While Medical Freedmom should technically be covered in the 4th, 9th, and 14th. He wanted an ammendment specifically for medical freedom. He saw the power the government could use to stir up the masses over a health scare. Rush might be one of the most underrated founders, and greatest thinkers.

quote:

Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.


quote:


...This large and expensive stock of drugs will be unnecessary. By...doses of...medicines...multiplying...combining them properly, 20 to 30 articles, aided by the common resources of the lancet, a garden, a kitchen, fresh air, cool water, exercise, will be sufficient to cure all the diseases that are at present under the power of medicine.


quote:

The only foundation for . . . a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments

Even if it was in there we would be in the same position we are in now. The left doesnt care about the Bill of Rights and the courts dont either

Anything health or financial related, our governing body should be subject to the same standards or higher as the population they’re governing.

The fact that politicians are exempt from the vaccine mandate speaks all the volumes in the world about the vaccines efficacy and intent.

Lewis and Clark took a large portion of Rush's cure all pill s with them on the Corp of Discovery. The men referred to them as "Rush Thunderbolts", worked better than a mexican buffet and a bottle of tequila...course not the best thing for you if you were dehydrated.
