Do you remember Tommy Thompson? There aren’t many people who do. He ran for president in 2007/ 2008. He boldly promised to use America’s vast resources toward eliminating breast cancer by 2015.

If only Tommy Thompson had won the nomination and the presidency in 2008. We would have had a cure for breast cancer 8 years ago. Does anyone honestly believe that? Apparently the Republican electorate didn’t believe it too much in 2007.

He isn’t the first politician to promise a cure for cancer, and he won’t be the last. You’d think with the government’s vast resources, they actually could come up with a cure. Trillions of dollars a year is a lot of money, but we have to take care of Ukraine first.

Cancer has been around a long time, and government promises to find cures have been going on for many decades. The government funds a lot of research to supposedly cure diseases, yet I am hard pressed to think of a cure for a disease that happened because of government. You would think they would at least get lucky once in a while and find something that works on some kind of disease.

The government or private research has been unable to find a cure for the common cold. There are things you can do and take to perhaps lessen the severity of a cold or prevent it from happening in the first place, but even these claims are hard to prove.

And the things that actually do seem to be a little bit effective at helping to get rid of a cold are healthy foods, healthy habits, and supplements. They aren’t things that are made in a lab, with or without government funding.

COVID “Vaccines”

This is an illustration on why it is so preposterous to think that the government funded research that came up with a “safe and effective” vaccine for COVID in the matter of months.

The COVID vaccines were conveniently declared a success right after the election had been decided (or called by the media) against Trump in November 2020. But the world was shut down for COVID in March 2020.

Are we supposed to believe that the pharmaceutical companies, with funding from government, came up with an effective vaccine against a coronavirus in the matter of 8 months?

Of course, anyone paying attention now knows that the so-called vaccines are not safe and they definitely aren’t effective. If anything, the sick people in our society seem to come more from the vaccinated population.

But if anyone had just thought about all of the promises to cure diseases over the years, they should have realized that a magical quick cure for stopping COVID was a dream at best.

It was certainly a fantasy for anyone to believe that COVID vaccines stopped transmission.

How Did We Know?

There are some public figures who are now admitting that the vaccines were not what we were sold. It is like trying to still defend the Iraq War and saying that Iraq really did have weapons of mass destruction. Some people see the writing on the wall and don’t want to look ridiculous fighting a losing battle.

But some of these people say that we just couldn’t know at that time. The problem is that some people did know. Or they at least knew that the vaccines and the propaganda used to sell them shouldn’t be trusted.

I could never guarantee at the beginning that the vaccines wouldn’t be effective. I also couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t be safe (i.e, there wouldn’t be significant adverse effects).

I knew that I couldn’t trust the establishment media, and I couldn’t trust anyone in a position of power in the federal government. I also couldn’t trust the so-called experts who get their funding from the government.

So maybe nobody really knew that the vaccines would be unsafe and ineffective, but many of us did know not to trust the people telling us they were safe and effective. Many of us knew that politicians and government bureaucrats have made many promises before that were untrue.

Some of us also realized that it was far too short of a timeframe to properly test these shots, and I can remember some people pointing out that there has never been a successful vaccine for a coronavirus before.

Advocating Force

The other major problem with the excuse makers now is that they advocated for the use of force against others. At the very least, when they were talking about how wonderful the vaccines were at the time, they weren’t saying that it should be a person’s choice whether to take them.

There were a few people who said that, but most of the enthusiastic promoters of the COVID jabs were people who seemed to have little problem with forcing people to take it.

Now they’ll just use the excuse, “But how could we have known?”

Well, first, you could have stopped censoring people who had a different viewpoint. You could have paid attention to people who were warning about the dangers of the COVID jabs.

But beyond that, why was the burden of proof ever on us to show that the jabs weren’t safe or effective? We aren’t the ones who were trying to use force.

It was Biden and company who tried to force about 100 million Americans to get jabbed or not be allowed to work. It is still stunning to this day to think about this. But half the country went along with it. The vaccine enthusiasts, for the most part, weren’t sticking up for the rights of the minority.

Perhaps the only reason the non-vaccinated make up the minority is because so many people were compelled to get the shots or were propagandized with fear and didn’t want to be shut out from society.

No Excuses

There is no excuse for advocating force. If these were moral people, they wouldn’t have been ok with the government forcing these shots on people. Even if you were stupid or ignorant and thought the COVID shots were great, it was immoral to force that on others.

If the COVID shots worked so well, then why do you need to force it on people? People would voluntarily line up to get it. Plus, if it stops infection and transmission, then it shouldn’t matter to you if others don’t get it. That would be their problem.

So while ignorance and stupidity played a big role in pushing the COVID shots, the biggest issue is one of morality. In a moral society, nobody would have been trying to force these injections on others.

There are still many people who just love their COVID shots and will defend how wonderful they are until the day they die. Some people have started to admit that they aren’t that wonderful after all, but it is because they are changing their opinions with the shifting wind. They still won’t offer a sincere apology for spreading misinformation while degrading those of us who were spreading the correct information.

I don’t want any excuses on why someone got it wrong. They have to admit they were wrong and not make up excuses for it, and they need to offer a sincere apology. They also need to admit that they were morally wrong if they did not defend the right of people to not take the shots.

For the people at the top who tried to force these shots on people, they should be held criminally liable. They killed people and ruined many lives, and there is no excuse.
