READY, FIRE, AIM: Vaccines, Making Us Crazy

Yes, I’ve been vaccinated.  Mostly, as a child.

Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, smallpox.

Luckily, none of those vaccines caused me to become autistic.

At least, I don’t think they did.

My mom always told me I had an ‘overactive imagination’ but she never told me I was autistic. So I’m going with the ‘lack of evidence’ as the best evidence. If the vaccines caused my overactive imagination… well, that’s water under the bridge at this point.

But I didn’t take the COVID vaccine. You have to draw the line somewhere, and I figured an untested vaccine, based on a completely new ‘MRNA’ technology, was as good a place as any to draw the line. My Presidents — first, Donald Trump and then, Joe Biden — both told me to get vaccinated, but can you believe anything those guys say?  When your President tells you to do something, the best strategy is to do the exact opposite.

Tony Fauci, the White House’s chief medical adviser under Trump and Biden, also told me to get the vaccine. According to Newsweek, Fauci and his wife saw their net worth increase by $5 million from before the start of the COVID crisis through 2021, according to financial disclosures from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). That’s like, within the space of two years?

When the White House’s chief medical adviser is making millions during a health crisis, and he tells you to submit to a new, untested vaccine, the best strategy is to do the exact opposite.

I can’t say for certain, but I bet the new head of US Health and Human Services — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — also avoided the COVID vaccine. He generally has nothing good to say about vaccines. To put it lightly.

Recently, Secretary Kennedy claimed that he had only three vaccinations as a child, and still managed to grow up to head one of the most controversial government departments in America. Of course, they only had three vaccines when he was a kid. The pharmaceutical industry was just getting their feet wet. It wasn’t, like, Secretary Kennedy’s mom told him to stop after three vaccinations. “Bobby, we’ve let you get three vaccinations and we think that’s enough for a growing boy.”

Secretary Kennedy also claimed (in the same sentence) that kids nowadays have to get “60 to 92 vaccinations” and he wants to cite those vaccines as one possible cause for America’s current epidemic of chronic childhood diseases — diabetes, arthritis, autism, asthma, depression, obesity, ADHD, etc.  According to UCLA Health, about 30% of American children are suffering from one or more of these chronic conditions.  That’s a lot of suffering.  22 million kids?

The problem isn’t just vaccines, however. Kids aren’t eating their vegetables.

If we want to Make America Healthy Again, kids will have to eat more broccoli and cauliflower.

And apples.  Reportedly, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

This image is AI-generated and does not depict any real-life event or location.

As indicated by the caption, the imaginary gathering of health professionals shown in the illustration above — old men who may or may not be doctors, but who are at least wearing white lab coats — was generated by an AI platform.

In real life, you would never see a group of health professionals sitting around a table full of fruits and vegetables, let alone eating any of the fruits and vegetables. More likely, it would be a pile of doughnuts.

The people in the background are obviously applauding. Are they applauding the fruits and vegetables? I hope so. But as noted, I grew up with an overactive imagination.

The AI platform that created the illustration put a building in the background that looks suspiciously like the White House, while also claiming that the image “does not depict any real-life event or location”. This is what they mean when they say, “AI is hallucinating.”

I would be willing to bet the people at the table, and the people applauding behind them, received — on average — fewer than 6 vaccines, growing up.

And since they are within sight of the White House, they probably didn’t get the COVID shot either. Or if they did, they won’t admit it.

No one has suggested that the COVID vaccine made people crazy, and caused them to elect Donald Trump. That’s because, of course, Trump was already President when COVID arrived. But the vaccine might have caused people to elect Joe Biden. That’s certainly a possibility.

How else would we explain it?
