Contact tracers are being hired and trained right now in states around the country. The power to control the lives of Americans, force quarantines against healthy people, and force vaccination is being put in place. Is this really about COVID-19 or is it about global control of the population? Ironically, I doubt it will stop things like the Minneapolis riots, but it will take law-abiding citizens and criminalize their refusal to cooperate with Big Brother control of their movements. Maybe it's time to leave the smart phones at home as much as possible! Or leave them in the car when you are visiting people.
We eat lunch once a week with our neighbors on our back porch while keeping our distance. This week the wife asked me if we are getting the covid vaccine when it comes out.I looked surprise and said we would take a wait see to evaluate how people respond to it.as a retired nurse I know how the newer drugs are pushed through since '95 and even the Docs would say to wait till the new drugs have been used approx. 13 years.
ReplyDeleteThe neighbor pushed her husband's arm as if to say "I told you so" ,to which he replied that they were getting the vaccine as soon as it comes out in October. "October?" we asked. "Yes!" ....."We have a friend who is studying to be a contact tracer."
I guess we will be watched like hawks now.
I agree that we must protect our freedoms, but contact tracing is not new. Contact tracing for communicable diseases including sexually transmitted disease was done long before cell phones by mail and by home visits to reach possibly infected people and treat them and sometimes to isolate them to stop the spread of infection. Vaccination certificates were required to enter elementary schools and school attendance was required. Lack of trust in a vaccine is excusable these days, given that there appears to be a mystery 'ingredient' in the virus and God only knows what will be in the vaccine. Some persons involved have earned our distrust.
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing about "Big Brother" since the 1950's and it seems he is plural, but desires that all men be one with him, and in him; and that would be a good idea if we were referring to Christ and not to God's worst enemy, or enemies.
About a year ago I visited our next door state where we used to live and my favorite little shop is. On the way home I stopped at Wendy's, which is my routine. When I got home, later that night my phone sent me a message asking how my lunch was at Wendy's. I had not made a call there, and I had paid cash. It was not Wendy's asking me how lunch was, it was Google who sent it. They knew where I was and they were asking. I was totally creeped out, and my husband disconnected my phone GPS that night and it's been off since.
ReplyDeleteWhatever useful purpose contact tracing had in the past, is not likely to be the same one now. We have an entirely different situation at hand, with our local government intruding on our freedoms in a new way. We have every right to be concerned. In a day where violent rioters are burning down cities and attacking people, we have a governor (Cuomo of New York) expressing his solidarity with the rioters. This is a new world, and not a brave one. We had better wake up. Were I asked where I'd been, I'd say I was home and hadn't talked to anyone.
Evangeline: Your phone probably connected to Wendy's's WiFi. That would enable them to locate you. Also, they can always tell what mobile tower you are connected to. All without GPS.
ReplyDeleteBTW: Any vaccine will have aborted babies in it. And mercury, and pork liver cells, and anti-freeze, and sterilizing chemicals. Plus, some bad stuff.
Contact Tracing for THE FLU is absolutely preposterous. That's NOT why they want to impose it.
