Stone Cold Lies

From time to time, when I’m buying groceries, the cashier will say something like this, “would you like to donate $5.00 for cancer?”  My answer is always the same.  “No.  Because I’m not a fan of cancer.  So why would I want to donate to a cause that’s ‘for’ it.  Now, if you were collecting to fight against cancer, then I’d probably donate.”

Of course, the merchant is collecting donations to fight cancer.  But words are important, so I make them work for my donation a bit before finally giving in.

I thought of this when I read an article about the update Twitter made this week to their COVID-19 misinformation policy.  The update says they’ll remove any content that claims that vacksinated people can still transmit the disease.  If someone says it multiple times, they can get banned from the platform.

Another thing you’re no longer allowed to say on Twitter is that the vackseens are harmful.  And, you definitely can’t say that the risk of being harmed or killed by one of the vackseens is greater than the risk from disease itself. 

Hold on to that thought, we’ll circle back to it in a bit.

Also this week, the California version of OSHA has revised their COVID-19 policy for vacksinated workers.  The new policy is exactly the same as for unvacksinated workers.  Regardless of their vacksination status, employees that have been exposed, but are asymptomatic, are required to stay home for 14 days.  Or, if they do return to work, they’re required to wear masks and stay 6 feet away from anyone else.

Now, we’re not talking about people who test positive for exposure.  We’re talking about people who just happened to be in the same general vicinity as someone who showed symptoms of COVID-19.

If the vackseens were effective, then shouldn’t there be some benefit to taking one?  If the vacksinated cause, and are subject to, the same risk as the unvacksinated, why would anyone agree to be injected with them? 

Rob Moutrie, a policy advocate for the California Chamber of Commerce said this, “Treating vaccinated and unvaccinated people similarly really denies the scientific value of the vaccine and disincentivizes vaccination.”

Well no shit Sherlock…I mean no shit Rob.  See, here’s where you’re wrong.  Finally treating vacksinated and unvacksinated people similarly doesn’t deny the scientific value of the vackseens, it recognizes it.  And how can anyone be surprised if giving people accurate information makes them not want to get vacksinated?

The FDA has strengthened its warning about a severe condition sometimes caused by the Johnson & Johnson vackseen.  The disease is known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome which is a strange occurrence where you have a low platelet level and still develop blood clots.

Let me tell you something.  For the past month, I’ve been on three different anti-coagulants to reduce my platelet count…to prevent blood clots.  If I develop a blood clot right now, it’s because something in my body is trying really hard to clot my blood.

If you take the J&J vackseen, there’s a chance that something in your body is going to try really hard to clot your blood.  And sometimes it succeeds.  Even though it’s simultaneously trying really hard NOT to clot your blood.  So, the FDA used a Times New Roman bold and italic font on their vackseen warning to make sure that people knew that the J&J vackseen could possibly kill them.

Not that having that information is going to do anyone any good.  Because employers have carte blanche to make COVID-related medical decisions for their employees.  Even if you are armed with the knowledge of the dangers of the drugs, your employer can override your own good sense and force you to get jabbed, or they can fire you if you don’t.

A friend of mine has an adult son who has kidney problems.  His son’s doctor says that regardless of which vackseen he chooses, it will likely destroy what little renal function he still has.  Because he has a preexisting medical condition, there’s a chance he’ll have a bad case of COVID if he catches it.  But, according to his doctor, there is a 100% chance that the vackseen will kill him. 

Unfortunately, his employer requires him to be vacksinated to continue working there.  The company policy is 100% vacksination.  No exceptions.  So, he has the choice of either keeping his job or keeping his life.

What difference does it make if the FDA highlights dangerous adverse reactions if people aren’t allowed to claim medical exemptions?  OK.  In the interest of being accurate, let me clarify.  People are allowed to claim all the medical exemptions they want, but their employers aren’t required to grant any of them.

But what they will do is let you choose which one of the vackseens you want to roll the dice with to see if you’re lucky enough to live past the end of the month.

So, what have we learned?  Probably not anything that most of you didn’t already know.  COVID-19 can be spread by vacksinated people.  The vackseens are dangerous and, for many people, the risk of taking the vackseens is greater than the risk of not taking it. 

All these things are undisputedly true.  The only responsible thing to do is to make sure as many people as possible have this information.  But Twitter doesn’t want you to tell anyone.

Over at Twitter, the idiots running the company have their heads stuck firmly up their asses.  Instead of helping to spread the truth about COVID-19 and the experimental vackseens, they seem to be doing the opposite. 

At first, I thought this was strange.  Any COVID-19 misinformation policy worth anything would be against spreading propaganda.  Right?  Then I thought back to my interactions with the cashiers trying to collect money for cancer.

I realized that Twitter’s COVID-19 policy isn’t against misinformation at all.  Their policy is a how-to guide created specifically to spread misinformation, not stop it.
