Eager believers in whatever the mass media, or Dr. Fauci, or others say about COVID-19 are now shifting their efforts. They have begun to promote one or all of the vaccines being rushed into production. Not everyone is on board with the new supposedly wonderful process to take us out of what is widely characterized as a pandemic.
Dr. Jane Orient is the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AARP). From her home base in Tucson, Arizona, she sends out a steady stream of medical information. Now worried about the threat of compulsory vaccination, her latest messages deal with the supposed cure-all contained in various vaccines being developed at break-neck speed. But she isn’t buying the hype about any of them.
“It seems to me reckless to be pushing people to take risks when you don’t know what the risks are,” says the specialist in internal medicine who earned her medical degree at Columbia University in New York City. Continuing, the veteran doctor said, “People’s rights should be respected.” She wants anyone to be able to refuse any of the vaccines being developed in great haste without the customary testing that takes significant amounts of time to gain FDA approval. And she has forthrightly indicated that she intends to avoid having one of these rush-job vaccines injected into her own body.
Vaccine promoters will, of course, denounce Dr. Orient and her sensible stand. They will challenge her medical knowledge, even while she points out that some of the developers of the vaccine are offering a substance created using an entirely new scientific process. Senator Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party’s minority in the Senate, wasted no time responding to her. The New York Times quoted him, a man with no medical training whatsoever, as follows: “At such a crucial time, giving a platform to conspiracy theorists to spread myths and falsehoods about COVID vaccines is one of the last things anyone should be doing.” So, according to the New York senator, refusing to be vaccinated with a substance that hasn’t been fully tested is now a “conspiracy theory”?
Led by Bill and Melinda Gates, proposals exist to require a form of ID indicating that its holder has been vaccinated in order to board an airplane, engage in business, attend classes at a university, and participate in numerous other common pursuits. This hasn’t happened yet but the fact that it is being proposed by some would-be people controllers is frightening. We have to wonder whether these people have ever read the Bill of Rights.
Promoters of vaccinating everyone with one of the products being touted as a desperately needed antidote to the COVID disease regularly point to greatly exaggerated numbers of COVID victims. The truth is that the number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 alone is no more than 10 percent of the number being cited. Yes, some people are dying from COVID and the virus can be blamed. But most of the deceased are succumbing to other factors including heart conditions, diabetes, obesity, and more. Actual deaths attributed to COVID alone parallel the number of deaths in a normal flu season. Bad as these have been, they never generated calls for lockdowns, face masks, distancing, and now vaccinations.
Dr. Orient has also spoken out in favor of using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as the prime substance for treating COVID victims. The AARP she leads has actually filed a suit against the federal government in hopes of freeing up the use of HCQ that many doctors insist has already been shown to successfully treat COVID patients. Not using HCQ for ill COVID victims has to be considered criminal.
On December 8, the AARP chieftain brought her opinions and her expertise to a Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee chaired by Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. But only three other committee members on the 14-member committee attended. They included Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, who “criticized the hearing in opening remarks but left before asking questions,” reported the New York Times. “On the Republican side, only Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri made appearances.” Sadly, most of the committee’s members did not even bother to show up to learn for themselves what Dr. Orient and other like-minded experts have to say.
