What the Immaculate Conception can teach us about the vax mandate
Summary
Workers across the globe are being fired, suspended, and laid off because they refuse to submit to government mandates to get the so-called "cocaine and immunosuppressive " jab. This is complete insanity, and we need to fight back.

This is John Henry Weston for LifeSite News. Welcome friends to this very important conference
00:00:04.980
which we will hear first-hand testimony from those fired for freedom, from medical professionals
00:00:11.680
pointing out the unreasonableness of these actions, from lawyers fighting for the rights
00:00:16.360
of those who are bravely fighting not only for their own rights but also for the good of society
00:00:22.100
in the future, for our children to live free of tyranny which now threatens to envelop the whole
00:00:27.700
world. Around the globe cases are exploding of workers not only in healthcare but in all fields
00:00:34.800
being fired, suspended without pay, laid off because they, for a host of reasons, refuse to submit to
00:00:42.580
the taking of the COVID jab being mandated by governments and employers without justification
00:00:47.540
or reason. You know the insanity of the jab mandate policies is evident especially in the jab mandates
00:00:54.620
for like telehealth and other employees who work remotely from their own homes but are nonetheless
00:01:00.880
fired from their jobs for not getting the COVID jab even though it's impossible for them as remote
00:01:07.900
employees to transmit any disease let alone COVID. So it is the same with university and college students
00:01:16.420
attending classes via Zoom who are forced out of their universities and colleges. Why? For refusing
00:01:23.220
the so-called vaccine. This is complete insanity. But here we are in an insane time that sees competent,
00:01:31.940
loyal, hard-working employees being fired and suspended without pay for refusing to consent to a demand to
00:01:39.120
violate their bodily integrity for refusing to bow to an unwanted, unneeded, unethical, and in fact immoral
00:01:46.780
medical intervention. Things are so extreme that just this week New York City issued mandates requiring
00:01:55.380
all private sector employees to become fully vaccinated with two shots in order to access restaurants,
00:02:01.260
gyms, entertainment venues, and even get this, requiring young children ages 5 to 11 to show proof of
00:02:09.080
vaccination to enter public spaces as of December 14th next week. Look, as you know, when things reach
00:02:18.420
such a fever pitch, this total craziness, when all rationality is thrown out the window, you know that
00:02:26.200
the time is near for collapse. Just like animals when they fight, they fight the hardest when they're about
00:02:32.660
to die. And so too politicians become the most extreme when they are about to suffer defeat. And it is
00:02:40.000
surely seeming that defeat is coming. As true heroes across the globe fight back, standing up for their
00:02:47.420
own rights, for those of others, rights to medical freedom, rights to bodily integrity, rights to
00:02:52.760
conscientious objection. A Toronto paramedic on unpaid leave for refusing the COVID shots has witnessed
00:03:00.000
firsthand their negative effects. She said that her city of Toronto in Canada faces a critical ambulance
00:03:06.840
shortage as a result of municipal vaccine mandates. Her name is Scarlett Martin, and she's a member of,
00:03:16.100
and she's actually, she's a mother of four. And by the way, in the past was awarded an exemplary
00:03:22.340
service medal for her work. She warned that the city of Toronto Ambulance Service is brutally
00:03:27.660
short-staffed. She said that the last week, the last weekend she worked there, there were times,
00:03:34.760
and this is a direct quote, it was night shift over the weekend when several locations had no ambulances
00:03:41.520
to send. Response times are through the roof. It's bad. It will have a huge impact on survivability
00:03:48.340
and lives lost, end quote. And it's not only those in healthcare that are seeing through the charade
00:03:55.120
of a mandated vaccine. The geniuses over at Google are also fighting back. A group of 600 Google
00:04:02.420
employees has written a manifesto demanding that the tech giant management immediately rescind a COVID
00:04:08.940
shot mandate for its employees. And what I love to see is that it's not only the unvaccinated fighting
00:04:15.680
the mandates, there are all sorts of vaccinated men and women standing up for the freedom for their
00:04:21.220
friends and family, for their colleagues, for their fellow citizens who choose not to be vaccinated.
00:04:26.260
And it's starting to work, but we need to stay strong. Just last week, the Biden administration
00:04:32.700
centers for Medicare and Medicaid services announced, and this was actually just last Thursday,
00:04:38.840
they announced that it will temporarily halt the enforcement of its vaccine mandate for healthcare
00:04:45.740
workers, pending appeal of a federal injunction blocking the measure. On September the 9th,
00:04:53.660
President Joe Biden announced that a series of vaccine mandates for the public were going into
00:04:58.640
effect for private sectors alike, including one with no testing option for around 17 million healthcare
00:05:05.400
workers at medical facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding. So far, 22 states are suing the
00:05:13.580
administration over the move across two different joint suits. So we need to stay strong right now.
00:05:20.780
We need to stay strong. We need to push back. We need to be there to support our brothers and sisters
00:05:25.980
who have lost their jobs and need help right now. So we can all triumph over the tyranny that aims to
00:05:34.020
banish our hard-won freedom. Look, today, on December the 7th, we are on the eve of the feast in the
00:05:42.820
Catholic Church known as the Immaculate Conception. It's the feast celebrated to commemorate God's
00:05:47.300
sparing of the Blessed Virgin Mary from original sin. It was in preparation for her to become the
00:05:53.540
unstained mother of the Savior, the divine vessel that would bring the Christ into this world.
00:05:58.820
You know, and as we all prepare now for Christmas, these are all thoughts in our hearts. But despite
00:06:06.400
all of that preparation that God did, that Almighty God Himself would not violate Mary's free will,
00:06:14.400
her bodily integrity. In the most well-known verses in all of Scripture, really, verses that we are
00:06:20.700
commemorating right now in the lead-up to Christmas, God Almighty asks, through the angel Gabriel, a poor
00:06:28.160
young girl, or young woman, to accept His offer to her to be the mother of the Savior. We read in the
00:06:36.640
book of Luke, in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth
00:06:43.120
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David, and the virgin's name was
00:06:48.200
Mary. And he came to her and said, Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. But she was greatly
00:06:53.980
troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel
00:06:59.660
said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God, and behold, thou wilt conceive
00:07:05.000
and bear in thy womb a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He will be great, and be called the Son of
00:07:11.460
the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the
00:07:16.900
house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. And then it says that Mary said
00:07:23.340
to the angel, How can this be, since I have no husband? And the angel replied to her, The Holy
00:07:29.360
Spirit will come upon thee, the power of the Most High will overshadow you, therefore the child to be
00:07:34.860
born of thee shall be called Holy, the Son of God. And behold, thy kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age
00:07:41.440
has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren, for with God
00:07:47.560
nothing will be impossible. And then Mary gives her great answer, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord,
00:07:54.220
be done to me according to thy word. And the angel then departed from her. You know, the church has
00:07:59.940
always placed so much emphasis on Mary's yes, on what is called her fiat, as the moment on which
00:08:08.040
salvation history hinged, as Saint Pope John Paul II wrote in his 1987 encyclical Redemptoris Mater
00:08:16.460
on the Blessed Virgin Mary. And I quote from him, The Father of Mercies willed that the consent
00:08:24.280
of the predestined mother should precede the incarnation. And Mary gives this consent after
00:08:31.860
she has heard everything the messenger has had to say. She says, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord,
00:08:37.480
let it be done to me according to your word. This fiat of Mary, says Pope Saint John Paul II,
00:08:44.600
let it be done to me, was decisive on the human level for the accomplishment of the divine mystery.
00:08:52.320
Pope Saint John Paul II goes on to say in the same encyclical, The mystery of the incarnation was
00:08:57.720
accomplished when Mary uttered her fiat, Let it be to me according to thy word, which made possible,
00:09:04.940
as far as it depended upon her in the divine plan, the granting of her son's desire. End quote.
00:09:12.180
That desire, of course, was to be our Savior, to come to earth to redeem us. So the need of Mary's
00:09:19.780
consent to bear the Son of God is memorialized even over a thousand years ago in the writings of
00:09:28.140
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in one of his famous homilies on Our Lady, where he preached poetically
00:09:33.660
addressing the Blessed Virgin Mary. And he said, quote, Say the word and receive the word. Give yours and
00:09:41.080
conceive God's. Breathe one fleeting word and embrace the everlasting word. Blessed Virgin, open your heart
00:09:48.140
to faith, your lips to consent, and your womb to your Creator. Behold, the long desired of all nations
00:09:55.460
is standing at the door and knocking. End quote. Knocking. The Almighty is asking the permission
00:10:04.900
to enter the womb of one of his own creatures, because he will not violate his gift of free will.
00:10:12.500
The fulfillment of Mary's yes is seen in her own canticle of rejoicing, known as the Magnificat,
00:10:18.880
in which Mary says, My soul magnifies the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God my Savior, because he has
00:10:23.840
regarded the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will call me
00:10:29.380
blessed, for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. Look, if Almighty God
00:10:36.860
would not violate the bodily integrity of a poor young girl in Nazareth, how dare anyone think to do so
00:10:44.860
today. We must stand strong. We must stand and support those fired for freedom right now, so that
00:10:53.880
we can bring freedom back to our lands, freedom for ourselves, freedom for our neighbors, for our
00:10:59.620
children, and for our grandchildren. LifeSite is so proud to sponsor this Truth for Health Foundation
00:11:11.520
We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms
00:11:16.920
to continue to reach you. We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going
00:11:22.740
to explain in a minute, but the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com,
00:11:28.440
because there we will always be. But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler
00:11:34.440
and MeWe, and our videos can be found on Rumble as well. We would love to see each of you on those
00:11:41.160
platforms too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every
00:11:46.260
single day. More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe
00:11:52.720
to our email newsletter. We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing
00:11:59.040
platform. And we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when,
00:12:06.620
we are removed from our current platform as well. Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said
00:12:12.900
before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com. Make it your homepage. While all of
00:12:20.840
these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means
00:12:26.820
that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite News reporting. Here's the
00:12:32.800
thing. We will never stop sharing the truth. We founded this organization with the mission to be
00:12:39.840
the life, family, and culture source for men and women who seek to know the truth. We have established
00:12:46.720
a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with censorship happening around the
00:12:54.100
globe. Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list. You can find
00:13:02.160
all the direct links in the description of this video. May God bless you and keep you, and we are so
00:13:08.740
thankful that you've chosen to follow and support LifeSite News. I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and
