IT'S CRUNCH TIME.

It's time to show up.

It's time to talk about this issue in our communities, in our families, and in the workplace. How can we expect to be heard if we aren't willing to walk the walk and the talk?

This is a very slippery slope, when we allow government to dictate what we must put in our bodies, when we allow government to withhold constitutionally-protected rights and privileges until we do what they say.

They started out using moral, "greater good" arguments: get vaccinated to protect the community as a whole.

Then they said they would prevent your children from receiving a free, public education.

Now, they are starting to make vaccination a condition of employment. You could be fired if you don't comply.

And the fact is, they don't really want to engage us about it: "Just get your damn vaccine."

It doesn't take a particularly creative mind to see where this could be going next. Prevented from getting life and health insurance? Boarding a plane? Receiving life-saving medical treatment?

You think that it doesn't affect you? Think again. Healthcare workers are now on the front lines. Teachers, police, social workers are likely to be next. And you can be sure that we have more pandemics in our future. They're good for business.
