Yesterday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was being interviewed on one of the local radio stations here in the DFW area.
His commentary on COVID vaccinations is typical of the irrational world we currently live in when it comes to the virus.
He was asked by the host, “Jerry, what do you say to the players, Cole Beasley being one, ‘This isn’t fair. The NFL is kind of forcing us to do this.’ How do you weigh the personal choice that we all have with the league and your approach for those who haven’t wanted to get vaccinated?”
After him-hawing around for a minute or so, blathering on about what it means to be a member of a team, Jerry made the following contradictory comments.
He said, “Now, everyone has a right to make their own decisions regarding their health and their body. I believe in that completely.”
So far, so good, right?
Jerry believes in what all Americans should believe, which is that ever person is responsible for how they take care of themselves.
Now, of course, underage children normally have an adult or parent looking out for them, but the same principle applies.
No one has control over another person’s health decisions, unless there are extenuating circumstances whereby the individual cannot make those decisions on his-her own.
Jerry then does a left turn.
“Until your decision as to yourself impacts negatively many others. Then, the common good takes over.”
Oh, really? Since when did something that is “right,” like a personal health decision, all of sudden turn negative, as if it was wrong?
And who determines what the “common good” is, much less how does it supposedly “take over,” as in overriding the rights of the individual?
Moreover, whoever said that receiving a useless injection to stop an unstoppable virus was “right,” much less is a “common good”?
You see, Jerry Jones, like so many people being duped by Leftist-Socialist thinking, does not actually believe in the individual rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.
What he believes in is collectivism and that those who would dare to exercise their absolute rights to make decisions are somehow outside the pale of civility and humanity.
In the mind of Jerry et al you are a bad, bad person unworthy of attention, recognition, or care should you choose to think differently that he and they do.
They have set themselves up as the standard of all that is true and dissenters will be dealt with harshly, even if that leads to misery and death.
Well, Jerry, collectivism or Socialist-Communism has never worked in human history and you bumbling your way, claiming that “We have got to check I at the door and go forward with we,” is not going to work either, especially when it comes to vaccinating people who do not want to be vaccinated.
Stripping people of their rights and forcing them to do as the collectivist state “mandates,” always leads to fascist regimes that people have hated since the first time it was ever tried, with the whole “we’re in this together” nonsense notwithstanding.
Such is the irrational thought processes of Jerry Jones, who, like Joe Biden, probably doesn’t even realize what he’s saying most of time.
But, then again, too many people don’t realize what they’re being told about masks, vaccines, mandates, or whatever these days.
Their brains are in neutral, they believe everything they’re hearing from the local news outlets, the CDC, or the WHO, and so they roll up their sleeves, doing what they believe is their civic duty, and are getting vaccinated.
Thousands of those same people are now “super-spreaders” of the virus, with thousands of them having since assumed room temperature or are currently on ventilators.
And they have the Jerry Jones types out there contradicting themselves in the media to thank.
