Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said officials working to get more people vaccinated against Covid-19 should focus on educating people about the facts of the vaccine rather than imposing mandates forcing them to be inoculated.
“The vaccines do work,” Christie said. “Every focus group I’ve been in, Republicans who are not vaccinated, you have to walk them through the logic of this.”
Christie added that he believes many vaccine hesitant Republicans are willing to get vaccinated but “don’t want to be indoctrinated.”
The former governor said that health officials were using the wrong messaging to get people to believe in the vaccines, focusing on simply telling people to get vaccinated, rather than inspiring confidence in the science and safety of the shots.
“These folks do not respond to be ordered to do those things. It’s a sort of libertarian response to this,” Christie said, noting that he was able to convince a friend to get vaccinated using logic.
“I walked him through the facts of this and he said ‘OK, I’m going to get vaccinated.’ That’s what we need to do.”
Governor Phil Murphy attacked Christie for his comments, though he did not name him directly.
“It’s not scare tactics, we’re not trying to do that,” he responded. “We’re trying to be very blunt.”
Low vaccination rates in certain communities has also been attributed to messaging from the federal government and health officials that does not appear to be consistent with science.
For instance, many individuals in Lakewood and throughout the country are hesitant to receive a Covid-19 vaccine because they were already infected with the virus and have high levels of antibodies, which many doctors say makes the vaccine unnecessary.
Others have concerns about the safety of the vaccine; recent widely reported side effects being experienced by some inoculated against Covid-19 have caused many to worry that receiving the jab puts them at greater risk than being infected with the virus.
if the government would be transparent and follow science, people would trust them more.
there is no science showing that recovered patients should be vaccinated.
alot of doctors are recommending it saying – its a good booster – can’t hurt, we don’t know how long immunity lasts etc . . . .
those are opinions not science.
if anything – science shows it can be harmful to be vaccinated after recovering.
they are also hiding the injuries and deaths from the vaccine as much as possible.
they have one agenda and one agenda only.
get everyone vaccinated.
man woman and child.
the vaccine is failing all over the world – look at Israel
but they don’t care. just get vaccinated.
it is mind blowing people are still getting vaccinated at this point.
it is fear that is driving this.
truth and science is long gone.
informed consent is long gone.
Why are they so desperate to get everyone vaccinated? What do they gain from this agenda?
First of all, there is a lot of money to be had for the medical clinics that administer the vaccine and the governments that are able to reach certain goals. The hospitals were paid by medicare double and triple for patients diagnosed with COVID as opposed to regular flu and pneumonia, a huge incentive to raise the infection rates and create more fear and consequently vaccination rates. I have seen people in my neighborhood die soon after taking both vaccines, although they made it thru the whole pandemic without catching it. One was from sudden heart attack although he did not have any heart disease at all his whole life. There were two gedolei yisrael here in EY that died soon after the shot although they did not catch until after the shot came out in January. it was all a coincidence that they all died within a couple of weeks after the shot, before it “got a chance to work”? too many coincidences.
Now it “came back”, DO NOT take it without asking your own doctor! Mine told me not to take it at all! the children never had a problem, why are they encouraging them to get this shot?!
There is a lot more to this story, and why they want everyone to get this shot…not for this forum.
Rav Wosner from Bnei Brak came out with a psak that it’s lo saamod al dam rayacha to let children get this vaccine… He also said its more dangerous for those adults who had covid already and its ossur to coerce someone to take it.
Shalom, my Hasidic friends in Lakewood, and elsewhere:
Are you “vaccine hesitant”? So am I…and here is why:
1. Pfizer signed a contract with the US government when they had the vaccine developed, and “ready for use”. In the contract itself, it specifically states that:
“Purchaser further acknowledges that long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are NOT currently known, and that there may be adverse effects of the vaccine that are NOT currently known.”
In spite of this, every single day, Biden, Fauci, and politicians of all kinds are proclaiming not only how effective it is, but also how safe it is.
I ask you, how they can possibly know this? Are they clairvoyant? When the doctors and science people who developed it don’t know, how is it that elected officials somehow do?
2. Because safety and efficacy were NOT established (because they fast-tracked development), the companies that created the world’s first-ever mRNA vaccines were given complete immunity from any kind of legal action against them, IF the vaccine causes adverse health problems in the long term.
3. The “World’s Most Desperate Marketing Campaign”: Companies (Walmart, Amazon) are offering $75-80 “bonuses” for employees who show proof of vaccination…NJ had the “Beer and a Shot” promotion…Long Beach,California offered was offering a Marijuana joint for people to get a shot. Ohio had a vaccine lottery…”Get a shot, and get a chance to win $1M”.
4. While it may be challenged in court, for the moment, companies can “require proof of vaccination as a condition of employment”.
IF the vaccine is “95% effective” as they claim it is, then most people who have gotten the vaccine are theoretically protected against those who are not. But when people try to bribe me (which is really all these Covid “marketing campaigns” really are), that makes me strongly question the motives, especially when the entities behind the promotions are people with no medical training, or, as in the case of Fauci, have very questionable ties to the pharmaceutical industry, especially since he controls the research grant dollars, and has steered the direction of research in his field, since 1984. For these people to claim a “95% efficacy rate, very safe, few adverse effects” when the people/companies who developed it are saying “We don’t know”, is absurd.
Time will tell.
If it turns out that these vaccines are dangerous, the taxpayers will have to pay for the reckless decisions of others, since the companies were given immunity.
In the meantime, be safe, and Keep It Kosher!
From the title, I thought we were going in a good direction. Yes, no one wants to be forced, and yes, people are entitled to their opinion. But please take the following points into consideration:
–There is zero legal liability for doctors and pharmaceutical manufacturers for vaccine injury or death. This is a fact in the US since the late ’80’s.
–If natural immunity can wane (become weaker), why not vaccine immunity?!
–If the natural virus is so dangerous, why not the vaccine?! If the vaccine is safe, why not the natural virus?!
–The body has a God-given immune system, and the way to keep it working properly is everything that helps out for health in general: To eat healthfully; no white sugar (and artificial sweeteners are worse), no French fries etc, sleep well — without an alarm clock, relieve oneself daily, do some exercise, laugh etc. etc. Do you think that if you take vaccine, and don’t keep healthy you won’t get viruses?! The joke of the century.
–p.s. Not to pour salt on the wound, but doctors DO NOT learn about nutrition — that if everyone did as above, 99.9% of all medical issues would not exist. The excuse ‘I have no time to sleep well etc. – I have a job etc.’ is ludicrous. Sadly, when it comes to going to doctors, there is all the time in the world. This is not to belittle anyone who may have health issues; in the past these matters were not so well known, but they must be known, and are becoming more known over the years.
Search for a published study entitled ‘The State of Nutrition Education at US Medical Schools – Hindawi 357627′.
–Perhaps above all, the FDA did want to give Emergency Use Authorization to Dr. Zelenko’s protocol, despite his — and numerous other doctors’ — reporting phenomenal success, and despite the fact that President Trump/The White House had requested it. It was made almost impossible to get in some cities and even entire states. Then, when it came to an untested “vaccine” (which doesn’t even fit FDA criteria to be called a vaccine), the FDA gave it EUA. Why? Ostensibly because there is a “raging pandemic”, and we need every option possible to fight it. A mediation (HCQ etc.) used for 60 years with virtually no side effects — and that is still used now for other matters (in those same states), could not be administered for Covid, as it wasn’t thoroughly tested. Isn’t it obvious the FDA is the brokerage firm of Big Pharma, and made rules leaning toward the vaccine?! A former CEO of Pfizer cited a study from Japan that shows that mRNA technology weakens fertility (8in both men and women) by 16%. And the CEO of one of the manufacturers WOULD NOT TAKE IT HIMSELF! HE SAID – WHEN THE NEWS ASKED HIM – THAT HE WILL GET IT WHEN IT IS HIS TURN – HE DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE ELDERLY AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS’!!! (This was just when it came out. But they were producing millions; he couldn’t find even one extra lying around?!?! What a righteous and selfless person tah he wanted every last one to go to those who really “need” it. It’s all for the money – the investors in these companies, etc.
These are powerful points which must be taken into consideration. If you value your own life (VAERS has some 6,000 reports of death, and many times that of injuries from the Covid “vax.” and many rabbis – around the world – have signed that it is forbidden to take it, certainly not until more information is available. And AVERS is only a tiny fraction of reality.)
Not everyone is expected to now all facts – including government officials, but Big Pharma does the most lobbying of any industry – three times more than gas and oil, which is right after them, and Big Pharma is THE largest industry in the US — at $3.3 trillion per year; it is 23% of the GDP. So I’m also doing some lobbying, with respectful intentions only. We greatly respect and appreciate government, but there IS freedom of speech (still – not on social media, — because they are private companies and don’t owe anything to anyone, and can block anything they want, but the laws of freedom of speech apply to the gov. — that they cannot block it [at least as of yet – this country is careening toward Communism God willing it should not happen. The negative influence comes from the super billionaires who influence gov. and the news – they won large portions of the news etc.)
Thank you for the opportunity to express these thoughts and for taking this into consideration.
Have a great day!
