Back in January I wrote about how the Capitol Hill "insurrection" was laying the groundwork for Biden’s administration to introduce a much-talked-about new "domestic terrorism" law.

(Article by Kit Knightly republished from Off-Guardian.org)

The piece speculated that any definition of "domestic terrorism" will be very loose, and include essentially anybody the state finds problematic. Including those who spread "anti-vaccine misinformation" [emphasis added]:
What will "Domestic Terrorism" mean in this law? The answer to that is pretty much always "whatever they want it to mean." It will probably be tied into the Covid "pandemic" in some way, too. After all, what is discouraging people from taking vaccines if not the very definition of "terrorism", right?
It took less than two months for the mainstream media to prove OffG right. Just last week the Washington Post ran an op-ed piece by California State Senator Richard Pam headlined:
Anti-vaccine extremism is akin to domestic terrorism
The article goes on to insist that "Laws need to be strengthened" to protect people administering vaccines from being "harassed". That "Social media companies should not be complicit in this dangerous movement", and caps it all off with glorious jingoism:
Getting vaccinated is a patriotic act. So is speaking up to support public health efforts. Let’s not allow extremism, division or fear to slow the efforts to end this deadly chapter in our nation’s history.
The message is clear: anyone who questions vaccination, especially the Covid "vaccine", is a threat to public health and national security. A terrorist. The WaPo is the first mainstream outlet to make the parallel so blatantly, but they almost certainly won’t be the last. Read more at: Off-Guardian.org and WashingtonPosted.news.
