Health officials tell us to not be discouraged by vaccine side-effects and that we should be vaccinated despite them.

Oh, wait.  Do they mean there are negative side effects?

In the northeast Ohio Fairless Local School District, teachers lined up for their first round of COVID-19 injections just two days ago.  So many teachers had adverse reactions to the shots that the district canceled classes.

Fox News in Navarre, Ohio reported that the closures were due to "many developing side effects and becoming ill."

Medical "experts" who are administering the vaccines there said that they are not surprised that many people are getting sick, claiming that this is normal for any vaccine.

The medical director of the Stark County Health Department, Dr. Maureen Ahmann, is encouraged: "I am not surprised if people are having some of the reactions like that to the vaccine.  In fact, it's kind of good news because we know they are responding."

"Sometimes we see it after the first dose, sometimes we see it after the second dose.  I had my second dose last week and had a 103 fever the next day.  Although I would much rather have a 103 fever for 24 hours than COVID-19 for two weeks," she said.

Summit County health commissioner Donna Skoda assured the still unvaccinated that the adverse reactions are "no reason to not take a vaccine."  Nevertheless, over 20 percent of teachers have refused the vaccine.

Skoda further encouraged going ahead with vaccination no matter what:

Feeling uncomfortable and having a headache is nowhere near what COVID can do to you and if you are fortunate enough in this vaccine shortage, to be able to have a vaccine offered to you, you should take it and put up with whatever side effects you have.

Huh?  I should roll the dice with my health and be happy if I get a 103-degree fever?

What is wrong with this picture?

First, the concept of "informed consent" is completely thrown out the window.  Now it's good to get sick from the vaccine because it shows that it is working.  Really?  What medical scientist ever documented such a thing?  What Big Pharma vaccine-maker ever put that in its marketing propaganda?

Second, the soft-shoe shuffle panders to the unvaccinated to just forget all the other people getting vaccine-harmed and hurry up to get their own shot.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

This is the polar opposite of "informed consent."  It is actually misleading the public to ignore in-your-face adverse reactions, what exactly they are, and what they can do your health.

What has really happened here is that logic has utterly failed.  It's reminiscent of Orwell's Ministry of Truth in 1984, where "freedom is slavery" and "ignorance is strength."  In this scenario, we are told that "getting sick is healthy."

Lest you think the above report is limited to a small county in Ohio, think again.  This is the standard propaganda throughout America and even the rest of the world.

Don't worry that the government's own vaccine injury database lists 10,748 injuries and 501 deaths as of February 5.  Statistically, this represents only about 1 percent of adverse events, so the actual numbers could be as high as 1,000,000 injuries and 50,000 deaths.

Skeptical organizations who lobby for true "informed consent" are being censored and suppressed into oblivion: Children's Health Defense; Sherri Tenpenny, D.O.; Joseph Mercola, D.O.; the National Vaccine Information Center; America's Frontline Doctors; Russell Blaylock, M.D., to name a few.

In short, the information is in abundance, but Big Tech censorship refuses to let the public have uncensored access to it.  This narrative has trickled down to local health departments, who are actually telling people, "Don't worry — it's good if you get sick from the vaccine because it shows that it's working, and in any case, it's for the greater good."

Yes, this is twisted logic.  The sound of mind must reject it outright and stand their mental ground.

When logic fails, informed consent means nothing.
