The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) itself told us that during the 2017-18 influenza season, the flu vaccine was only 40 percent effective. Why is well understood: The strain of virus a vaccine is derived from often will not be the same one that’ll be prevalent during respiratory disease season. This is because viruses mutate. That’s what they do.
What public officials, not exactly like George Washington and the cherry tree, do is mutate their positions. This brings us to CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s statement, at a July 28 press conference, that the “big concern is the next [SARS-CoV-2 ] variant that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines.”
Now, the vaccines were sold with, and many Americans took them predicated on, the idea that they’d keep us safe from COVID-19. The people were promised that après le injection, normal life could resume. “Ha, psyche!” as the kids used to say.
Of course, the vaccine-normalcy promise was the position mutation after “We can’t re-open until there are 14 days of declining infections” (which was the position mutation after “just a two-week lockdown to flatten the curve”) and before the position mutation “Well, maybe we can’t reopen till 2022.” Now it’s essentially, “Viruses mutate! Deal with it! COVID Ritual forever!” Anthony Fauci calls this, I believe, gradually “moving the goalposts.”
Reporting on this Friday, American Thinker’s William Dodd surmises that Walensky’s warning about vaccine-resistant China virus strains “is likely a de facto admission that such mutations already exist.” He also theorizes that this may explain the CDC’s sudden flip-flop where it again prescribes mask use — even for the vaccinated. (Of course, widespread masking appears counterproductive, so the Centers for Disease Confusion can’t be accused of Following the Science™.)
Dodd further points out that if these vaccine-happy China virus strains do exist, “there are two significant conclusions,” writing:
– The resurgence of virus cases is not due to the unvaccinated as the politicians would like us to believe; the unvaccinated made the correct choice in avoiding inoculation. The new virus strains are from mutations that have survived the DNA/mRNA-based vaccines. As a virus mutates in a vaccinated environment, those versions that evade the effects of the vaccine and survive usually become a more durable and potent strain. Remember from Darwin: “survival of the fittest.” The new delta mutation is a “survivor” that is also more contagious. According to Walensky, there may be more such mutations on the way.
– Mandating the use of the current vaccines on the market or any future untested vaccines should cease immediately. First, the vaccines now being distributed are likely ineffective in dealing with the current mutated viruses, and second, these vaccines are causing the ongoing mutations of the original COVID virus.
Another most significant point, however, is that any health official worth his salt had to know about the virus mutation factor all along. I and many others did, after all. As I wrote April 8, 2020, some
experts maintain, and logic dictates, that a vaccine won’t help. “‘If we’re putting all our hopes in a vaccine as being the answer, we’re in trouble,’ Jason Schwartz, an assistant professor at Yale School of Public Health who studies vaccine policy, told me,” wrote the Atlantic’s James Hamblin in February.
…The reason? Viruses mutate, and Hamblin states that the Wuhan flu, being in the single-strand-RNA virus class, is likely to do so. (Another question: Does prolonging the outbreak increase this risk by providing more time for mutation?) This means that the Wuhan virus strain a vaccine would be derived from might not be the strain prevalent during a “second round” with the virus.
Am I a genius? Well, maybe, but that’s not the point. Rather, it is that this is yet another example of how the Faucians have been playing the citizenry (and a few illegals) for fools. Fauci recently sloughed off the CDC mask flip-flop, saying that the science didn’t change; the virus did. He’s right, actually, too: The “science” didn’t change.
And it always told us the virus would.
But Fauci, who helped create COVID in the first place with his NIAID’s funding of China’s gain-of-function research, is the king of the flip and the flop. Just consider the must-watch two-minute video below and see if you can count the flip-flops.
Any public-health official who sincerely played the vaccine-as-panacea tune should be immediately fired for incompetence and possibly charged with criminal negligence; any public-health official who knew better but dissembled should be charged with malfeasance.
As for the way forward, it was hinted at in the earlier cited piece in the Atlantic, a liberal magazine. Author Hamblin, a medical doctor himself, wrote that “‘cold and flu season’ could become ‘cold and flu and COVID-19 season’” — and he wrote this last February.
In other words, we’re likely going to have to live with the China virus. The only question is if our nation is going to die not of it, but because of it. We can allow the Faucians — who are driven by greed, narcissism, power-lust, and/or other motivations — to continue to mutate our civilization into something we don’t recognize.
Or we can recognize that the disease is treatable, as renowned COVID doctor Peter McCullough has pointed out, and that it doesn’t have to be a death sentence any more than the flu does, even for the vulnerable.
Then we can treat it when necessary, and go on with our lives.
It also wouldn’t hurt to then treat the COVIDiots and Faucian medi-tyrants with a good dose of accountability.
