In July, the American Academy of Pediatrics, which was recently criticized by United States Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for its major financial backing from and cozy relationship with Big Pharma, launched an effort urging state and local governments to eliminate virtually all exemptions parents can claim to protect their children from the plethora of vaccine shots required for attendance at school or daycare. On Wednesday, Florida State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced in a speech at an event where he shared the stage with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis the commencement of an effort backed by Ladapo and DeSantis to take the opposite course of action — eliminate all vaccine mandates in the state.

Mike Brest reported Tuesday at the Washington Examiner that the “House of Representatives has come to an agreement to put language in the annual defense funding bill that would end the Pentagon’s coronavirus vaccine mandate for service members against President Joe Biden and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s stances.”
The intense effort to convince and compel Americans to take experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots has been a dire threat to liberty. One of the manifestations of this effort has been mandates imposed by President Joe Biden requiring many millions of Americans to take the shots in order to keep their jobs or be hired for new jobs with either government or private employers. State and local governments, as well as government-funded educational institutions, have also pursued efforts, including shots or no job mandates, to push individuals to take the shots.
Exerting a religious exemption in many cases has been the only means employees can exercise to protect themselves against a shots mandate.
Opponents of coronavirus crackdowns have found encouragement in the results of a new Monmouth University poll in which 70 percent of surveyed Americans responded that they tend to agree with the following statement: “It’s time we accept that Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives.” Supermajority agreement with this statement does seem to be a good sign for freedom. But, considering respondents’ answers to other questions in the poll suggests that a substantial portion of people saying we need to “get on with our lives” are actually supporting doing so in a “new normal” manner that incorporates significant aspects of violations of freedom that government has imposed in the name of countering coronavirus.
On Friday, another of President Joe Biden’s national vaccine mandates was ruled against by a federal judge. Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued a preliminary injunction against the United States government implementing or enforcing Biden’s mandate that US government employees take experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots.
Many students are already racking up debt to pay for college. A new study indicates that, for young men who comply with colleges’ mandates that students take experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots, the cost of college can also include serious sickness and death due to the shots causing heart problems.
The Tyrant Says He Means Well
Tyrants just about always say they mean well in imposing tyranny. Sweeping prohibitions, coupled with harsh enforcement, the tyrants say, are necessary to advance important conditions, such as health, economic wellbeing, or defense from an enemy’s menace.
So it goes as well with United States President Joe Biden who has unilaterally exercised broad tyrannical powers on matters including mask mandates and vaccine mandates in the name of protecting people’s health.
Over this and last month, there was good news for Americans seeking to exercise their right to refuse to take experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots. Decisions of several United States courts resulted in temporary injunctions against the US government’s implementation and enforcement of all three of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates for private employees — the mandate for employees at companies with 100 or more employees, the mandate for employees at health care related companies, and the mandate for employees at companies that are contractors or subcontractors with the US government.
Writing Monday regarding a United States district court that day ordering, in the case of Missouri v. Biden, an injunction on the implementation and enforcement of President Joe Biden’s mandate that millions of health care workers take experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots, I suggested that that order that applies in ten states may be a step toward a countrywide suspension of the mandate.
Here is an update. The following day — Tuesday, a countrywide suspension of the mandate came into being.
Earlier this month, in response to a United States appellate court’s preliminary injunction order, the US government suspended implementing and enforcing President Joe Biden’s mandate regarding employees of companies with 100 or more employees taking experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots. Then, yesterday, a US district court issued a preliminary injunction order against the implementation and enforcement of Biden’s mandate that millions of workers in the health care field take the shots.
Today, another of Biden’s major vaccine mandates was enjoined by a district court in Kentucky. The injunction, which applies in Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee, bars the implementation and enforcement of Biden’s vaccine mandate for employees of contractors of the US government.
