To break the economy, is to undermine the right to life. This has to be peaceably fought. We, the People, while paying to fund our own abuse with our tax dollars, do not consent.</p> https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2020/05/13/do-we-have-to-choose-between-economy-and-public-health-in-the-era-of-covid19.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#9986485/14/2020 3:07:36 AM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:998648Almond<p>Many of us are supposed to self-quarantine and isolate ourselves from people outside our immediate household. &nbsp;However, we are going to have these govt employees going door-to-door tracking and vaccinating people. &nbsp;Surveilling people--sort of like census takers. &nbsp;Has my doormat suddenly &nbsp;become some kind of transporter beam landing pad for unwelcome govt employees? &nbsp;We will not know how many people they have been in contact with each day, but it is likely they have been exposed to some households with corona. &nbsp;I see them as disease vectors and do not want them anywhere near me or my property.</p> <p>You have to ask yourself... what kind of a person wants a job where they go around bothering people and intruding on their privacy. &nbsp;Who would want to go door-to-door to the houses of complete strangers at a time like this? &nbsp;Who would not even demonstrate the brains God gave a carrot and mind their own business? &nbsp;How many times do they need a door slammed in their face before they begin to understand how unwelcome they are? &nbsp;This reminds me of certain churches who send missionaries out to repeatedly ring your doorbell even when you tell them you are not interested. &nbsp;It seems the state has already made an attempt to shut down religion. &nbsp;Maybe they want to replace religion with the power of the state? &nbsp;I doubt a person is able to get a restraining order against the state, or people who demonstrate such risky behavior, but it should be possible.</p>
