Setting aside the ‘double mutant’ schtick (shillery aimed at encouraging jab uptake among they pesky young 'uns, Mercola suggests) the article makes a good primer on propaganda techniques and the clamp-down on free circulation of ideas:
There are no absolute truths in medicine. It all depends. Many individual factors come into play. Staub continues:
“Whereas misinformation merely refers to inaccurate or misleading information, the label of disinformation implies an intent to deceive. Both have served as the source of much consternation and hand-wringing from media figures and politicians alike …
While our inability as a society to agree on basic facts is certainly a problem, what should be self-evident is that misinformation and disinformation naturally abound when there is very little trust in sense-making institutions.
If the information sources that are deemed ‘authoritative’ are so often wrong or misleading, and inspire little public confidence, is it any wonder that people turn to alternatives? Misinformation and disinformation are natural consequences of our public institutions’ inconsistency and incompetence.”
Inconstancy and incompetence? Or malignant hidden agendas served quite effectively? As one putting my trust in the age-old effectiveness of natural immunisation processes - in properly-healthy bodies, of course - to deal with all pathogens, i don’t give a toss about mutants and variants. Always been plenty of those around. Understandably, the immune systems of those of us still around are well-evolved to deal with them without breaking sweat. We need no commercial ‘miracle’ enhancements to stay well.
My thoughts exactly Rhis - malignant agendas along with a certain amount of improvisation and manipulation to steer the dark ship of Empire across the Styx into the netherworld. The most effective technique is to make mass media believe the disinformation and regurgitate it as fact, relying on some disinformation leaders like the BBC and Guardian and certain influential opinion scientists like Dr Faustus.
BTW, I have NO evidence, but I believe strongly on the basis of past knowledge that natural immunity to this virus will be effective against any mutant strains as the T-cell response is against the whole virus while the mutations are only in specific areas of the spikes. The extreme specificity of the vaccines, particularly the mRNA ones, means that they are quite likely to be less effective against significantly altered strains, and therefore “needing” a booster shot. Going on their performance so far, this was always the intention, locking us into a world of zombies dressed in blue bottle suits and Pavlovian directions from loudspeakers on correct behaviour.
Australia is now talking of vaccinating the WHOLE population by the end of the year, which naturally includes teenagers and children, yet there is NO discussion of their lack of need for vax against this flu or their immunity to it. In fact the AZ vaccine suspension made big news, and the cancellation of a trial on 3000 kids on the same day hardly got noted.
