This Must End. This WILL End. A Unrolled Thread by Julie Hamill.
Unethical doctors, AMA, ACA, medical boards, you're on notice. Medical rights and informed consent are FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS. Whatever "buts" and "yeah buts" you may have, keep it. We don't care.
This is a twitter thread from Julie Hamill (https://x.com/hamill_law/).
I am a mom. My kids were harmed by government policy, and my elected officials didn't care, so I ran for school board. Despite having always been politically independent, I was characterized as a "far-right extremist" (also racist, white supremacist, MAGA) because I didn't want my kids forced to get shots or wear a mask, and I wanted them to be back in school. When I ran, the local Democrat party repeatedly spread false information about me. 1/9
After I won, the rhetoric exploded. Women I considered close friends turned on me because they believed horrific lies that were spread about me. The local Democrat party, the teacher's union leader, and PFLAG joined forces to smear me as a bigot in complete contravention of facts and reality. I expressed my concerns to these people about the hatred they were fomenting against me and the consequences for my children. They did not care. They ignored me and doubled down. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was looking evil in the face. I've felt it several times since. 2/9
When I sued the County for violating our constitutional rights, the County came after me and my children through its well-compensated lawyers. They put photos of my children into the court record. Lawyers for the government and Twitter worked together to seal documents showing censorship efforts by members of Congress. The government and its attorneys characterized me and my clients as politically motivated extremists--Republicans who hated masks. (FTR only one of the founding members was a registered Republican, the rest were Dems and independents). 3/9
They filed papers accusing me of suing to "elevate my political profile." They believed in doing so, they could convince the judge to toss our lawsuit. They believed that characterizing us as Republicans in California would mean they could convince the court that our arguments were not worth considering (because, in their minds, Republicans are subhuman and undeserving of serious consideration). 4/9
The dehumanization of anyone espousing non-leftist views has been in the works for a very long time. The reactions from people on the left to the assassination attempt and murder of at least one innocent man are extremely upsetting, because it shows that the dehumanization process is complete, and I really don't know how we come back from this. 5/9
When people foment hatred against a person or a group and repeatedly spread biased and false stories in the media about that person or group, it shouldn't come as a surprise when that hatred turns to violence. This is a very dark chapter in our history, and the only way out is for people who think of their fellow men as less than human because of politics to reflect. The media, the government, and the political class, which work together to frame narratives on every subject in American discourse, need to tone the rhetoric way down and commit to speaking and reporting truthfully. 6/9
I am trying to figure out how to tackle the education piece, which is the most insidious element to our current discourse. Our education systems train young people to believe that they are "justified to 'resist' by any means necessary," not recognizing that they've actually been turned into political weapons. 7/9
To conclude this wandering rant, I have been fully cured of my TDS and hope that others will recognize the symptoms (e.g., cutting off friends and family over politics, experiencing physiological responses to a person's face, voice, or name) and work to shift your perspective. I look forward to voting for Trump for the first time in November. 8/9
When you see or hear people in your community being attacked and smeared over politics, don't join in. Ask questions. Ask for proof. Ask what their motivation for smearing might be. Go directly to the person being attacked and ask them questions. Every local elected and candidate I know who is not under the protection of the Democratic party in California is relentlessly and viciously attacked. It is not OK, it is dangerous, and it does not lead to any positive outcomes for our country. 9/9
We must stand between doctors and patients as an army of educated, ethical, scientists and doctors and lawyers - and as educated, informed, ethical laypeople - to defend the fundamental human rights that humanity set in place from the early 1900s until 1976 when Fauci decided to lead the charge against them. Not only will we be stopping the decay that has been affecting us by chipping away at our fundamental human rights. We will impose, establish, rectify, correct, and push further than past laws and protections ever have.
ALL people will know the details of the mass human rights violation campaign waged against the public called whole-population vaccination.
ALL unethical doctors will stand down on coercion, denial of informed consent, and misleading the public on vaccine safety.
This is inevitable, as it always was.
These are fundamental, inalienable rights. And Julie Hamill’s testimony ignite in you the fury of the righteous rage that occurs when you see other human rights trampled.
Enough.
ENOUGH!
Science - REAL science - will only be possible and useful in the future if we END the tyranny of pseudoscience. That means SHARING BONA FIDE articles published by ethical journals online, with your friends and family, and with your doctors.
It means FOREVER ENDING CENSORSHIP, shadowbanning, social media control by politicians.
It means taking the fight to the ones we love until we win over their hearts and minds with the stark realities. Public health as we currently know it is not science.
I saw Julie's rant right after she posted it and loved it. So much truth with passion. I won't be voting for Mr. Warp Speed, though.
We only have 6 million people in NZ, and the bigotry problem described by Julie is much smaller here, but the bias and authoritarianism is still present. The picture is much smaller though, and the degrees of separation are much less. Good luck for all you Americans. We managed to vote out the Woke pretenders in our last election, and get some realists in power.
