Only decades ago, magazines printed ads where physicians touted the benefits of smoking cigarettes. The cigarette testimonials are gone, but medical dumb-assery never went away. Just an observation from somebody who once witnessed medical dumb-assery here and there. But maybe I digress. . .
Vaccines can be wonderful things when you take a few years to see how your target group's auto-immune systems accept them. Unfortunately, despite considerable laboratory experience with the new Covid vaccination delivery system, not a human on Earth can predict whether human immunological abilities may change for the better, worse or remain neutral in the distant future.
That's why we found it so miraculous last week when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) somehow waved a magic wand and proclaimed the standard Covid-19 vaccines safe and appropriate for children. All of a sudden.
How does that happen, exactly? I mean, of course we were hardly surprised to watch the complicit corporate media applaud and gasp in wonder at this "breakthrough" pronouncement. But really, isn't it rather convenient that this marvel of medical science leaps forth via enthusiastic FDA lips just in time for school?
Based upon other miracles performed by Biden government agencies lately -- yes, you bet'cha, Afghanistan -- I'm thinking it's more likely that a gaggle of lab scientists under extreme pressure sat in a room and reached agreement on approving the unknown for the sake of school opening expediency.
The way things work, what with scientists working interchangeably with government and corporations, certain political agendas must be satisfied now and then, and here you go.
Isn't it kind of like that new Alzheimer's drug, the one tested and rejected by several scientists because apparently it did little more then remove a little plaque from brain tissue -- and then was nevertheless stubbornly certified for administration by the U.S. government at a per-patient cost exceeding $50,000 a year while ultimately performing no useful function?
We also continue to shake our head at the uproar over whether cheapity cheap, cheap cheap veterinarian drug ivermectin successfully treats Covid. You can bet your ass that the loudest critics work for corporate pharma and "corporate government" entities. By the way, we still wonder why the government isn't going all out to introduce the Novavax Covid immunizations, looking good, few side-effects and delivering vaccines in a fashion akin to the way we already receive standard immunizations.
Whether big corporate payoff vaccines, or the questionable necessity to wear masks, or the American Medical Association caving in to critical race theory, we have before us one giant dog pile of "expert" advice changing every day, and we aren't really quite sure where to place our trust anymore.
