Following up on my earlier post on Covid (11/30/24), I would like to share a few additional observations.
A calling card of the Left has always been the redefinition of terminology, so that words are transformed into a fundamentally altered, or even opposite, meaning. This tendency went into overdrive during the Covid campaign. For example, the term science. How many times have we heard “the science is settled,” or its variant, “a consensus has been reached among scientists.” This notion has been employed with great dexterity in the Global Warming scam, but in the Covidocracy it reached new (and dangerous) heights. Science is what we, the experts, say it is! And we declare that it is settled! This, of course, is the precise opposite of what science has always been taken to mean: an endless process of hypothesis, proof, new evidence, challenge, debate, new hypothesis, new experiment, etc. It can never be insulated from challenge and revision. If it did, it would be religion, not science. Another case of language rape is the word vaccine. My 1991 Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as: “1: matter or a preparation containing the virus of cowpox in a form used for vaccination 2: a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease." [In other words, what every person in the world thought was a vaccine, before 2020. Here’s the current definition at Merriam-Webster:] "1: a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease: such as a: an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products (such as a protein or toxin)" [So far so good, though they did sneak in “protein or toxin.” But then...] "b: a preparation of genetic material (such as a strand of synthesized messenger RNA) that is used by the cells of the body to produce an antigenic substance (such as a fragment of virus spike protein)" [There you have it. A vaccine is whatever we say it is. And if that wasn’t bad enough, a few examples of usage are provided, including:] "Moderna's coronavirus vaccine … works by injecting a small piece of mRNA from the coronavirus that codes for the virus' spike protein. … mRNA vaccine spurs the body to produce the spike protein internally. That, in turn, triggers an immune response. —Susie Neilson et al. The revolutionary messenger RNA vaccines that are now available have been over a decade in development. … Messenger RNA enters the cell cytoplasm and produces protein from the spike of the Covid-19 virus. —Thomas F. Cozza Viral vector vaccines, another recent type of vaccine, are similar to DNA and RNA vaccines, but the virus's genetic information is housed in an attenuated virus (unrelated to the disease-causing virus) that helps to promote host cell fusion and entry. —Priya Kaur” Good grief. A related phenomenon is the abrupt about-face on a point of ideology. Consider the controversy surrounding the views of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on medical issues. The Left is up in arms over his nomination as Secretary of Health. But within recent memory, our Progressive masters were advocating a very similar approach. Not all that long ago, the Left would have asserted:
Well, all that went out the window when the Left realized that the Medical-Industrial Complex could be harnessed to its agenda. Go ahead, folks, take those pills and injections, eat the fake meat, wear a mask that traps your waste matter, whatever; it’s all safe and effective. Big Pharma has joined the pantheon of heroes, alongside our intrepid medical personnel, who will treat you at the hospital, even if you have the dreaded, unspeakable plague. In the immortal words of George Orwell, we have always been at war with Eastasia.

Would it be an exaggeration to say that the Covid affair is a watershed event in world history? We have not even begun to unravel the implications of this brazen attack on humanity, quite possibly unprecedented in its scope.
There is still no single, definitive label for it. I’ve heard Covid, Covid-19, Coronavirus, the pandemic, the Covid-19 pandemic, SARS CoV2, plandemic, scamdemic, China flu, Wu Flu, and others I can’t recall. There are also a number of awkward circumlocutions, such as “when Covid hit.” Years from now, perhaps it will take decades, when the full extent of the scandal is acknowledged by all, we will settle on a single term that encompasses the entire atrocity in all its aspects and ramifications. This is a normal process. Only in retrospect can we gauge the true dimensions, and attach an accurate moniker. I doubt whether the French and German combatants in August 1914 already knew that they were fighting “World War I.” One indication of Covid’s significance and gravity is the reticence of many people to speak of it in public. Even at this late date, there exists censorship of alternate views, and the possibility of having one’s career wrecked for daring to utter words that threaten the "scientific consensus." It is clear that users of the words plandemic and scamdemic are cognizant of the purposive nature of the Covidocracy. Yet even here, there is usually hesitation to go all the way, and state unequivocally that the pandemic was entirely a psy-op. One can decry insane government policy (masks, lockdowns, social distancing, etc.) but still believe that a novel virus was on the loose. I believe that this is the approach, for example, of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, President Trump’s pick to head the National Institutes of Health. Indeed, {nasty new virus + terrible policy} was the overall message of the Great Barrington Declaration, of which Bhattacharya was co-author. But there have been a few brave souls willing to speak truth to power, and uncover the full extent of the Covid horror. One of these great individuals is Michael Yeadon, the British whistleblower and former chief of allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer. Early on, he took reports of the virus at face value, until it became clear to him that the whole narrative was ludicrous, from one end to the other. Yeadon now pulls no punches when exposing the mangled “scientific” research and computer simulations that first postulated a supposedly novel disease; the bogus PCR test; the deranged hospital protocols that murdered thousands of people; the mRNA genetic alteration drugs (“vaccines”) that have killed and maimed millions; and the connections between the Covid campaign and other aspects of the Globalist anti-human agenda (such as digital IDs and 15-minute cities). Let us not forget the gold standard, the American psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Kaufman, who to the best of my recollection was able, from day one, to cut through the fog of government and media manipulation. In his numerous interviews and podcasts, he methodically dismantles the Establishment narrative, piece by piece. Kaufman also traces the ideological antecedents of Covidians such as Bill Gates, and their extensive overlap with the eugenics and population-reduction crowd. Diametrically opposed to these titans is someone who uses the phrase “the Covid-19 pandemic” unironically. Here we likely have complete buy-in to the propaganda. A horrible disease has gripped Planet Earth, and only the herculean efforts of the brave scientists, healthcare workers, and government officials saved the human race from extinction. The evil vaccine-refusers threaten us all, and should be shunned and punished. Some of these people still wear the face diaper, and long for the good old days. For anyone studying the behavior of cults, these (literally) faceless automatons could easily provide several lifetimes worth of research material. A fascinating phenomenon is the use of the word Covid alone, with prolonged enunciation, and with a strong emphasis on the first syllable, so that it comes out COHHH-vid. This is said with a doleful face and a sorrowful voice. The tragedy of it all…O cruel world! Maybe you’ve heard a story like this: “Too bad about Henry. He had a heart attack, tried to drive himself to the ER, got in a wreck, fractured his skull, then an ambulance picked him up, on the way he had a stroke, at the hospital they put him on a heart-lung machine, keeping him alive for three days, but then…” [look of horror on person’s face] “…he died of COHHH-vid.” A variation on this theme is people who speak of “Long Covid,” with the same tragedy-laden facial expression and tone of voice. The words L o n g C o v i d are drawn out, in a fine theatrical flourish. “Last year Henry got his fifteenth booster, but it didn’t help; for the past six months, everything’s been wrong with him…doctors are baffled…L o n g C o v i d is a terrible thing.” The real struggle is against Long Idiocy. And it is an uphill battle. |
