Dr Julie Ponesse’s most memorable lesson to her students must have been her farewell video that went viral this September before it was banned by Internet censors.
“Today I am going to teach you a short lesson on the universally accepted ethics of coercing people into medical procedures,” the Canadian professor of ethics at Western University began.1
“My employer has just mandated that I must get a vaccine for Covid-19,”Ponesse said. “If I want to keep working at my job as a professor, I have to take this vaccine. Here’s my conundrum: My school employs me to be an authority on the subject of ethics. I hold a PhD in ethics and ancient philosophy. And I’m here to tell you it’s ethically wrong to coerce someone to take a vaccine. If it happens to you, you don’t have to do it.”
Ponesse explained that she was facing “imminent dismissal after 20 years on the job, because I will not submit to having an experimental vaccine injected into my body.”
She had taken plenty of vaccines before, but never under coercion, she said in her post—which YouTube deleted within 12 hours—and never with such concerns about the safety of the jab.
Myocarditis is one unexpected safety signal that has emerged just months into the global Covid shot rollout, along with lethal blood clotting disorders, the paralyzing neurological condition Guillain-Barré syndrome, and face-paralyzing Bell’s palsy. These are among the more than 700,000 reports of adverse events logged with the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) including nearly 15,000 deaths, 19,000 permanent disabilities and more than 60,000 hospitalizations.
Doctors had reported 812 cases of myocarditis in Canada, most in people under 30, by September 24.2
But the safety question was only one of Ponesse’s problems with the shots. “There are questions about how well they work. Nobody’s promising that I won’t get Covid or transmit Covid if I get the vaccine,” she said. Indeed, more than 10,000 “breakthrough cases”of Covid had occurred among fully vaccinated Americans back in April, when the CDC announced it would no longer be counting cases in the vaccinated unless they led to hospitalization or death.
In Israel, when vaccine protection began failing and the nation introduced its third ‘booster’ shot, new breakthrough cases among the triple-vaccinated began appearing almost immediately.
From conspiracy to reality
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are being backed into a corner like Ponesse, ordered to submit to one or more Covid injections or lose their jobs, forfeit their education, and be barred from society if they don’t
