On Thursday, August 5, a Stowe physician and second-generation Holocaust survivor warned on a new Open Exchange Vermont video that fascist government, media, and corporate forces are coercing vaccinations with the threat of job loss.
“What’s more sacred than the right to determine what to do with your own body,” Dr. Bradley Rauch of Stowe said. “They’re taking that away through the threat of losing your job. I’m a second generation Holocaust survivor. I’m really sensitive to fascism. We live right now in a corporate fascist country where the government, the media and corporate America have joined together to take away our rights.”
On Friday, August 6, the University of Vermont Medical Center – Vermont’s largest employer – mandated vaccination for all employees. “The UVM Health Network is actively engaged towards requiring our entire workforce of nearly 15,000 employees – including our employed physicians and also for travelers working in our facilities – to be vaccinated against COVID-19, as a condition of employment,” CEO/President John Brumstead said. “Those who decline vaccination will be subject to weekly COVID-19 testing when this requirement goes into effect on October 1, 2021.”
Rauch refuses to use the term ‘vaccine’ for the Covid-19 shot required by UVMMC, UVM and all state colleges (students only), and under consideration for all City of Burlington employees. “I’m not going to call them vaccines, which they are not. They are experimental gene therapy,” Rauch said.
The half-hour video is hosted by Mark Borax from Open Exchange Vermont. OEX was formed recently to “challenge the mainstream media narrative of our times for controversial issues,” Borax explains in the opening moments of Episode 1. He then interviews VT Rep. Vicki Strong (R-Albany) and Rauch, a chiropractor and health advocate. Rep. Strong has introduced four bills in the Vermont Legislature on health freedom issues, including H283 on Bodily Autonomy, and H452 To Prohibit CV19 Passports.
“If we just go along like sheep, they’ll just run over us. It’s time to stand up for our God-given rights,” Rep. Strong said.
“The women’s movement in the 1960’s, what was the battle cry – ‘Our Bodies, Our Choice.’ Guess what, they are taking away our choice,” Rauch added. “They are passing legislation giving physicians the right to vaccinate children without parents’ knowledge and consent. That is insane.”
As if to validate Rauch’s concern about media fascism and censorship, YouTube dropped video about a half-hour after it was posted. The producer was able to post it on another host.
The next Open Exchange video will focus on loss of traditional freedom of the press, and will feature Guy Page of Vermont Daily Chronicle and “Cabin Talk” video producer Claudia Stauber.
