The Miracle at the Rio Grande

Last week, the CDC changed its opinion on masks for vacksinated people.  Well, technically, they changed their “recommendations”.  The CDC doesn’t make the rules, they only make “recommendations”. 

If governments want to heed their recommendations, they’re cool with that.  They’re also equally as cool if governments don’t heed their recommendations.  They don’t care either way.  One would think that they wouldn’t be taking such a laissez-faire attitude about a disease as dangerous as COVID-19 is claimed to be.

They now recommend that fully-vacksinated people can do a bunch of stuff that they used to do before the CDC recommended that they don’t.  Companies like Walmart and Trader Joes are now changing their policies to align with these new recommendations.

What’s interesting is that I haven’t seen any mention of a recommendation on mask wearing for people who have what’s referred to as “natural immunity”.  Natural immunity is the immunity your body creates for itself (maybe a better term is “yourself”) by being exposed to a virus.  It’s the not-laboratory-created version of what the vackseens are supposed to do.

If we assume that the contagiousness of the disease is as claimed, then tens of millions of people just in the U.S. alone have had the disease.  Hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people worldwide also fall into that category.  The overwhelming majority of them got well on their own and didn’t make the news.  That means there are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people worldwide who now possess a natural immunity to COVID-19.

But, let’s stick to talking about the U.S. because I’m not affected by any silly-ass rules mandated in other countries.  I’m only affected by the silly-ass rules mandated in this country.

Here’s an interesting thing from the CDC web site: “Before you arrive in the United States:  All air passengers coming to the United States, including U.S. citizens and fully vaccinated people, are required to have a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 3 days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past 3 months before they board a flight to the United States.” 

[Full disclosure, I added the text highlight for the word “or” because I thought it was important.  The other bolded text came right from the CDC web page, so they must think that’s important.]

Let’s take another look at that.  According to the CDC, fully-vaccinated people must show a negative test result before entering the United States.  But, someone who has already recovered from COVID-19 does not.  That implies that natural immunity is better than vackseen immunity.

Another interesting thing is that they specifically mention air travel.  If someone flies from Mexico City to Los Angeles they’re required to show proof that they’re not dangerous.  But someone driving, or walking, or riding a horse or bike across the border doesn’t have the same restriction.

Then there’s the illegal aliens that nobody is trying to stop from coming here.  I guess wading through the Rio Grande acts like the U.S./Mexico version of Lourdes.  That’s the only thing that can explain the miraculous disease-free nature of the illegal aliens pouring into the U.S. from Mexico.

I’ve packed a lot into today’s article so allow me to summarize:

  1. According to information provided by the CDC, we can infer that natural immunity is better/stronger than vackseen immunity.
  2. Tens of millions of people in the United States don’t need the vackseen because they already have a natural immunity.
  3. Since natural immunity will let you get on an airplane heading for the United States, it should also get you into Walmart without a mask.
  4. Unless people getting their backs wet walking across the Rio Grande (see what I did there?) are miraculously given immunity to COVID-19, we should treat the people entering our country by breaching our borders the same way we treat people who fly here.

There’s no proof that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective other than that the government, and the companies who profit from making the vackseens, says they’re safe and effective.  Essentially, to be able to go to Walmart or Trader Joes unmasked, you need to have faith in the government and faith in Big Pharma. 

But maybe there’s a better way to rid the world of the scourge of COVID-19. Maybe all it will take is a little faith in what appears to be the magical healing powers of the Rio Grande.
