I love this post, especially the paintings chosen to accompany it. You raise a lot of good questions, as well as pointing out some key inconsistencies in Bourla's own words.
For me, fifteen months after the first shots were deployed in the US, the question comes to mind, Were *any* lives saved? Or were some deaths merely delayed?
If a person has been infected with syphilis, and is still in the treatable phase, and receives antibiotics, he may go on to live for many additional decades. Instead of dying from syphilis, he will die from something else. Nobody lives forever, but penicillin arguably saved this person's life.
On the other hand, if a person has cancer and is given a treatment that extends his life six months beyond what it would likely have been if he had remained untreated, we don't generally say that his treatment was life-saving. He got the treatment, but he died anyway, of the disease he had.
With original antigenic sin looking like a real phenomenon, and with Pfizer and Moderna both arguing that a fourth dose is "needed," these mRNA injections look a lot more like "might help you dodge a bullet if you're exposed to the right strain of coronavirus during the first few months after your second or third injection" and a lot less like "will save your life so that you live for years, and die of something other than coronavirus."
Thank you for your compliment. We are all the same, as human beings, but are also all different, as human beings. So you need to live your life to your best conscience, and I to mine. Together we each carry our individual crosses. My grandfather told me one thing: you cannot harbor a heart to hurt others, but you also cannot have a heart to defend yourself. Between a heart to attack and a heart to defend, is your heart, my heart, to pump so long we are still alive. All will be good and all is good! Take care and best wishes. https://patedigital.substack.com/p/the-coming-together-of-a-cult?r=eth9w&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
