Currently before Congress is H.R. 4980 which calls for a permanent no-fly grounding for the unvaccinated. H.R. 4980 directs, “the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure that any individual traveling on a flight that departs from or arrives to an airport inside the United States or a territory of the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID–19, and for other purposes.”
I believe in health freedom. You know your body. You know what’s best for it. If you feel that the vaccine is best for your body, great. If you don’t, that’s great too. I believe this is a personal choice. Our Founding Fathers believed that the individual’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were worth fighting for, giving their all for, dying for.
We need to understand that forcing people to get a vaccine is different than the vaccine itself. You can be pro-vaccine. You can think it’s the best thing in the world. But forcing it on people is an entirely different matter. Whether you’ve had the vax or not, it’s important that we all stand up for freedom.
Of all the things we can own in life, our bodies are the most central. Our bodies were given to us by God at birth. That’s an inalienable right bequeathed to us by our Creator. Our bodies do not belong to society or to government. Just ask the Jews in the Holocaust or the people experimented on by that heinous regime. They had no say in the matter.
Forcing an entire populace to take a foreign substance into their bodies is morally wrong. This is a dangerous precipice. We set a precedent by doing this which will wreak havoc on our liberties. You might say, well this is just the same as making children be vaccinated before they go to school. It is NOT. At least parents can choose to homeschool. And nothing prevents parents from taking their unvaccinated children or teens on a plane or being able to buy or sell or go in public (like would happen with the vaccine passport).
