Christian Medical Doctor Against Religious Exemption
Unfair to Atheists and Agnostics
In context, this medical doctor, a UCLA anesthesiologist, a parishioner of my Grandpa Mather’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel church in Ventura County, would not take the controversial “vaccine” 2021. He was offered a “religious exemption.” He refused because he had commonsense objections to the “vaccine” mandate that stemmed from the basics of Bioethics: Informed Consent.
Informed Consent.
Informed Consent was missing in the “vaccine” mandate, and hence it was unethical by the most basic of Bioethics standards. This would be inappropriate to couch as a “religious” objection, even it it would put him on firmer legal footing (that whole First Amendment trump card and all).
It’s not fair to atheists and agnostics. It’s not fair to anyone to make them take an experimental therapeutic to keep their job.
Why do I say “therapeutic”?
“Vaccine” means that when you take it, you gain immunity and you don’t pass it on to others. That’s not what these dosages even claimed to do. They were clearly labeled as experimental. The emergency authorization, by federal law, was only allowed if there were no less invasive , effective therapeutic treatment protocols. There were, therefore the emergency authorization was illegal under federal law. There was enormous pressure to cover up the fact that there were effective treatment protocols for early onset for most age groups—something like in the high 90 percentile of cases if these protocols were started early.
The “vaccine” was touted as a drug that worsened the severity of the illness. That’s the definition of a therapeutic, not a vaccine.
These medical doctors, thousands of them, were pushing back on one of the worst medical tyrannies we’ve seen ever in American history.
One of the most amazing political come-backs in world history, the re-election of President Trump, is all the more astounding considering that he presided over the first phase of this tyranny, and yet during his time of persecution, prosecution, and alienation in the wilderness of MaraLago, he repented, and won over the opposition formed against him. He went to great lengths to reach out to former opponents, even Democrats, to achieve the politics of addition rather than subtraction, with the addition of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the MAHA movement.
Definition of vaccine versus therapeutic. Don’t forget it for the future. Check out this episode hosted by Dr. Mark McDonald (UCLA, Psychiatry) and Dr. Jeff Barke (UC Irvine, Internal Medicine), the latter of whom was a guest on The Republican Professor podcast in Fall 2023.
