The world appears to be living out of the book, “1984,” as modern-age Thought Police and Ministry of Truth overseers make ongoing changes to the meanings of words having to do with either COVID or vaccines.
A few weeks ago it was the definition of vaccine that changed, when Merriam-Webster in lockstep with the CDC’s updating of its “vaccines” pages altered the meaning to include messenger RNA (mRNA) or a fragment of a virus spike protein.
The thing is, while the CDC and Merriam-Webster are calling them vaccines, mRNA treatments are actually considered a gene therapy by the FDA — one that’s still unapproved.
But, that aside, did you know that anyone who opposes mandatory vaccines is an “anti-vaxxer”? No matter if you are fully vaccinated and have chosen to stop — perhaps because you or someone you know has been vaccine-injured — and no matter if you’re completely in support of vaccines, but simply believe taking them should be a your body-your choice option, you are still considered an “anti-vaxxer”, according to Merriam-Webster.
