About five hours ago we released a report documenting that nearing almost two dozen nations have suspended the vaccine from AstraZeneca. In that report, we also reminded readers that many in the military, home-care workers, and others considered to be frontline have rejected to take the vaccine.
Now a new report by the AP and The Marshall Project shows that many prison guards in America want nothing to do with the vaccine.
According to the report, A Florida correctional officer polled his colleagues earlier this year in a private Facebook group: “Will you take the COVID-19 vaccine if offered?”
The answer from more than half: “Hell no.” Only 40 of the 475 respondents said yes.
The report notes that many of these officers wish to remain anonymous in fear that they may lose their jobs if they publicly speak out.
Some correctional officers are rejecting the vaccine due to concerns of short and long-term health effects. Others have bought into ‘conspiracy theories,’ says the AP. Many others shared their distrust with the prison administration itself and with its poor handling of the virus. Some even made it clear that they would rather be fired than take the vaccine.
People who work in prisons are an essential part of the equation that will lead to reduced disease and less chance of renewed explosive COVID-19 outbreaks in the future.

At FCI Miami, many guards and officers are skeptical of the vaccine questioning its efficacy and side effects.
The local corrections officer Kareen Troitino FCI Miami warden Sylvester Jenkins wrote in an email that they had been vaccinated “in an act of solidarity,” and encouraged other officers to join them.
Even though we recognize and respect that this motion is not mandatory; nevertheless, with the intent of promoting staff safety, we encourage all staff to join us.
The January 27th email
Only 25 signed up for vaccination.
Former correctional officer and national director of One Voice United, Brian Dawe, explained what he feels is the problem.
They get a lot of their information from the right-wing media outlets. A lot of them believe you don’t have to wear masks. That it’s like the flu.
National polls have shown that Republicans without college degrees are the most resistant to the vaccine, says the AP.
A wide variety of responses were given. Some are simply worried that the vaccine was rushed, while others believe that the vaccines have microchips created by Bill Gates to track and trace vaccine recipients.
I wouldn’t care if I worked in a dorm with every inmate having COVID, I still wouldn’t get (vaccinated). If I’m wearing a mask, gloves, washing my hands and being careful — I’d still feel better working like that than putting the vaccine in my body.

Because of the refusal to take the vaccines, many were given to those incarcerated as to not let the vaccines go to waste.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
And yet the nonsense on the tv screens would have you and I to believe Americans are racing to get the vaccines. Under Joe Biden’s new instructions regarding vaccine distribution, all Americans will have access to them starting May 1, the end of his 100-day mask challenge, and the ending of the pagan holiday Walpurgis. The government, media, and health officials release not as many people want the vaccine as they let on. When everyone has access to them, many will line up and get them, yes, but I think it will be nowhere near what we have been led to believe. And as more and more people get adverse effects and death, more will reject them.
I also made sure to include the biased quote from the AP noting that Republicans without degrees are less likely to want a vaccine. I am not a Republican and The WinePress remains neutral and unbiased towards politics; but that statement is meant to imply that those people are stupid and illiterate, which is why they do not want the vaccine.
The report also made sure to mention “conspiracy theories” several times. This is one of the reasons The WinePress has continually hammered and rebuked Qanon, because Q is a giant vacuum of “conspiracies.” Anything that questions the mainstream narrative is promoted by Q. Therefore, it will lead to more censorship and persecution, as we have been noting and have accurately predicted.

Q is trash. Exactly what you say, they support all kinds of “conspiracies”, fake and true ones, and when they ridicule themselves (which is by design), the media can simply bash all conspiracies under the Q umbrella, and the fool will eat it all up.
