Elites care about control, not your health

Former President Ronald Reagan famously said that the nine scariest words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Today, we know he was right.

Over the last year, our government has conditioned the American people to surrender their freedom and moral convictions under the guise of public health and safety. The nation we once cherished as a stronghold for democracy has been dimmed by deception and willfully wounded by Washington elites. 

What started as a legitimate national emergency quickly evolved into a post-apocalyptic political weapon that mainstream media conglomerates and many in the scientific community used to stoke fear and churn chaos. At the same time, political opportunists seized fundamental rights that our nation has held dear since its inception. 

Millions of Americans were relegated, censored, and removed from media platforms. Data that challenged the “status quo” was quickly shot down as misinformation. Business owners were forced to close their doors and many remain closed. Today, children continue to be muzzled by compulsory masking in schools.

Americans who refuse to be inoculated by the experimental COVID-19 vaccine are portrayed as modern-day lepers. Businesses are firing their employees, colleges are denying enrollment, and customers are being refused service. 

Our leaders say they are “following the science” and public health is their “top priority,” yet they continue to peddle deception with a deadly dose of hypocrisy. 

Last year, millions of Americans were forced to cancel their celebrations and weddings while former President Barack Obama threw a birthday bash with more than 200 people at his Martha’s Vineyard mansion. Hair salons and barbershops were forced to shut their doors while Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi got her highlights done. Americans were forced to eat at home while California Gov. Gavin Newsom and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy enjoyed five-star meals at fancy eateries. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was photographed protesting in large crowds over the death of George Floyd, despite labeling anti-lockdown protests as deadly. 

In Seattle, vaccines are incentivized by free marijuana, in New York by free hamburgers, and nationwide by free Krispy Kreme doughnuts, pizza, alcohol, and large sums of money. 

Worse than the absurdity of these vaccine incentives is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest guidance calling for vaccinated Americans to wear face masks. The science can’t go both ways. 

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky continues to call the current situation “a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” yet the majority of the unvaccinated are survivors with a long-lasting natural immunity, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The American people deserve to know the truth without media malfeasance and partisan politics—they deserve the opportunity to choose for themselves what goes in their bodies without fear of job termination or mass segregation.
