A New York City café owner who didn’t have a liquor license to serve alcohol was the first person arrested for breaking the city’s Coronavirus quarantine rules. Police said they arrested Vasil Pando after getting 311 complaints about people gathering, drinking and gambling at Pando’s sports café. According to MSN, police found at least a dozen people drinking and gambling inside.

Pando was charged with illegal sale of alcohol, reckless endangerment, promoting gambling and criminal nuisance. In other news, a Florida megachurch pastor was also arrested for breaking shelter-in-place mandates by holding church services instead of honoring shelter-in-place rules.
So far, at least 21 states have issued shelter-in-place rules or closing of nonessential businesses, and it’s very possible that these two arrests are just the beginning. Some have even argued that the shutdowns and quarantines are violations of their basic civil rights. The thing is, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly published a new rule in December 2017, giving the CDC itself the right to issue its own quarantines, and to detain and isolate anyone they suspect of being infected with any one of nine diseases on their quarantine list.
The rule allows the CDC to detain a person exhibiting certain infection symptoms such as fever, headache, acute gastroenteritis (abdominal cramps, loose stools or vomiting), and also strengthens federal surveillance of travelers for non-quarantinable diseases like measles, pertussis and meningococcal disease.
The detainable diseases include cholera, plague, diphtheria, smallpox, yellow fever, infectious tuberculosis, viral hemorrhagic fevers (like Ebola), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and influenza that can cause a pandemic. And, since coronavirus is very like SARS and flu, there’s a high probability that if the CDC feels like stepping up and imposing their own quarantine rules, they just might — and they can.
It’s sad that when this happened, barely a ripple of discontent was noticed around the nation. But would you be upset if you knew this law also allows the CDC to detain you if you have a rash and cough symptoms of non-quarantinable infectious diseases, such as measles and pertussis?
On top of that it gives ships and airplanes the right to detain and report you if you have a fever of 100.4 or more. This is not a joke. This is real. Follow the link above to read more about this little-known rule that the CDC could implement at any time without notice.
If that’s not bad enough, even for those who are staying at home trying to weather the coronavirus out, when you turn on the TV all you hear about is how the CDC and world health officials are racing to get a coronavirus vaccine developed and fast-tracked to the public.
The coronavirus vaccine may be the first genetically engineered messenger RNA vaccine to be fast tracked to licensure even though the FDA has not yet licensed messenger RNA vaccines that use part of the RNA of a virus to manipulate the body’s immune system into stimulating a potent immune response. And make no question about it: The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) may recommend that all Americans get the newly licensed coronavirus vaccine.
That’s right. ALL, because the government has a National Vaccine Plan designed to make sure you, your child and everyone in America gets every dose of every vaccine that government officials recommend now and in the future.
Ironically, when Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services to create the National Vaccine Program in the 1986 Act, federal health officials were told to put together a plan to “achieve optimal prevention of human infectious diseases through immunization and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions to vaccines.”
The plan was not supposed to focus solely on vaccine development and promotion but to equally focus on preventing vaccine reactions, but that’s what happened. Again, if you want more information on this, click the link above.
Then, when the time comes, remember that national vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.
And, it is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade associations and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.
