Remarkable take on the ACLU who when I reached out to them had a call returned by a telemarketer soliciting me for a donation but unable to provide a contact for my concerns. In addition to a litany of civil rights violations, illegal dententions, having my likeness spied upon illegally and surreptitiously, I seek a mentor who while I question the clients of the Trump and Jeff variety I applaud the commitment to justice for all. Now how about a little for ole chrissyboy who you'll find as passionate about justice as you will open to hear views from all sides before making any final judgements. Thank you for your consideration Professor Dershowitz. 903.913.6060 or chdpeace69@gmail.com
I understand a personal decision with regards to getting vaccinated, but are the “Door to door vaccine checks” a violation of the 4th Amendment? Right to security in your person and personal papers (eg vaccine record). The government “checking your papers” appears to be a blatant violation. I would appreciate your thoughts.
I also want to ask, the vaccines are still on trial, pharma not responsible in the event of adverse reactions. That is because in normal circumstances people do volunteer to participate in medical trials. Would an institution mandating vaccine be held liable in the event of an adverse reaction. Should citizens draft a legal “vaccine safety accountability document” in the event of a adverse reaction to the vaccine!
Throughout the pandemic medical doctors treatment options were censored by the media, social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube). Doctors are not allowed to alter medical records, there was a lot of real treatment testimony with Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine suppressed why? A virus considered incredibly fatal with (99%) recovery, why wouldn’t any safe treatment be welcome. Also the CDC failing to present natural immunity data is questionable, many renown doctors are finally speaking out! The virus has been around for about a year before the vaccine approvals, there is plenty of data out there. I personally I know 20 people (a few already had COVID) who got vaccinated and were reinfected. No one who contracted COVID naturally & refused to be vaccinated got COVID! Kids are being hospitalized, the CDC is downplaying the figures, why? I believe social media platforms today are the game changers, this gives the roughly 20% malicious people have a bigger voice! Doctors & lawyers follow a code of ethnics, I believe it time media/social media outlets have them!
All 3 covid vaccines are listed as clinical trials until 2023 on clinical trials.gov. HOW ON EARTH CAN THEY BE MANDATED IN ANY WAY? And if it is written in the constitution that the gov has the right to mandate any vaccine, THEN THAT TOO IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND CN NOT STAND. like, duuuuuuh people. Totalitarianism can not prevail. Thought we were passed this in America and that's what this country is supposed to be for.
Coming at this from bioethics standpoint + I’ve been in the science & medical field since I was 18 (I’m 47 now)
Mandating or coercing someone to take a medication under EUA is unethical.
Period. That should end any and all discussion on “mandatory” Vax.
These drugs have NOT been run through the gamut of studies required for FDA approval. Drug distribution studies have not been done; drug dosing & interval studies have not been done; follow up for ADR on ALL test subjects is obviously NOT being done.
Show me the Vd, t1/2, 2-year adverse events follow up, FDA-approval & then MAYBE there can be a reasonable discussion of making these mandatory.
Again, it is UNETHICAL to coerce or force anyone to take EUA drugs.
I have a BS Biology, Doctorate in Pharmacy, Board Certification in Pharmacotherapy, I’ve worked with hospital IRBs for drug studies.
Yes, I took the COVID Vax: I take care of two 80yo parents, the priests at our church (2 in their 60s, one near 80), and my sis is also a frontline hospital pharmacist. I weighed my personal risks of ADR as I knew them in March with possible benefits. For better or worse, I know A LOT more now than 2 months ago thanks to some foreign (& American) doctors & scientists speaking up.
im happy to avoid seniors who r understandably hysterical and panicked. if u have the vaccine and u produced antibodies u r protected. if u add a mask to that and u stay out of crowds and socially distance u really cant get it. my issue is with vaccinating kids and people under 30 because of the harm that it can do in that cohort. have u had your antibodies checked?
CUNY PSC, the union representing faculty and staff of the City University of New York passed this resolution condemning Israel for last month's events:
This petition is completely biased against the actions of Israel (with no mention of actions by Hamas or the PA). The PSC has yet to boycott any other countries for their actions in 2021 (i.e: China, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen, Ethiopia, Syria, Jordan, etc.). Would this support by CUNY faculty violate the federal protections provided to Israeli and Jewish students at CUNY regarding discrimination by race and national origin?
Additionally, since membership of this union is composed of only CUNY faculty and staff, representing over 30,000 members, would it be a violation of NYS executive order to support such a resolution?:
Masterful legal work and I appreciate reading your logical arguments. However, I do come to somewhat different conclusions with respect to the risk reward dynamics of this “Pandemic” and the vaccine.
The concept of 95% effective is often cited but rarely researched with respect to where that number came from. Approximately 77,000 people went through the initial studies by Pfizer and Moderna. Fewer than 300 actually got Covid. Of the half that got the actual Vaccine, they made up about 5% of the 300. Thus, that is how the conclusion was derived that the vaccine is 95% effective. While the conclusion is absolutely true, risk management is also absolutely missing. By that I mean that no one focuses on the fact that very few people (300/77,000) actually got Covid. That is a very small percentage of people infected.
Now consider that the CDC published about a year ago that 94% of the people that passed away with Covid had an average of 2.57 serious co-morbidities. Sadly, these people were already a high risk of passing from the seasonal flu or other virus. Further, about 80% of those that passed were over age 65 and half were at or beyond life expectancy. This truth is rarely shared.
We had a very well defined “at risk” class for well over a year. We know healthy people under 55 have little risk of serious illness. Vaccinating the high risk population protects them and given long term unknowns about the vaccine and the age of the high risk people it is a wise risk management trade. However, forcing young people to take a not fully certified drug when long term side effects are not known and can’t be known seems draconian. Further, vaccination people that have had Covid seems idiotic as we know previous infection give immunity.
Perhaps the employer in this case should have to assume workers compensation liability for any ill effects that come from the forced vaccination. All decisions should have consequences. It appears that right now liability has been removed for the employer and the vaccine manufacturers.
So glad to hear from you again! I do hope, however, that you soon resume the Dershow - even if only in audio format, as the listening is possible in all kinds of situations where watching is not (I usually listen to you while fixing the stables before heading to my law firm!). Your balanced and intelligent analysis is more needed than ever in this increasingly weird world...
Mr. Alan, great articles, first of all. Second, will you bring your podcasts back? I reckon they are of great interest.
Dershow update seconded
And thank you for sharing these articles! If you wrote it, I want to read it!
The ACLU by dint of Orwellian logic has adopted identity politics and now is just a bigger version of the always far left National Lawyers Guild.
Alan Have you seen this yet? Time to rethink your position on the VAX. https://tinyurl.com/mx3p9pny

how would u know? medical info is private
I ask. If you claim privacy, dont come close to me.
my body my choice. when it comes to the kids and teens, i find it immoral to require them to "take one for the team" so biopharma can reap billions.
My body my choice not to interact with you unless you are vaccinated.
Professor Dershowitz,
CUNY PSC, the union representing faculty and staff of the City University of New York passed this resolution condemning Israel for last month's events:

Interested in hearing your thoughts, thank you!
- Sincerely, a CUNY student
It is utterly inappropriate for a teachers union to pass so one sided a resolution that has nothing to do with its proper mission.
Masterful legal work and I appreciate reading your logical arguments. However, I do come to somewhat different conclusions with respect to the risk reward dynamics of this “Pandemic” and the vaccine.
The concept of 95% effective is often cited but rarely researched with respect to where that number came from. Approximately 77,000 people went through the initial studies by Pfizer and Moderna.

We must must continue to research and debate these issues. Thr search for truth never ends.
So glad to hear from you again!

Looking forward to resuming podcast. I enjoy intelligent dialogue. Not twittier name calling.
