Exposing Mass Formation Messages - Wrap-Up
Dissecting all Covid propaganda messages and putting them in a point/counterpoint format.
This is a continuation of “Exposing Mass Formation Messages - Take 2”
We have just few more Covidian indoctrination cliches to process:
Message. “The benefits outweigh the risks”
Retort. Whenever a Covid vaccine is involved, no matter your age, health issues or lifestyle, this single answer is given to you as a divine truth. No matter what, you better take the next jab whenever you become eligible [again]. When it comes to the decisions about one’s treatment options that may result in a severe injury, permanent life-altering bodily damage, or death, the principle of informed consent has been a golden standard for a reason. The state ordering citizens to take a vaccine prone to all of the aforementioned mentioned eventualities, at any predictable rate, is tantamount to ordering their execution or maiming. If, after being honestly informed, without undue pressure, an individual or a parent of a minor decides that a medical procedure is warranted in their particular situation, it becomes their choice. But following the propaganda push from the “authorities” (i.e., some bureaucrats following whatever agenda for whatever their reasons) is an ultimate folly. Like, “take it for the team”, “we are all in it together”, “protect the vulnerable”, “don’t be selfish”, and so on. It will be you that bear the consequences (if you can), not them. And if they have been wrong in their opinions, they will turn on a dime and tell you that the science has changed and you should have done your due diligence. What’s the worst that can happen? Something like when a person that has been in no risk at all (1 in 10,000,000 or even not that) takes the jabs that have 1 in less that 10,000 probability of killing or maiming you every time you get it. 100 people or more will die
or more get maimed
for every one person that may escape death for a disease, provided the jabs work as advertised. Do you want to be one of those 100 people in your million that died for nothing?
Reality. “Don’t be an easy prey — do not fall for the cheerful propaganda! Take your time, do your own homework. Remember: whatever you decide, you and/or yours will be the ones that will live with the consequences of your decision for the rest of days, not the ones urging you to take the shot.”
Message. “The science is settled”
Retort. It means that they don’t want to hear any [more] arguments about the subject matter. They close the debate. They have decided. My way or highway. This is not how the science works. The science is the ongoing debate that takes into account all data, not chooses-and-picks the convenient ones.
Reality. “If someone tries to stifle the debate and ignore the data “in the name of science”, this is as unscientific as it gets.”
Message. “The science has changed.”
Retort. This means, whatever we told you yesterday as the ultimate truth, and suppressed, censored, factchecked, ridiculed, and penalized anyone voicing their disagreements or doubts, is no longer true. “It’s water under the bridge today. Today we tell you the new ultimate truth. Don’t question it as it is SCIENCE. And who are you to go against SCIENCE?” Right after “the science is settled” proclamation? Really?
Reality. If the science has changed, it wasn’t science in the first place. Because the real science knows its limitations and always recognizes them. The truth is born in dispute. So if someone tells you their science (that you couldn’t possibly doubt) has changed, they admit that they have duped you.
Reality. “‘Our science has changed.’ But you guaranteed?! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me more, I’ve deserved it.”
And now, the grand finale. The point/counterpoint digest of (almost) all Mass Formation messages we’ve covered to date:
“Vaccines are safe and effective,” they say. Yet, they now want to boost endlessly going forward, and the excess all-cause mortality is reaching unprecedented highs in many highly vaccinated countries?
“Benefits outweigh the risks,” they say. Yet, how do they know your particular circumstances to make that decision for you?
“Vaccination is the only way we’ll beat Covid,” they say. Yet, there are many effective and proven prophylaxis and treatment options almost 3 years after the emergence of the virus? And if the boosted are now dying disproportionately often, isn’t this message obsolete?
“No one will be safe if not everyone is vaccinated,” they say. Yet, don’t vaccines usually protect the ones receiving them? Why aren’t the vaccinated safe, at the very least? And if they aren’t, what’s the point in taking these shots?
“We must get vaccinated to protect the people who can’t,” they say. Yet, the vaccinated get infected now at a higher rate than unvaccinated, and when they do, they shed the virus for longer. So how does that protect the vulnerable?
“The choice to be unvaccinated is tantamount to putting the health and safety of others willingly at risk,” they say. Yet, no one abolished the rights to bodily autonomy and informed consent? While the vaccinated and especially the boosted are now the real threat to themselves and to the vulnerable?
“I have the right to be safe from being infected by the unvaccinated,” they say. Yet, do they have the right to be safe from being infected by the other vaccinated? And do the unvaccinated have an equal right to be safe from being infected by the vaccinated? While the boosted are now catching the virus at the highest rate?
“It would’ve been so much worse had I not been vaccinated [, boosted, up-to-date], ” they say. Yet, it is the boosted that die at disproportionately high rates lately?
“But COVID is deadly. I know N people who died of it,” they say. Yet, currently it is less deadly than a common flu?
“mRNA vaccines have decades of research behind them, therefore they are safe,” they say. Yet, why the Covid jabs are the first ever mRNA vaccines allowed under emergency use authorization, and why are the manufacturers free from liability, if they are so safe?
“Being fully vaccinated does not work any more. It’s now about being up-to-date on you vaccination,” they say. Yet, they said that you wouldn’t get infected and will not spread the virus if you took the “primary” shots? And aren’t there compounding risks every time you get a shot? So how will continuous boosting help where the shots before it didn’t?
“You are now eligible to receive your next shot, rejoice,” they say. But why should I be rushing to get the next shot that comes with compounded risks every time? Shouldn’t I evaluate the risks and benefits anew?
“Everyone has Covid now because we stopped wearing masks,” they say. Yet, it has been two and a half years of masking while receiving multiple rounds of shots, so why do the vaccinated still succumb to Covid in large numbers in the middle of the summer?
“The science is settled,” they say. Yet, they don’t let you see the basis for their decisions, trying to delay, for 75 years, the trial data based on which they proclaimed themselves the purveyors of the ultimate truth?
“The Science has changed,” they say. Yet, they don’t allow any alternative opinions when they make their claims? And didn’t they say “the science is settled” a moment ago?
Let me know how this can be improved!
P.S. I also recommend this brilliant post that further delves into this subject:

Everyone has Covid now because we stopped wearing masks,” In Asia, they never took them off, same covid resurgence.
Thank you very much for your important work and for linking to my previous essay on our New Normal definitions. In my recent essay, I begin a new project - exposing how awful mainstream "journalists" are. I use archived excerpts from my state's leading sports columnist to make my larger points. This particular columnist actually "spars" with me from time to time via email exchanges. I also used some of his words from these emails to show what a shallow, juvenile hypocrite this "skeptical" journalist is.
