Restoring Healthy Relationships at the Dinner Table

December's Open Thread

Nonetheless, the division I saw sown beginning in 2016 was completely different from anything I’d seen before and escalated further during COVID-19, resulting in many longstanding friendships and family bonds being split apart over political disagreements. In tandem, a lot of it was so shameless, many still haven’t forgotten it (e.g., consider the gift cards, lotteries, KFC, donuts [which CNN repeatedly promoted] alcohol, illicit drugs and brothel sessions were given away as incentives to get the vaccine).

Likewise, one horrendous tactic the vaccine industry had pioneered with pertussis vaccine suddenly went into full throttle.

In theory, if a vaccine “works” you should be protected from individuals who are infected, including those who never vaccinated. Unfortunately, this is not good for vaccine sales as that doesn’t win over people who don’t want to vaccinate, particularly since a non-vaccinated cohort can serve as a control group that shows the dangers of the vaccine (e.g., the industry has done everything it can to stonewall trials of unvaccinated children, but when conducted, those studies consistently show vaccinated children have 3-10 times as many chronic illnesses).

To solve this, three sales pitches were developed:

1) Eliminating an infectious disease is only possible if a sufficient amount of the population is vaccinated (thereby creating herd immunity). This essentially has never worked (discussed further here), so as the years have gone by (and sometimes even within a vaccine campaign) once the populace can be made to accept the premise of “herd immunity,” the percentage of people who need to be vaccinated is steadily increased, and harsher and harsher penalties are leveraged against those who still refuse to vaccinate (as harsher penalties become more politically viable once they target a smaller and smaller minority).
Note: the two major exceptions to what I just stated about a disease being eliminated were smallpox (which was eliminated primarily because the limited transmission of the disease made it possible to quarantine it into extinction) and polio (because the environmental causes of it were eliminated and the remaining cases reclassified). Additionally, high vaccination rates are necessary for pseudo-herd immunity to measles (a vaccine that does “work”), but that situation is a result of our natural herd immunity to measles being replaced with a temporary vaccine herd immunity which results in measles rapidly spreading in communities the moment vaccination rates dip (or vaccine immunity wanes) and measles is introduced to the community.

2) Stating that even if you are vaccinated, it is not safe to be around someone who is unvaccinated (which is absurd as that effectively constitutes an admission the vaccine doesn’t work). This ploy was refined with the pertussis vaccine and I’ve lost count of how many distraught grandparents I know who were told they could not see their grandchildren because the child’s pediatrician said unvaccinated relatives would endanger the child. In turn, once this pitch proved itself, it was then weaponized against anyone who did not want to get the COVID vaccine, and I now know dozens of people who did not want to but did so they could “safely” be around vulnerable members of society (e.g., clients or relatives) and then developed serious complications from the vaccine.

3) Using similar logic to the previous two, argue that you had a duty to vaccinate so those who could not (e.g., the immunosuppressed) would be protected.

Likewise, Biden’s illegal workplace mandates were justified under the rationale that OSHA had a statutory obligation to protect workers from dangers in the workspace. Therefore, it was necessary to force workers to vaccinate so their vaccinated coworkers could have a safe workspace (which is quite remarkable given that OSHA was created to prevent workers from being poisoned and killed by their employers but instead mandated the greatest workplace hazard in history).

Note: what is particularly grotesque about this is that both the COVID and the pertussis vaccine do not prevent transmission (as they only reduce symptoms—which if anything makes individuals, unaware that they are infected, more likely to spread the disease). Sadly this unproven (and highly divisive) theory has long been promoted by the medical authorities, but fortunately, ICAN suits successfully ended GSK’s divisive pertussis advertising campaign and ACIP vice-chair Robert Malone recently shared that the new HHS will no longer promote “protecting” children by advocating for banning unvaccinated relatives from visiting them .
