I can’t help but wonder if the sudden incessant push for mandating vaccination in healthcare settings has to do with one last chance to claim vaccines saved the world. if you can force the final 25+% of healthcare workers to be vaccinated then (1) you lose both the control group for which we could compare real world efficacy and long term safety data (2) you can claim vaccines are the reason we no longer need to mask up and (3) you can claim natural immunity will never be enough so we must also mandate boosters for HCWs. this is a bad scenario. as long as there is a control group of unvaccinated HCWs who evade symptomatic infection by SARSCoV2 (because they already possess cellular immunity), then there remains a threat to the “vaccine is the only way of escape” narrative. as long as naturally immune people live life unmasked and have rates of infection no different than vaccinated, then they threaten the “my mask protect you” narrative. as long as there is a control group of unvaccinated individuals, there remains a threat to the possibility of noticing long term safety signals of vaccination. the naturally immune unvaccinated are the biggest threat to the Covidian narrative. as an unvaccinated naturally immune healthcare worker providing anesthesia to COVID+ patients during surgery, this is the hill on which I will die fighting.

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
