December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Coordinator of the White House COVID-19 Task Force Dr. Deborah Birx defied her own travel guidance over the Thanksgiving break by visiting one of her holiday homes on Fenwick Island , Delaware .
Birx had previously told CBS ’ s Face the Nation that people “ need to not go to these places ” and that they should “ take it upon [ themselves ] to be restrictive.
” In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American , ” declaring that “ this is the moment to protect yourself and your family.
” Following this , she advised that “ if your governor or your mayor isn ’ t doing the policies that we know are critical , masking , physical distancing , avoiding bars , avoiding crowded indoor areas , if those restrictions don ’ t exist in your state , ” then individuals should “ be vigilant ” and restrict celebrations to “ your immediate household.
” “ If your family traveled , you have to assume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infected , ” she warned , adding that “ you need to avoid anyone in your family with comorbidities.
” Birx also offered strong guidelines to areas that have recorded higher infection rates : “ the first thing you should do is close spaces where people can not wear a mask , ” specifically “ bars and indoor restaurants.
” In what would turn out to be a self-referential condemnation , Birx said , “ Some people may have made mistakes over the Thanksgiving time period ” and that those who erred “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Birx has since come under fire after not taking her own strict advice .
She admitted in a statement to the Associated Press that she had traveled to a secondary property in Delaware over Thanksgiving but denied that she was there to celebrate .
She instead claims that the purpose of her visit was “ solely focused on preparing the property for a potential sale.
” The members of her “ immediate family ” who were there apparently “ assisted in that as well.
” Birx had four generations of her family with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , despite her advice that families should keep to their immediate households .
Birx is far from the only public official who has been caught flouting her own lockdown instructions .
Gavin Newsom , the Democrat governor of California , was last month spied sitting down to dinner with a group of senior medical officials “ from several other households.
” Newsom had put in place an order declaring “ gatherings that include more than three households ... prohibited .
This includes everyone present , including hosts and guests.
” Restrictions also include @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but while out celebrating , Newsom was snapped rubbing shoulders with his fellow diners , all without masks .
The woman who took the photos said she “ was able to document this especially since nobody was wearing a mask .
It was a very large group of people shoulder to shoulder , something that he ’ s always telling us not to do so yeah it was a bit annoying for sure.
” Notably , among the guests at the party with Newsom were Janus Norman and Dustin Corcoran , two high-ranking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CMA ) .
Both of the CMA officials were also mask-less despite the CMA ’ s recent propaganda video that claimed that “ [ a ] nti-mask and anti-science fanatics are endangering our kids , our jobs , our future.
” While Birx defended her decision to contravene travel restrictions , Newsom made a public apology for his defiant dinner date after being caught .
Political commentators were quick to criticize the apology video , claiming that it appears more like an opportunity to excuse himself of any wrongdoing than a heartfelt apology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted that the first “ 44 seconds [ consisted ] of excuses before he even started to intimate that he had done anything wrong , ” with Newsom describing that the event was a “ 50th birthday ” party for a “ friend that [ he ’ s ] known for almost 20 years.
” Nancy Pelosi and Chris Cuomo have also been on the receiving end of criticism over their respective hypocrisies .
Britain ’ s Neil Ferguson , who is responsible for the computer-model research that prompted the U.K. ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught red-handed breaking restrictions .

PETITION UPDATE (8/27/2020)
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE this petition, which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask orders within their borders.
Facebook has restored the share link for this petition, saying that the decision to block it was a 'mistake...'
Please share with your Facebook friends, but we should all take heed of this warning: when an organization or individuals have to beg, plead and cajole just to express objective truths, it may be time to start looking for other social networking platforms.
Facebook needs to treat its users with respect, no matter their political persuasion. Moreover, Facebook needs to treat objective reality and facts with more respect.
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/25/2020)
Facebook is actively censoring this petition, saying that some people find it 'abusive.'
How anyone could find alternate facts about oppressive mask mandates 'abusive' is incredible...that is, impossible to believe.
This is exactly the kind of censorship which Big Tech is getting a bad reputation for.
The fact that Facebook calls differing opinion and objective reality "abusive" says a lot about Facebook and their agenda to silence reason and logic, not just conservatives and Christians.
But, people are more intelligent than Facebook give them credit for.
And, the more this continues, the more reasonable people will look alternate platforms to share their thoughts and connect with their friends and family. The more that happens, the less revenue Facebook will generate.
All of us have a decision to make, and the time is coming where we might have to tell our Facebook friends that we are moving to another platform.
We are encouraging people to continue SIGNING this petition and SHARING it via other platforms such as Parler and Gab, and to share the link below with your family and friends on Whatsapp, Telegram, Threema and Signal.
Thank you!

One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask mandates within their borders.
Public health policies should be based on science and logic, not on the type of political posturing and virtue-signaling which led Joe Biden to recently call for a national mask mandate.
And, public health policies certainly shouldn't lead to a situation where more people could become sick.
But, that is exactly what these mandatory mask mandates are doing.
Here are four inconvenient facts about masks:
1) Masks** are largely ineffective at stopping the transmission of viruses.
The vast majority of masks worn by the public are made from material which cannot filter-out viruses because virus particles are too small to catch or obstruct. Wearing cloth masks to stop a virus is like putting a bee in a bird cage to keep it from flying away.
Wearing a mask for long periods of time ensures that the wearer has a warm and moist receptacle around his or her mouth, on which viruses and bacteria can land and accumulate.
Thus, masks are actually likely to have little effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19 acting as a barrier, but could actually make things worse acting as a receptacle.
2) Mandates which call for masks to be worn outdoors are both absurd and oppressive.
3) There are clearly documented hazards of wearing masks for long periods of time.
4) And, since school is on everyone's mind...
Notwithstanding the above information on the ineffectiveness of most masks against viruses, we don't know if asymptomatic children can even transmit the virus.
But, it was a reported in an article in the July 21, 2020 Uk Times that: "There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the UK government's leading scientific advisers."
And, we also know that children are extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die from COVID infections. In any case, children cannot possibly be expected to wear a mask properly in a way that would cut transmission.
There are still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19, but we have grown in our understanding of this disease since the beginning of the crisis.
The knowledge we have gained should allow government and health authorities to make more nuanced policies than the current one-size-fits-all mask mandates.
Where are the legislative hearings in county commissions, and state, provincial or federal legislatures before these drastic actions are mandated? Where are the open and transparent debates among experts that provide our representatives with the necessary information to make good policy decisions?
The real pandemic is the panic and the resulting tyranny that is being caused by dictatorial governors, corporate media and the monopolistic Big Tech.
The truth is that COVID-19 is like a bad cold for most people; this is not ebola or the plague.
Of course, the very elderly and those with serious health conditions should take precautions or be quarantined, but the rest of society should begin the long process of returning to normality.
The frenzy to force everyone to wear a mask, at all times, has gone beyond all comprehension, and goes against science and logic.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse any mandatory mask order within the borders of their county, state, province, or country.
Thank you!

lifesitenews--2020-12-22--Vatican doctrine dept permits abortion-tainted vaccines for ‘grave danger’

VATICAN CITY December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The Catholic Church ’ s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ( CDF ) has issued a doctrinal note affirming that — under specific limited circumstances — one may morally cooperate in the evil of abortion through the reception of vaccines tainted in their production or testing with the living cells of children directly killed by abortion several decades ago .
The purpose of the “ Note on the morality of using some anti-Covid-19 vaccines ” is a response to “ several requests for guidance regarding the use of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manifestations of which “ employed cell lines drawn from tissue obtained from two abortions , ” including one in the 1970s and another of an 18-week-old baby boy in 1985 .
The CDF also notes that “ diverse and sometimes conflicting pronouncements in the mass media by bishops , Catholic associations , and experts ” on the question makes such a pronouncement useful .
Quoting previous Church documents , the CDF first explains that “ ‘ there exist differing degrees of responsibility ’ of cooperation in evil .
For example , ‘ in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being utilized , the responsibility of those who make the decision to use them is not the same as that of those who have no voice in such a decision.
’ ” “ In this sense , when ethically irreproachable Covid-19 vaccines are not available , ” for various reasons , the note states , “ it is morally acceptable to receive Covid-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process ” ( emphasis in original ) .
“ The fundamental reason for considering the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the kind of cooperation in evil ( passive material cooperation ) in the procured abortion from which these cell lines originate is , on the part of those making use of the resulting vaccines , remote.
” Citing another criterion for such use , the CDF explicitly affirms that “ [ t ] he moral duty to avoid such passive material cooperation is not obligatory if there is a grave danger.
” The document goes on to state that such a grave danger presently exists in “ the pandemic spread of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though the authors are not explicit on where the Church has competence to make that determination .
Others with due competence have come to the opposing conclusion : that vaccines are not needed at all for this pandemic , which they state is effectively “ over.
” Several thousand doctors in Belgium also affirmed that “ [ i ] f 95 % of people experience Covid-19 virtually symptom-free , the risk of exposure to an untested vaccine is irresponsible.
” And over 51,000 affirm that due to the relatively mild danger of COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ those who are at minimal risk ” should be permitted “ to live their lives normally [ and ] build up ( herd ) immunity to the virus.
” The Vatican document affirms that should one use such a vaccine , this “ does not and should not in any way imply that there is a moral endorsement of the use of cell lines proceeding from aborted fetuses ” and confirms that “ pharmaceutical companies and governmental health agencies ” should be “ encouraged to produce , approve , distribute and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ create problems of conscience for either health care providers or the people to be vaccinated.
” Finally , the CDF states , “ practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not , as a rule , a moral obligation and that , therefore , it must be voluntary.
” Indeed , as stated by the National Catholic Bioethics Center , especially since the long-term effects of these vaccines have not been sufficiently tested , “ coercive measures requiring persons ” to take such a vaccine are “ ethically unacceptable.
” In a paper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Schneider , along with co-signers Cardinal Janis Pujats , Bishop Joseph Strickland , and Archbishops Tomash Peta and Jan Pawel Lenga , expressed the strong conviction that any use of a vaccine tainted with the “ unspeakable crime ” of abortion , under any circumstances , “ can not be acceptable for Catholics.
” These prelates cite the teaching of St. John Paul II affirming the duty of every Catholic and person of goodwill to defend “ the most basic and fundamental right ” to life “ with maximum determination.
” To make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cells of murdered unborn children contradicts [ this ] ‘ maximum determination ’ to defend unborn life.

The Vatican declared that COVID-19 is a sufficient 'grave danger' to warrant cooperating remotely in abortion but insisted that vaccines must be voluntarily received.
VATICAN CITY December 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The Catholic Church’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has issued a doctrinal note affirming that — under specific limited circumstances — one may morally cooperate in the evil of abortion through the reception of vaccines tainted in their production or testing with the living cells of children directly killed by abortion several decades ago.
The purpose of the “Note on the morality of using some anti-Covid-19 vaccines” is a response to “several requests for guidance regarding the use of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus” some manifestations of which “employed cell lines drawn from tissue obtained from two abortions,” including one in the 1970s and another of an 18-week-old baby boy in 1985. The CDF also notes that “diverse and sometimes conflicting pronouncements in the mass media by bishops, Catholic associations, and experts” on the question makes such a pronouncement useful.
Quoting previous Church documents, the CDF first explains that “‘there exist differing degrees of responsibility’ of cooperation in evil. For example, ‘in organizations where cell lines of illicit origin are being utilized, the responsibility of those who make the decision to use them is not the same as that of those who have no voice in such a decision.’”
“In this sense, when ethically irreproachable Covid-19 vaccines are not available,” for various reasons, the note states, “it is morally acceptable to receive Covid-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process” (emphasis in original).
“The fundamental reason for considering the use of these vaccines morally licit is that the kind of cooperation in evil (passive material cooperation) in the procured abortion from which these cell lines originate is, on the part of those making use of the resulting vaccines, remote.”
Citing another criterion for such use, the CDF explicitly affirms that “[t]he moral duty to avoid such passive material cooperation is not obligatory if there is a grave danger.” The document goes on to state that such a grave danger presently exists in “the pandemic spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19,” though the authors are not explicit on where the Church has competence to make that determination.

Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/16/2020) - Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—has spent billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market. Now, the FDA has granted emergency approval to roll out the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and people in the UK and the US are already receiving it. Though the Pfizer vaccine was not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, it was tested using the HEK293 fetal cell line to create humanized mice. And, more unethical vaccines are reaching the finish line and are being funded and promoted by the HHS with our tax dollars. We must continue to demand that this stop and that a fully ethical vaccine be brought to market instead! SIGN and SHARE our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop using our money to support the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. _________________________________________________________________________________ Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—is spending billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market as quickly as possible. Now, two of the Operation Warp Speed vaccines (one created by Pfizer/BioNTech and one created by Moderna/NIH) are nearing the finish line, soon to be applying for emergency FDA approval for mass distribution. And, while LifeSite neither advocates for or against voluntary vaccination, there are several apparent problems with the vaccines being fast-tracked by HHS’ Operation Warp Speed. First among the vaccines’ major problems: they were tested using aborted fetal cells . Please SIGN and SHARE LifeSite’s urgent petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop funding and promoting this unethical practice, and bring a fully ethical vaccine to market instead. The production and testing of vaccines that use the remains of aborted children, regardless of when they were killed and at what point they were used in the process, is morally unacceptable and must be consistently opposed by the whole pro-life movement. And, although the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, the Personhood Alliance recently reported that the vaccines’ testing phases used the HEK293 aborted fetal cell line to create humanized mice. This stomach-churning practice transferred immortalized cells from a child killed in 1973 into mouse embryos, so that when the mice were born, they had tiny human lungs that researchers infected with COVID to test the vaccines. This type of Frankenscience has no place in a civilized society, certainly not one whose citizens are forced to fund it! Sign our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop supporting the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. We can make a difference if we raise our voices together, but we’re running out of time! Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-12-22--Citing partisan leftist group, NBC doubles down on smear of pro-family Ruth Institute

December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — “ NBC ’ s second broadside against the Ruth Institute is both predictable and pathetic , ” said Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse , Ph.D. , the Institute ’ s founder and president .
Following its December 9 story , on December 12 , NBC did another “ exposé ” of supposed hate groups that received funding under the Paycheck Protection Program , using information provided by the thoroughly partisan Southern Poverty Law Center .
“ SPLC has become the attack dog of the Sexual Revolution , ” said Morse .
“ Its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Family Research Council , the American College of Pediatricians , and Liberty Counsel , as well as the Ruth Institute .
“ SPLC ’ s formula is the essence of simplicity .
If you oppose same-sex marriage , you ’ re a hate group .
If you affirm that there ’ s no science behind what ’ s called transgenderism , you ’ re hateful.
” Morse added , “ Like so many Sexual Revolutionary groups , NBC and SPLC have given in to the totalitarian impulse .
Their tactics are meant to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ hateful ’ label on an organization , no one has to consider its arguments .
Because neither entity can answer our arguments , they try to label us hateful and ignore us .
It ’ s a sign of intellectual impotence .
“ The Ruth Institute has fought many of the worst effects of the Sexual Revolution .
More than any other organization , we have exposed clerical sex abuse .
We also provide support for the victims of divorce , pornography , and other forms of sexual exploitation .
“ Far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ credibly accused by its former reporter , Ronan Farrow , of shutting down an investigation of charges of sex abuse against former studio head Harvey Weinstein .
“ So , while the Ruth Institute was working to support victims of sex abuse , according to Farrow , NBC was protecting a sex offender.
” Morse noted ironically , “ We ’ ve got to be one of the few ‘ hate groups ’ whose leadership and staff include Catholics , a Jew and an Orthodox priest , as well as Evangelicals , Pentecostals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with African pro-life groups , trying to help them protect their right to have as many children as they want .
Odd behavior for a group that is allegedly the Second Coming of the Ku Klux Klan.
” Late last week , in association with Life Petitions , the Ruth Institute launched a petition demanding NBC issue a retraction of its December 9 story , stop using the Southern Poverty Law Center as a source , and “ cease harassing and defaming organizations that are working to defend the family , the bedrock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 6,600 signatures in just a few days despite the busy holiday season .

On December 9, NBC News ran a story about what it called “hate groups” that received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from the Small Business Administration to deal with the COVID lockdowns.
The list included such well-respected pro-family groups as American Family Association, American College of Pediatricians and the Ruth Institute.
SIGN and SHARE this joint petition from LifeSite and the Ruth Institute calling for an immediate retraction of NBC's December 9th story, smearing pro-family groups with defamatory and hateful rhetoric.
NBC relied on “research” from the notorious Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-wing group which uses distortions and innuendo to smear its opponents. SPLC considers groups opposed to abortion, same-sex marriage and transgenderism to be anti-LGBTQ and therefore, hate groups.
By the SPLC’s standard, hate groups would also include women’s athletic associations which oppose allowing “transgendered” men to participate in women’s competitions. Likewise, parents who object to men in cocktail dresses and tiaras interacting with children during Drag Queen Story Hour are equally hateful.
The SPLC's "hate group" label has incited at least one incident of literal, not metaphorical, violence. Floyd Lee Corkins, who stormed the Family Research Council in 2012, cited the SPLC’s “hate map” for how he chose his target. He shot the security guard. Conkin further stated that he intended to kill as many people as possible.
And, NBC has its own credibility problems on politics generally and on sexual issues specifically. Bias was rampant in coverage of the 2020 presidential campaign. Media Research Center found that for a two-month period, while coverage of Biden on network newscasts (including NBC) was 67% positive, reporting on Trump was 95% negative.
On the sexual front, NBC’s biases stand out as particularly odious. Ronan Farrow, formerly an NBC News investigative reporter, credibly claims that they ordered him to stop investigating the Harvey Weinstein story. NBC denies this, but their denial is flimsy.
And, in its story on the “hate groups” receiving PPP loans, NBC neglected to mention that Planned Parenthood state and local affiliates received $80 million in SBA loans, and strip clubs qualified for millions more.
Apparently, NBC finds nothing hateful about killing unborn children, nothing degrading to women about pole dancing. With its story on “hate groups” getting COVID relief, NBC has firmly established itself as a tool of the Sexual Revolution.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent joint petition, demanding that NBC retract hate-filled smears of pro-family groups.
And, after signing and sharing, please take time to email NBC to politely express your feelings on this matter. Politely ask them to retract their story of December 9th labeling respected pro-family groups as so-called "hate groups."

lifesitenews--2020-12-22--Mask mandates ‘all about submission,’ Rand Paul says

WEST PALM BEACH , December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Requiring Americans to wear masks in public spaces is “ all about submission , ” not science , Sen. Rand Paul ( R-KY ) said over the weekend in his latest remarks against overreach in COVID-19 response measures .
“ It ’ d be one thing if we were told you have to give up your liberty , you have to give up your freedom , we ’ re going to save your life .
But what if you have to give up all your freedoms and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Paul told Breitbart ’ s Alex Marlow during Turning Point USA ’ s Student Action Summit .
“ Every one of the mandates — and you look in country after country , state after state — you look at when the mask mandates went in — the incidents went up exponentially after the mandates.
” “ The trajectory of the virus hasn ’ t been altered at all by any of these things , ” he continued .
“ I think the vaccine will , and this is why I really despise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] Gupta , who I think is committing television malpractice by saying , ‘ Oh , your mask is a much better thing than the vaccine.
’ Well , no , it isn ’ t .
The masks aren ’ t working at all.

'It’s all about submission. They want you to submit to their will'
WEST PALM BEACH, December 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Requiring Americans to wear masks in public spaces is “all about submission,” not science, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said over the weekend in his latest remarks against overreach in COVID-19 response measures.
“It’d be one thing if we were told you have to give up your liberty, you have to give up your freedom, we’re going to save your life. But what if you have to give up all your freedoms and they’re wrong on the science?” Paul told Breitbart’s Alex Marlow during Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit. “Every one of the mandates — and you look in country after country, state after state — you look at when the mask mandates went in — the incidents went up exponentially after the mandates.”
“The trajectory of the virus hasn’t been altered at all by any of these things,” he continued. “I think the vaccine will, and this is why I really despise people like the CNN Dr. [Sanjay] Gupta, who I think is committing television malpractice by saying, ‘Oh, your mask is a much better thing than the vaccine.’ Well, no, it isn’t. The masks aren’t working at all.”
“And the masks are different, too,” Paul noted. “The N95 mask actually does work to a certain extent, if worn properly and used [with] sterile technique. In the hospital, our doctors — I have a brother and sister who are doctors, they wear the N95 mask, and it’s kept them from getting infected — but there’s no value to the cloth mask, at all. It’s like wearing your underwear.”
“If [Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony] Fauci has his way, you’ll never give up on the mask,” he went on. “It’s all about submission. They want you to submit to their will, whether there’s any science.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition **Photo credit: Shutterstock.com Mainstream media sources are promoting offensive suggestions by some doctors that people who refuse a vaccine for COVID-19 should be "punished" by the government and by business - effectively coercing them into taking the vaccine. One group of doctors writing in 'USA Today' suggested that the government impose special taxes (i.e., fines) on people who refuse the vaccination and that business simply refuse to serve them. [see story below]
Another doctor writing in an online publication called 'The Conversation' shamelessly suggested that people who refuse a vaccine should be given a psychoactive drug to induce compliance. [see story below] But, these suggestions are plain political posturing, and have nothing to do with science or with the recent trends of the disease. And, in case they haven't noticed, we live in a democracy not a medical dictatorship! Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks policy-makers and business people, at all levels, to pledge to respect the rights of those who, in good conscience, decide not to vaccinate themselves or their children. People should not have to live in fear of governmental or corporate retribution for refusing a vaccine which is being rushed to market by Big Pharma and their fellow-travelers in NGOs, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It would be intolerable and immoral for the government or business to coerce someone, and their family, to take a COVID vaccine against their will to avoid a fine, or just so they can do their weekly grocery shopping. Medical freedom must be respected in principle and also in practice. So, it is now time that our policy-makers listen to all voices involved in this vital conversation, and start to represent those who will not tolerate being punished for refusing a vaccine. Simply put, legislatures must begin to act as legislatures again. Questions must be asked. Hearings and investigations must be held. And, the legislatures of each state and country must return to the business of representing the people who voted for them, assuming their rightful place as the originator of legislation. We can no longer accept the dictates of executive branches without question, especially now that, statistically speaking, the initial brunt of the COVID crisis has passed. Neither can we accept the dictates of doctors who seem detached from reality and from science, and who only seem to be attached to the idea of promoting ideas which contribute to the agrandizement of power and control of political interests, and wealth of those who stand to make a lot of money from the sale of a COVID vaccine. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks government and business leaders to pledge to respect the rights of those who refuse a COVID vaccine, and not seek to punish them for doing so.

In the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams counseled against wearing masks, as did Fauci himself, claiming they were ineffective at blocking COVID. But the public later learned health officials actually wanted to discourage the general public from buying masks to conserve the supply for health workers.
Despite the popular insistence that has since emerged that masking is essential outside one’s home, there remain reasons to doubt their effectiveness, such as the CDC’s September acknowledgement that masks cannot be counted on to keep out the coronavirus when spending 15 minutes or longer within six feet of someone, or a May 2020 study published by CDC’s peer-reviewed journal Emerging Infectious Diseases which “did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility.”
Paul, an opthamologist who himself tested positive for COVID-19 in March, has also proposed legislation to help parents move children from locked-down public schools to open schools of their choice, and confronted Fauci in Senate hearings for making “wrong prediction after wrong prediction” about the pandemic.

lifesitenews--2020-12-22--Exorcist priest: Abortion-tainted vaccines are ‘ongoing theft’ of babies’ bodies

December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Prominent theologian and exorcist Father Chad Ripperger has issued a detailed warning about the immoral nature of vaccines , particularly COVID-19 vaccines , which are involved in any way with aborted babies .
In a video interview on Sensus Fidelium ’ s “ Resistance Podcast , ” Ripperger , who also holds a Ph.D. , explained the morality of using vaccines , especially those made , tested on , or in any way connected to aborted babies .
Ripperger clarified his remarks by noting early on that use of vaccines is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonstrated that there are certain conditions which need to be met , as well as moral issues regarding the vaccine which must be examined , in order to determine whether one might use a particular vaccine .
In every action , the object , the end and the circumstances must be examined in order to determine the morality of an action .
“ The real question comes down to : is the vaccination carrying the moral quality of the abortion in relationship to the vaccination itself ?
” he asked .
Concerning vaccinations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ content of the vaccination…can have moral qualities attached to it…Those that contain the DNA of the child…therefore [ they ] take on the character of the DNA that came from that child and how that DNA was obtained.
” “ The DNA from the child contains a moral quality of having come from a child that was aborted , so the derivation of this thing was illicit to begin with , and therefore the character passes into the DNA , ” he said .
How does the passage of time affect morality ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ seek to justify profiting from immoral actions , i.e using vaccines derived from abortion , and who say that the original evil action is merely circumstantial and not so relevant to the current action .
“ Sometimes you ’ ll get people who think ‘ well it ’ s just a circumstance .
What I intend and what I think I ’ m doing is okay ’ .
No that doesn ’ t suffice.
” Building upon 2005 and 2008 Vatican documents , in 2017 the Pontifical Academy for Life ( PAL ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that whilst cells from aborted babies are used in vaccines , the “ cell lines currently used are very distant from the original abortions and no longer imply that bond of moral cooperation indispensable for an ethically negative evaluation of their use.
” However , Ripperger quoted from Father Michael Copenhagen , summarizing the moral relation to abortion which is contained in using a vaccine connected with abortion : “ an assessment of cooperation with evil in terms of distance from the original abortion is necessary , but ultimately insufficient as criterion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immediate category of sin involved .
The recipient is an immediate participant in the commission of the continuous theft of human remains obtained through deliberate killing .
their desecration through exploitation and trafficking , as well as ultimate omission to respectfully burying them.
” Using vaccinations thus connected to abortion was described by Ripperger as “ ongoing theft.
” “ The only way to restore the order of justice is you ’ ve got to bury the aborted fetal lines , ” he said .
“ That ’ s the only way , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them back to God.
” Ripperger then continued to quote Copenhagen : “ While the original killing establishes the illicit character of using the remains , their possession and use becomes a distinct evil in itself .
The circumstances of which do not cease as a form of theft , desecration , exploitation and refusal to bury , regardless of the customers distance in time from the abortion , or the number of cell divisions , or the merely sub-cell or fragmentary inclusion of the child ’ s DNA and protein in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his own words : “ The quality from the original abortion…even though the abortion is distant in time and even in physical effect , the fact of the matter is that the physicality of using the aborted-derived DNA from the child renders the vaccination , even today from a moral perspective , sufficiently proximate , ” to the evil of the abortion .
“ Although it ’ s still remote in relationship to the persons using it ( and that ’ s why it is remote material cooperation ) it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make it out to be , ” the exorcist declared .
Thus , even though a fetal cell line is “ derived in the 1970s…that doesn ’ t change its character .
The quality of the object…remains the same – that is , it ’ s an aborted fetal cell line , a part of the body belonging to a child which was robbed from him by murder .
It is still part of his remains.
” In explaining the role which temporal or physical distance have upon the morality of abortion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ in the case of the aborted fetal tissue , the fact that it ’ s replicated from that means it ’ s still part of his body in the end , and that ’ s why , even though it happened in the past , it does not change the moral character of using the lines now.
” “ So the temporal distance at this point doesn ’ t have any bearing .
The physical distance from the abortion , that also doesn ’ t have anything about the quality of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such cell lines is consequently done “ illicitly.
” Burying the remains of the fetal tissue or cell lines is “ the only way to fulfil justice , ” Ripperger repeated .
His words correspond to those of Bishop Athanasius Schneider in a recent interview with John-Henry Westen , where the bishop pointed out the errors in the PAL ’ s use of the remoteness of cooperation in the sin of abortion .
“ But the problem is that you can not apply this principle to these exceptional , horrible crime [ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ added that using this principle in justifying abortion-connected vaccines has damaged the Church ’ s opposition to abortion .
“ The proportionality is extremely extraordinary and grave with this [ abortion-tainted vaccines ] and they can not apply this [ principle of moral cooperation ] .
This is the basic error and this is already this small hole , which was made on the dam of the Catholic Church against abortion.
” With vaccinations for COVID-19 becoming the ever-dominant news item , Fr .
Ripperger moved onto the specific question of vaccines for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If there are vaccinations that are derived from aborted fetal tissue or have a relationship to aborted fetal tissue lines , then we have an obligation to seek out those that are not doing that – even if there is sufficiently grave cause to have the vaccination done , you still have to seek the alternative.
” “ And this is the problem with some of the stuff coming out recently , ” he added .
“ The real problem with COVID is there ’ s not sufficiently grave cause to be vaccinated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mainstream media ; they ’ re constantly harping on this thing.
” Ripperger also commented on the modern phenomena of how people are losing the ability to even assess the gravity of situations , because they make decisions based upon emotions and are “ literally in panic mode.
” “ There has to be mass death in order for us to start using things that are gravely morally illicit in order to survive , ” he continued .
Since the death rate for COVID-19 is so slight “ it is not something for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opinion.
” However , he did add that in “ extreme cases , that is on a case by case basis , ” certain people “ might ” be permitted to receive the vaccination , although this is somewhat different to Bishop Athanasius Schneider ’ s point that any vaccine connected to abortion is “ already unacceptable for a Catholic.
” Schneider has taught that “ we have to resist ” any abortion tainted vaccines , noting that if we can not use the “ fruits ” of the “ cruel genocide of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this entire determination be and proclaim being against abortion , then , when we accept these vaccines ?
When at the beginning it is the murder of a child.
” Ripperger closed by dealing with the question of refusing vaccinations , noting that “ if you ’ re talking about a [ disease ] for which there is less than a 1 % death rate , and the government is trying to require you to get it , just the government requiring you to get it does not suffice for it to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could refuse a vaccine for a greater good , he added .
“ For example , if , for the sake of argument , collectively people realize that the government is using COVID in order to control and manipulate people , refusal of the vaccination that the government requires may be a way to break the government ’ s strangle hold on the people .
It may be a way in which this is done.
” “ In that particular case it actually becomes something good , ” Ripperger declared , “ you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if it ’ s required by the government.
” He touched on the response which Catholics must have regarding abortion-connected vaccines , saying , “ Catholics , specifically , who have a moral developed system have to be prepared to be willing to stand the line in relationship to this type of thing , even if it means grave inconvenience .
They ’ re going to have be willing to fight this battle.
” “ If we compromise , they ’ re not going to take away just our right to follow our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start taking away our right to worship… ” Once again , Fr .
Ripperger ’ s words echo those of Bishop Schneider ’ s , who highlighted the demonic aspect of making the world ’ s population complicit in the sin of abortion , through using abortion-connected vaccines .
Schneider said , “ This is for me the last step of Satanism : that Satan and the world government – ultimately the masonic world government – will oblige all , even the Church , to accept abortion in this way .
And therefore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if it comes .
We must even accept to be martyrs .
”

'The only way to restore the order of justice is you’ve got to bury the aborted fetal lines,' he said. 'That’s the only way, because you’ve got to return them back to God.'

In every action, the object, the end and the circumstances must be examined in order to determine the morality of an action. “The real question comes down to: is the vaccination carrying the moral quality of the abortion in relationship to the vaccination itself?” he asked.
Concerning vaccinations, Ripperger then explained that the “content of the vaccination…can have moral qualities attached to it…Those that contain the DNA of the child…therefore [they] take on the character of the DNA that came from that child and how that DNA was obtained.”
“The DNA from the child contains a moral quality of having come from a child that was aborted, so the derivation of this thing was illicit to begin with, and therefore the character passes into the DNA,” he said.
How does the passage of time affect morality?
He also made reference to people who seek to justify profiting from immoral actions, i.e using vaccines derived from abortion, and who say that the original evil action is merely circumstantial and not so relevant to the current action. “Sometimes you’ll get people who think ‘well it’s just a circumstance. What I intend and what I think I’m doing is okay’. No that doesn’t suffice.”
Building upon 2005 and 2008 Vatican documents, in 2017 the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAL) released a document in which it mentioned that whilst cells from aborted babies are used in vaccines, the “cell lines currently used are very distant from the original abortions and no longer imply that bond of moral cooperation indispensable for an ethically negative evaluation of their use.”
However, Ripperger quoted from Father Michael Copenhagen, summarizing the moral relation to abortion which is contained in using a vaccine connected with abortion: “an assessment of cooperation with evil in terms of distance from the original abortion is necessary, but ultimately insufficient as criterion, because there is another distinct and more immediate category of sin involved. The recipient is an immediate participant in the commission of the continuous theft of human remains obtained through deliberate killing. their desecration through exploitation and trafficking, as well as ultimate omission to respectfully burying them.”
Using vaccinations thus connected to abortion was described by Ripperger as “ongoing theft.”
“The only way to restore the order of justice is you’ve got to bury the aborted fetal lines,” he said. “That’s the only way, because you’ve got to return them back to God.”
Ripperger then continued to quote Copenhagen: “While the original killing establishes the illicit character of using the remains, their possession and use becomes a distinct evil in itself. The circumstances of which do not cease as a form of theft, desecration, exploitation and refusal to bury, regardless of the customers distance in time from the abortion, or the number of cell divisions, or the merely sub-cell or fragmentary inclusion of the child’s DNA and protein in the final dose.”
Fr. Ripperger continued in his own words: “The quality from the original abortion…even though the abortion is distant in time and even in physical effect, the fact of the matter is that the physicality of using the aborted-derived DNA from the child renders the vaccination, even today from a moral perspective, sufficiently proximate,” to the evil of the abortion.

Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/16/2020) - Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—has spent billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market. Now, the FDA has granted emergency approval to roll out the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and people in the UK and the US are already receiving it. Though the Pfizer vaccine was not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, it was tested using the HEK293 fetal cell line to create humanized mice. And, more unethical vaccines are reaching the finish line and are being funded and promoted by the HHS with our tax dollars. We must continue to demand that this stop and that a fully ethical vaccine be brought to market instead! SIGN and SHARE our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop using our money to support the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. _________________________________________________________________________________ Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—is spending billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market as quickly as possible. Now, two of the Operation Warp Speed vaccines (one created by Pfizer/BioNTech and one created by Moderna/NIH) are nearing the finish line, soon to be applying for emergency FDA approval for mass distribution. And, while LifeSite neither advocates for or against voluntary vaccination, there are several apparent problems with the vaccines being fast-tracked by HHS’ Operation Warp Speed. First among the vaccines’ major problems: they were tested using aborted fetal cells . Please SIGN and SHARE LifeSite’s urgent petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop funding and promoting this unethical practice, and bring a fully ethical vaccine to market instead. The production and testing of vaccines that use the remains of aborted children, regardless of when they were killed and at what point they were used in the process, is morally unacceptable and must be consistently opposed by the whole pro-life movement. And, although the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, the Personhood Alliance recently reported that the vaccines’ testing phases used the HEK293 aborted fetal cell line to create humanized mice. This stomach-churning practice transferred immortalized cells from a child killed in 1973 into mouse embryos, so that when the mice were born, they had tiny human lungs that researchers infected with COVID to test the vaccines. This type of Frankenscience has no place in a civilized society, certainly not one whose citizens are forced to fund it! Sign our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop supporting the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. We can make a difference if we raise our voices together, but we’re running out of time! Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition today!

“Although it’s still remote in relationship to the persons using it (and that’s why it is remote material cooperation) it’s not as remote as the PAL wants to make it out to be,” the exorcist declared.
Thus, even though a fetal cell line is “derived in the 1970s…that doesn’t change its character. The quality of the object…remains the same – that is, it’s an aborted fetal cell line, a part of the body belonging to a child which was robbed from him by murder. It is still part of his remains.”
In explaining the role which temporal or physical distance have upon the morality of abortion connected vaccines, Fr. Ripperger commented: “in the case of the aborted fetal tissue, the fact that it’s replicated from that means it’s still part of his body in the end, and that’s why, even though it happened in the past, it does not change the moral character of using the lines now.”
“So the temporal distance at this point doesn’t have any bearing. The physical distance from the abortion, that also doesn’t have anything about the quality of the lines now.” Any usage of such cell lines is consequently done “illicitly.”
Burying the remains of the fetal tissue or cell lines is “the only way to fulfil justice,” Ripperger repeated.
His words correspond to those of Bishop Athanasius Schneider in a recent interview with John-Henry Westen, where the bishop pointed out the errors in the PAL’s use of the remoteness of cooperation in the sin of abortion. “But the problem is that you cannot apply this principle to these exceptional, horrible crime[s] of abortion.”
Bishop Schneider also added that using this principle in justifying abortion-connected vaccines has damaged the Church’s opposition to abortion. “The proportionality is extremely extraordinary and grave with this [abortion-tainted vaccines] and they cannot apply this [principle of moral cooperation]. This is the basic error and this is already this small hole, which was made on the dam of the Catholic Church against abortion.”
Vaccines for COVID?
With vaccinations for COVID-19 becoming the ever-dominant news item, Fr. Ripperger moved onto the specific question of vaccines for the virus and their morality. “If there are vaccinations that are derived from aborted fetal tissue or have a relationship to aborted fetal tissue lines, then we have an obligation to seek out those that are not doing that – even if there is sufficiently grave cause to have the vaccination done, you still have to seek the alternative.”
“And this is the problem with some of the stuff coming out recently,” he added. “The real problem with COVID is there’s not sufficiently grave cause to be vaccinated for it…People are being brainwashed by the mainstream media; they’re constantly harping on this thing.”
Ripperger also commented on the modern phenomena of how people are losing the ability to even assess the gravity of situations, because they make decisions based upon emotions and are “literally in panic mode.”
“There has to be mass death in order for us to start using things that are gravely morally illicit in order to survive,” he continued. Since the death rate for COVID-19 is so slight “it is not something for which the health requirements suffice in my opinion.”
However, he did add that in “extreme cases, that is on a case by case basis,” certain people “might” be permitted to receive the vaccination, although this is somewhat different to Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s point that any vaccine connected to abortion is “already unacceptable for a Catholic.”
Schneider has taught that “we have to resist” any abortion tainted vaccines, noting that if we cannot use the “fruits” of the “cruel genocide of unborn.” “How we can with this entire determination be and proclaim being against abortion, then, when we accept these vaccines? When at the beginning it is the murder of a child.”
Refusing vaccines
Ripperger closed by dealing with the question of refusing vaccinations, noting that “if you’re talking about a [disease] for which there is less than a 1% death rate, and the government is trying to require you to get it, just the government requiring you to get it does not suffice for it to be morally permissible.”
In fact, one could refuse a vaccine for a greater good, he added. “For example, if, for the sake of argument, collectively people realize that the government is using COVID in order to control and manipulate people, refusal of the vaccination that the government requires may be a way to break the government’s strangle hold on the people. It may be a way in which this is done.”
“In that particular case it actually becomes something good,” Ripperger declared, “you can refuse to get the vaccination even if it’s required by the government.”
He touched on the response which Catholics must have regarding abortion-connected vaccines, saying, “Catholics, specifically, who have a moral developed system have to be prepared to be willing to stand the line in relationship to this type of thing, even if it means grave inconvenience. They’re going to have be willing to fight this battle.”
“If we compromise, they’re not going to take away just our right to follow our conscience, they’re going to start taking away our right to worship…”
Once again, Fr. Ripperger’s words echo those of Bishop Schneider’s, who highlighted the demonic aspect of making the world’s population complicit in the sin of abortion, through using abortion-connected vaccines. Schneider said, “This is for me the last step of Satanism: that Satan and the world government – ultimately the masonic world government – will oblige all, even the Church, to accept abortion in this way. And therefore we must resist very strongly against this, if it comes. We must even accept to be martyrs.”
