This piece of faux journalistic garbage is equal parts amusing and infuriating:
link to propaganda
90% "nonserious" means 10% serious. If all 300+ million people in the US are to receive the savior vaccine, that means 30 million people will have serious side effects. If that's not a classic example of the cure being worse than the disease then I don't know what is. But readers will just say "well golly only 10%, that's really low! I like my odds. Praise the vaccine!"
But the truly enlightening part of this tripe appears a bit later on. The controllers of the narrative plainly state that the foundation on which said narrative has been built is faulty, but they (correctly) expect the terrified readers to be so bamboozled by reassurances regarding the salvation of the vaccine that they'll fail to notice what's been put in plain sight:
Think about this carefully. When it comes to the vaccine, dead grandma at the nursing home shouldn't be "alarming" because she was really old and was getting ready to die anyway. Her death is "unrelated." But when it comes to the killer virus, not only is the virus "related," but it's the only cause of her untimely demise. Furthermore, grandma's death is not just a tragedy but cause for a global emergency and various violations of your fundamental freedoms. You see, it turns out that very old people in nursing homes tend to....die.
But this is the problem. Any ability that the masses may have had to weigh arguments and apply logic has been completely obliterated by the prolonged hysteria. Millions of people will read this nonsense and say "hmm, yes, vaccine very good. Must get. Vaccine save life." How many will stop to ask themselves "well gee if old people dying is something that just happens a lot then is it possible that we totally over-reacted to this whole virus thing?" At this point the propaganda machine could easily convince the gullible hordes that 5 is 4 as long as it means the vaccine has come to deliver us back to our lives of cramming into the stadium to watch felons smash into each other in pursuit of a ball.
I can take some satisfaction in that what we've been saying all along has been officially verified, but the fact that the admission just dissipates into the ether makes the whole situation seem hopeless.
