Joe Bidens own Delaware homies hit back hard at vaccine mandates

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Hundreds of Delaware medical professionals and their supporters are bucking a mandate from the state’s largest hospital that all employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment â€" and they’re even considering a mass exodus that would leave the medical facility severely and suddenly understaffed.

These are President Joe Biden’s home state people. These are the people â€" the Delaware health professionals â€" the leftists in the political world would have it believed who unconditionally support White House-pushed, White House-backed vaccination mandates.

Apparently not.

But more than that, these are the front-line healthcare workers who know best, because they see first, all the potential hazards of taking a vaccine that’s only been approved for emergency use.

And what are they seeing?

“They are underreporting the adverse effects,” said Patty Stewart, a former employee at Christiana Hospital who joined in the protest of the vaccine mandate over the weekend, DelawareOnline.com reported.

Seems a valid point. So does the one about free choice.

“I don’t want the vaccine because who knows [if] it will kill me first,” said Donna Woudstra, a former nursing home worker, DelawareOnline.com reported.

The protest caught the eye of national press.

“My body, my choice,” one protest sign read.

“Vaccine mandates violate Nuremberg Code,” another protest sign read, in reference to the post-Nazi Germany document that guides ethical scientific practices and bars the use of humans for medical experimentation.

ChristianaCare, the company running the Christiana Hospital, said the vaccine mandates are due to rising delta variant counts and the shots are completely safe and effective.

“We did not make the decision about the vaccine policy lightly,” the company put out, in an official statement.

“Our decision is based on science and facts about the vaccine,” the company also said, in its statement.

“The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and approved. They are not experimental,” the company additionally said, in its statement.

Well and good; fine and dandy. 

But there’s still this thing called free choice â€" the freedom to choose for one’s self whether or not to take part in a particular medical treatment.

And hundreds of medical professionals in Joe Biden’s own home state of Delaware are exercising that right â€" to the point even of losing their jobs, of quitting their jobs, of being fired from their jobs for non-compliance.

Kudos to these health officials for putting it all on the line for all of America to see and consider.

Thumbs-down to the hospital pinheads for pushing a no-choice option on an experimental shot â€" and yes, it is experimental at this point because a) it’s not fully approved and b) nobody â€" Nobody! â€" knows the long-term effects. It’s not been around long enough for long-term studies to be conducted.

But where is all this headed? Where are the “I am zee law” versus pro-individual choice, pro-critical thinking, pro-American fights headed?

To a face-off, for sure.

And for God-given rights to ultimately reign, it’s going to take more brave employees standing up to more bureaucratic employers and demanding rights to choose.

That’s the only way out of this coronavirus clampdown mess: to put it all on the line and insist government shills get back in its subservient-to-the-people box â€" and to take those unconstitutional vaccine mandates with them.
