A WSJ Editor Won’t Be Fooled Again
As Hurricane Idalia barrels down upon Florida’s Panhandle, the news is hot, wet, and politized. A febrile media claims case counts are on the rise, reports Matthew Hennessey in the WSJ. Hennessey pledges this time to take a stand: “Whatever happens, I won’t participate in meaningless gestures. That means no masks, under any circumstances. Never again.”
I’ll also pledge no fist bumps, no grocery washing, no crossing the street to avoid my neighbors, no locking myself away from the world, no health attestations. I won’t present my papers. I won’t swab my nose morning, noon and night. And I won’t submit to mandates that fill my veins—or, more important, my children’s veins—with new drugs and vaccines that haven’t been tested the way drugs and vaccines normally are.
To my mild shame, I largely did as I was told during the pandemic. I wore the masks, got the shots, worked from home, worshiped online. I even stayed away from my father’s house as he lay dying from cancer. I should have been there. I’ll never get over that.
Biden – a New Campaign from His Basement?
Last Friday, President Biden announced to reporters he’s asking Congress “for funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works.” Why should we believe that after the long litany of noble lies and the coercion they were used to justify?
With a new coronavirus variant circulating, researchers are worried.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is tracking a surge in Covid-related hospital visits. A few college campuses and business offices are demanding masks.
Let Freedom Ring
Mr. Hennessey complied last time, he admits, “because everyone seemed to be complying and I didn’t have the guts to say no.”
In hindsight I can’t help but feel I sold my God-given freedom too cheaply. I won’t get fooled again.
