An adjunct math professor gave this public response to the Covid vaccination booster shot requirement at Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts in January this year. The email is addressed to the Human Resources VP. In response, his scheduled spring class was taken and his school internet account has been locked.

Dear
{Human Resources VP},
In
response to the university’s request for proof of a booster shot, I will not be
complying with the demand.
Attached
is my Statement of Refusal, containing a full explanation, somewhat hastily
prepared and apologies for the incomplete reference citations (I will be happy
to provide any of them to anyone who requests them).
In short,
here are the reasons for my refusal to comply with the booster mandate,
detailed in the Statement:
1. The demand for private medical information is
illegitimate and, I believe, illegal.
2. The demand to submit to injection of an
experimental drug, none of which are FDA approved (the Pfizer Comirnaty, the
only one that is FDA approved, is not being given in the U.S.), is unethical,
immoral, illegitimate and in my opinion unconstitutional.
3. The present national state-of-health is a
pandemic of the vaccinated -- not a
pandemic of the unvaccinated.
4. The mRNA vaccines and booster shots are
harmful, capable of causing death and a host of disabling medical conditions.
5. The mRNA vaccines and booster shots provide an
accelerating deterioration of the immune system, which explains the alarming
number of deaths and severe medical conditions climbing throughout the US
population.
6. The vaccine mandates are a precursor to the
establishment of an authoritarian tide sweeping the western democracies, for
which the first step is a digitized medical passport that will be used to
control the ability of citizens to participate in normal social and civic
activities.
Finally, I have taken the liberty
of making this response public because of the extreme seriousness of this
issue. I assume full responsibilities for the consequences. I understand that
posting this publicly will irritate many in our community, and I apologize in
advance to any who take offense at having to see this email in their
inboxes.
Thank you.
MC
STATEMENT OF
REFUSAL
Jan. 14, 2022
With all due respect, I will not comply with the demand for the
booster shot. I believe Covid vaccine mandates are unethical, immoral and
unlawful, and FSU is engaging in illegal discrimination in requiring them. The
Supreme Court has just shot down the OSHA, 100+ employee vaccine mandate.
No one has the right to demand information about my medical
history -- let alone require me to inject a drug that is not a vaccine in any
conventional meaning of the word. It doesn’t prevent getting Covid, nor does it
prevent spreading the infection, as evidenced by the huge proportion of the
vaccinated among the newly-infected with the Omicron variant.
There are zero long-term studies of the adverse effects of these
experimental “vaccines.” But there is mounting data on known serious and fatal
adverse reactions... all for a virus
with a fatality rate of at most 0.5% for those under 65 and 0.008% for our
students aged 20-24. That translates to 1 fatality per 12,500 students who
potentially contract Covid (and for younger students under 20 the fatality rate
is a miniscule 0.003%, corresponding to 1 fatality per 33,333). Flipping the
percents gives survival rates of 99.5% for 60-64 year-olds, 99.992% for 20-24
year-olds, and 99.997% for those under 20.[1]
The choice of whether or not to vaccinate is not a straightforward
one-to-one comparison between the health risks associated with contracting
Covid versus the probability of an adverse reaction from the vaccine -- it is
(1) the probability of contracting the virus multiplied by (2) the rate of serious consequences from the virus, measured
against the probability of suffering a serious heart condition, paralysis, blood
clot, fertility problem, damage to the immune system etc. or even death, after
taking the jab.
Regardless, navigating between the two choices is a decision that
is mine and mine alone to make. Not a teachers’ union, not a college president
-- nor a mayor, governor, president or bureaucrat such as Anthony Fauci, Rochelle
Walensky or Francis Collins.
We are a constitutional republic, and only our elected
representatives have the power to legislate such an edict.
None of the vaccines being administered in the U.S. have been FDA
approved. The only one that has, Pfizer’s Comirnaty,
is not being used here.[2] Rather, it is the BioNTech vaccine (which is
not FDA approved), the precursor to Comirnaty, that is injected into the arms
of Americans.
Current news reports of Covid infections, hospitalizations or
deaths often no longer include the breakdown of vaccinated versus unvaccinated,
because the truth of the vaccine’s effectiveness is an embarrassment to the
vaccine mandate narrative. The New York Times however, provides an exception.
In their “The Morning” email news blast on Jan. 11 they led with evidence of a
growing gap in cases, hospitalizations and deaths between the vaccinated and
the “unvaccinated” since the emergence of Omicron in December, using data sets
from Seattle and New York City. In fact, what their report actually provides is
a textbook example of the abuse of statistics.
“Lies, damn lies and statistics,” is the famous quote usually
attributed to Mark Twain but reputedly borrowed from British Prime Minister
Benjamin Disraeli – and the NYT produced a whopper of an example. In each of 6
graphs below, curves of “unvaccinated” lie above (i.e., more of)) curves for
the vaccinated, and show a marked uptick when Omicron emerged in December. Five
out of the 6 show an extremely steep rise in the “unvaccinated” curves.
“The Morning,” New York
Times email blast, Jan. 11, 2022
Why is ‘unvaccinated’ in quotes, but not ‘vaccinated,’ you might
ask?
The labels on the curves are not “unvaccinated” and “vaccinated” –
they are “not fully vaccinated” and
“vaccinated.” Without a definition for “not fully vaccinated” the data is
meaningless. Clearly, if the comparison were between those who have taken a
vaccine shot and those who have not, the first label would be “unvaccinated” –
not, “not fully vaccinated.”
Who are included in the deceptive substitute for “unvaccinated”?
Those who got their double-dose of Pfizer but haven’t yet taken the booster?
Those who haven’t had any shot in say, the past 30 days? Who knows? One thing
is it clear, it must include some
people who have taken at least one vaccine shot – otherwise there is no need
for the “not fully…” qualifier.
Statistical chicanery such as this is used to justify President
Biden’s continued assertion that this is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” That
is a lie. We are now in the “pandemic of the vaccinated” phase. The vast majority of patients contracting the
Omicron variant are vaccinated.
This fact alone invalidates the justification for the vaccine and
booster mandates. If anything, the unvaccinated are at risk from the
vaccinated. The vaccine does not
prevent getting the virus and doesn’t prevent transmission of the virus.
Period.
Unfortunately, this is not the worst of it.

The vaccines are repeatedly called “safe and effective.” They are
neither. Not only are they manifestly ineffective, they are dangerous.
The following file contains links to 1,000 peer-reviewed studies
showing harmful effects of the vaccines:
https://www.saveusnow.org.uk/covid-vaccine-scientific-proof-lethal/
Not only does the mandate leave FSU open for a discrimination
lawsuit, the deadly effects of the vaccines puts the school in much more
serious legal jeopardy. Since 1986 Big Pharma has been shielded from liability
for their vaccines by federal legislation -- but schools and businesses enjoy
no such privilege. FSU potentially faces criminal charges if any employee or
student dies or suffers medical harm as a result
of being forced to take the vaccine to attend classes or work here.
FSU has now been put on notice of the dangerousness of the vaccine
that they are mandating.
VAERS is the CDC’s reporting system for adverse reactions to commercial
drugs. Analysis of any VAERS data requires calculating an “underreporting
factor,” the URF. Only a fraction of adverse reactions to a medication get
reported, for various reasons. One rule of thumb holds that counts for an
adverse reaction represent only 1 percent of the actual total number of incidents.
According to MIT-trained Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Kirsch, CDC provides
rules for calculating the URF. Using them he arrived at a URF of 41 for the
Pfizer vaccine.[3] Two
other specialists have reported estimates of 20 and 30. The number of deaths worldwide
through end-of-year 2021 from Covid vaccines in VAERS now stands at over 21,000
(approximately 10,000 in the U.S.)[4].
Note that it took only 32 deaths in 1976 to halt the swine flu vaccine program.
This was before Big Pharma was granted its liability shield.
Applying the lowest URF factor (20) to the 10,000 reported U.S. deaths
from the vaccine yields 200,000 deaths. Another approximation of the number of
deaths resulting from the vaccine is “only” 150,000.
Here are VAERS counts for some of the adverse reactions to the
vaccines worldwide[5]:

If you still think this is conspiracy theory nonsense, there is
another source pointing to vaccine fatalities, one that cannot be accused of
having a political axe to grind. Speaking at a virtual press conference held by
the Indiana Chamber of Commerce on Dec. 30, Scott Davison, the CEO of insurance
company OneAmerica, reported startling data emerging from the 3rd and 4th
quarters of 2021.[6]
OneAmerica provides group life insurance for businesses and state employees.
Their customer base includes mainly working-age (18 – 64) vaccinated employees.
Accurate actuarial data is the very lifeblood of the insurance
industry. Insurers cannot fudge data if they expect to remain fiscally sound
and competitive. Davison revealed that the death rate had increased by 40% over
pre-pandemic levels, and most of the death claims submitted were not classified
as Covid deaths. He notes that death rates are remarkably constant year-to-year
and a change of just 10% corresponds to 3 standard deviations from the mean.
That means that the 40% increase in death claims is 12 standard deviations from
the mean. This statistical anomaly cannot be explained by Covid deaths. “We’re
now seeing the highest death rates we’ve ever seen in the history of this
company -- not just in OneAmerica,” he said. “The data is consistent across
every player in the business.” (He also notes an uptick in long-term disability
claims in the same period, but no numbers are provided in the news reports.)
The data on deaths and serious reactions to the vaccines is
readily available. Yes, all such data on harmful effects of the vaccines are
represented as “misinformation” and even “dangerous misinformation” by those
that wish to keep everyone in the dark. The indoctrinated have been conditioned
to reflexively dismiss any information that contradicts the official narratives
contrived by the spokespeople of our federal regulatory agencies and parroted
in the mainstream news media and enforced by Big Tech. Such “misinformation”
must come from Q-Anon conspiracy theorists, “Trumpsters,” “anti-vaxxers,” and
the other various and sundry “deplorables,” and hence, only a gullible fool
would pay any attention to it. Unfortunately, there are far too many people
with this affliction.
* * *
Looking to the future w/r to variants of the virus, it appears the
fears of prominent scientist/physicians such as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor
of mRNA technology (rwmalonemd.com) are coming true. The mRNA vaccines can
induce pathogenic priming, which
renders those who take the shots more vulnerable to future variants.[7]
Pathogenic priming, or antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), is
the process whereby healthy cells are attacked by the antibodies synthetically
manufactured by the mRNA process in mRNA vaccines. Future exposure to a Covid
variant triggers inflammation which can manifest as stroke, paralysis,
convulsions/seizures, anaphylaxis, encephalitis, birth defects and other severe
conditions.
Recent data from the UK shows a negative vaccine effectiveness
(VE) for the vaccinated – highest for the doubly-vaccinated in all age group
except for under-18[8]. A
positive effectiveness means exactly what you’d expect: the vaccine prevents
getting the virus by some quantifiable percent. One with a negative
effectiveness actually increases the
chances of infection. (For the specifics, the VE number was -66.2 for the over-30
age group, meaning that vaccinated individuals were 66% more likely to get
infected than the unvaccinated.)
The government’s solution is to double and triple-down on mandatory
vaccinations and an ever-accelerating treadmill of booster shots. Because of
the pathogenic priming inherent in mRNA shots, new booster shots will be
required for every new variant because the immune systems of those on the
booster treadmill are weakened with each subsequent shot.[9]
Furthermore, they will suffer worse symptoms. The boosters wear off in months,
we are told. Each booster shot gives protection for the current variant, but
weakens the immune system to combat all other health threats. It is expected
that on the government’s present track, Americans will eventually be ordered to
receive booster shots perhaps every 30–60 days, until … forever?
Going back to “dangerous misinformation,” the suppression of the
truth about the vaccines is only possible with the collusion of news media, Big
Tech, and social media. Dr. Robert Malone, the aforementioned inventor of mRNA technology,
has spoken out against the danger of the vaccine. He has been silenced. Every credible voice that dares to speak out
against Dr. Fauci and a medical establishment that has been captured and
corrupted by Big Pharma has been deplatformed – meaning, kicked off social
media like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and even censored in medical journals.
Fauci and former NIH Director Francis Collins have been caught
(email trails) colluding to viciously discredit several prominent doctors,
particularly some of the brave doctors who are among the 60,000 who have signed
the Great Barrington Declaration, which at last count had over 900,000 total
signatories (gbdeclaration.org). The Great Barrington Declaration holds that
the vaccine approach to Covid was wrong from the very first, and that energy
and resources should have been spent on “focused protection,” promoting cheap
and safe therapeutic remedies. Hundreds of thousands of lives might have been
saved had not their efforts been squelched by Fauci, Collins, Big Pharma and
the medical establishment.
These police-state tactics extends to your personal GP and the
pharmacy that fills your prescriptions. In order to control the prescribing and
dispensing of the expensive drugs from which Pharma profits such as Remdesivir,
medications that are off-patent, costing literally pennies a dose and proven to
be effective in treating Covid in early stages (Ivermectin and
hydroxychloroquine), have been prohibited. Medical licensing boards threaten
the licenses of any doctors who engage in “misinformation” about Covid, just as
social media closes the accounts of anyone who posts information that
contradicts the official disinformation dispensed by the CDC, NIH, NIAID, etc..

Vaccine
mandates are the tip of the spear. Using the pretext of a health emergency, a
state of medical apartheid is being implemented -- handmaiden to a vile
authoritarianism rapidly sweeping over the western democracies in Europe,
Australia and North America. This should terrify anyone with a lick of common
sense. Freedom and liberty is being snuffed out right before our very eyes. European
nations enforcing vaccine mandates and lockdowns are no longer even bothering to
justify their actions with claims of scientific data. Holland is in full
lockdown simply because “Omicron is extremely contagious.”
On Jan. 11
Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser dictated that residents cannot leave their
homes without a mask, proof of vaccination (ages 12+) and a photo ID (ages 18+)[10].
The Premier of Quebec announced also on Jan. 11 that a “significant” financial
penalty will be imposed on residents who refuse to be vaccinated. Proof of
vaccination will be required for liquor and cannabis stores beginning Jan. 18;
shopping malls and hair salons are next. Numerous cities in blue states across
the U.S. are invoking vaccine mandates to work, shop and just basically
participate in civic and social life. The freedoms that we all grew up with and
took for granted will, one by one, become privileges,
to be granted or revoked by the State.
This is
Austria today, which recently implemented the following:
1. Vaccine
mandate for everyone by Feb. 1.
2. A penalty
of 3,600 Euros (about $4,000) for failing to comply, to be repeated quarterly. (The median salary in Austria is
3,790 Euros/month.)
3. Increase
to the maximum prison sentence for contempt-of-court from 6 weeks to 1 year.
(An amendment to exempt those thus charged for failing to comply with the
vaccine mandate voted down.)
4. Those found in contempt of court for failing to comply with the
vaccine mandate to be housed in separate facilities from the regular
(vaccinated) prison population –i.e., internment camps for the unvaccinated.
In the UK, the government is preparing to roll out their digital
identity tracking system (IDVT – Digital Identity Document Validation
Technology) enforcing, believe it or not, “right-to-rent” and “right-to-work”
provisions, following a vaccine passport mandate rushed through Parliament in
December in response to the Omicron “crisis”.
It shouldn’t be that hard to connect the dots. Authoritarianism,
with its requisite scapegoats – the unvaccinated – is establishing its foothold
here after stomping its way across Europe. Digitized vaccine passports, new
special “healthcare” enforcement police forces, internment (quarantine) camps
and a 24-hour surveillance, social credit system are all in various stages of
development in different parts of our country, as they are already in various
stages of implementation in Australia and Europe.
The vaccine mandates, and what they portend, are repugnant to
America’s foundational political values of self-government and individual
liberty.
This is America. We don’t do fascism. We do freedom and liberty.
Though the Australians, Brits, Canadians, Dutch, Austrians and
Germans etc. may have surrendered their liberty cheaply -- more resistance is
expected from us. There’s a historical reason for this. The nations of Europe
were conceived in feudalism and serfdom. Their centuries-long evolution to
democracy recognizes rights granted by
the State to the individual. In the
U.S., this principle is reversed. Our founding constitutional documents
recognize a nation conceived in
individual liberty -- our “God-given natural rights.” We, as citizens, grant to the government only certain
restrictions on those rights that we
deem necessary for the protection, health, and prosperity of the commonwealth –
for our “common weal.”
This usurpation of liberty arises from the transference of
authority from elected representatives to unelected bureaucrats. Who is this
Dr. Fauci who dictates where we should shop, where we can work, and even who we
can invite into our homes? I didn’t vote for him. Did you?
The shifting and shaky sandcastles to deception are slowly
collapsing into the sands of reason. The lies of Dr. Fauci are finally being
exposed to the cold light of truth (thank you, Rand Paul and RFK, Jr.). Covid vaccine mandates are an assault on
liberty and freedom, and in the final analysis may constitute a crime against
humanity.
FSU must do the right thing now, before the start of the spring
semester, and revoke its vaccine and booster mandates.
