Joe Biden is mandating that federal workers and contractors will have to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or else wear masks, engage in social distancing, and submit to regular COVID-19 testing. The Defense Department will investigate “how and when” they will require members of the military to be vaccinated. This is about 2.18 million civilian employees and 1.4 active military members. Now I could go on and on about the cost to the tax payers, the management of the vaccination data and the new regulatory requirement it places on federal agencies, or even the fact that some employees will be asking for reasonable accommodations but instead let’s just talk about FREEDOM. You see this week I want you to remember what FREEDOM looks like, what it feels like, and how you act when you are free–because you are losing it. The Union Square Hospitality Group has also chimed in and said to eat in their restaurants you will need to vaccinated. Netflix is joining Facebook and Google in requiring vaccination to work on site too. So the “unvaccinated” will no longer have the freedoms that the “vaccinated” will have. Some of you may say “just go get the vaccine”! And to that I would say if you want to get the vaccine, you have the freedom to get the vaccine. As a matter of fact, I believe Joe Biden will be handing out Franklins ($100) to those of you who do! You have the freedom to get the vaccine, but you are losing your freedoms if you choose NOT to.
Let’s be clear. If 60% of the 2.18 million federal employees already have the vaccination (1,260,000) that leaves 840,000 employees who chose FREEDOM. Of those 840,000 about 85% of theme are teleworking (714,000) so that leaves about 126,000 employees across the United States who if they continue to choose FREEDOM will ask for a reasonable accommodation for religious or health reasons. Joe’s going to get shot down by the federal unions and they are going to be negotiating more remote positions and teleworking into their Collective Bargaining Agreements. Our government services will become less effective and even less efficient. And remember, not one federal employee, legislator, judge, or elected official lost one day’s pay during the pandemic. Businesses closed, people lost their jobs, children didn’t go to school, universities sent students home and they are preparing for round 2.
From masking to social distancing to forced vaccination. You witnessed it; don’t believe it stops there. Private industry is jumping on the bandwagon as they are led by Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer. If this pandemic has shown nothing more than one thing, it has shown us how quickly we gave up. Remember when we masked up for two weeks? That was 17 months ago. Remember when they told you the vaccination would protect you from getting COVID? Now you will need annual boosters. Remember when you made your own medical decisions? That was July 29, 2021.
Elections have consequences and we are suffering the consequences of the 2020 election now. We can’t allow the democrats to continue these power grabs. Let’s get to work and ensure that our 2022 elections are fair and secure. Time to get to work.
