[EpochTimesNovember92021](Epoch Times reporter Linda Jiang from Los Angeles) On Monday (November 8), thousands of public servants, medical staff and people in Los Angeles gathered in front of the city government to protest the mandatory vaccine order.
This is the largest civil servants’ action against the mandatory vaccine policy in Los Angeles to date. The civil servants participating in the rally came from all major government departments in Los Angeles, including the Fire Department (LAFD), the City Police Department (LAPD), the Department of Water and Power (DWP), and the United School District (LAUSD). ), Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), wharf, etc.
The Los Angeles Fire Department firefighter and paramedic, “Firefighters 4 Freedom” (Firefighters 4 Freedom) organization spokesperson John Knox (John Knox) told The Epoch Times reporter, as the Los Angeles City compulsory civil servant vaccinations deadline As it approaches, many firefighters will face the situation of being dismissed. “This will be an injunction that will seriously affect or even paralyze the fire department.”
On August 18, the Los Angeles City Council approved the mandatory Chinese Communist virus (COVID-19) vaccination regulations, requiring all civil servants to report their vaccinations by October 19, and civil servants who have not been vaccinated and have not been exempted may be fired. .
On October 26, the city of Los Angeles updated the vaccine enforcement order, delaying the deadline for vaccination from October 20 to December 18.
At 11 am on the 8th, law enforcement officials told the media that there were at least 4,000 people participating in the rally. At the scene, thousands of people shouted “freedom” many times at the Los Angeles City Hall. Knox said: “We established this organization for freedom, to prevent these injunctions, to save our work, but more importantly, this is a movement for freedom and our personal human rights.”
Firefighters: You can’t force everyone to get vaccinated
Armando Diaz has worked for the Los Angeles Fire Department for 21 years. He told reporters that the purpose of the rally is to expose lies and convey the truth, “We are here because we want to freely choose the right to be vaccinated, not against vaccines.”
“We are front-line workers. We have been on the front line since the beginning of the epidemic. We are aware of some adverse events caused by vaccines.” He said, “Vaccines are just like other drugs. Some people have some diseases or are allergic to drugs. You can’t get vaccinated because it can lead to death. So, that’s why the government can’t force everyone to get vaccinated.”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website shows that from December 14, 2020 to November 1, 2021, the Vaccine Adverse Event Notification System (VAERS) received 9,367 death reports from people vaccinated with the Chinese Communist virus.
Diaz said that how scary the actual figures are is impossible to know; but only at the Los Angeles Fire Department, he knew that some of his colleagues passed out after being vaccinated. “If it weren’t for the timely rescue, someone would almost die.
In mid-October, 871 Los Angeles firefighters, including Diaz, submitted a letter of intent on behalf of lawyer Kevin McBride to oppose the Los Angeles government’s mandatory vaccine regulations.
Thinking from another perspective, Diaz said: “Because we have to fire without vaccinations, this is a wrong approach and unconstitutional.” He also worried that the government will fire a large number of experienced firefighters due to mandatory orders. People call When calling for help on 911, there will be a dilemma that no one will respond immediately, which inadvertently puts public safety at risk.
Pastor: More harmful than virus vaccines
Rob McCoy, the former Mayor of Thousand Oaks and Pastor of Codspeak Calvary Chapel, also attended the rally that day. He told reporters that the current so-called CCP virus “vaccine” is at best an “experimental injection drug.” He also said that compared with the 99.7% survival rate of the CCP virus, the vaccine kills people at a higher rate.
“The result of this experimental injection is that many of our children have died of myocarditis and pericarditis.” He said, “The (compulsory vaccine order) has nothing to do with public safety. It is purely for the purpose of control.”
As a result, he came to the rally to express his support for the first-line rescuers, “They (first-line rescuers) are guarding children, and they are also defending direct rights in the community. They are true heroes and they are fighting tyranny. .”
“The governor is out of control, we need to oppose this tyranny, otherwise we will lose this republic.” McCoy said.
People: Oppose the injunction to reject communism
At the rally, many people realized that the mandatory vaccination order has nothing to do with public safety, but a tool for the government to promote dictatorship. Claudia Godoy (Claudia Godoy) and her family held a sign saying “Don’t enforce a vaccination order, it is a confrontation between American free society and communism”, standing in the rally.
Godoy said: “People should have the right to choose freely. This is the foundation of the United States. I am not against vaccines. People can choose freely if they want to be vaccinated. But this is the United States. The government should not force vaccines to be injected. In our body, so we will not be silent, we will resist.”
She also mentioned that her daughter is a teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District and has been forced to leave her job without pay for one month due to the current injunction.
As a firefighter, Diaz also added that if people fail to guard the last line of defense on the issue of mandatory vaccination orders, and tacitly admit that the government injects drugs into individuals, then the government will take away more freedom of people step by step. Power and exercise stricter control. “What they (the City of Los Angeles) are trying to do is to attack first-line rescuers and civil servants first. If they can get rid of us, then other citizens (the government) can easily control you.” ◇#
