Vaccine-Injured Pharmacist Breaks Down Into Tears Testifying Before Ohio State Senate

 https://vigilantfox.news/p/vaccine-injured-pharmacist-breaks


“I was a father, a husband, a pharmacist, and a healthy person prior to being coerced into receiving the COVID vaccine ... I would never have taken the vaccine voluntarily,” declared Mike Yoha, his voice trembling with emotion.

Yoha, a once vibrant and healthy pharmacist, suffered from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a severe neurological disease that left him paralyzed after being coerced into taking the COVID shot. His testimony before the Ohio State Senate was a harrowing account of personal loss and violated freedoms.

“My liberty was violated when vaccine status discrimination forced me into taking a medical intervention that almost cost me my life,” Yoha lamented. “If we do not have the right to decline a known risk of death without facing discrimination or loss of employment, then we are no longer free. I implore the committee to vote yes on HB 319.”


Ohio House Bill 319, also known as the “Conscientious Right to Refuse Act,” aims to end “no jab, no job” policies for good. The proposed legislation is a beacon of hope against future violations of bodily autonomy.


The bill states unequivocally that businesses, employers, health care providers, and other institutions CANNOT deny or terminate employment, deny services, or otherwise treat individuals differently based on their refusal of any biologic, vaccine, pharmaceutical, or gene-editing technology for reasons of conscience.


Ohio needs to pass this bill, and Mike Yoha’s testimony is a powerful reminder of the stakes. Thank you, Mike, for your courage in speaking out.

Shiur #03: R. Lipshutz's Attitude towards Non-Jews www.etzion.org.il



MODERN RABBINIC THOUGHT

 

Shiur #03: R. Lipshutz's Attitude towards Non-Jews

 

By Rav Yitzchak Blau

 

 

While the Torah's ritual law applies mostly in an exclusively Jewish context, ethical obligations bear a more universal quality.  Pirkei Avot, a tractate dedicated primarily to ethical responsibilities, thus may address the gentile world as well; ethical maxims in Avot might provide guidance for non–Jews along with Jews.  Additionally, the ethical demands made upon Jews can also apply to their social interaction with gentiles.  No rabbinic commentator developed this theme as extensively as R. Lipschutz.

 

Some background will provide a linguistic frame of reference for R. Lipshutz's comments.  R. Shimon bar Yochai taught that non-Jewish cadavers do not convey ritual impurity to other items or people located in the same building with them (tumat ohel).  The biblical verse about cadavers conveying impurity in this manner speaks of "adam(Bamidbar 19:14), a term that excludes gentiles.  The Rabbis, however, disagree with R. Shimon (Yevamot 61a).
