The Coming Firestorm: Back-to-School Opening and Biden’s Door to Door Constitutional Crisis
by Renee Parsons
As the nation braces in anticipation of a potentially volatile re-opening of the new public school year, parents across the country are already on edge as the quasi-marxist Critical Race Theory (CRT) has attracted widespread opposition. In addition, Covid requirements spelled out in the CDC’s newest Guidance for K-12 students can expect to add another intense layer of parental disapproval. As if all that were not enough to create an additional firestorm of unpredictable proportions, pretend President Joe Biden has dramatically increased the stakes by announcing an imminent door to door pursuit to inoculate millions of Americans within their own home. The prospect of a simultaneous national at-your-front-door mandatory vaccination program represents a massive Fourth Amendment assault that threatens the future of our Constitutional republic. As appears to have been the case since Covid was first identified, politics continues to guide public health decisions rather than the science.
The immunization effort includes the utilization of a spike protein bioweapon under the guise of what is more commonly referred to as a Covid 19 vaccination which is still classified by the FDA as an untested Emergency Use Authorization in order to facilitate public usage.
As if Biden’s announcement was not enough to cause great clanging alarm bells, WH press secretary Jan Psaki removed any doubt as to the government’s true agenda. Her follow up to Biden’s announcement included reference to the creation of ‘strike forces’ which removed any benign appearance from what may be shaping up to be the implementation of a nation-wide militarized deployment.
“Dr. Fauci has addressed this a number of times and has conveyed that ‘herd immunity’ is kind of an outdated term. So we had set a goal of reaching 70% of adults by July 4th and we reached that goal of adults 27 and older by that date. We’ll continue to press to reach it and we will in the next couple of weeks for adults over the age of 18. Our work doesn’t stop there and we are going to continue to press to get 12-18 year olds vaccinated…to continue to work with communities where there’s lower vaccination rates. That’s one of the reasons we initiated these strike forces to go into communities and work with them to determine what they need; to take a localized specific approach that works with elected officials and communities.”
With only 47.9% of Americans fully vaccinated against Covid (approximately 157.9 million), the government failed to meet Dr. Fauci’s 70% target of vaccinated Americans – which necessitated the vaccination of children. Biden provided no other details on exactly how the deed would be accomplished other than to suggest his ‘outreach team,’ later referred to as “surge response teams,” will consist of CDC officials, FEMA and other health related agencies as they initially focus on ‘targeted communities’ in 1000 American counties which had achieved only a 30% vaccination rate. As part of the HHS Department, a Community Corps has already been dispatched to provide Covid information to unvaccinated residents.
Meanwhile, in a recent CNN interview, US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra threw kindling on a smoldering fire when he told CNN that it is ‘absolutely the government’s business to know who has been vaccinated.” Becerra went on to condescend to Americans who pay the bills and who have suffered the consequences of the Federal government’s surrender to Fauci and Big Pharma when he suggested that “Perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic, so it is absolutely the government’s business.” Further totally missing the impending crisis, he suggested that “knocking on a door has never been against the law” as Republican governors began to line up in opposition to a door to door visit from the Federal government.
Becerra declared that his comments had been “wildly out of context” as he later tweeted that “government has no database tracking who is vaccinated” which is not a factual statement. Each vaccinatee has received a preliminary id card just as the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has sent out multiple solicitations to Colorado’s unvaccinated residents.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co) questioned “Door to door to vaccinate Americans this year… door to door to confiscate guns next year?”
CDC Guidance issued on July 9th
Even as children risk a zero chance of dying from Covid and as vaccines are only available for 12 years old and up, the new CDC Guidance says that only fully vaccinated children do not need to wear masks in the classroom. In other words, children younger than 12 years will be required to wear masks despite JAMA’s newest study which concludes that masked children risk five times higher dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. The CDC further recommends that school districts maintain a ridiculously unenforceable three feet of physical distance between students in the classroom. While on one hand, the new CDC Guidance suggests that all school districts fully reopen this fall even if they are unable to complete its guidelines; in which case the CDC recommends to “layer multiple other prevention strategies” such as screen testing, handwashing, ventilation and contact tracing in combination with quarantine and isolation be utilized.
Abandoning Herd Immunity
When Dr. Tony Fauci conveniently abandoned the herd immunity concept as no longer a goal and that a vaccination rate of 70% – 85% was required to conquer Covid, he inexplicably continued to ignore natural immunity. Herd immunity occurs when enough people become immune to a contagious disease thereby limiting further spread of the disease. What Fauci ignored is that undercounting or removing the number of Americans who possess natural immunity is considered a scientific error of omission. While infection disease professionals estimate that 60% of the population needs to have been exposed for herd immunity to be reached, John Hopkins has estimated that 80% – 85% of American adults have acquired natural immunity.
Fauci’s view has remained critically unexamined by the old guard medical, political and media establishments as his speculation justified the need to include a mandatory vaccination policy for children. The failure to acknowledge natural immunity has led to a government policy of indiscriminate vaccinations.
In early March, a California Department of Public Health report said that only 8.7% of the state’s population had ever tested positive for Covid-19 while at least 38.5% of the population had the coronavirus antibodies. Adjusting for cases between now and then, and accounting for the amount of time it takes for the body to make antibodies, it can be estimated that as many as half of Californians have natural immunity today. The same report found that 45% of people in Los Angeles had Covid-19 antibodies.
Fourth Amendment
The Fourth Amendment which reads, in part, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…” was originally taken from the British maxim that ‘every man’s house is his castle.’
More than any other amendment, the Fourth is a direct derivative from pre-revolution Colonial America when the British parliament enacted the Quartering Act in 1774 which allowed royal governors, rather than colonial governments, to ‘quarter’ British soldiers. Colonists were further enraged by having a ‘standing foreign’ army quartered among a civilian population as a usurpation of American liberty. Upon the eve of what became the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson was tasked with preparing the list of grievances against King George III which became the Declaration of Independence. Those 27 grievances were ultimately culled into the Bill of Rights and adopted into the U.S. Constitution.
As in Katz v. United States (1967), the Supreme Court held that Fourth Amendment protections extend to intrusions on the privacy of individuals as well as their physical locations and that “.. to claim protection of the Amendment depends not upon a property right in the invaded place but upon whether… there was a reasonable expectation of freedom from governmental intrusion.”
While there is little doubt to the least observer that there has been a split among the American people, there is also little doubt that as current events continue to unfold, there is a united well spring of popular support rising against the dictates of a tyrannical government and its corrupt agencies that no longer represent “by, of and for the People.”
It is also true that radical, challenging times like what we are living through now, can bring out the most courageous, the best from each of us individually and that such difficult, profound situations require each individual to rise to their highest, their most authentic potential in the name of truth, justice and integrity.
