   Back in March, Joe Biden gave his first prime address as president. Almost   
   all 24 minutes of the speech were devoted to promoting the new coronavirus   
   vaccines – the miracle of medicine. One of the administration’s main   
   priorities, Joe Biden told the country, was making sure every American got   
   a COVID shot. And yet, the administration later took pains to explain,   
   universal vaccination was not the same as a federal mandate, they’re very   
   different. "The government is not now, nor will we be," requiring vaccine   
   passports – that’s what Joe Biden’s flack assured reporters. As important   
   as vaccines may be, the question of whether to take them, whether to have   
   powerful drugs injected into your body is the most intimate kind of   
   personal health decision   
      
   Politicians and bureaucrats should have no role in a decision like that.   
   These decisions are for the individual alone to decide, in consultation   
   with family, physicians and clergy. When it comes to medical care, it is   
   your body, your choice — just as it’s been since 1973. That seemed to be,   
   consistently enough, the Biden Administration’s position on vaccines. Many   
   people assumed that it was their position. But it was not. On the   
   questions of vaccines, Joe Biden is not pro-choice. He is pro-mandate. You   
   may have missed that.

   HESITANCY SHOULD BE A FELONY   
      
   Just because there’s no official federal requirement to take the   
   coronavirus vaccine, does not mean that you and your family won’t be   
   required to take it. With the full backing of the Biden administration,   
   private industry and nonprofits may be forcing you to. For example,   
   colleges across the country have announced they will require vaccine   
   passports in the fall. Students who can’t show proof of COVID vaccination   
   will not be allowed on campus. Yale, Georgetown and Princeton have adopted   
   this rule, and most have followed. Now, Duke, Columbia and Cornell. The   
   University of Michigan is requiring the COVID vaccine. So is the   
   University of Massachusetts, and the entire University of California   
   system, which is the largest in the country.

   California State University campuses. And Stanford University's provost   
   sent out a letter stating they will require full COVID-19 vaccination as   
   well.

   FULL RETURN TO CLASSROOMS 'NOW'   
      
   You can see where this is going, and at high speed. Soon, virtually all   
   college students in America will be required to take the COVID vaccine. In   
   effect, it is a national mandate — though, because it has happened   
   piecemeal, school by school, each apparently making an independent   
   decision, few recognize it as that as it’s happened. But a national   
   mandate is what it is. The question is, why are schools doing this, and is   
   it a good idea? From a medical standpoint, it’s hard to understand the   
   reasoning behind this. As a group, young people are not at risk of dying   
   from COVID. Maybe more significant, huge numbers of college students have   
   already been infected with the coronavirus. We know that, and therefore   
   they have a natural immunity to it. Why do these kids need a vaccine? No   
   one has explained that the question has rarely been asked.   
      
   Pete Hegseth: COVID 'science' replaced common senseVideo   
   In no other circumstance do we immunize people against a virus for which   
   they already have antibodies. From a medical perspective, that doesn’t   
   make sense. It seems especially strange to require it in this case. None   
   of the coronavirus vaccines have been approved by the FDA. They’re   
   experimental medicines, they’re administered under emergency   
   authorization. That doesn’t mean they’re dangerous, and we’re not claiming   
   the Coronavirus vaccines are dangerous. But there are unresolved concerns   
   about their long-term effects on some people, including their effects on   
   female fertility. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is true. It’s an   
   honest question that no one so far has been able to answer.  And, it’s not   
   simply being asked by partisans. It’s being asked by practicing   
   physicians.   
      
   Katharine Lee, for example, is a research fellow in the Division of Public   
   Health Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. Lee doesn’t seem   
   like a partisan Republican or a QAnon adherent or a crank. She gladly took   
   the Coronavirus vaccine, she seemed to support the Coronavirus vaccine   
   strongly. But then, in herself, she noticed unexpected effects on her   
   menstrual cycle.

   COVID LOCKDOWNS   
      
   "It wasn’t a symptom that was on the list," Lee said. "I expected that my   
   arm would be sore, or that I might have a fever or a headache, but this   
   just wasn’t on the list."   
      
   Kate Clancy, another scientist who studies female fertility at the   
   University of Illinois, reported that she had the same symptom after   
   getting the vaccine. She wrote about it in some detail on Twitter. After   
   she did write about it, dozens of other women wrote about similar   
   experiences they’d had after getting the vaccine. None of these symptoms   
   had been described in medical literature. The reason: the clinical trials   
   for the vaccine never tested for the effects on the female menstrual   
   cycle, or for fertility, or on pregnant women.   
      
   So, maybe the symptoms amount to nothing. That’s often the case. Maybe   
   they amount to something. We don’t know. The fact is, we can’t say what   
   the long-term effects of this vaccine will be on women, including pregnant   
   women. Honest people admit this. Every scientist knows this. According to   
   a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, "more   
   longitudinal follow-up, including follow-up of large numbers of women   
   vaccinated earlier in pregnancy, is necessary to inform maternity,   
   pregnancy, and infant outcomes."

   In other words, at this point, we just don’t know. Again, that doesn’t   
   mean the Coronavirus vaccine is dangerous. There’s no proof that it’s   
   dangerous. But there doesn’t need to be. We don’t need proof of harm in   
   order for public health officials to be careful and precise about how they   
   distribute these drugs. No medicine is designed for every person, in all   
   circumstances. In fact, every prescription is the result of a cost-benefit   
   analysis. Most people, for example, would consider chemotherapy a miracle   
   treatment. It is. It saves lives. We are grateful for chemotherapy. But   
   just because we’re grateful to have chemotherapy doesn’t mean we’d give
