Surgeon General To Monitor People Claiming Exemptions From Vaccination Mandate

This isn’t creepy in the least. And adds another layer to the unconstitutionality of Sleepy Joe’s mandate

Surgeon general: US to ‘monitor’ whether vaccine exemptions being used properly

Bill Of RightsU.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has advised that the Biden administration will “monitor” to ensure no one abuses COVID-19 vaccine exemptions.

President Biden last week announced a mandate that required any company with at least 100 employees to mandate its workforce. The only way to avoid the mandate is to claim an exemption on either religious or medical grounds.

Some critics argue that the exemptions allow for simple abuse, but Murthy insists the administration will ensure that does not happen.

“Unfortunately, as a country, we have experience in dealing with exemptions, but we’ve got to be vigilant there and make sure that people are using them, you know, in the spirit that they’re intended and not abusing them or asking for exemptions when they don’t apply,” Murthy told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “That’s an area that we continue to monitor in the days and weeks ahead.”

There are really only two exemptions: medical and religious. Is the Surgeon General claiming that all exemptions must be reported to Los Federales, be that his office or OSHA, the latter being the agency that is reportedly going to pass the emergency rule, for Approval? We all know how speedy most government agencies are. And what if you’re turned down? Will there be measures in place to appeal? Do you get to discuss this with whomever turns you down? This all seems rather intrusive in one’s life, does it not, the very definition of Big Government? Seems rather Fascist.

A more important question in all this is from where does OSHA, and the Surgeon General if involved, get the statutory authority to require Citizens to prove their religion for exemption? There’s two simple answers: either it comes from a law passed by Congress or they are making this mandate rule with zero authority. If the latter, then it’s easy to shoot down in a lawsuit, especially since it is rather arbitrary in picking 100+ as the size. If it is the former, then they run into a little thing called the 1st Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” Literally the first passage makes it so that Congress cannot make a law prohibiting the free exercise thereof. It was important enough for those who wrote the Bill of Rights to make this first. They did not like how the Church of England was involved in the running of government and their lives, that they weren’t free to practice their own religious beliefs.

As such, requiring Citizens to prove their religion, and potentially denying them their religious beliefs, violates the Constitution. If OSHA’s authority comes from a law, then it’s the letter of the 1st being violated. And, sure, many could be scamming the government, but, the government has not authority to say otherwise. Most states have this in their Constitutions, as well. Precedent, previous rulings, they matter not at all in the face of the actual text.

Plus, this is very creepy in an authoritarian sort of way.

(Fox News) However, Murthy insists the vaccine mandate is legally sound.

“Certainly this wouldn’t have been put forward if the president or the administration didn’t believe that it was an appropriate legal measure to take, and I believe it is so based on the authority that Congress has actually given under the OSHA Act,” Murthy argued on ABC’s “This Week.”

“This is an appropriate action, we believe, and it certainly, from a public health perspective, most importantly, will help keep workers safe and that will ultimately help our economy as well,” he said.

Murthy tried to stress that the mandate is focused “on areas where the federal government has legal authority to act.”

“This is the next step … in a series of steps that have to be taken to help protect our country from COVID-19 and help us get through this pandemic,” Murthy said.

Boy howdy, the Sleepy Joe admin had Murthy all over trying to defend this, eh? Perhaps he should have been asked what the exact authority is? And, if that’s the case, why it doesn’t violate the 1st.

    No, this isn’t creepy at all!

    So, let’s say that someone claims a religious exemption, saying that he’s Catholic and the vaccines were derived from aborted fetal T-Cell lines. Now, how will the Feds monitor him? Will they send the FBI to watch his house on Sunday morning, to see if, and how frequently, he attends Mass? Will they monitor his bank account, to see how much he donates to the Church, assuming that he does by check, the way most people do?

    Hardly unprecedented, as Reichsstatthalter Andy Beshear (NSDAP-KY) sent the Staatspolizei to take down license plate and VIN numbers from cars parked in church parking lots, in defiance of his Führerbefehle ordering churches closed, on Easter Sunday of 2020.

    But the left? They’re perfectly OK with this, aren’t they?

    An Epidemiologist who develops vaccines for animals predicted that the mRNA vaccines would not work.

    Why?

    Polio, Measles, Small pox were all introduced into a population that was not facing a P A N D E M I C. Yes each disease was around but it was not a pandemic.

    The current crop of vaccines are all being introduced into a pandemic setting and as a result the virus itself is mutating to keep itself relevant. There are far more variants than the original and delta. Its just the delta is the most prevalent right now, showing considerable break through.

    I can testify to that. My wife, Daughter, Son in Law and 3 grandchildren all tested positive for the Delta variant in a matter of days. I was the last because my wife exposed me to the virus and I have had Covid, have had the J&J shot and now I got Covid again.

    The reality is that nations who use Ivermechtin routinely are showing better progress at fighting this disease with NO VACCINES than in the EU, UK and the USA…ignore Canada, Australia and New Zealand since they have been locked down for 2 years now.

    Monoclonal antibodies are only available for those at risk….morbidity or age being the major one and they once again do not prevent the disease but mostly just make it less severe.

    I am debating if I should get an Anti-body infusion right now since this delta is knocking me on my butt and I am still within the window for it to be effective.

    https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/measles/data/global-measles-outbreaks.html

    Aug 12, 2021 · Measles outbreaks are declared when the number of cases reported in an area is higher than the expected number of cases. ******COVID-19 is increasing the risk of measles outbreaks.***** Almost 41 countries have already put off, or may put off, their measles campaigns for 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    We have killed ourselves.

    NPR REPORTS:

    The Campaign To Wipe Out Polio Was Going Really Well … Until It Wasn’t
    October 30, 2020

    When the Global Polio Eradication Initiative began in 1988, roughly 350,000 kids a year were paralyzed by the virus. By 2016 that number had been driven down to 42 cases of any type of polio anywhere in the world.

    FRICKEN AWESOME

    Polio Bounces Back Because Of Rogue Viruses, Lockdowns And The Taliban

    So far this year officials have tallied more than 200 cases of wild polio and nearly 600 cases of the vaccine-derived form of the disease. Most of the vaccine-derived strains of polio are in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but now these rogue strains of polio are also turning up across much of sub-Saharan Africa, Yemen, Malaysia and the Philippines.

    WHAT IS HAPPENING?

    FUKKI LIED. China just released 100’s of documents showing that the USA was funding Gain of Function Research in Wuhan. They evidently were attempting to help their puppet whom they love for his generous contributions to the CCP of china but instead they implicated him and proved he LIED to Congress under oath.

      Many thanks to my assistant for helping me get this Information to you.

      According to the CDC the death toll from Covid-19 is an interesting stat.

      The CDC’s own website shows that those who have died (From Covid) have an AVERAGE of FOUR(4) Co-MORBIDITIES.

      The problem for the rest of us who BELIEVE OURSELVES HEALTHY are actually NOT!

      WE are perfect candidates to be ravished into the ground by this virus because we eat processed foods that pack on the pounds and give us Morbidity.

      A dentist in the early 1900’s noticed that more and more people were developing CAVITIES. So he embarked on a 10 year travel to a dozen countries around the world and found that most of these countries had not only PERFECT TEETH BUT NO CAVITIES.

      Why? His conclusion was the countries that fared well did not eat processed food and those that did not fare well consumed large proportions of processed food.

      In short this is stifled information by Dentists, doctors and our own corporations whose sole function is to use you for guinea pigs for PROFIT by feeding you terrible and unhealthy food that keeps doctors, dentists and Corporations FAT and SASSY.

      In other news from the CDC. An interesting study of CHILDREN and MASKS showed they did almost no good in preventing the spread because children are undisciplined and rub their eyes, nose and mouth at least several hundred times per day.

      But no one reports on this because the left wants you MASKED. Why? I can only conclude that It is the Swastika for the left. It is the cross for the left. It is a powerful symbol telling you to be afraid.

      I am sick right now with the Delta and I am not afraid. My symptoms, loss of smell, aches, headache, no fever, Stuffy nose and then runny nose, coughing, off and on sore throat. It is like the worst cold I have ever had with an expected course of two weeks.

      We have allowed ourselves to be killed off by greedy bastards. The left who used to hate and attack corporations have now become their bedfellows as the right chooses to see the truth for what it is. In the end. It will not matter because huge dollars stuffed in pockets are preventing us from receiving all the treatment we could for PROFIT.

      In the end we will all die from Covid because as I indicated elsewhere it is bringing back Measles, Mumps and Polio due to lack of vaccinations as the world focuses on Covid-19.

      Radical? I hope I am full of shit but I am paid to predict what will actually happen based upon prevailing evidence around the world. We collate information and try to make sense of it.

    We’re still trying to understand the religious exemption to vaccinations.

    Regarding vaccines being derived from aborted fetal cells, perhaps education is the answer.

    Were the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines developed using fetal
    cell lines?
    The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna do not require the use of any fetal cell cultures in order to manufacture (produce) the vaccine.
    Early in the development of mRNA vaccine technology, fetal cells were used for “proof of concept” (to demonstrate how a cell could take up mRNA and produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike
    protein) or to characterize the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

    (Note: Human cells are used because the viruses are human specific. Fetal cells continue to replicate for more generations and can be stored frozen. Cancer cells can also be used. The two current cell lines used were either from aborted or miscarried fetuses.)

    Was the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen Pharmaceuticals) COVID-19 vaccine developed using fetal cell lines? The non-replicating viral vector vaccine produced by Johnson & Johnson did require the use of fetal cell cultures, specifically PER.C6 (retinal cell line that was isolated from an aborted fetus in 1985), in order to produce and manufacture the vaccine.

    The Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission have both
    stated that receiving a COVID-19 vaccine that required fetal cell lines for production or
    manufacture is morally acceptable. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops goes further and
    has stated: “receiving a COVID-19 vaccine ought to be understood as an act of charity toward
    the other members of our community. In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19
    should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the
    common good…Given the urgency of this crisis, the lack of available alternative vaccines, and the
    fact that the connection between an abortion that occurred decades ago and receiving a vaccine
    produced today is remote.

      Regarding vaccines being derived from aborted fetal cells, perhaps education is the answer.

      From your own source:

      In various stages of vaccine development and manufacturing, some of the COVID-19 vaccines
      used cells originally isolated from fetal tissue (often referred to as fetal cells), some of which
      were originally derived from an aborted fetus.

      And:

      The fetal cell lines being used to produce some of the potential COVID-19 vaccines are from two
      sources:
      ● HEK-293: A kidney cell line that was isolated from a fetus in 1973 (undisclosed origin,
      from either a spontaneous miscarriage or an elective abortion)
      ● PER.C6: A retinal cell line that was isolated from an aborted fetus in 1985

      Despite what you are trying to say, your own source contradicts you.

      The vaccines were derived from aborted fetal cells, but as you state, the vaccines do not require more aborted fetal cells for the manufacture of the vaccine.

      One must wonder whether you pulled a “Hairy” here and don’t understand what you said and your source said, or whether you deliberately tried to troll the site with lies.

      Either way, your position is contrary to facts but that disdain for facts from the left is not unusual.

      After all, all the left has is hate.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        gitarcarver may have missed the conclusions from the Catholic Church and Southern Baptists.

        Anyway, this was all explained in the attached citation. We even noted that the cells were from an aborted fetus.

        But after all, all gitarcarver has is hate. And dishonesty.

        But gitarcarver has always been a slippery eel.

        • gitarcarver says:

          No, I didn’t miss them. However, it is interesting that you use organizations and people that you hate to try and support your lies.

          We even noted that the cells were from an aborted fetus.

          Actually, you didn’t. You cut and pasted a section that says nothing about the vaccines being derived from aborted fetus cells. Your statement of ” perhaps education is the answer” definitely shows that you were trying to claim that the vaccine was not derived from aborted fetus cells. If you were agreeing with the facts and another poster, you would have included that in the citation.

          You got caught. As is often the case, you were more willing to lie and present a false narrative than be honest. We all know that is because you hate people on the right and hate facts so you live in that hate.

          So thanks for proving your hatred.

          After all, it is all that you have.

    “We’re still trying to understand the religious exemption to vaccinations.”

    You don’t need to since Religious Freedom does not require you to either understand nor agree.

    BTW, quoting leftist publications and the opinions of Fallen Catholics is really not convincing.

    Is there some unwritten rule that we must endure fake vaccinations during fake presidencies? I know we live in a time when the political left redefines words daily to fit its desired propaganda objectives, but if “vaccine” now means nothing more than “an injection that may or may not prevent illness so long as the subject remains in sterilized environments and wrapped in protective headwear,” then that’s hardly different from defining “bulletproof vest” as “a garment that may or may not prevent bodily harm, so long as the wearer curls up in the fetal position and hides from danger.”
