was to vaccinate at least 80 percent of the U.S.
population. Their request for funding was
eagerly approved by Congress, as its members
sought the goodwill of their constituents for
ostensibly saving their lives.
In the meantime, the World Health
Organization was hesitant to recommend
such a bold agenda. As it turned out, they
eventually learned that this particular flu bore
little resemblance to the
1918 flu, which actually
had been a form of avian
flu. Undaunted, the U.S.
Government forged ahead
with the vaccine program.
They had promised a
vaccine, so by gum, there
was going to be a vaccine.
If this is all starting
to sound familiar, stay
tuned.
When three elderly
patients at one Philadelphia clinic reportedly
died shortly after receiving the vaccine,
the program was suspended. The predicted
epidemic never materialized, and the program
was deemed a fiasco.
No such concern was ever shown about
deaths that may have been linked to a more
recent hell-bent-for-leather vaccine program.
I can still recall President Trump advocating a
do-or-die effort to roll out a vaccine as quickly
as possible. I had serious doubts about such

a vaccine. Remember, this is a government
that refuses to approve potentially life-saving
treatments for terminally ill patients. That’s
something that always leaves me scratching
my head. If a person cannot avoid death
absent treatment, what is the risk of trying
something that has not been proven to be safe
and effective?
Yet, in the case of this new, untested
and unproven vaccine,
we needed to pull out
all the stops. I do recall
quite a few left-of-center
individuals staunchly
declaring that in no way
would they ever consent
to having the “Trump
vaccine” administered
to them. On that
point, I agreed, but not
for partisan reasons.
However, once it became
clear that Trump would
not serve a second consecutive term, these
same people lined up like lemmings to get
“the jab”… so much for critical thinking skills.
Now all of a sudden we were being counseled
to “follow the science”. From where I stood,
it seemed to be more political science than
medical science.
Now that the evil Orange Man was out
of the picture, our ever-friendly government
not only continued to push the jab, but
