There’s a hilarious scene in Cheers (S03E19) where Cliff and Norm have just come back from Norm’s favorite restaurant, “The Hungry Heifer”. Instead of me trying to describe it, just watch the clip and then we’ll continue.
The boys weren’t eating beef or lobster. They were eating beff and loobster. Beff and loobster aren’t meat, they’re meat-like substances. And, because of truth-in-advertising laws, the restaurant wasn’t able to say they were serving diners something it wasn’t.
We see this all the time. A Cheez-It isn’t really cheese, nor is Cheez Whiz or Cheez Doodles. They might be cheese-like substances, but they’re not real cheese.
There are laws against claiming that something is what it isn’t. Those laws provide the “beware” part of “let the buyer beware” and protect consumers from making decisions and drawing conclusions they otherwise might not.
If the truth-in-advertising laws were applied to the COVID “vaccines” people would be told they’re being injected with an experimental “vackseen” instead of a for-real vaccine. And there’s a huge difference between the two.
A vaccine confers immunity. That’s a two-dollar sentence for “if you get vaccinated, you won’t get sick”.
There are plenty of examples of true vaccines. Smallpox, polio, measles, tetanus. The vaccines you take to prevent those diseases really are vaccines. Because, if you get vaccinated against smallpox, polio, measles or tetanus, you’re not going to catch smallpox, polio, measles or tetanus.
But a “vackseen”? Ah, that’s a different story entirely. A vackseen isn’t a vaccine. It’s a vaccine-like substance.
A vackseen doesn’t make you immune. If you’re vackseenated you can still get sick. Maybe not as sick, but you can still get sick. And, if you’re sick, you’re quite likely contagious. Meaning you can make others sick.
With a vaccine, there’s no problem letting unvaccinated people mingle with those who have been vaccinated. That’s what “herd immunity” actually is.
But with a vackseen? Not so much. There are already plans being made to segregate the unvackseenated from the vackseenated. If the vackseen was truly a vaccine, then there would be no need to require social distancing from anyone. Nor would there be a need for any vackseenated person to wear a mask. Because, if you’re vaccinated, you won’t get sick, and you won’t make anyone else sick. Because that’s what vaccines do. But if you’re vackseenated? Not so much.
So, we know that a vackseen isn’t really a vaccine because vackseens don’t do what vaccines do. A vackseen doesn’t make you immune from anything.
Since a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, doesn’t it also mean that a vaccine by another name would be as effective?
Nope.
They call vackseens vaccines because nobody who has been provided with the “beware” part of “let the buyer beware” would be willing to allow themselves to be injected with something that claims to be something that it isn’t. And, since the truth-in-advertising laws don’t apply, they’re able to tell people they’re giving them something they aren’t.
If Cliff knew they were serving “beff” instead of beef, he might not have had pulled up a chair at The Hungry Heifer. Similarly, if people knew they were being injected with a “vackseen” instead of an honest-to-goodness vaccine, they might not be so eager to roll up their sleeve.
