every time i read a story like this i thank god i live in Florida. This is utter madness. Even though there are many in Florida that bow to the altar of St. Fauci, they have no power. We are free to live our lives here thanks to Governor DeSantis. He is the one that stood up for our children. I know left to there own devices the school system in the deep blue county of Florida I live in would resemble this piece. But we have laws on the books, not executive orders, laws, that make it impossible for mini tyrants to operate. Thankfully my children are older, and never had to deal with this insanity as elementary age. The author has done the right thing and I urge all parents to follow her suit and remove there young children from this insanity and homeschool. Even in the free state of Florida, only this school year have things been semi normal. If my kids were elementary age they wouldve never returned too a governement school after they cancelled end of 2020 year. I applaud this author and wish her nothing but the best in her fight vs the tyrants currently running isreal.

This is what the state wants. Submissive, fearful, obedient, and conditioned to accept any rule forced in them no matter how irrational. This is a feature, not a bug, of the great reset embrace of totalitarianism.

On the topic of failing our kids, on our first team meeting video call of the new year at work, many shared stories of how they spent their holiday week (here in the US). One triple vaxxed colleague shared how he masked up AT HOME when his vaxxed kids tested positive. I understand some people with potential co-morbidities may need to be cautious, but an otherwise healthy and relatively young man masking up and being afraid of one’s own children is just too much for me. What message does it send them?

Thank you, Etana, for the wonderfully brave work you and your fellow sane Israelis are doing to fight this madness. As someone of partially Jewish origin and who knows Jewish history inside out, I find it incredibly that Israel is the point nation for this hysteria. One question: how are the Orthodox Jews coping with all this? From my visits to Israel in past years, I got the impression that they don't take any crap that goes against their beliefs. Anyway, may the forces of life, love and goodness triumph this year over the evil!

It’s, sadly and scarily, no different in Ireland at the moment. >95% jabbed.

This is terrible! Everything stops at the innocent kids and parents.

I have officially reached the end of my rope. Usually, I try to deflect my anger by humor, but I am so pissed off right now. This whole mess is so UNBELIEVABLY IDIOTIC that it defies explanation.

Three things;

1. It is forcing me to inject something into my body. MY BODY got it?! it is a complete violation of bodily autonomy. It’s my decision, not anybody else’s, PERIOD. That should be enough to end the discussion.

INFORMED CONSENT. Look it up! NO PERSON CAN DETERMINE THE RISKS THAT ANOTHER PERSON CAN OR CANNOT TAKE! (Incidentally, if I hear some useless cretin utter the word “asymptomatic” one more time, someone’s going to have to call the cops and a news crew!)

2. It is an INDISPUTABLE FACT that a vaxxed person has the same chances - probably better - of getting covid, the flu, whatever the hell you want to call it, as an in vaxed free person.

I will beat this drum until my last dying breath: If the shots don’t prevent you from getting it and it doesn’t prevent you from spreading it, then just why in the hell am I being forced to take it and have my livelihood threatened to boot?

Please spare me the “It will lessen the severity” line of bull. Just shut up already!

3. These shots have proven to be highly toxic to some people. This is not up for debate! READ THAT AGAIN!

When some far-left looney tells me that it’s safe for most people, that is - by definition - an admission that it's NOT SAFE for everybody. GET IT?!

No one else gets to make that decision for me!

Oh, by the way….THERE IS NO EMERGENCY! SHUT UP! TURN OFF YOUR TV!

Older adults with compromised immune systems suffering through several morbidities have been dying for years. It’s kind of how it works.

No, I wouldn’t say I like it either, but you’re going to have to take that up with a higher authority.

That’s it. Just 3, and we don’t even need #2 or #3.

But, no, we are so screwed up as a society that this has to go to the Supreme Court AND, they are currently STALEMATED?

Are you freaking kidding me?! Is this a joke? Am I on Candid Camera? Maybe if they moved on from looking at case law from the time of the druids and focused on how this would exacerbate an already horrific situation.

Hey, maybe they could even throw the Constitution in there just for laughs. Just what the hell is the problem here?

Granting highly coveted status and preferential treatment to your employees who wave their vaccine card around like it's some impenetrable force field of life proves that you are pompous, intellectual pinheads with massive superiority complexes.

You’re either complete assholes, stupid, or both! I suspect both.
