FULL-COURT-PRESS by the Press on Maine's freedom advocates...LD 798: Despite, resistance from the people, will probably pass.

in #vaccines5 years ago

This is SAD. The people of Maine came out in their hundreds ten days ago and stood around for hours while the medical "professionals" and their pharmaceutical-company allies filled the hearing room with their biased point of view on the need to FORCE others to accept their injections from 1PM until 8PM... Then, finally, after some of the legislators were already falling asleep or going home, the anti-VAXXing community got their chance and made their case from 8PM to around 2AM the next morning.

In the wake of all that, we are still waiting for a date on the committee's work session to take up the U.N.s bill: LD 798...an act to eliminate religious and conscientious objections for people in Maine to mandatory vaccination. There is some hope that amendments might soften the blow to some degree once that happens, but DESPITE MORE THAN 2/3 of the people in attendance at last week's hearing being clearly opposed to taking away parental rights v.v. vaccination, it looks like the majority of the committee has already drunk the big-pharma Kool-aide (or taken the campaign monies or future promises) and will vote against the people.

As for Maine's so-called mainstream media (most daily papers are owned by Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Portland's husband) all you need to is google "maine LD 798" to see the major role they are playing RIGHT NOW in setting up the people and the fence sitters to believe that LD 798 has broad support. Check out these first few Google results!!:

THOSE ARE THE TOP NINE RESULTS.

Finally, when you get down to the 10th result, you get one that is pro-choice. So, any Mainer Googling would come away with the OBVIOUSLY-MANUFACTURED impression that pro-VAXXERS somehow "won" the debate last week, when nothing could be further to the truth.

Welcome to Orwell's memory hole.

Welcome to FORCED VACCINATION.

Welcome to a totalitarian nightmare.
