As we’ve often heard, “never let a crisis go to waste” is how Leviathan ratchets her grip on power. I believe peaceful Civil Disobedience is a powerful tool to promote grass roots resistsnce to #MedicalTyranny.
Before Texas came to its senses and repealed covid mandates, I'd be the sole #unmuzzled person in a sea of masks. Some folks & managers screamed at me (I now #boycott Sprouts Farmers Market), but I was accepted at most stores and never feared the vitriol hurled at me by Luddites: I was armed and quietly walked away from these confrontations.
R Heinlein once wrote, "An armed society is a polite society." Well, given what I've experienced lately it's not necessarily polite, but at least the mob will pause for a moment before rushing me.
Australia defanged its denizens (denied citizens) in the 1990s. Canada continues to strip its hapless population of firearms to protect them from themselves, — 17 2.2021, "Government of Canada introduces new firearms legislation to protect Canadian communities," is.gd/YdS6E6
Remember #BigBrother & the #NannyState have your best interests at ❤️, — that's why they're running the largest #Mengele experiment in #Faucist history on millions of unsuspecting children.
Jennifer A Blumenthal and Jeffrey P Burns, 28.12.2020, Complexities of the COVID‐19 vaccine and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children note that,
Investigations of vaccine efficacy in the pediatric patient is complicated even further by the fact that children cannot consent, nor often even assent, to participate in these studies where the risk of serious harm is potentially significant. In addition, the fact that children as a whole are less severely affected by the virus necessities even higher enrollment in these pediatric, compared to adult vaccine effectiveness trials, in order to demonstrate statistical significance.
The medical community does not yet know exactly why children experience less severe disease from COVID‐19. Beyond the relative rarity of serious illness in children from acute infection from SARS‐CoV‐2, there has now emerged in children a different rare, but very serious, post‐viral syndrome now termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C).
Across the world, there are slight differences in the definition of MIS‐C, but all generally include fever, elevated inflammatory markers, and rash or mucous membrane changes with or without myocardial dysfunction and shock that is not caused by another pathogen and with known exposure to or positivity for SARS‐CoV‐2 in the recent past.
This syndrome can be characterized by severe cardiovascular outcomes in pediatric patients, including significant coronary artery dilation in 17% and even nearly 30% of severely affected patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in a large Swiss and French cohort.
