CDC Edits "Vaccine" Definition
(Another "Leviathans" Update)
I have edited the “It’s [Still] Not a Vaccine” section of “Lurking Leviathans,” to reflect that the CDC went on to edit their online definition of “vaccine” on September 1 (five days after the segment was added and announced in the previous “update” dispatch).1 I only noticed today, after encountering a comment regarding the edit to the Merriam Webster definition. So… Welcome to Oceana...
The updated version is cross-posted below:
(August 27, 2021) It’s [Still] Not a Vaccine!
Besides bewildering, acrobatic legalese on the part of the FDA, another key flaw in any employer-mandated vaccination requirement is that the Covid “vaccines” do not meet the lay definition of vaccine - and in fact, do not meet the CDC’s own definition, either:2
Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.
Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.
Since the condition induced by these experimental medical interventions does not meet the CDC definition of immunity - if you are exposed to SARS-CoV-2, you are still just as likely to be infected - these interventions, including the Pfizer one by whichever name, do not meet the “official” definition of “vaccine.”
The CDC definition, last updated in 2018, once again accords with the far more relevant (from a perspective of political legitimacy) lay definition - or, at least, it used to, before the last two decades of deliberate media propaganda waging war on the traditional consensus in the service of promoting nonfunctional flu shots.
This may be a small comfort to individuals in danger of employer termination, who will surely be ignored by their high-on-groupthink, law-breaking Nazi managers no matter how much they point out the truth. And there is no doubt that large corporations taken to court over their illegal, abusive, ethically repugnant, and Nuremberg Code-violating mandates will find little difficulty in flooding the stand with fraudulent, four-decade-experienced super-expert witnesses with cute Irish accents to spout patent medical nonsense equivocating over the obvious; but they won’t be able to change what the CDC page said at the time of their mandates.
And as discredited and fraudulent as the CDC itself is, it cannot be exceeded as an arbiter of legal definition from the standpoint of a judge.
There are no Covid vaccines. Employers cannot mandate what does not exist.
So hurry and save your screen-shots, before one of our esteemed Disease Controllers becomes aware of their oversight.
Update - September 6, 2021:
The CDC definition of “vaccine” was altered on September 1, 2021. It no longer includes a reference to “producing immunity.”
By the new definition, which does not assert that vaccines induce “immunity,” there is no coherent reason why vaccines should even be mentioned in the CDC’s discussion of the basics of “immunization” at all.
After posting, I realized that the “It’s [Still] Not a Vaccine” segment was added to “Lurking Leviathans” on the 26th, not the 27th. Subscribers who received the update dispatch on the 26th have apologies for any confusion and distress resulting from the erroneous date used in this post.
I was thinking “so vitamin D and zinc are “vaccines” now with this new definition?” but the CDC was very careful about the words they chose with this new definition. Notice “disease”. Influenza is defined as an illness. Covid-19 as a disease. Therefore they will argue that they are not “vaccine” even though they “boost the immune system”.
I love your articles. Your writing is always clear, concise and without errors. Well, almost. I do believe you mean "legalese" and not "legalize" in this piece. Long live Oceana! (Thank you for keeping your fingers to the keyboard.)
