<div dir="ltr"><div>Spike, they didn't actually think that, which is why this has been so terrible to watch unfold. Natural immunity was an accepted, well known phenomenon going into the pandemic. My best guess is that they didn't want to have to deal with complicating public policy by acknowledging that if you already had Covid, there was no need for you to get vaccinated. It would have made implementing their tyrannical mandates much more difficult. The more cynical part of me also believes selling as many jabs as possible played a role as well.</div><div><br></div><div>It's similar to the lie we've been sold that the accepted definition of a vaccine wasn't one that stopped (or at least sharply curtailed) transmission.</div><div><br></div><div>The amount of damage done to formerly prestigious public health organizations like the CDC is incalculable. People now distrust vaccines themselves due to this fiasco, not just the shoddy ones related to Covid.</div><div><br></div><div>Throughout, the 4th estate was missing in action, and just another mouthpiece for the powers that be. A healthy press could have and should have played an important role in pushing back against the insanity of the last few years.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 18, 2023 at 12:36 PM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-1191668909104215392"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_-1191668909104215392WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>…</b>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dylan Distasio via extropy-chat<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [ExI] lancet publishes information<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">>… Everything I heard during Covid ran counter to what I learned in an undergrad pre-med Immunology course.
