First the Pandemic, Then the Purge
A Coast Guard technician is about to lose his job because he won’t get the jab.

“The pandemic is over, but the purge continues,” Stephen Crampton, senior counsel for the conservative Thomas More Society, told me.
We were talking about Zach Loesch, a Coast Guard aviation survival technician — a real hero about to lose his job because he won’t betray his deeply held beliefs.
As Hurricane Ian walloped Florida, Loesch kicked through a house wall in order to rescue a disabled woman and her husband. Then he went back to get her wheelchair. He also rescued a bunch of cats and dogs.
President Joe Biden called Loesch and other rescuers to thank them on Friday. But afterward, Loesch told Breitbart that he will have to leave the Coast Guard in 30 to 60 days — because he won’t get vaccinated for COVID.
In September 2021, Biden issued an executive order mandating that federal workers be vaccinated. The order wasn’t practical given staffing shortages in essential services. In a nod to reality and the legal system, the mandate has been whittled down and postponed, but it still exists for members of the armed forces — the very people who sacrifice their personal safety to protect others.
This makes no sense: Biden is holding onto the military vaccine mandate even after he said the pandemic is over.
And even after the vaccine’s effectiveness has not lived up to the hype. (That’s not a hit on the vaccine developers. They tried but have not hit the mark they had hoped to achieve.)
The list of individuals who got COVID after being vaccinated includes Biden and the first lady.
