The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

Seriously, Walensky admitted to Wolf Blitzer on national television...in early August...that the jabs don't stop infection or transmission of the Delta variant and that the fully vaxxed and unvaxxed have similar viral loads. They are rolling out "boosters" for high-risk patients. Walensky ignored the advice of the FDA advisory committee and the ACIP and encouraged people to evaluate their own risk. Boosters for everyone!

What more do the "experts" have to do before the "vaxxed" understand they can still get the 'ro, transmit the 'ro, become ill from the 'ro, become very ill from the 'ro, be hospitalized with the 'ro, and even die from the 'ro?

Also, shaming and trashing these people as pariahs is required.

The vaccine is more than a vaccine to them. It is the Holy Water of Protection. It confers upon them some magical sainthood whereby they become Saint 'Ro (amen and amen.)

The Holy Water of Protection- I'm going to start using that. I sure hope I can find instructions on how many jabs I will need in my copy of the Book of Armaments.

Expand full comment

Ah, Aurora of Little Faith, nay! There are no instructions. For it is a matter of pure faith. If you believe truly, the Holy Jab will speak to your soul. These matters are too lofty to be written in a mere book.

The revisions of said book thus far would have pillaged practically all of the erf's natural resources for paper. A thousand lashes for my lack of faith, Sophia!

Agreed. More ominously, someone has called it a sign of loyalty to The Party. In its heyday, say in Soviet Russia, it was Party membership that gave one privilege and preferential treatment. Not being a member, or worse, being kicked out, quickly led to being marginalized. In other words, like became less pleasant. Already in USA (and many other areas), refusal to take the jab may: cause you to be fired from a job you badly need, be refused to be hired, forbid you to attend a university, in some cities, forbid you service in restaurants and many other businesses and public places. Coming soon: potential military court-martial, coerced vaccination of school children, and who knows what else. Point: this stopped being a public health issue long ago, if it even ever was. This is all about political control, and it's ugly.

First the keepers of the narrative sold the vaccines as protection against getting COV. Then they sold them as protection from getting symptoms, then finally something closer to reality-- as protection against complications and death, which is likely to be temporary (something they are grudgingly starting to admit). I'm beginning to form my conspiracy theory. The doctors and heath officials at the top of the food chain actually wanted to speed up national immunity so they sold the vaccines as a miracle jab. But herd immunity is not coming from the vaccine. It comes from the millions who finally stepped out of their houses, because of the vaccine and actually acquired COV-- thereby giving them the natural immunity that is necessary to overcome COV long term.

In case others want to see a video of Walensky admitting that the vaccines do not prevent transmission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGvJYakwztI

Absolutely! Alinsky's rule #5 : "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

Expand full comment

I have Alinsky on my reading list. It's been said, correctly I believe, that the radicals he wrote that book for (1960s?) have become "The Man"! In other words, they by and large have taken over the system. This is the famed "march through the institutions" that the Frankfurt School, also called Cultural Marxists, envisioned going back as far as the 1930s, perhaps even earlier. You'd be hard-pressed to find any longtime entity that hasn't moved Left, often far Left, especially in recent years. I mean, here we even have the WHO using the term "pregnant people"! U.S. embassies fly BLM flags. Now that they control the system, what next? Chaos, I fear. These people, at heart, only know how to overthrow, to destroy. Stability and tradition are alien concepts to them. "Build back better" is one of their current slogans. Rebuilding may be from a rubble, but it most certainly won't be due to the guys currently in power.

The combination of successful marketing of vaccination with successful "investment" in the appropriate decision makers, thought leaders, and influencers by Big Pharma should be a case study at every business school from now on!

Expand full comment

So I am guessing as soon as there is a "new" vax available - the experts will start trashing the old vax. That would be my educated guess. Then we can truthfully find out how bad those vaccines really were.

I don't think most of them are actually terrified. It's performative. Look at me. I'm being safe. I care about my health. I care about the safety of my fellow citizens, especially BIPOC and other marginalized people.

Except anti-vaxxers, of course. They should all get sick and die, so I can dance of their grave so show how virtuous I am.

But BIPOC aren’t vaccinating. BLM started to make a stink about how the vax pass in NY is segregation all over again.

Expand full comment

Facts are kryptonite to leftists. They interfere and disrupt he preferred narrative, causing very uncomfortable cognitive dissonance.

Expand full comment

I was about to say the same thing. I'm pretty sure lefties believe the fact that BIPOC people are not getting vaxxed is a white supremacist trope.

Expand full comment

They really hate when us BIPOC become self-aware. See recent reactions to: Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal (I think that's his name), etc.

I bet they do. they don't know history because they've rewritten so much of it.

No one opposes facts when they support a narrative. 😆 While Leftists are not known for intellectual honesty, this weakness afflicts all.

Ummmmm, I'm confused. Since when do we all have a right to not get sick?

Expand full comment

Another question, since when does a vaccine fail and you blame the people who were smart enough not to put it in themselves rather than the people who forced it on you?

Expand full comment

Sadly, she is probably blaming the people who didn't get the vaccine for infecting her. Meanwhile, she almost certainly spends all her time with people who are vaccinated. Apparently, we unvaccinated have a superpower that allows us, even when we aren't sick, to infect via mental telepathy. Or something. Sigh. Clown world.

It's the new science. The unvaxxed and uninfected can infected the fully vaxxed.

But she's such a good person (ask her, she'll tell you) and she did everything right. It's so unfair. Now her people will think she's an antivaxxer who pretended to get the jab.

Expand full comment

If boosters become a thing, ironically even after (say) six months, the double-jabbed will be considered unvaxxed. I think this is already the case in Israel. Pity those who took even one dose, especially if they had no say (children) or were coerced (Threat of losing a job and destitution is a powerful motivator.) But also pity those who trusted the system. If anything good can come of her "rage," it should be directed at the false promises made (or misplaced confidence?). The vaxxed most likely, took on unknown risks to their health, perhaps long term, in exchange for what turns out to be rather crappy protection. Now they are on the "booster" treadmill: it's reasonable to expect "more of the same" in terms of risk and reward for them. The one group I won't have pity on are those who continue to keep unwavering faith in what is clearly an evil corrupt system, and especially those who vilify us, the refuseniks.

I assume the rage she feels is towards big pharma and the "experts" who convinced her to join an "injection cult".

I saw this tweet last night. She said she was raged because she had done everything 'right.' For example, wearing a paper mask underneath a plastic welding shield.

Cognitive Dissonance: I think CD exists to protect the psyche. Of course like anything it is a double-edged sword. While not exactly the same, young children who undergo terrible experiences repress the memories. In the case of the response to Corona people can't possibly come to terms with the idea that this narrative (people love group experiences--they bond people together--see churches, sporting events, concerts, wars, etc.) involving lockdowns and masks and all the mandates and just about everything has been for naught. It would require someone actually thinking, "wow, for 18 months I've been living in excessive fear and me being trapped in my house, me masking my young kids and myself, me wiping down the groceries, me watching the new 24/7...all this was for nothing?" To invest so much energy and then realize it was worthless is not something most people can handle emotionally. So, they keep telling themselves a story to justify one's behavior. I don't think people necessarily doing this consciously. It's to avoid pain.

This cognitive dissonance will turn into anger/rage (see above) and it will be taken out on the "unvaccinated, unmasked, and anyone who didn't immediately join the 'in-group' of believers."

The various health and government "leaders" and their ilk will continue to point the finger at whomever they can't to avoid people realizing that lockdowns, masks, and now (although I am not qualified to perfectly predict this but it seems like it is going that way) vaccines will not stop this. Constant re-direction. I mean, remember 3-4 or 5-6 months ago when Biden said he asked all the intelligent agencies to "double their efforts" (or something like that) to find the cause of the virus? Did we see a big report on that? You'd think it would be on every news station--the conclusion. But I don't recall seeing anything.

Anyway, got to go. American Idol is on.

What’s she so angry about? Hope that anger doesn’t make her even more sick. She’s an outrage addict that’s for sure.

Always interesting to me how these folks assume that their breakthrough case is reacting significantly different due to the injection. Since still no one can predict who get hit hard and who doesn't, it seems a bid ludicrous. There are millions of folks out there who are not injected yet had a similar or even lesser symptomatic experience.

I'm genuinely confused by this post because I spend no time on social media and don't read this journalist.

She looks like an absolute COVID psycho. Is the story here that she did all the things the Church of COVID demanded she do, and still got COVID, and that's why she's enraged?

Who is she enraged at, exactly?

Clearly, she's enraged at those damn unvaccinated people ! As THEY must be the cause of her illness. But if she really had even half a brain, she'd just have to admit that if you're vaccinated, you're supposed to be protected from infection. But to recognize that, she'd have to admit to herself that the mRNA 'vaccines' do not work and are dangerous ! It's easier to find scapegoats than to admit that. And look at her damn photo. Hell... she's masked and has a face shield. What a DUNCE ! the SCIENCE makes it clear that viral particles pass through any mask (and around any face shield.)
