Oh, heck, even Mr. Fauci-Vax's are 95% is starting to hedge ... saying:

"They are seeing a waning of immunity not only against infection but against hospitalization and to some extent death, which is starting to now involve all age groups. It isn’t just the elderly…

It’s waning to the point that you’re seeing more and more people getting breakthrough infections, and more and more of those people who are getting breakthrough infections are winding up in the hospital."

I just don't know whom to trust anymore ...

Certainly you aren't still under the impression that the narrative is designed to be logically consistent or, even, that it attempts to endure logical scrutiny of any sort.

Not at all! Just trying to raise the level of Cognitive Dissonance in this country.

I was being tongue in cheek, of course. And, yes, cognitive dissonance really defines the age in which we live.

It isn't that our adversaries are incapable of crafting consistent narratives. It's that they have spent generations pursuing different goals and poisoning Western culture in thematically different ways to support them; to such a degree that the world view of the common man now relies on layers of carefully assembled fallacies and denials of reality.

As an outsider to the madness, you almost have to laugh. The propagandists can't rely on their audience to see things for what they are since their vision is clouded with so many contextual falsehoods. So they don't even try any more.

Yes, Winston in 1984 only had to hold and believe in two opposites at a time. More like Alice in Wonderland where the Queen could easily believe in 5 impossible things before breakfast. Or like walking around in a Kafka novel.

Ha, yep. Very appropriate analogies. Sort of like a blend between 1984 and The Giver, only more dystopian in some senses; featuring cyberpunk police officers with robots and flying drones, engineered bioweapons, compulsory face masks, food sold in theft-resistant security devices and child drag queens.
