John Spiropoulos provides another ground report in California. {Rumble Link Here] As John notes:
“The recent decision by the state of California to require masks in schools this fall prompted this rally/protest in San Juan Capistrano. Parents want the masks to be optional, not mandatory. Several hundred people (parents and their kids) showed up to loudly voice their feelings outside a meeting the San Juan Capistrano school board. Many were later able to speak to the board during the public comment session. The spot includes interviews with 10 parents.”

This needs to happen nationwide. I’m in!
I will bring my yellow jacket.
Right behind you!
kleen, what NEEDS TO HAPPEN NATIONWIDE is open, free and fair competitive SCHOOL CHOICE! What we are seeing, with the tyrannical school board, is a group of individuals who are beyond “feeling their dictatorial oats”; they are now seeking, very openly, total control.
The easiest — the best? — way to do this is also the most American: again, school choice.
It’s not a vaccine by definition of the patent offices. It’s a delivery mechanism for a biological program.
It’s a bio-software, irreversible. FOREVER and ever once in your body.
This cool short video explains what it is:
https://www.statnews.com/2020/10/26/mrna-vaccines-face-their-first-test-in-the-fight-against-covid-19-how-do-they-work/
Something I don’t understand. As the video is describing:
1) Our antibodies will try to fight Covid by mobilizing against the spike proteins of the virus.
2) The vaccine creates mRNA that instructs the cells to make faux spike proteins, thereby causing the antibodies to be produced.
3) Those antibodies are then available to fight the “real” virus when it sees its spike proteins.
Question: Since our immune system normally would be triggered once it encounters those spike proteins, whether from a real covid virus or from the vaccine’s mRNA orders – WHY do we need the vaccine in the first place? Is it because it saves time since the antibodies will already be there, so there is no time for a “bad” infection to happen?
We don’t need it, unless is for someone in the high risk category who would certainly die otherwise. But even though, the J&J is the less bad of the 3.
The non-mRNAs are safer.
The rest of us are better off, being exposed to Covid and getting early treatment, those are available.
Once you have Covid, the antibodies will show up in you blood test up to 8 months after you had it. After 8 months they may not show up in blood test but you are immune FOREVER. And your natural immunity works on all variants. God gave you an amazing immune system.
Once you take the vaccine, it overrides your natural immunity FOREVER, It’s irreversible. It doesn’t matter if you had covid before or not, The vaccine is it, forever and apparently is not working. Now your natural immunity is gone and the vaccine is not working, now what? Boosters forever?
I know people who are sick with covid after being vaccinated. 2 young and healthy, very ill.
Israel data shows the sad true.
Thanks, I appreciate the explanation. I have no plans on getting the vaccine. I just wanted to understand how its supposed to work, so I can speak intelligently if I have to argue with pro-vaxxers 🙂
Watch Dr McCullough and Dr Malone videos
YES! SHOULD BE “MANDATORY” VIEWING FOR EVERYONE.
Weird….found another on in the bin. 🙁
I just watched Dr. McCullough on with Brannon Howse. Amazing video explaining the deadly effects of the vaccines. No one should be taking them now that we all know they are so dangerous and many people have died, had heart attacks, children breastfeeding died from mother’s milk . She had been vaccinated. Young people are being sterilized, etc. STOP THE VACCINES NOW.
I saw that now more than 80 percent of Israel’s Covid-19 “variant” patients were fully vaccinated. I think the variant narrative is misleading. Variants weaken viruses. Natural immunity takes care of variants as well.
If vaccinated patients are having more problems with variants than UNvaccinated people, the culprit is the vaccine and the ADE inflammatory response. This will continue indefinitely, year by year, with each new coronavirus exposure.
It seems logical that when a variant is being dealt with, the claims for the previous “vaccine” don’t apply. The thing they are claiming to address is no longer what is going on.
I’m sure glad I don’t have to live as long as Methusalah and a bunch of the other patriarchs. The confusion and deception is just wearying.
Israel:
Total population = 9,371,370
Total new cases = 7,700
‘Known recovered’ = 835,792 per the article
New cases among recovered = 72 or .00862% infection rate
‘Vaccinated’ = 5,193,499
New cases among vaccinated = ‘over 3,000’ but we’ll call it 3,000 or .0578% infection rate
That leaves 4,628 new cases among the rest of the ‘status unknown’ population of 3,342,079. 0.139% infection rate.
A few observations, first, 7,700 ‘cases detected’ is itself in total less than one tenth of one percent of the population. Just saying.
The infection rate among the vaccinated is indeed 6.7 times that of the ‘recovered’. The ‘status unknown’ rate is another 2.4 times that.

“…getting early treatment…”
Is treatment being offered? I’m not aware that it is–but that they are still recommending self-care and then if you get sick enough, get to the ER and take your chances. If treatment is consistently and effectively being offered around the country, I’d like to understand what it consists of.
I have not gotten the “vaccine” and do not intend to. I’m 77 years old. I don’t see any reason to add a co-morbidity to my life….and I do consider taking this cocktail into my system the addition of a problem that I didn’t have before.
I will have no problem being ostracized, if that’s the way it plays out here in Oregon. I don’t particularly want to be around vaccinated people, with the unknowns that are involved with that.
There’s a difference between solitude and isolation–and I do intend to watch where that line is. Isolation is not a good thing.
Yes, Dr McCullough talks about it and my Dr offers.
It’s a combination of drugs and also Vitamins.
I talked to my MAGA Dr and followed his advice. I’m not taking the mRNA and If I get covid I will call him and he will prescribe me the $50 treatment.
J&J is supposed to be the best vaccine out of 3. Always always ask your Dr.
You can take the immunity test to find out if you have been exposed and is immune. It’s a blood test, very simple.
Clearly the Pfizer Vac is not working. Boosters are already being delivered in Israel or ordered in Canada. Soon our CDC will have to start conditioning people for the booster here as well. Will it be boosters forever?
Canada ordered for 2022, 23, 24. What do they know? What’s going on?
And they want our kids taking this thing? OVER MY DEAD BODY.
I think it is better to get Covid than take the vax, as far as immunity goes. There seem to be side effects with the vax for some and no one is paying attention to any of these concerns.
I think a lot of these “breakthrough” cases are the bodies reaction to the jab, stage 2. As soon as someone gets exposed to something that sets of the bodies immune system, it goes haywire with the spike proteins, or the “cytokines storm” some have predicted.
if the jab is that ineffective AND is causing the multitudes of dad this and bad interactions as are being reported, it’s criminal (if not conspiratorial), that they haven’t yet pulled them out of market. Medicines for our pets are tested better than these have been.
And they are after our kids for crying out loud! We MUST REVOLT. This is criminal. Kids are not at risk.
Monsters!
Just look at the D’s that escaped Texas to DC on that private flight. All vaccinated and 6 tested positive and were spreading it. We are not getting updates on their condition. Why?
The public needs to know what’s happening since they pushing this on us.
Large drug companies, and their allies like Fauxi, gots to make their profits!
The patent on ivermectin has lapsed, so they have to have new drugs to fill the coffers!
From the video…
“Antibodies will recognize the protein on the virus”.
My undetstanding…
In the past there has been a virus/parts of (weakened, etc) that could be put in the vaccine to promote antibody production prior to a major infection. (Outbreak)
In the case of “The Rona” there is no actual virus for the protein to adhere to.
The “mrna Recipe” in the “Vaccine”, in effect, substitutes the cell for the virus.
S1 Spike Protein synthesis of the virus [Computer simulated, synthetic (man-made) computer code], delivered as mrna instructions (via Spike Proteins), causes the “cell” to produce the Spike Protein in the absence of a virus.
The cell moves the Spike Protein to its outer membrane making it visible to the antibodies.
The antibodies then attack the cell; just as they would under normal conditions attack a virus.
As the cell weakens/dies, some Spike Proteins are released into the blood stream. As the Spike Proteins travel throughout ones body, they attach to other cells. The “mrna recipe” is inserted into the cell and the process begins again.
In essence, The “Vaccine”, tells your body, to attack itself.
This is the process that killed all the lemurs in their prior mRNA experiments
over the last twenty years. The lemurs survived both injections but Antibody Dependent Enhancement exacerbated subsequent coronavirus infections.
The spike proteins themselves are pathogenic, meaning they create disease in the organs to which they are attached.
In the brain the disease leads to looie body dementia. In the heart it caused myocarditis or pericarditis. In the lungs it is SARS-CoV-2. And in the vascular system it leads to blood clots.
And the masks were never a deterrent anyway. Fauci was telling the truth in the beginning when he said they were window dressing. They’re designed to protect against bacteria – against a virus it’s like a chain link fence to stop rain. Nothing any supposed medical professional has said in the last year has changed that. The masks are combination virtue signal, tool of division, and a cross to ward of the vampire virus.
What’s scary to me is that, here in Oregon, since they’ve finally PARTIALLY lifted the mask mandate, I actually see MORE people wearing masks – not just announcing their continued fear of the disease, and conformity to authority (an un-American trait, but that’s a good thing to progressives) but the unquestioning belief in the masks themselves.
I’m also guessing we’re going to get another outbreak – or a scary new strain – some time before the next elections.
The fascists have a new tool to wield fear and there’s absolutely nothing in me that believes they will put it down now.
I’m in Oregon, too. Willamette Valley – –
Your comment reminds me of an old saying I made up a few years back:
Those whose hold on power depends on deception will always be able to find an audience willing to be deceived.
It’s all about playing to people’s predetermined opinions – essentially exploiting they’re bigotries.
The rule of selling anything is that the buyer WANTS to be sold.
Son, Folks don’t come to a car dealership to buy a washing machine!
You don’t have to sell them; they want to buy a car.
Trick is… convince them you have exactly what they’re looking for.
The authorities biggest problem is that there are free states where everything has returned to normal. Nobody cares about the positive variants which lead to a bad cold. We are over the drama.
People in the locked down commie states will see that it makes absolutely no sense to continue this nonsense anywhere.
Biden didnt win California either.
They’re not terrified of us knowing that elections are stolen.
They’re terrified of us knowing how many votes it takes to steal them. We outnumber them by tens of millions. That’s how many votes they’re manufacturing every single election year. It’s not a coincidence that both Hillary and Joe barely campaigned. There’s no benefit to having the candidate actually campaign when 80% of your votes are invented out of thin air.
Imho…
They’re terrified we’ll find out how many now in office have “Benefited” from the steal.
They are not afraid of us as long as we wear masks and cower under our beds when FauXI says “Jump!” They will be afraid of us when we are no longer afraid of them or Covid-19. And we are basically there.
Bill Would Strip Social Media of Protections for Health Misinformation (freerepublic.com)
“WASHINGTON—Sen. Amy Klobuchar introduced a bill Thursday that would strip online platforms such as Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. of liability protections if their technology spreads misinformation about coronavirus vaccines or other public-health emergencies.
The bill, which Ms. Klobuchar (D., Minn.) has previously telegraphed was in the works, would create an exception to the law known as Section 230 that shields internet platforms from lawsuits for content generated by their users and other third parties.”…….
Dear Amy,
The three biggest liars on the face of the planet are politicians, bureaucrats and Big Tech oligarchs–and their dictator pals.
That includes you. You don’t get to force your BidenTruth and FauciFacts on us from the Ministry of Bio-Medical Truth(tm) that you are building.
Before the election, you told us voting machines and voting machine companies were wide open to fraud, manipulation and theft. After the fraudulent, manipulated and stolen election, you tell us they are the best thing since sliced bread.
You are a liar. You wouldn’t know the truth if it shaved your leg hair with a fine-tooth comb.
Repeal all of section 230 and be done with this damned Two-Tiered Censorship. Then reflect in shame how you have pissed on our Founders’ Legacy of Free Speech–and Free Elections– that was handed to you, me and all of us.
Until then, get off my Bill of Rights, fatso.
That’s a medical term. True, too.
Alright, Gipper! You nailed it. Bravo!
Notice that the term “misinformation” is never defined. If we had honest media to ask these questions and push back.
Sane people know that misinformation is whatever the Commie government says it is……if it goes against the left narrative and agenda it’s misinformation. Our freedom to choose to say what we believe, and choose to read is being taken away, obviously.
I got a shock tonight when I texted my son. I told him the Dems want to monitor text messages….he said it violates the Constitution. I said the Dems already violate the Constitution and our rights…. AntiFa /blm not being arrested, parents arrested because school boards don’t want to listen about masks and crt, and some other things this site covers. Someone has turned him to the DemoCommieFascist side. The exchange was very hurtful to me. He was a jerk to me, plain and simple. He asked where I got my information, that it was conspiracy theories and lies, and sent me mainstream media articles to prove I was wrong. He assured me that mainstream media has valid points and non mainstream media sites have some of the same points as MSM.
Both kids now leftists.
IT BEGINS: Biden Says CDC Will Force Unvaccinated Schoolkids To Wear Masks
“The CDC is going to say that what we should do is, everyone under the age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school,” Biden said during a Wednesday town hall on fake news CNN. “That’s probably what’s going to happen. Secondly, those over the age of 12 who are able to get vaccinated — if you’re vaccinated, you shouldn’t wear a mask, if you aren’t vaccinated, you should be wearing a mask.”
“It’s a matter of community responsibility and I think you’re going to see it work through,” Biden told the audience.
Yet the vaccinated will keep getting and transmitting the newest strains of Covid-19, because their vaccinates are already irrelevant for last year’s virus and will continue to be irrelevant with every brand-new flu season. This has nothing to do with the UNvaccinated, who do not need to wear masks. The masks don’t protect anybody, vaccinated or no.
LAUSD kids and parents are screwed.
Much of LAUSD is the result of illegal immigration. Low Info
MUCH? No, the unions and the districts have completely fooled the people and they don’t have high powered lawyers with kids in the district. And to add the teachers are in on the fear. Trust me
They are only screwed if they want to be screwed. They can self-identify as vaccinated. If bruce jenner can self-identify as a female, then unvaccinated people have the same right to self-identify as vaccinated. I am currently self-identifying as vaccinated when I’m in certain situations. I choose to be flexible.
Starting next month and into September there will I think be the beginnings of revolution where only one side can win. The combination of CRT, Pagan Mask Cult,and the Fallen Angels Vax program to meld man with demons – 8 balls, will set off Americas Momma Grizzlies. Woe be unto the evil ones.
Pfizer is shaping up to be a disaster!
Israel will start their booster dose in August, 3rd dose. It’s not working AT ALL. Less than 1% effective. See Israel data.
Now Canada: Justin Trudeau Announces Canada Has Purchased Vaccine Booster Shots From Pfizer Through 2024
Republicans are coming out and asking people to get vaccinated. Me thinks is a trap.
Soon we will find out what a debacle this mRNA bio- software is and they will blame Republicans, Fox and Trump.
They got DeSantis promoting it.
2024 CNN will have that video of him calling for people to get vaccinated on replay on CNN 24-7.
“They got DeSantis promoting it.”
FWIW
Normal people interlock or intertwine their fingers together……that is more comfortable, at least to me, than what the vile corrupt politicians are doing with their hands.
Please – stop the insanity! Normal, natural hand movements, even the “OK” sign, are normal. Please, stop.
This may be the dumbest thing peddled, that I have seen in a long time. And there is an ocean of stupidity out there…
That is a learned gesture to help you focus and prevent nervous mannerisms with your hands. That’s all.
I wish President Trump would stop taking credit for the vaccine. It is a trap for the next election. After he announces he is running, all of sudden we will learn the vaccine is harmful. Fauci and other bureaucrats behind the scenes will say President Trump pressured the scientific community and Big Pharma to develop a vaccine and that he didn’t care about side effects. The mainstream media will pound him with it. Mark my words.
I am not taking the vaccine and will probably lose my job in the next couple of months as a result. I remember right after 9/11 when the politicians and bureaucrats told all of the police officers, firemen, and iron workers it was safe to work on the pile. Years later 40,000 people have cancer. some have already died. Which politicians and bureaucrats were ever held responsible? They had to fight for compensation paid by taxpayers. With millions of people taking the vaccine, if harmful side effects develop a few years from now, there won’t be enough money in the world to compensate all people and take care of their dependents. Politicians, bureaucrats, pharmaceutical companies and employers won’t be held responsible. Money won’t do me any good if I’m dead or dying.
While I am happy there are people speaking out, I see about 25 people there. Sad more people aren’t speaking up and speaking out. Now that the AAP has spoken about that masks should be worn by children 2 and up, we are pretty well doomed. School unions and school boards will just use that as their go to – “we are following the advice of…..blah blah blah….science…”
It only takes a spark…
” 25 people”
Really?
Then people should home school their children. I don’t know why people continue to have children at all, if they are not willing to protect and defend them from psychopaths.
..but, but muh 81 million “votes”….
Also, Clovis Unified School parents in the Central San Joaquin Valley held a rally as well for the same thing. The powers that be, including the complicit press, are not pleased as you can tell from the article.
https://abc30.com/clovis-unified-masks-face/10902756/
Pfizer, Moderna, Coronavac, Sputnik V, AstraZeneca? Learn the Difference Between the Vaccines
CoronaVac — Developed by Sinovac
Used technology: Inactivated SARS-CoV-2. This (inactivated virus) is the most common technology for vaccine production.
Developed by: The Chinese biopharmaceutical company Sinovac.
AZD1222 — Developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca
Used technology: Modified chimpanzee adenovirus vector. That means the vaccine, also known as Oxford Vaccine, uses a virus originated from monkeys that have the same spike protein from the COVID-19 virus. But since this virus does not replicate in humans, it does not cause infections, only stimulating the immune response.
Developed by: The Oxford University, from England, and the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.
Sputnik V (Gam-COVID-Vac) — Developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute
Used technology: Replicating viral (adenovirus) vector. The Sputnik V uses the adenovirus (which causes the common cold) fused with the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 to stimulate an immune response. It is a very similar method to the one used by the Oxford vaccine, mentioned above. That similarity resulted in rumors that the Sputnik V was developed after hackers steal the AstraZeneca formula.
Developed by: The Russian institute Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology
mRNA-1273 — Developed by Moderna, NIAID, and BARDA
Used technology: mRNA. The same technology used by the Pfizer vaccine.
Developed by: The American company Moderna, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). The two last are part of the US Department of Health and Human Services
BNT162b2 — Developed by BioNTech, Fosun Pharma, and Pfizer
Used technology: mRNA. The BNT162b2, also known as Pfizer Vaccine, is an RNA vaccine. That means it uses messenger RNAs (mRNA).
This is a technology completely different from all vaccines created so far. In the history of humankind, no mRNA vaccine, drug, or technology platform, had ever been approved for use in humans.
Most of the vaccines “train” our body to fight infections by using modified or inactive versions of the virus, or purified proteins that help our immune system to create antibodies to defeat the infection.
This is not what the mRNA technology does. Instead of receiving a modified version of the virus, the patient receives genetic material that encodes the viral protein. In other words: it gives an upgrade to your genetic code.
Developed by: The German laboratory Biontech developed the vaccine, using funds from Germany and the European Union. Pfizer, an American multinational, provided the logistics and oversaw the clinical trials.
Today Gov Desantis announced no masks for Florida school kids, promises kids in FL will have a normal school year. You can hear the UHauls in CA being packed up right now…
Great start and hopefully the numbers grow. The number of adult voters in this picture is still pretty thin and needs to increase to show that more than 10-15% care enough to show up on local election days and make a difference.
Great to see the kids join their parents, to protest the wearing of masks. I’m sure they don’t enjoy wearing them. Masks serve no useful purpose. They only provide a false sense of security.
And a displayed mechanism of Control of the Slaves….
No shots, No masks, No passports, No more penalizing children in the name of prevention without support research, No more state/government interference in the Constitutional rights of citizens!
No more running from the common cold.
It should be noted that NBC had a ‘ story ‘ 2 days ago that Bannon posted on his gab.com #warroom page.
The report breathlessly stated that those ‘ crazy Q anon people ‘ have now continued their secret mission into local politics and ….. GASP …… school board meetings !!
The horror.
( While absurd in the extreme we can expect this template to be trotted out against any and all dissent the power-mad control freak oligarchs are nervous about )
The teacher’s unions are all in with the DemoKKKrats on forcing compliance in the population! There is a greater chance of a child being killed by the “vaccines,” then there is of one dying from the ChiCom virus!
Children are not spreaders of this disease; there are studies from Ireland, Israel, Sweden and many other countries that prove this! But the fascists in power throughout our government want to force us to be obedient subjects! They have no concern whatsoever about the harmful effects of their policies like hypercapnia from masks, and large spikes in suicide and drug overdoses!
They just don’t care about we, the people; in fact they seem to be bent on killing large numbers of us, as they did in NY, NJ and MI!
Great update! Thank you Mr. Spiropoulos.
“Consider Homeschooling” by Cari Kelemen looks like a wonderful book for parents thinking about homeschooling their children until the national craziness passes.
Perhaps those school pods, where groups of parents in a neighborhood create a network for homeschooling will grow too.
https://www.booksbycari.com/
America’s Frontline Doctors dot org seeks plaintiffs for their class-action lawsuit against these mandatory school vaccinations. Look on their website for details how to join their lawsuit.
Thank you, Governor Stitt. Unless there is a State of Emergency, our schools cannot mandate the experimental gene therapy or masks.
John knocks another report out of the park.
Great work!
I applaud these tiger moms & dads! Go for it! Tell these authoritarian school boards Just say No !
I hope people here in Delaware do the same as our governor says school kids must wear face diapers . So awful
The kids are doing a bang up job here! Love their signs, slogans, chants.
Great Job, kids!!
Parents, etc. should share this vid w/ the kids they know.
It’s a great example of student involvement. Love the creativity in the signs, etc.
Every parent gave rational and reasonable reasons for their opposition to compulsory children’s masks and thanks to John and sundance, their voices were heard by a larger audience. The “people” have a right and a need to speak out and be heard. These events are the springboards of change.
The MSM, Big Tech and the handlers of the corrupt Dem parrots want to be the only arbiters of acceptable opinions. Hopefully the “people” with their greater numbers and votes, will continue to grow in numbers, to speak out, to regain their freedoms and to save their country from this Marxist and Power Hungry madness.

They tell us to get vaccinated, or a vaccinated person may get sick from the virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated
Never wore a mask. Will never wear a mask. And they can take the vaccine and shove it.
Just Say No! No Masks On Our Kids!
Spoke with my 80+ YO Democrat mom today, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that she is afraid of losing her LIBERTY
She also stated that if she had her kids today, that they would be home-schooled-(wow) because of masking and CRT etc.
That she came to these positions all on her own without any exposure to conservative media or pushing from me is remarkable and speaks to the fact that Americans of all stripes are waking up. She was especially clued-in by all the contradictions the media has been putting out.
I am so proud of her for gleaning these rational positions from reading LAT, WSJ, NYT. 🙂
My daughter in law and my four grandkids were part of that group and are actually in the film. She spoke at the board meeting, correctly putting the responsibility on the school board – elected individuals who are supposed to represent them – to fight for the rights of these families against the CPHD. The state has given no clear reason why they have chosen to implement the mask mandate again and the parents are furious. She said the school board gave 50 people 1 minute each to speak at the board meeting and then shut it down so they could debate amongst themselves. She was somewhat hopeful that they have a way to shut this ridiculousness down now. I will keep you posted…
It is pretty clear now that the “mask mandate” is not a scientific decision but one to prevent “discrimination.” On the other hand, those who decide not to vaccinate may be protecting themselves but they also may harm others. Sword of Damocles situation. I noted elsewhere this comment by a pro-vaxxer [I have been vaccinated myself, just to make things open and above board] : If you don’t get vaccinated, get a Covid variant, and die, your death certificate should read, “suicide by Covid.”
the blond Mother with the little girl who had a medical exemption for her daughter not being honored due to no disability wtf? First of all pull your children out of public schools period! to even let this happen once is insane. wake up, parents! There are options find one and if it means homeschool then damn it do it. We are talking about the life and death of our children.
Don’t stop protesting.
Never surrender.
The Madison County Illinois Board, acting in its capacity as the Madison County Board of Health, passed a resolution asking local school districts to make masks optional instead of required.
Madison County is one of the few counties in Illinois where the county board doubles as the county board of health.
Even though the resolution was non-binding, I hope it provides the political cover needed to convince local school boards to make masks optional.
The Madison County Board’s vote in May 2020 to reopen the county during Governor Pritzker’s lockdown had the effect of making it easier for restaurants and other businesses to reopen during Pritzker’s lockdown.
There were many restaurants in Madison County that reopened their dining rooms months before Pritzker ended his lockdown.
Compare this to Sangamon County. Even though Sangamon County also has a Republican majority on their county board, they didn’t vote to reopen like Madison County.
As a result, restaurants across Sangamon County were prevented by the county from reopening their dining rooms until January 2021, which is when both Sangamon County and the City of Springfield decided to stop enforcing the lockdown.
This demonstrates that county resolutions like the one on masks aren’t just symbolic as some critics suggest.
I’m glad that the Madison County Board now has a Republican chairman and majority, after many years of being under Democrat control, and is willing to take a bold stand on issues like these.
As the eighth most populous county in Illinois, Madison County has a prominent voice in Illinois politics.
It’s abhorrent to force anyone to wear a mask, especially children. Wearing a mask should be optional, not required.
I’ll never understand the meddlesome people who want to force masks on other people. It’s bad enough that some people want to force their own children to wear masks, but to force other people to wear masks is unacceptable.
Our society has truly reached a point where too many people don’t understand the concept of personal liberty.
Some people falsely claim that “science” requires that we all wear masks or receive the covid vaccine. I respond to this by quoting British Rabbi Jonathan Sacks:
“Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is, not what ought to be. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive; it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed, science disavows purposes.”
Risk is inherent in a free society. A free people assume that risk as they go about their daily lives. No more restricting our liberty under the guise of additional security. It’s time to remove the remaining covid restrictions and mask mandates.
The attached article from St. Louis Fox 2 contains an error. It incorrectly identifies the Madison County Board as the Madison County School Board, which is a non-existent entity.
Each school district that has territory within Madison County has its own school board.
