This is a VERY revealing statement from Dr Leana Wen, so let's dive a bit deeper into it and break it down... First, the statement itself...
“We have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status because if everything is reopened, then what’s the carrot going to be… How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine… So that’s why I think the CDC & the Biden admin need to come out a lot bolder & say “if you’re vaccinated, you can do all these things…here are all the freedoms that you have, because otherwise people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms ANYWAY.”
Now, let's dive right into it...
“We have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status
Here, Dr Wen is being very revealing. She is telling us that there is indeed a concerted effort to not only make reopening dependent upon the receiving of a vaccination, but also to entice as many people as possible (as quickly as possible) to receive this vaccination [dangling the carrot of "return to normal" in front of our faces to entice us to behave in a certain way]. This is absolutely disgusting behavior. Also, does this not sound a lot like the fear mongering "act now" scams that one sees pop up here and there? Just something to think about... Let's continue...
because if everything is reopened, then what’s the carrot going to be… How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine…
Here, Dr Wen comes right out and even uses the word "carrot", openly telling us that lockdowns and other covid regulations are purposely in place NOT for any sort of "safety measures" but actually for the purpose of government being able to dangle a carrot (of "return to normal") above people's heads to condition them to behave in a certain way (in this case, to receive a vaccination).
So that’s why I think the CDC & the Biden admin need to come out a lot bolder & say “if you’re vaccinated, you can do all these things…
Here, Dr Wen is further cementing the truth of the matter, wanting the federal government (and its agencies) to act even MORE authoritarian and to more intensely "dangle the carrot" above people's heads. Government is quite literally scamming people into giving up their freedoms and then claiming that they will "return those freedoms back" IF people get vaccinated. It's absolutely disgusting.
here are all the freedoms that you have, because otherwise people are going to go out and enjoy these freedoms ANYWAY.”
Here, Dr Wen admits, IF people were to stop falling for the fear mongering "carrot dangle" trick, that they would just enjoy freedom WITHOUT getting vaccinated (oh no!!!).
This is why decent people, who know better and are aware of this scam yet are still complying with it out of fear of being hassled, need to stand up proud, make their voices heard, and start REFUSING to comply. Such continued compliance is what allows sick shit like this to continue happening...

Remember, the starting 'legitimization' for this was "15 days to slow the spread" .........
Look where we are at now... WAYYYYY past 15 days...
Imagine where we are still headed towards...

I've already gotten both shots.
I've also acquired wardrobe that complements the covid mask which has become an accepted fashion accessory.
It really looks good, for example, with hoodies and sunglasses.
For years to come, sophisticated people will dress this way for no reason other than fashion.
Otherwise, of course, gfm 7175's advice would be implemented immediately. I knew who has the inside scoop on what's really going on.
I swear to Christ,
child porn sites and worse are going to begin complaining that we're wasting their bandwidth.

I see masks as the current version of the 55 mph national speed limit. The mandate is massive overreach that prefers a one size fits all approach to things. It doesn't work like 90% of the time, but that's fine with the government flunkies that mandated it. So, it can be safely ignored 90+% of the time. The only time you need to wear a mask is when the mask police are around to enforce it, just like with 55 mph in the Carter era.
I also think at this point the longer it goes on the bigger the national joke it will become. You'll know masks have jumped the shark when comedians (do those exist anymore?) and Hollywerid start parodying and satirizing it.

I don't care if you don't wear masks. Just don't get near me. You're probably are already disease ridden before the China virus anyway.

Splendid. You are now immune! No need to fear covid anymore! No need for a mask or social distancing! You are now safe from those science-denying anti-vaxxer Trumpers who refuse to get vaccinated! You can now return to normal life! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wait, that's not how this jab works and you're still going to live your life in fear, aren't you...
Why? You are now vaccinated. There is no need for you to wear a mask anymore, as you are now immune.
Oh wait... That's not how this jab works and you are still going to live your life in fear, aren't you...
Nah. It just makes one look like a hypocondriac dork. Plus, I like to actually see people's faces.
By "sophisticated people" do you mean hypochondriac dorks?
Any thoughts on my OP about Dr Wen, who is openly admitting that a carrot is being dangled over your head?

A vaccine has never been overreach until a simple and logical thing was politicized by the anti-science right. We gave had vaccines for 250 years without a crisis. Washington's troops were in a disease epidemic and his army was treated. They did not ask them. We lined up people in New York when typhoid hit. No problem. We had TB sanitariums and people accepted it as the right thing. When polio hit they went to schools and lined up the kids. They did what science said and did not ask anyone, including parents.
Now you dumb fucks are fine jeopardizing the health of the nation due to right-wing, anti-science bullshit you idiots swallowed whole. This is the first time a large group of people has acted against the government and for a weird right-wing political movement. All of ours safety has been put in peril because you guys have serious thinking problems.

Not only is this a major distortion of what women said, not surprising coming from a blog that calls itself "the Last Refuge," but also just another of the right's perverting the abstract concept of "freedom," as I've said, it is comical the way they reduce it to a bumper sticker cliche
Often makes you wonder where these "patriots" would have been in the last generational crisis as WWII when Americans were called upon to make personal sacrifices for the benefit of all Americans
