Mississippi Health Department offers churches, businesses $1,000 to join COVID vax program

The state wants local organizations to distribute promotional materials and help hold events to promote the COVID jabs.

(LifeSiteNews) — The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is offering businesses and churches money in exchange for promoting COVID-19 vaccination despite persistent doubts about the need and safety of the shots.

On Monday, MSDH announced via social media that businesses and faith organizations can receive $1,000 for participating in the state’s Communities Conquering COVID vaccination education program.

“The program will train representatives from barbershops, salons, churches and faith-based organizations as community health advocates to provide vaccination education and materials to their members and clients,” the announcement says. In addition to training, the post says participants will distribute COVID test kits and vaccination material, and help with local vaccination events.

Mississippi has a Republican governor and legislature, but before July, when a federal judge intervened, it was one of just two GOP-led states that did not offer religious exemptions to vaccine mandates. Even after the ruling, MSDH still requires parents to sit through an involved exemption process that involves watching a “vaccine education” video and a discussion with a state health department nurse before exempting their children from school mandates.

Many Americans persist in objecting to the COVID-19 vaccines, which were developed and released under former President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative in a fraction of the time vaccines usually take.

The federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting system (VAERS) reports 35,911 deaths, 208,190 hospitalizations, 20,623 heart attacks, and 27,414 myocarditis and pericarditis cases as of August 11, among other ailments. An April 2022 study out of Israel indicates that COVID infection itself cannot fully account for the myocarditis numbers, despite common insistence to the contrary.

Jab defenders are quick to stress that reports submitted to VAERS are unconfirmed, as anyone can submit one, but U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) researchers have recognized a “high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination,” leading to the conclusion that “under-reporting is more likely” than over-reporting.

Further, VAERS is not the only data source containing red flags. Data from the Pentagon’s Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) shows that 2021 saw drastic spikes in a variety of diagnoses for serious medical issues over the previous five-year average, including hypertension (2,181 percent), neurological disorders (1,048 percent), multiple sclerosis (680 percent), Guillain-Barre syndrome (551 percent), breast cancer, (487 percent), female infertility (472 percent), pulmonary embolism (468 percent), migraines (452 percent), ovarian dysfunction (437 percent), testicular cancer (369 percent), and tachycardia (302 percent).

Last September, the Japanese Society for Vaccinology published a peer-reviewed study conducted by researchers from Stanford, UCLA, and the University of Maryland, which found that the “Pfizer trial exhibited a 36% higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group” while the “Moderna trial exhibited a 6% higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group,” for a combined “16% higher risk of serious adverse events in mRNA vaccine recipients.”

Own a piece of libertarian activist history! In 2013, the police accountability organization Cop Block produced a one-time run of "Shiny Badges" modeled after the Keene, New Hampshire police department badge from a manufacturer of "real" police badges. The heavy-weight badge features the Cop Block logo and the words: "Shiny Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights,” reminding the police of the incredible delusion required to believe a shiny badge gives one an exception from morality or the "right" to imprison peaceful people for victimless crimes among other immoral transgressions required for the job.

The Art of Liberty Foundation acquired Five (5) of these at PorcFest 2023, and we are auctioning these off to support the foundation. You can buy here for $250 OR "Go Paid" as a $250 Founding Member on SubStack to receive your shiny badge, an Everything Bundle, AND a One-Year Founding Membership on the Art Of Liberty Foundation's Important News Substack. These are the only Cop Block Shiny Badges available on the internet and when they are gone... They are Gone!
