My first lost job opportunity due to being unvaccinated
WIRED Magazine approached me today to do a video segment on illusions, which could have been a lot of fun. Perhaps you’ve seen my TED talk on my grand unifying theory of illusions…
But in the very next email they said I had to be vaccinated, and is that a problem?
Yes. That’s a problem. And it would be a problem even if I were vaccinated.
I am lucky that this is the only job discrimination I have experienced due to my vaccination (non-) status, so I don’t want to overdramatize it, especially given the many folks I know who lost their job altogether due to this.
But, as you also may know, my job has been severely impacted due to my being a “denier,” such as my new ten-years-to-write book, Expressly Human, being blacklisted by mainstream media.
…and the little matter of the U.S. federal government conspiring with Big Tech social media to censor me.
The true reason for these continuing vax mandates is that it provides a political purity test.
Here’s a tweet on this…
Standing by principles and protecting oneself from the suicidal machinations of a society gone mad brings more hardship than most can bear. It's why most stay in denial and comply, it's more comfortable in there.
My spouse and I also refuse to test much less be injected with an experimental therapy we know is dangerous. That's an invasion to privacy and indignity neither of us are willing to suffer. We know they are lies and won't participate, we won't give it our voice of consent.
I'm thankful to have a partner who sees what is unfolding around us with the same clarity as I. Even though we've lost income, missed out on many opportunities to be at fun gatherings with friends and new friends to be made, even though we sometimes have had to pay a bit more for other opportunities further away where businesses and event organizers respect our privacy it's all been worth it. And if we haven't buckled under by now we never will. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone else who has held out would buckle under.
I'm pretty sure the battle lines are drawn. Which means that when (not if) authorities try to push it more aggressively again they'll probably be even more heavy-handed. And we are preparing for that. Others in the same position should be preparing for that. And taking this opportunity where the medical tyranny has eased up a little to build allies in community who will have our backs next time around and help us stand up to the bullies. Because they are coming back for us, no one should be under any illusion about that. They're just planning their next assault now. A more forceful one.
Once upon a time, progressives were very keen that medical information be private, until the Current Thing required it to be public.
