Here is the scenario:

A Friend on facebook posted they are now six moderna boosters in.

I said, I had Covid twice in 2020...am a product of natural infection and thus have no need of boosters.

Another friend posted that I should rethink that, get the booster because there are 30 variants out there and one of them could go around my natural immunity.

They also stated that they got the booster and just got Covid last month. And that's why I should get the booster.

So essentially it is : "You should get the boosters because they work....I should know because I got the booster and got Covid anyhow."

These words...I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Doublethink 101:

"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink."

Pissing in the ocean to raise the sea level will also work, but not make a big difference.

And I suspect that the damaging side effects of the various "COVID mitigations" have been far worse than those of a discharge of urine.

We’re talking about Pravda on the Hudson, so door #2 all the way.

Today I get a magazine from one of the local hospital groups. One the cover is a smiling youngish man, the caption basically reads, "Only 24- but our cardiac department saved him!" I'm rolling my eyeballs so much I can't even get up my driveway. They are normalizing this so much and the normies are never going to think about it because the local hospital rag says this happens all the time. How valiant of them to altruistically save so many people!

Dear gatito bueno, you deserve a nice big fish! I am just a transcriber, so forgive me if this is an obvious observation, but it seems to me that these people you quote, they must be living in that place with Chesire Cat.

They work because the 'experts' want to be able to do all the stuff they did to you during covid....

I saw a video of Fauci admitting masks didn't work on a large scale, but worked for the individual.

Not macro, but Micro.

I thought "WTF?"

He must be counting on the lack off teaching critical thinking skills to the masses, because his "Dr. Scienci" statement makes absolutely no sense.

Total lack of awareness - not so astonishing.
