cumulative weekly breakthroughs here: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid...ne-breakthrough.html

91/117 = 77.7%
6:26 PM · Oct 27, 2021

77.7% is an astounding number by itself, but when we consider the Mayo Clinic‘s numbers indicate 54.4% of Illinois’ population is fully vaccinated, it’s easy to see why nobody in corporate media is touching this story. They are beholden to Big Pharma’s agenda, just like most in our government, Big Tech, academia, and the healthcare industry.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Florida’s path from worst-to-first in COVID metrics raises questions about pandemic restrictions

https://justthenews.com/nation..._campaign=newsletter

Two months ago, Florida led the nation in COVID-19 positivity rates and per capita hospitalizations and deaths. Now, the state has the nation’s lowest positivity and death rates.

Gov. Ron DeSantis attributes the turnaround – part of a sustained nationwide trend – to the state’s aggressive vaccination outreach, creation of monoclonal treatment centers and its “data-driven approach free of mandates.”

Most public health officials, however, say the pandemic’s wane across much of the country, especially in areas such as Florida that saw significant summer surges, is following an increasingly familiar two-month cycle and has nothing to do with government policies, one way or another.

Good point, DeSantis’ office agreed, noting Florida’s positivity, hospitalization and death rates are below those of New York and California, where governments imposed business shutdowns and mask/vaccine mandates.

During the peak of July-August’s COVID-19 surge, Florida was recording 101 cases per 100,000 people and 1.77 new deaths per 100,000 people, both among the nation’s highest tallies.

Instead of buckling to demands to tighten restrictions on businesses, schools and social activities, DeSantis doubled-down on his approach to use executive power and a legally-challenged expansion of state regulatory authority to ban mask and vaccine mandates and penalize entities, including, perhaps soon, private businesses, that violated the policy.

The governor argued the spike was seasonal and would wane. He said vaccinations, monoclonal treatments, and controversially, “herd immunity,” would gradually prove to be the winning ticket in defeating the pandemic – and would do so without business shutdowns and public mask mandates that disrupt everything from the economy to public schools.

DeSantis’ stand now appears insightful, or at least providential, because while case counts, hospitalizations and deaths attributed to COVID-19 have declined nationwide since mid-September, they’ve dramatically plummeted in Florida over the last month.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), over the last 14 days as of Thursday, Florida is recording 8 cases per 100,000 people, a 38% decline from the previous two-week period, and 0.1 deaths per 100,000 people over the last week. Both are the nation’s lowest rates.

“Without mandates or lockdowns, COVID-19 cases in Florida have decreased 90% since August,” DeSantis said in a statement. “In addition to cases, hospitalizations have plummeted in our state. This has been accomplished by making monoclonal antibody treatments and vaccines widely available throughout our state while protecting Floridians from government overreach.”

DeSantis’ office noted Florida’s numbers are better across the board than states that imposed business lockdowns and other restrictions.

“As Florida now ranks lowest in the continental U.S. in terms of COVID-19 rates per capita, we are proud to have stood firm in protecting liberty throughout the pandemic,” Lt. Gov. Janet Nuñez said, praising DeSantis for an approach "guided by science, data, and pragmatism, not fear and alarmist narratives.”

According to the Governor’s Office, since opening 25 state-run monoclonal antibody treatments across the state beginning in August, more than 147,000 Floridians have received treatments and hospitalizations have decreased 87%.

Since June, vaccination rates among 12-19 year olds have increased by 27%; 20-29 year olds by 18%; 30-39 year olds by 20%; 40-49 year olds by 19%; 50-59 year olds by 15%; 60-64 year old by 11%.

The number of people vaccinated grew by 74,850 over the last two weeks, meaning about 13.865 million Floridians, about 73% of the state’s eligible population, have been vaccinated.

COVID-19 cases in school-aged children have decreased 87% since schools started and cases among 18-24 year olds decreased 93% since August, the Governor’s Office said.

Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Texas – all of which saw cases surge during the July-August “fourth wave” of the pandemic – have also seen significant declines since early September.

You guys know you can get Ivermectin through America's Frontline Doctors and FLCCC Alliance. Prescribed by actual doctors even! I don't recall hearing about it but on the FLCCC site there is a story on how Ivermectin saved Lou Gosset Jr's life.

I'm gonna say not good enough. They support the mayor, the gov. They should go. They shouldn't be just losing biz as expected. They should go out of biz. Then they can decide if they are for us or against us. Nothing in the middle.

ETA: I hope our legislators are drafting an additional amendment that will prevent this type of overreach AND undue private sector influence into government actions in the future.

D.C. Judge Blocks Biden From Firing Unvaccinated Employees, Active-Duty Military Members

A judge on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Joe Biden from firing several unvaccinated federal employees, including active-duty military members, named in the suit challenging the president’s vaccinate mandate as unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs are seeking religious exemption from the Biden vaccine mandate for federal workers, first formally announced on September 9.

“None of the civilian employee plaintiffs will be subject to discipline while his or her request for a religious exception is pending,” Washington D.C. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered, according to Fox News.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling added that “active duty military plaintiffs, whose religious exception requests have been denied, will not be disciplined or separated during the pendency of their appeals.”

Politico and lawyer Jenna Ellis posted the ruling on Twitter on Thursday: “This is an amazing development from the DC District Court in the stand for OUR RIGHTS against the unconstitutional vaccine mandates,” she wrote.

BREAKING: @Yoder_Esq with a HUGE WIN in Church v. Biden.
(Yes, that’s the actual case caption. For those playing along, 1:21-cv-2815)

This is an amazing development from the DC District Court in the stand for OUR RIGHTS against the unconstitutional vaccine mandates.
— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) October 28, 2021

“The court further ordered the defendants in the Biden administration to file a supplemental notice by noon on Friday that indicates whether they will agree that no plaintiff will be disciplined or terminated pending the court’s ruling,” Fox News noted.

Immediately following Biden’s announcement of the vaccine dictate, Mike Yoder, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, made an announcement of his own. “I will be immediately filing suit against [Joe Biden] regarding his [overboard] & unconstitutional vaccine mandate,” he posted to Twitter.

A day before Yoder received the temporary restraining order in his favor, he raged against the mandate online.

“Under Biden, exercising your religious freedoms will get your fired, for cause and you lose your benefits,” he wrote. “But if you perjure yourself like FBI’s Andy McCabe, you’ll get a pension, $200,000 in backpay, & $500,000 worth of attorneys fees.”

In an op-ed, The Hill noted this month that McCabe “settled” with the DOJ, “eliminat[ing] all consequences” for the finding that he lied under oath: “The agreement does not change the findings of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz that McCabe lied under oath to investigators on three occasions; it simply eliminates all consequences for doing so.”

Biden said in September that mandatory vaccination and testing and mask requirements are not just federal employees, but many private businesses, too.

“Companies with at least 100 employees must require their employees get vaccinated or submit to weekly COVID-19 tests under a new Biden administration plan to combat the coronavirus and encourage vaccination,” The Daily Wire reported at the time. “President Joe Biden is scheduled to outline a revamped federal strategy to address COVID-19 that includes far more invasive regulations and restrictions than the federal government has put in place to date. Part of Biden’s six-point plan involves cracking down on 100+ employee companies to push their employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19.”

According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Labor Department plans to issue an emergency temporary standard in a matter of weeks “implementing the new requirement, which will cover 80 million private-sector workers. … Businesses that don’t comply can face fines of up to $14,000 per violation, [officials] said.”

Notably, Daily Wire co-founder and co-CEO Jeremy Boreing quickly reacted to the announcement via Twitter, saying he would not comply with Biden’s dictates.

“The Daily Wire has well over 100 employees. We will not enforce Joe Biden’s unconstitutional and tyrannical vaccine mandate,” Boreing wrote. “We will use every tool at our disposal, including legal action, to resist this overreach. More to come.”

^^^It's utterly repulsive that any entity, .gov or otherwise, should think they have the 'right' be the arbiter in determining if your 'request' for a 'religious exemption' is somehow valid in their eyes. Nowhere in the Bill of Rights does it say that I have to prove my religious beliefs, and I certainly shouldn't be judged based on my attendance record at any particular church, my documented tithing, or my ability to quote certain scriptures to support my case as to whether or not I qualify. My deeply held religious beliefs and just that, my deeply held religious beliefs....I should not be required to get anyone to 'sign off' on my Natural, God Given Rights, Period!

Kinda interesting isn't it? You only get to keep your god given freedom 'if' the government accepts a religious exemption, a topic government should not be within a thousand miles of. When we lose autonomy over our own bodies, is there really anything left short of taking our lives from us?

Biden admin says it will not halt firing employees seeking vax exemptions before a DC court ruling

The Biden administration, which had until noon on Friday to respond, said in a filing that it would not agree to halt the discipline and termination of any employees in the process of seeking a religious exemption to the vaccine pending the court's ruling on the temporary restraining order (TRO) motion.

"It is Plaintiffs’ burden to demonstrate impending irreparable harm…but Plaintiffs offer nothing beyond speculation to suggest that their religious exception requests will be denied and that they will be disciplined at all, much less on the first day that such discipline is theoretically possible," wrote the Biden administration in its filing Friday.

The judge on Thursday also asked the administration to agree that "active duty military plaintiffs, whose religious exception requests have been denied, will not be disciplined or separated during the pendency of their appeals."

Perhaps the Biden Administration can explain to us how to get unvaccinated.
Seems to be irreparable harm to me.


The Biden Administration did not mention mandated vaccinations for illegal aliens, however is looking at offering them $450,000 each as a free gift from the American Taxpayer for entering our country and breaking our laws.
That’s $1.35 Million for a family of three.

As people who have been paying attention know, there are NO FDA-approved shots currently available in the United States. FDA played bait-and-switch with two smoke and mirrors letters issued the same day to provide political cover for corrupt politicians and corporations to begin mandating that people get jabbed…or else.

What actually occurred was that the first letter concerned a Biological License Application (BLA) was approved, to permit marketing of COMIRNATY, which is NOT currently available in the United States, provided that the marketing materials are subsequently approved. The second letter said that the Pfizer/BioNTech formulation was clinically identical to COMIRNATY. It did NOT “approve” the Pfizer/BioNTech injection.

That is the reason they’re dropping the hammer so hard and so fast to now coerce people into getting jabbed after months of cajoling them with freebies. Speed is their only ally. The longer you resist, the less time they will have to compel your compliance, because the lawsuits currently working their way through the legal system will enjoin them from requiring injections.

After the FDA approved vaccinating children this week and with the growing battle over mandating vaccinations, who didn't see this BS coming? What a load of crap. The CDC has 'zero' credibility at this point and should be completely ignored by everyone.

Alaska joins lawsuit against vaccine mandate for federal contractors

By Tim Rockey
Published: Oct. 29, 2021 at 11:12 AM AKDT|Updated: 2 hours ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Alaska on Friday became the 10th state to join a lawsuit pushing back against vaccine mandate for federal contractors.

The suit alleges that President Joe Biden “overstepped his legal authority” by issuing a mandate that employees of contractors who wish to obtain federal contracts or who are currently under federal contracts must be 100% vaccinated by Dec. 8.

“Our laws prohibit this type of action, which is overreaching and inconsistently applied,” Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor said in a press release. “This order improperly tries to use the force of law to punish federal contractors for decisions that should be left to them and their employees. Fortunately, federal and state law prohibits these bully tactics.”

Biden’s executive order mandating that employees of federal contractors be vaccinated was issued on Sept. 9 and states that private businesses must have 100 % of employees vaccinated before federal contracts could be awarded, or before their current federal contracts would be renewed.

Among the Alaskan businesses potentially affected by the vaccine mandate, the Alaska Railroad is a current federal contractor who recently rescinded their company vaccine mandate.

Alaska joins Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming in the lawsuit. The filing of the lawsuit maintains that the rule for contractors is ambiguous, inconsistent, and would cause confusion and exacerbate ongoing supply chain issues.

“President Biden’s attempt to force vaccinations is, at the root of it, unamerican,” said Gov. Dunleavy. “These mandates cause division at a time where we need to work together. Forced medical decisions are counterintuitive – destroying America’s sense of fairness and liberty. My administration will continue to fight against these mandates to protect the inherent individual rights of all Alaskans. Medical choice is an individual American freedom.”

The suit cites U.S. Department of Labor statistics that roughly one-fifth of workers in the U.S. are “workers employed by federal contractors”

The suit alleges that the mandate creates further questions about legality and argues that Biden’s mandate is not legal within Article II of the U.S. Constitution or any act of Congress.

According to data from the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, 60.2% of Alaskans over the age of 12 are fully vaccinated. Across the U.S., 192 million people are fully vaccinated, accounting for 67.7% of residents 12 and older.

Texas has now joined the lawsuit - or at least filed one - against Biden's jab mandate. From today's Texas Tribune:
quote:
Attorney General Ken Paxton, on behalf of the state, sued the Biden administration on Friday over its coronavirus vaccine mandate for federal contractors.

The federal requirement, which is set to take effect Dec. 8, calls on all federal workers and contractors to be vaccinate against COVID-19. The Texas lawsuit comes after similar suits filed by Florida and Georgia, among several other states.

"The Biden Administration has repeatedly expressed its disdain for Americans who choose not to get a vaccine, and it has committed repeated and abusive federal overreach to force upon Americans something they do not want," Paxton said in a statement. "The federal government does not have the ability to strip individuals of their choice to get a vaccine or not. If the President thinks his patience is wearing thin, he is clearly underestimating the lack of patience from Texans whose rights he is infringing."

From a few paragraphs down:
quote:
The lawsuit alleges the Biden administration acted unconstitutionally in drafting the vaccine mandate policy. It also argues that the administration required congressional approval to enforce it.
