Proof of vaccination required in Cook County for most indoor settings starting Jan. 3 – WGNTV (Chicago)

Said Cook County Board President Preckwinkle, “But unfortunately, with the dual threat presented by the Delta and Omicron variants, and with cases, hospitalizations and deaths rising to new heights across Cook County, we must once again reassess and re-align our strategies with what the science is telling us."

You are more than welcome to come to Texas as long as you leave your blue state ideology in Illinois.

We’ve been very fortunate about not getting commenters we have to ban, so we will leave this up as an example of who it happens to. And Donny, peace on earth to you as well.

Let’s follow some simple science; the vaxed can catch Covid as easy as the unvaxed and they can spread it just as easy as well. Therefore this won’t end until the majority of the population catches it and recovers (most do recover). We don’t know the long term effects of catching the virus, we also don’t know the long term effects of the vaccine side effects. BioNTech is an experimental drug with emergency authorization. Cormirnaty is the FDA approved vaccine and is not available (of course not, Pfizer would have some legal liability if a patient has a problem with… Read more »

When this pandemic started King Pritzker told us we could eliminate restrictions when three things happened. Vaccines, effective treatments and contact tracing. We have the first two and the third one was established and never worked. So King Pritzker is a big fat liar, in every way.

I am going to repeat (with new questions) a comment I made months ago: Every reporter in every presser should be asking the following of JB et al. ad nauseum (in no particular order on a variety of topics): Please explain your stance on natural immunity. What evidence are you using to leave it out of any discussion of protection? Recognizing that we are reporting the same positivity rate now as a year ago, but with 1/3 the number of deaths, why the increasingly draconian mandates? If the two new drugs developed by Pfizer and Merck seem to work as… Read more »

Great list of questions.

You are correct in your conclusion. The goal is total domination over citizens (serfs) by the overloads. The tool to achieve this is COVID.

Our only defense is non-compliance. Unfortunately, 80% of the population continues to comply with every new decree from the dictators.

So sad vast majority believe they can comply their way out of tyranny.

Next question:
What evidence is there to support proof of vaccinations in specifically dining establishments and fitness centers? Is there evidence of massive outbreaks of Covid among their patrons? If so, where is the data? If not, why are they being targeted?

I can just see it now…

I am standing at the bar and some Pritzker appointed NAZI official walks up and says:

PAPERS PLEEZE!!!

I can understand the push for testing as Pritzker owns a stake in two testing companies Cuehealth and Pathgroup, but why the push on vaccines? I’ll see what I can find out. These are the holding in the Pritzker VC group.

he also has a big stake in Shield the saliva based test that he promoted as far as I’m concerned illegally in public school district’s across Illinois

Want a real eye-opener? Read Robert Kennedy Jr.’s book: The Real Anthony Fauci: Big Pharma and Bill Gates. I bought a Kindle version from Amazon for $2.99 – very well annotated book with facts that are truly disturbing and may explain the never-ending vaccine push.

This is the most disturbing book I have ever read. A must read for all. I am about the same age as RFK Jr, and remember a lot of what he discusses about Dr Fauci. HIV was going to kill us all in the 1980s. Fauci actually tried to sell this, not an exaggeration.

Truth in Cook County
4 years ago

Let’s see if the collar counties are dumb enough to destroy their businesses like Cook County has chosen to do.The attempt to force the kids to get the jab is particularly appalling. The government is so confident it is pushing this on our kids, but at the same time so unconfident that is protecting big pharma from lawsuits if things go bad? If the collar counties join in this blatant power grab, or if JB enlists the entire state ( he is dumb enough to do that), then we go over the state borders. Kinda like how they are chasing… Read more »

JB applauded the move so he might make it state wide. Just saw an article in WSJ, UK study concludes you are 50% to 70% less likely to be hospitalized with Omicron.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-k-study-finds-risk-of-hospitalization-with-omicron-50-to-70-lower-than-with-delta-11640281553?st=ufrcdotwvbbdj51&reflink=article_email_share

JB will do what he can to get Bailey as his GOP opponent in 2022. Bailey is on the side of freedom and common sense and some will view him as an anti-vaxxer because he didn’t get the shot. With 60% of Illinois vaxed JB might get the votes. He can’t win anyway else, certainly not on his record.

“JB can’t win anyway else, certainly not on his record”

There is another way to guarantee a win. If one wants to know how, just ask anyone locked in solitary confinement from Jan 6 protests.

If it comes to all of Illinois having a Jab mandate pass, It is time to GET OUT!
I will not live under Communism. Add the extra touch of Racist communism with the likes of Prickwinkle and Lighthead it’s going to get rough.

I heard from 3 families today that are now considering pulling the plug on IL. This is what is going to push things over the edge.

Serious question…Where will you go?
The other 47 Governors are just milder versions of Tyrant JB.
Only Florida and S Dakota are pushing back on Federal overreach.

I was all set to move to Tennessee, but they are starting to cave to Jobama and Governor is also a squish like Texas.

It’s a wait and see what happens in Wisconsin which would be my state. It’s basically a red state with two blue areas, and but for fraud, it would have gone again Trump and they’d still have Walker as Gov…. …I have been in the early stages of moving to WI for probably a year now, and there’s just not a lot of decent housing available for affordable prices. Homes on lakes are insane, and inventory is next to nothing and what has recently sold is upwards of $400 or $500 a sq foot. Even the fixer uppers in regular,… Read more »

I actually hope he does it state wide because it will reveal the complete absurdity of it all and it will fall apart faster.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
