“New Normal Newspeak” is a series of short articles highlighting how our language has come under assault in the past eighteen months.

“Vaccine” is a word a with a simple significance. I’ll quote it to you, from the Oxford dictionary:
A substance used to promote the production of antibodies and supply resistance against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative representative of an illness, its products, or an artificial alternative, treated to function as an antigen without inducing the disease.
And here, from the CDC’s website:
Vaccine: An item that stimulates an individual’s immune system to produce resistance to a specific illness, protecting the person from that disease.
Encyclopedia Brittanica says basically the exact same. As does dictionary.com. Cambridge University. Merriam Webster.
You get the point.
A “vaccine” is substance that, when presented into a body, “provides resistance” to a particular disease. This person, now immune, is therefore incapable of passing that illness on to others. This is the entire point of vaccination.
However you don’t require me to tell you that, every other word on the news these days is “vaccine”.
The “vaccine” for Covid19– whether from Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson– is being pushed all over you look. These business have made billions in the last year offering numerous countless dosages of their “vaccines”.
But offered the above meanings, do the Covid19 jabs qualify? Or is “vaccine” another word whose significance is being altered before our eyes?
As of today, it is readily confessed that Covid “vaccines” do not provide resistance from infection and do not prevent you from passing the illness onto others. Indeed, an article in the British Medical Journal highlighted that the vaccine studies were not created to even try and examine if the “vaccines” minimal transmission.
The media, and federal government declarations, have plenty of statements to the contrary, however they are heavy with “likely”, “likely” and “could”.
The vaccine manufacturers themselves, upon launching the untried mRNA gene therapies, were rather clear their item’s “efficacy” was based upon “decreasing the severity of signs”.
Based upon that, and the English language, it could be argued that what we’re all being encouraged to take is NOT actually a “vaccine” in the true sense of the word.
So maybe we must stop calling it that.
