Reflections From a Murky Pond

Since Biden has rather badly failed to deliver on his promise to provide the nation with “free” COVID-19 test kits – or, at least, I think he promised that; he often doesn’t speak coherently, so I can’t be 100% sure – here’s a simple and truly free alternative. 😉

Dr. Fauci’s recent up-to-date jargon set some people, both among the Citizenry and the government, off a bit recently. The latter was none too pleased to have to “clarify” his statement in order to keep their narrative pure.

We’re using the terminology now ‘keeping your vaccinations up to date,’ rather than what ‘fully vaccinated’ means.

Right now, optimal protection is with a third shot of an mRNA or a second shot of a J&J.

— Dr. Anthony Fauci

Of course, the issue is that Dr. Fauci is closer to accurate in his terminology than the CDC, the bulk of the politicians, and their Lamestream Media are. There can be no “fully vaccinated” status when you need repeated injections every two to three months.

IMRHO, the actual issue that is causing a lot of the distrust of the vaccine mandates is actually the terms, “Vaccine” and “Vaccination.” While these terms are technically accurate, none of the COVID-19 treatments live up to or meet the normative standards of what American society understands a vaccine to be. The public consciousness – zeitgeist, if you will – has for generations thought of vaccines as providing very long-term, even lifetime, immunity to diseases after a single dose or a couple of doses over the course of years, e.g., Polio, Small Pox, Measles. And, the COVID-19 “vaccines” provide neither immunity nor long-lasting protections.

This is the reason that almost everyone not part of the medical community – and a fair number of those within it – think of the annual inoculation against Influenza as the “Flu Shot,” not the “Flu Vaccine.” And, the Flu Shot actually provides greater protection against infection than any of the COVID-19 “vaccines” do. 🙄

So yeah, like him or hate him, Dr. Fauci is a lot closer to right than the government agencies trying to control the pandemic narrative are. His up-to-date jargon at least concedes to the reality that there is no achievable point of “Fully Vaccinated.”

PRO TIP: Young men, take heed of the advice of an old man who’s been dating/married longer than you, and possibly your fathers, have been alive. When dating a girl – and I mean dating, not just hooking up – always check out her mom, because it’s very likely she’s going to turn into her. 😉

In response to Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s, somewhat tacky yet historically normal comment upon Russia and the rest of the Collective Security Treaty Organization sending troops into Kazakhstan, the Kremlin responded thusly:

If Antony Blinken loves history lessons so much, then he should take the following into account: when Americans are in your house, it can be difficult to stay alive and not be robbed or raped.

We are taught this not only by the recent past but by all 300 years of American statehood.

Now firstly, this is the normal sequence of snarky, belittling comment followed by an escalating-within-the-theme response that is the hallmark of US-Russian dialog. As such, it’s barely worth noting and I would completely ignore it if it didn’t provide strong evidence that Russia is still Leftist to this day.

If It Rants Like A Leftist…

This is the only thing I find interesting about Russia’s response to Blinken’s baiting. It is nothing more than a suaver and more intelligently worded version of the anti-American rantings that we’ve been peppered with the Leftists inside America’s borders for over half a century.

I guess it just goes to show that while their State Socialism was ended during President Reagan’s tenure, Russia is still Leftist in the ways that really matter to us Americans.
