In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Essentially, all health information is considered PHI when it includes individual identifiers. Demographic information is also considered PHI under HIPAA Rules, as are many common identifiers such as patient names |

Employers can force you to prove you don't have high blood pressure or diabetes or vision or hearing problems, requiring a vaccination is no different. And if they want to sell that information to the highest bidder or post it online for free they can do so and it's totally legal.

User ID: 80131027 United States 04/07/2021 11:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An attorney once told me that “any employer can let you go and/or fire you at any time and for any reason.” In a “right to work” state like Michigan this much is true and as we continue to lose every single one of our freedoms to the sick fucks who seem to want to control every aspect of our lives, more and more companies will start requiring their employees to be good little obedient drones and get their gene-altering jab or face termination. I, for one, will NEVER allow some unapproved, experimental cocktail of God only knows what to be injected into my body. There is NO reason to do so. Almost my entire family, including myself, have gotten sick and recovered without any issues whatsoever. This scamdemic has over 99% recovery rate for the vast majority of people and even after that it’s 94% for the very old. Why the fuck should ANYONE be required to have some gene therapy cocktail injected into them save for some insane reason like, oh I don’t know, being able to effectively rewrite their genetic code and potentially make them sterile or more susceptible to other diseases that you know will come along in the future. It is all too perfect of a setup for the elites. They get some fake and harmless saline shot claiming it’s their “vaccine” (and don’t get me started on the fact that there’s no such thing as a true vaccine for viruses) while everyone else gets chemically neutered. Ultimately, it’s the jab or your job. |
