A few weeks ago, I wrote a short note to my Democrat Representative in Congress expressing my concern about the vaccine mandates. I recently received a stock reply stating his support of mandates; in it he expressed his belief that “vaccine authorization decisions should be based in science and adhere to public health and medical experts' recommendations.” This was my reply:
Thank you for your response.
I agree that vaccine authorization decisions should be based in science; unfortunately we are at a strange point in time when public health is being politicized and the science conflicts with what many in the medical industry and political Left are saying. I am a registered Democrat and voted for you, but you will lose my support if you continue to blindly accept the messages that these vaccines are "safe and effective" - several studies, and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, show that they are neither. There have now been over 18,000 deaths reported after these shots in the U.S. alone, and it is very likely that adverse events are under-reported.
This study showed that it's more likely for a child to be hospitalized with post-injection myocarditis (heart inflammation from which scarring often lasts for life) than taking your chance with SarsCov2 and having the very rare circumstance that the child gets hospitalized with covid-19. This study shows that viral loads and susceptibility/ attack rates are the same between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals within the same household with regard to the delta variant - this flies in the face of the narrative that the vaccines stop or even reduce transmission. The only rational reason for mandating these vaccines would be if they stop transmission, which is not the case! Here's another study showing that increases in Covid-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination. And here's a study that deals with mortality - across every age group, an individual who took the vaccine (more prominently in the older age groups) was more likely to die after the vaccine than actually taking their chances with Covid and ultimately die of Covid.
One more point - my child and I are Covid-recovered, which means we have natural immunity. Why is natural immunity not being acknowledged, as it is in the U.K.? Here is a list of 81 scientific studies that show that natural immunity is robust, long-lasting, and superior to the vaccines, especially when it comes to the variants. Why should these new vaccines be a condition for employment or attending school when we don't need them and they do carry risk? A large study in the UK and another that surveyed people internationally found that people with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection experienced increased rates of side effects after vaccination, in fact we are roughly 56% more likely to experience a side effect that requires hospital care. Why should we be forced to take this unnecessary risk? And what kind of precedent is being set here?
Please take the time to read these studies and dig deeper - lives are being put at risk, and it seems entirely possible that more lives will be lost than saved by mandating these shots. The decision to take these injections for which the vaccine makers carry no liability should be entirely up to the individual, parents, and family doctors.
Thank you for your time.
Well said! I'm glad you shared this letter publicly. I know I've felt dispirited in the past when I've written to representatives and just received a canned response. But you've really shown the hollowness of his position by publicly sharing your original letter along his response and yours. Also, this an excellent resource of so many linked studies that can reveal the truth to us! Thank you!!
Thanks for this and all the links! I agree wholeheartedly! The issue of "...only possible rationale for a vaccine mandate of any kind would be if the vaccine prevents infection and transmission of a disease." As I understand it, many say it prevents hospitalization and death. Perhaps that seemed to be working at first, but once vacc loses efficacy, there is no prevention. Seems every reason it's argued for, eventually proves false. They needed to say up front, yes, this is an experiment, and now, no it's not working... And kids who mostly get a cold should not be forced to take the vacc risk to save adults. And there's so much more, even if it does keep you out of the hospital and dying for 5-6 months, are any short term or unknown long term risks worth it. And what about all the protocols that work that have been stifled from day 1. There's no end to the insanity... If a person with higher risk of co-morbidities wishes to gamble with the vacc, so be it, but please don't shove this down our throats. One should have the right to exercise one's own immunity, and thus gain a broader natural more long-lasting immunity. Thanks again for speaking out Becca! Well done and well written! I hope this opens our rep's eyes and ears!
