Title: Is anyone else sickof the phrase "herd immunity"?
Post by: Little Joe on September 13, 2021, 06:11:09 PM
 herd hûrd►

    n.
    A group of cattle or other domestic animals of a single kind kept together for a specific purpose.
    n.
    A number of wild animals of one species that remain together as a group.

Why are we being treated like a herd?  What kind of domestic or wild animal are we?  Sheep?  Cattle?  And for what single purpose are they keeping us together?

No, I really never hear it anymore.  Where do you hear it?

They’re not saying it now, they’re just doing it.

the prhase "herd immunity" doesn't bother me.

but other phrases do... I'm beyond tired of "new normal" and, of course, all the chicken little crap about "high contagioius", "extremely deadly", etc etc etc

I cant find the link, but seconds before I posted I was watching a clip of Biden using the phrase.  Perhaps I am more sensitive to it because I used to own a veterinary hospital and it was commonly used regarding animals, but rarely regarding humans until recently.

It didn’t bother me back when it was a legitimately understood concept (ie: immunity from getting the disease plus those vaccinated) but it bothers the hell out of me now that they are lying and saying it is only the vaccinated.

I don’t know what you mean by “recently”.  I’m so old now, to me 9/11/01 was recent. I’ve been hearing it for a few years, couldn’t tell you exactly how many, they’re all screaming by at the speed of light at this point.

I find that hard to believe. It’s been trotted out (hey, an animal pun! Hahaha) every day since this thing began, and touted as the supreme goal we need to reach before we are “over” Covid. But as with everything else, the goalposts keep changing so the drivers can jerk the reins (a horse pun! Hahahaha!) they want to keep on us.

The newest phrase is “hybrid immunity.” Naturally, that’s what you get if you’ve had Covid AND get the jab. A new goal!!!

The real goal is to overwhelm us with the impossibility of ever achieving immunity of any lasting kind, apart from jabs ad infinitum at ever more frequent intervals. And to destroy the rogue idea that we have freedoms and a Constitution.

So the unvaccinated are actively working on getting the vaccinated to hybrid immunity.  Yay them!!  Throw off those masks!  Hug a stranger!  Catch the COVID!  That's the only way to hybrid immunity.  I wonder how long those in power can keep us dancing?

Ah, well, there's your problem.

Biden thinks we are all animals, or at least lower forms of life.

Well, if you're hanging on every word from the mass media, then you might be hearing it.  I quit listening to them.  I manually read some news sources to stay informed, but it's a pull mechanism, not a push.  My stress level from the media is way, way down.

Still hard to believe?

That's really funny!  Accusing Becky of "hanging on every word from the mass media!  Ha Ha.  Becky?

Of course, when I say something that doesn't follow the party line, she and others accuse me of the same thing.

On the other hand, how can you claim they never say it any more if you never listen to them?  How do you know if you don't listen to them?

I didn't say they never say it.  I said I never hear it.
