A Vaccine That Really Does Work

  • Friday, December 17, 2021
We’ve heard of the controversy surrounding “gain of function” research in Wuhan, China. That’s a term for genetically altering a virus which enhances the effects of that virus.

Beginning as a political philosophy to support social reform, progressivism over the years has become far worse. Activists observed attention, rules and money generated over “public health crises” so now they dub everything a public health crisis. That would qualify as “gain of function.”

Consider progressives’ unbridled support for the willful termination of the unborn.
We’ve seen how a progressive bureaucracy treats our veterans. Many experienced medical professionals are leaving the field as government becomes more intrusive into health care. Progressivism has become a virus creating a significant public health crisis.

It’s also creeping into the schools with the introduction of books about sexuality with vile language not tolerated in school board meetings. In Scotland, progressives allow children as young as four to alter their gender in school without parental knowledge or approval (Newsweek, Aug 12, 2021). This certainly qualifies as a public health crisis.

Don’t wish a progressive a traditional greeting for the season or give them a gift that’s likely politically incorrect. The progressives will be giving guilt for Christmas and there’s no supply chain shortage there. That’s the gift that keeps on giving all year, Clark.

Fortunately there is a vaccine for this public health crisis. Follow the science. Vote against all progressives like they did in Virginia. This is a vaccine that really does work.
