A hypothetical case of an ordinary citizen in an unordinary time, and why a one size fits mandate is a cruel.
For our story we will call our American citizen, Citizen A.
Citizen A (C.A.) has long been diagnosed with an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly). C.A. has been told that the condition is probably hereditary but needs to be monitored in the coming years as C.A. grows older. C.A. lives a fairly healthy and active life, doesn't drink or smoke, stays active and in general is a healthy individual.
Then Covid -19 comes on the scene. One of the possible side effects of catching covid is Myocarditis, Inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall. Obviously this is something that would not be good for C.A. and he would seem to be a perfect candidate for a vaccine to avoid this possible life threatening covid side effect.
C.A. has a problem though, the vaccines too have the potential side effect of Myocarditis. Now C.A.'s only potential escape from covid is also a potential life threatening shot and in most cases two shots. This is why most Myocarditis side effects from the vaccine occur after a second shot. Now his employer under pressure from THE STATE is requiring, without medical exemption, for him to be vaccinated or lose his job. Suddenly various businesses do not allow C.A. to patronize them, THE STATE is threatening even further sanctions against the "unvaccinated" citizens and C.A. is stuck in a Twilight Zone of damned if he doesn't but possibly dead if he does .
But it's even worse. Now, because the vaccine is ineffective after a few months, boosters could be required and in order to comply with the fully vaccinated dictate of THE STATE, C.A. would be required to take even more shots in order to be in compliance. Each one increasing his risk of serious heart problems or death.
C.A. thought he had an out to the Catch 22 predicament which THE STATE health OFFICIALS have put him and his family in. You see, before the vaccine, C.A. contracted covid and, though sick, perhaps even a mild episode of Myocarditis, C.A. made it through and according to all tests and all science, is immune to Covid.
"Not acceptable," say THE STATE health OFFICIALS, Citizen A must be vaccinated for his own good and those around him
200,000 people a year are diagnosed with an enlarged heart. This means there are millions of Americans knowingly or unknowingly at risk if they take the vaccine. There are several reasons that obesity is the number one comorbidity in covid deaths, an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) is certainly one of them. Is this aspect of the risks of taking the vaccine even discussed? Why no risk assessment for people like C.A. Soon, with the roll out of boosters and the coming children vaccinations the risks can only increase. It is not as if the risk of Myocarditis is going to diminish as people take more of the vaccine.
Does the Government have the right to tell citizens they must play Russian Roulette with their lives? Not in any America I lived in
