It was a Monday afternoon in Greensboro, NC. Four men entered a Woolworth store in downtown Greensboro, NC. There was a sign that clearly said \u201cno unvaccinateds\u201d, but they ignored it. They sat down anyway at the \u201cvaccinated-only\u201d lunch counter. Franklin McCain recounted, \u201cFifteen seconds after I sat on that stool, I had the most wonderful feeling. I had a feeling of liberation, restored manhood; I had a natural high. And I truly felt almost invincible.\u201d This led to multiple \u201csit-ins\u201d, as it came to be known, where unvaccinated people went into vaccinated only establishments and sat down and refused to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Following this, there was a well-organized sit-in in Nashville, TN. Several restaurants were the subject of the protest and a few variety stores, like Woolworth. Martin Luther King Jr., who was the leader of the unvaccinated folk, said that the Nashville sit-ins were the \u201cbest organized and most disciplined in the southland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there was the time in 1955 when Rosa Parks Refused to give up her seat in the vaccinated section of the bus. She was told to get up and go to the back where the unvaccinated people had to sit. She refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or how about the \u201cLittle Rock Nine\u201d? Nine unvaccinated students were blocked from integrating into Central High School in Little Rock, AR. President Eisenhower sent federal troops to escort the unvaccinated students, but they were still harassed consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t leave out the Freedom Riders. These were a group of unvaccinated people that attempted to use restrooms that were designated for vaccinated-only citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or there\u2019s the march from Selma, AL where Martin Luther King Jr. led a group of both vaccinated and unvaccinated people on a non-violent march protesting the mistreatment of unvaccinated people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing<\/em>, if you can\u2019t see that this is where we\u2019re headed, then you haven\u2019t read history. History can easily be learned from. If we don\u2019t learn from it, the worst of it will repeat itself. America is on a crash course for just that to happen if something doesn\u2019t change. Is it fair to compare a personal health decision to skin color? I don\u2019t know. Maybe, maybe not. The point is that this is only possible by being grossly divided and there are many that are trying to declare certain members of society as sub-human, much the way they did black people during the civil rights movement. And all over a personal health decision that only affects the one receiving the care. It\u2019s a \u201cdivide and conquer\u201d strategy. And when I think of divide and conquer, the fellow with the funny little mustache comes to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More History:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Adolf Hitler took over the Nazi party in Germany, he immediately began his work by dividing Germany in regions called Gaue. Each Gaue had its own leader. Within each Gaue, there were subsections called Kreise. Each Kreise had its own leader. Each Kreise was broken into smaller sections, with its own leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

See, Hitler knew, if he could just break the country away from one strong group of people into small, weaker groups, he could control them. If he could remove their guns, he could demand things from them because they can no longer defend themselves. This was accomplished by using what psychologists call \u201cde-individuation.\u201d This is where group behavior causes the people in the group to abandon self-awareness and self-control so that they are like the others in the group. At this point, the collective behavior overpowers individual decision making and reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s that pesky phrase, individual decision making. And we\u2019re back to that pesky document, the US Constitution, which tells us that personal decisions that only affect us are ours to make. And more and more those decisions are being made for us. This is what led to the Boston Tea Party. Someone told the colonists that personal decisions were being made for them. And eventually, they had enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are still some, for some reason, that employ the idea that getting a vaccine somehow helps someone else. I\u2019m not sure where this came from, maybe Bill Nye, maybe Facebook scientists. But it\u2019s nowhere in reputable scientific journals. The CDC has stated HERE<\/a> that with the vaccine, you can still GET and GIVE covid. So the vaccine ONLY protects the person getting it, which is a good thing, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve never been against vaccines. They are a great thing and will save lives. But I\u2019ve always been against anyone, especially a federal government, making my personal health decisions for me. I\u2019m also not against the truth. Even if it goes against what my \u201cteam\u201d is saying (Even though I don\u2019t have a team because they all suck). And the truth that getting or not getting a vaccine has no bearing on others seems to be lost on many. Cruise ships won\u2019t let you get on without a vaccine. Why? So YOU won\u2019t get sicker? Concert venues are requiring vaccines. Why? So YOU won\u2019t get sicker than normal at their concert? Because, as the CDC stated, you can still GET it and GIVE it. So it then becomes only a personal decision. Companies are firing employees that refuse to get it. Why? So YOU won\u2019t get sicker than you normally would? The new New York Governor is doubling down on tyranny as we speak and as a result there is a massive shortage crisis among health care workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So where does it end? Do we fire people that smoke because they might get sicker than someone that doesn\u2019t smoke? Do we fire obese people just because they might get sick due to their weight? It comes down to the fact that we are as divided as we\u2019ve ever been. Those that wish to divide and conquer are currently succeeding. History shows us that if divided, we become a weaker unit, unable to stand up to tyranny and dictatorship. History shows us that this separation of \u201csub-humans\u201d leads to separate bathrooms, restaurants, swimming pools, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is simple: Learn from History.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
