spoken like a true dictator

"I understand and we all understand how people do not like to be told what to do, they want to make their own choice and their own free will, I get that and I respect that, but these are unusual times... I would prefer and we all would  prefer that people would be voluntarily getting vaccinated, but if they're not going to do that, sometimes you gotta do things that are unpopular, but that clearly supersede individual choices."

-Dr Anthony Fauci, "I am the science," Dictator, appearing on MSNBC today

You want to know why people don't want to get vaccinated?  You want to know why people have no trust in the government?   You want to know why people think this is all a conspiracy to rob us of our liberty?

This is why.  

Censorship on social media is why.

55 years to release data is why.

and I could go on and on.

So when do we start holding people down and giving them the jab whether they like it or not... for the greater good, of course? 

It's always for the greater good that these things start.  

Where they end, well, that's another story.

  1. Do the Sheva Mitzvos B'nei Noach not also impede (if not rob) people of their liberty to lead their life as they choose, w/out regard for society/the community around them?

    1. Sure they do. So my mistake -- I said Fauci is a dictator. You are comparing him to G-d Almighty.

  2. C. S. Lewis

    “Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under the omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

  3. Just because the media and government have done a bad job doesn't change the underlying reality - everyone needs to get vaccinated.
    You could be in a burning building. It could be that the owner of the building first denied the fire, then mismanaged it but when the fireman comes to haul you out, it's pretty dumb to point those thing out and ask if you really need to exit.
