As Workers Resist, the Left Recoils

“By making social and economic participation contingent upon the taking of a speedily-developed medical product, average members of the global labor force are being placed in a dehumanizing position—either participate in the world’s largest clinical trial, or be cast into a life of social alienation and privation. Resistance to these vaccine mandates has been expressed through walkouts, picketing, coordinated sickoutsmass resignations, and most recently in Canada, massive truck convoys.”

All the new news sites, that popped up are great too. There has been a lot of those. The main stream media is becoming a thing of the past. Their viewership has gone down. To bad, so sad.
