As Democrats have repeatedly said, ‘words matter,’ but the problem is they distort them to fit their narrative.
They are the modern-day Sophists who, like Orwellian Doublespeak and Hegelian dialectic, use fallacious arguments to rally and deceive the public. Democrats create fictitious realities with education, borders, infrastructure, the economy, and vaccines.
Sophists, like Democrats, came to be known for their adroit, subtle, and often specious reasoning.
DEFINING VACCINES TO FIT THE LATEST SPIEL
The CDC partisans have an ever-changing definition of ‘vaccines’ which fits the definition of Sophistry in its worst form.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) changed the definition of “vaccine” in September 2021 to no longer include the shot granting actual immunity from the targeted virus. A recent FOIA request is helping give the American people more insight as to why the CDC decided to massively redefine the word.
The leftist CDC claims they made the change because of “Right-wing COVID-19 pandemic deniers.”
On August 26, 2021, the definition was:
Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.
After September 1, 2021, it changed to:
Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.
United States Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) pointed it out as Orwellian language:
“Check out @CDCgov’s evolving definition of ‘vaccination.’ They’ve been busy at the Ministry of Truth,” Massie posted on Twitter.
THE REVEALING DOCUMENTS
Technofog, who is now on substack, has published documents – emails – that point to the real reason the change was made and the political motivations seem clear, but that’s for you to decide.
In one August 2021 e-mail, a CDC employee cited complaints that “Right-wing covid-19 deniers are using your ‘vaccine’ definition to argue that mRNA vaccines are not vaccines…”
[Well, it was their definition, and mRNA didn’t fit the definition.]
After taking some suggestions, the CDC’s Lead Health Communication Specialist went up the food chain to propose changes to the definitions: “I need to update this page Immunization Basics | CDC since these definitions are outdated and being used by some to say COVID-19 vaccines are not vaccines per CDC’s own definition.”
[Actually, that was true, it didn’t fit, and they knew it, or they wouldn’t have had to change the definition.]
Getting no response, there was a follow-up e-mail a week later: “The definition of vaccine we have posted is problematic and people are using it to claim the COVID-19 vaccine is not a vaccine based on our own definition.”
The change of the “vaccination” definition was eventually approved on August 31. They approved the change on September 1 to the “vaccine” definition. They went from discussing immunity to protection.
[In other words, they tell the truth. They merely changed the definition.]
Technofog added: There you have it. Affirmative action for multinational corporations. Why have them improve their vaccines when you can just change the definition of vaccine to fit their ineffective vaccines? Congrats to all the skeptics out there – you raised enough hell that the CDC went and tried to change reality.
As we said, it’s Sophistry.

So now Doxycycline which is taken daily to “help” prevent Malaria is now a “Vaccine”. I don’t think so! Words have meaning, but the Godless Communist Democrat Liberal Losers see everything as “flexible”. Godless Communist Democrat Liberal Losers have no common sense, no morals, no integrity, and refuse to take responsibility for anything. They remind me of my mother’s cat, but I think her cat is smarter than the average Liberal. Cats are smart enough not to bite the hand that feeds it.
A vaccine is something you take once to eliminate the possibility of getting sick to near 100% with little or no side effects. A bullet to the head will keep me from getting Covid, but the side effects are severe. How many medications now list Death as a possible side effect? I’m serious, should any medication be on the market if Death is a possible side effect. Those medications should be limited to use only under the Right to Try Law. But actually all medications should be legal for adults to try and Government should not be allowed to force anyone to take a medication without a specific due process for each individual in compliance with the Constitution. Public Good should never be at the expense of the individual. The Constitution prohibits “Group Punishment” (Due Process) as does the Geneva Convention. The present Covid “shots” don’t stop you from getting Covid and some evidence indicates that it may damage your immune system in some cases. These are not only not vaccines, but may be a toxic substance. The Government should never be allowed to mandate that you take any potentially toxic substance. What if the Government mandated that everyone had to get a shot of penicillin every few months for the Public Good. Because some people are allergic to penicillin, we would end up with a lot of dead people. Sounds absurd! How is a new and experiential medication, rushed to the market place, any different?
Why does the CDC, FDA, and the Government in general ignore Natural Immunity and discourage the use of known effective Therapeutics with decades of safety in their use? Well, for the Government it’s about Power and Control. For the CDC and FDA, it’s all about the money. Almost everyone in the CDC and FDA have financial interest in Big Pharma and their new high priced patented medications. Big Government is BAD. We need to reduce the size of the Federal Government to 4% or 5% of the GDP, and totally strip the Executive Branch of ALL Mandate Powers. In America, only elected members of a Legislative body should have the power to make law and must not be able to delegate that power. Also, the Congress should define the definitions used in law and be very distinct in the definition.
The Courts must only use the Definitions clearly understood at the time the law was enacted. Since the “Covid Shots” do not remotely resemble a Vaccine at the time Jacobson v. Massachusetts was decided, that case should not be considered precedent in any court decision. I’m sick and tired of courts redefining language to redefine law. Maybe you should also be required to have a Masters Degree in English History to be a Judge? How can a Judge apply the law if they don’t understand the meaning of the language in use at the time the law was enacted? When I took Latin in High School, I was told the main reason Latin was used by the Catholic Church was because it was a “dead” language and not subject to modern reinterpretation. I don’t think we should use Latin to write our laws, but Courts should use The Oxford English Dictionary in print at the time of the law’s original drafting in the interpretation of Law. Law should not be flexible, it should be a Firewall or the Law becomes a tool of abuse. If a Law is a Bad Law, then the quickest way to have a Law corrected or repealed is to apply it as written. Also, a Law which has not been used for say 20 years should be automatically sunshine. Legislatures need to review and update laws. It should be the same with court rulings and precedence. Relying on a court ruling that should have been taken up by the legislative process is dangerous. Roe v. Wade is a perfect example. The Congress should be forced to weigh in on this ruling. As it is today it’s Law from the Bench and not Congress.
A note about Jacobson v. Massachusetts. The Supreme Court only said a law by the State Legislature was valid in their decision. The Law also provided for a fine of $5 (about $160 today) if you refused to get vaccinated. Today, we have cities firing people, without the individual due process required by the Constitution, and without a law by the State Legislature. Mandates of this kind are gross overreach and depriving an individual of a livelihood is clearly excessive cruel and unusual punishment. The Massachusetts Legislature provided for a fine because the Legislature knew a mandatory vaccine law was Un-Constitutional. Smallpox is far more deadly than Covid. During the 1980’s and 1990’s the courts substantially strengthened the Individual’s rights during the AIDS Outbreak and back then AIDS was deadly. None of these cases made it to the Supreme Court as it would have been a Fool’s errand. I’m truly surprised at how few people are suing Employers, Cities, and States over Covid Mandates. I suspect this will drastically change after the 2022 Elections, especially once the Issues with Covid “shots” become well known. Big Pharma will not be able to hide behind the CDC and find itself in the position of Big Tobacco. I suspect a lot of major corporations will be sued into bankruptcy over just minor reactions to the vaccine. If the vaccines are found to reduce immune system capability, the sky will be the limit.
It must be legally motivated. Very highly paid lawyers were involved in rewriting a sentence to protect government and pharma officials.
But, but, muh science, muh health, and muh doctor loves me!
Our government is honest and we are all comrades of the glorious unity collective in this together. (LMFAO!)
