What needs to be done by our Nanny Government to end the seemingly endless conundrum to motivate people to decide whether or not to be vaccinated?
The Chicago Tribune articles today centered on this Conundrum range from President Joe Biden supposedly take-charge leadership to issue ultimatums to business to require employers to require them to be vaccinated, to lotteries incentives, to appeals, to etc. etc. etc.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to relate an ancient proverb. an idiom to this conundrum and the issue of ‘Nanny Government’ being the core problem and in my opinion the simplest solution that has been proven to be the most effective motivation in every society since the beginning of recorded history.
King Solomon
The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. (Proverb 27:12)
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. (Proverb 3:16)
Idiom – if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys
Meaning People say if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys to mean that if an employer pays very low wages, they cannot expect to find good staff.
Nanny State Government – Definition
The nanny state is a term that describes the overriding influence of a government or its policies on people’s freedom of choice.
What’s My Point?
Most older people understood from experience how much more fragile their bodies become as they age and become more susceptible to suffer more complications when they become infected with a virus.
That is if they wised up to understand the ancient wisdom that was evident in ancient times. If a person lived in past eras to an old age, they were considered wise.to have managed to survive to live by living and avoiding communicable diseases without the modern medicine now available in our contemporary times.
My point is, the vaccines and masks are now available and if someone is either allowed into our Nation that Is unvaccinated by government it is folly on the part of our Government Nanny State leaders.
In My Opinion
President Joe Biden who claimed at the beginning of his term that his role is to lead us out of the Covid pandemic is a Nanny State leader that has apparently failed in his role as leader by allowing the Delta variant to enter and spread in the USA under his leadership.
If someone does not want to get vaccinated, and does not have insurance to pay his or her medical expense, it is time to change government laws that mandate hospital emergency rooms accept unvaccinated patients.
If insurers want to insure people who choose not to be vaccinated or not wear masks, they should charge them higher premiums.
If employers want to pay their added insurance premiums for people not vaccinated, it is their choice.
In other words, in a Nation founded on the belief of freedom of choice, it is time to end Nanny State Government leadership on the issue of Covid.
Or as the proverb and idiom relate, if people do not have to pay for their choices, they are either prudent or should be discerned to be similarly treated as monkeys instead of the monkeys who are paying their insurances through higher taxes or insurance payments.
You Decide
Will the USA taxpayers ever wise up and elect legislators who believe in a Nanny State Government type of leadership instead of free choice of adults being responsible for your wise or foolish decisions and responsibility?
Should this issue still be a conundrum in a Nation founded on free choice and responsibility being reverted back by a Nanny State leadership same as monkeys which supposedly Darwin claims we humans originated from?

I think it has gotten much worse than a “nanny state” lately.
Once upon a time, we were a people with free will. Once upon a time, we could run our own businesses if we followed basic rules, paid our taxes and our rent, and treated our employees fairly. Once upon a time, we knew when we were sick, and we isolated ourselves so we didn’t get others sick. Once upon a time, we could evaluate life using logic taught to us by our parents, by ethical teachers, by people who didn’t presuppose they had our best interest in mind whether we wanted them to or not. Those days seem to have passed. It seems like a totalitarian state to me.
Blessings.

Michael,
Thanks for your comment.
In my opinion it seems to be getting harder to be optimistic about the future.
Will need even greater faith to cope while at the same time teaching of faith is waning in our society.

what if the (unproven) vaccine just doesn’t work and some bonehead in the white house decides to blame it on the unvaccinated people who were smart enough to realize it was unwise to take it in order to escape the .o1 % chance they might die from the virus?
I am convinced we are being lied too and manipulated by the fear factor to take a drug that only God knows what is even in it . . . and Fauchi doesn’t quite rise to that level yet. . . . and now what is happening in the military, and the health, and police forces is criminal. . . . especially with the vast amount of research and writings available to prove the unvacced correct in their assumptions..

Pitibull,
I am 81 years old and every doctor I trust has given me the same advice on vaccines. And that is I am going to be ‘’toast’ if I get Covid.
I asked one doctor just yesterday in my 6 months visit at her hoffice in our community hospital if the yesterday hospital is seeing any increases and she said yes. They went from O a day to hospitalizing 10 t9 20 a day all from the Delta variant and most patients were not vaccinated.
I’m no Doctor, and my advice is to talk to your own doctor who presumably you trust and has medically information about you personally.
The Doctor I saw is even have her 12-year-old son vaccinated because he is attending school.
You decide, Your choice, Your life and your family in my opinion,
I am going for the booster shot.

I am 79 and also toast. I am not as trusting as you I’m afraid. I took many shots and vaccines when I went to Asia in the military and I’m sure that helped me when I was getting eaten up in the jungle, but this one is different.
I despise their fear mongering, their demandings, their lies, their blantant disrespect for people and their jobs and all the rest while at the same time allowing millions of illegals to flood our country without even a test to see if they have Covid. who’s to say THEY aren’t bringing in thousands of cases a day?
I won’t be taking any vaccine. Even if I get kicked out of the VA. I accepted death many years ago and I’d rather die on my own than die as an experimental rat. Good luck to you.

This whole epidemic has been planned for and set into motion by those who desire to subjugate the entire world. The UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 30 spells out quite clearly their intention. Klause Schwab and his WEF’s ‘Great Reset’ program has set it all into motion. The video gives a short, even handed explanation. . . . What is the Great Reset? | Davos Agenda 2021
But, although it sounds good, it’s easy to see that they are playing the largest con ever. The peoples of the world have fallen for it because they fear this highly overblown and misrepresented Covid 19 pandemic. DO YOUR RESEARCH . . . Each piece of this long prepared puzzle is now pretty much on the table . . . put them together.
PS. Nobody listens to me either . . . 🙂

Pitibull,
Don’t take it personal that no one listens to your either.
The same thing happened to King Solomon 3000 years ago as evidenced by what we read in the news every day.
For example. Check out my post today on another issue..

We have been had by a well oiled and well run machine. They have the election process in their back pocket and I bet they win in 22 as well as 24. They must own this country till then if they do it will be all over. Whatever happens I pray we don’t end up an Orwellian dystopian state , but we probably will. Nobody cares about the cheating in 20 . . . the entire judicial system proved that. Biden could never win a fair election. Even with a stand in.
We are playing checkers, that are playing chess. We have knives, they have guns. Never thought I’d see the day . . .
