There I was on the internet, minding the world’s business when I came across this tweet from the New York Post containing an article with the headline “Anti-mandate teacher in Illinois reveals she had been vaccinated for months.”
Before I proceed, I want to commend the New York Post for using the term “anti-mandate” instead of using the term “anti-vax” as the two aren’t mutually exclusive, and that’s what I want to focus on for a moment.
The article centers around Illinois teacher Kadence Koen who had refused to provide proof of having had the vaccine or submitting to weekly testing for the virus. Instead, she took unpaid leave, and all of it because she was (as the title suggested) against the vaccine mandates.
Ah, but a twist: But the 43-year-old teacher, who is on unpaid leave until Nov. 17, finally uploaded a copy of her vaccination card to Gina McLaughlin-Schurman, the district’s assistant superintendent of human resources, the news outlet said. It showed she got her first dose in June and the second on July 19, well before Gov. JB Pritzker issued the mandate about school personnel. Koen, who until Wednesday had to fulfill a “remediation plan” set out by the district on Oct. 27, also posted her vaccination card on her Facebook page on Saturday, saying she expected to be back in class after revealing her status. She said she decided to come clean because she wanted to get back to her students. Koen said that if she was going to be forced to choose between her personal beliefs and her students, then she chooses her students, and added that she can’t imagine her life without teaching.
Amid the article was a post that Koen had made on Facebook of her frustrated cartoon avatar amid a background of flames containing the text “Anti-mandate does not mean anti-vaccination. It means pro-freedom, pro-medical autonomy, pro-liberty. Shouldn’t all Americans agree with freedom of choice?”
I agree wholeheartedly, and I think the word anti-vaxxer gets thrown around in the same way I see many accusatory labels like […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
