The idea behind giving the vaccines to children was to prevent the spread of Covid-19: If the idea behind the vaccine was to reduce virulence, and not spread, then there was no case for vaccinating children because the disease was less dangerous to children than a common cold—far less dangerous, in fact. And one does not give an experimental medication to children in order to protect them from such a minor danger.
Of course, we all remember that the news media made lavish claims about how the vaccine would reduce spread. But all of those clips appear to have been memory-holed. Indeed, many clips regarding this very issue can no longer be found on Youtube or other social media sites: We find evidence for this claim not only in our own memories of what Fauci said but in the fact that well known outlets like the daily wire had to source clips of Fauci’s remarks regarding this from their prior broadcasts—the original links were gone. Now even Dr. Fauci admits that the “vaccine does not protect overly well against infection.” When did the story change, and what forces coordinated to hide the truth? Yet many people are either unaware of this strange phenomenon or are intentionally ignoring just how odd it is. Why are people in denial about just how odd a situation this is?
Here is my question: Was the vaccine, at one point, good at preventing transmission, but it stopped working because we over vaccinated? Basically, did we create vaccine resistance or were the results of the early vaccine trials false? People refused to believe this idea, that vaccine overuse could produce vaccine resistant viruses, to the point I even got some strange rebuttals from some pretty smart friends of mine, but isn't it possible once a virus has a hold in a population, that excessive vaccination could produce a selection pressure in favor of vaccine resistance just as overuse of antibiotics produces superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics?
(Indeed, when I made this analogy, I had a friend respond with "But superbugs are the result of people not taking their full course of antibiotics, not overuse of antibiotics." Of course, superbugs are the result of both over-prescription and people’s failure to take their full course of antibiotics. When you have a complex phenomenon it is very common for there to be more than one factor responsible for it, but people are happy to cite the existence of one contributing factor to claim that others are not at play. I feel this fallacy deserves a name; perhaps the "fallacy of a single cause.")
Anyway, the memory holing of the entire history of the Covid-19 pandemic---from the early videos showing Chinese health workers treating outdoor areas with gaseous compounds and showing video of people collapsing in the street---is quite disturbing. History should not be erased.
More importantly, and this will be the subject of a much longer follow up post, how was this memory holing achieved—and what psychological forces make it possible for people to forget what they so recently experienced? The propagandists who created those videos of people falling in the street must have known they were putting people on—were those people actors, was that footage cherrypicked, or were those videos of people who had other medical issues altogether?
This new censorship power is something that needs to be fully understood. Centralized or decentralized, these people are very powerful and very brazen.
