Why Must the Whole World be Vaccinated?

Transcription / Notes WHY MUST THE WHOLE WORLD BE VACCINATED?  Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 13th day of August 2021, yes, it is Friday the 13th but whether it will prove unlucky remains to be seen. I will be talking about the tremendous pressure being brought to bear from the government against private citizens and businesses as well to take the vaccination for the COVID virus. Come out now and be vaccinated for the good of all they say. I will offer two competing theories for this pressure, and you can decide or perhaps offer your own theories.  The Castle Family is still healthy as far as we know and enjoying what is left of summer. Temperatures have been in the high 90’s this week so it is still summer although the kids are now back in school. I don’t know the temperature situation where the family daughter lives, but she is healthy and safe in LA.  To give us an illustrated picture of the first theory I will turn to the New York Times edition of last Sunday. The times devoted most of its editorial section to the vaccine and what the Times refers to as reluctance. “Vaccination rates are on the rise as the hesitant become less so, but the coronavirus will likely be with us indefinitely. How does one process this brutal reality? Many vaccinated Americans are tired, disgusted, and eager to assign blame. Public health experts and government officials, including some Republicans, have shifted from sensitive prodding to firm condemnation of those foregoing vaccination. Private conversations among the inoculated take an even less diplomatic turn: “We were so close, and these stupid, unvaccinated jerks ruined it for the rest of us.”  The subject of the Times reporting was how all these normally amiable Times readers who believe that since they are in a socially privileged class, they have an obligation to understand and tolerate the ignorant, but toleration of dangerous beliefs is quite different from permitting them. That is a quote from the article, so all these people are angry at the non-vaccinated and wondering what to do with their anger. The bottom line is that these normally virtuous, oh so morally superior progressive Times readers want to martial the force of the government to enforce vaccine mandates.  Their opinion seems to be that there is this thing out there somewhere called normal and that thing is being withheld from them and the rest of the human race. It is actually being held for ransom because a few jerks will not get the vaccine. Normal will not be allowed to return until we are all vaccinated so tell everyone you know to vaccinate everyone even kids.  The government, which has the legal right to use brute force against those who haven’t harmed anyone, such as those who refuse the vaccine, should force them to be vaccinated. The holier than thou sense of self-righteous anger almost literally drips from the page of the Times, but the entire opinion presumes certain things to be true which may be entirely false.  It presumes that their experts are the best most knowledgeable experts, and we should all abandon what many competing scientists and doctors say and accept their expert opinions. It also presumes that the government, through its leaders, is completely benign with the best of intentions. The only thing the government cares about is the well-being of the American people and it is willing to bear any burden and spend as much taxpayer money as necessary to ensure the best for the American people.  The pharmaceutical industry is the same way of course and although it must profit to succeed, money is not the issue, the health of the American people, indeed the entire world is the issue. The only reason the industry demanded and got a complete exemption from legal liabili...
