Examine the meaning of a word, in a dictionary
Oct 24^th, 2021 at 11:45pm

Examine the meaning of a word, in a dictionary.

.

From the Oxford Dictionary.....

vaccinate

immunise

immune

------ >

n.b.
EXAMINE THE TRADITIONAL, AND REAL DEFINITION,
OF THE WORD VACCINATE !!!!!

Dictionary;
vaccinate = = treat with a vaccine to produce immunity against a disease.

Dictionary;
immunise = = make immune to infection, typically by inoculation.

Dictionary;
immune = =
1 resistant to a particular infection owing to the presence of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells.
2 not susceptible.

.

ARGUMENT;
We can 're-edit' the meaning of a word, ...a word in a dictionary.

But doing so, will not help us !

Why not so ?

Because words do have meaning [that is their fundamental purpose. specific words convey, specific meanings. fundamental.].

And if you can convince someone, to arbitrarily 're-edit' the meaning of a word [in a dictionary] [to suit your own advantage],
you will only create confusion, in the minds of the people around you.

And i do assure you, that creating confusion, in the minds of the people who surround you,
is not in YOUR OWN interests !!

No matter how much, you believe that it is.

Merriam-Webster gives "vaccine" a new definition

April 30, 2021 @ 9:10 am · Filed by Victor Mair under Etymology, Language and medicine, Lexicon and lexicography

« previous post | next post »

Prefatory note: In this post, I take the noun "vaccine" as the basic word under discussion, but also consider other cognate terms ("vaccinate", "vaccination").

Here's a standard dictionary entry for "vaccine":

n.

1. any preparation of weakened or killed bacteria or viruses introduced into the body to prevent a disease by stimulating antibodies against it.
2. the virus of cowpox, used in vaccination, obtained from pox vesicles of a cow or person.
3. a software program that helps to protect against computer viruses.

[1800–05; < New Latin (variolae)vaccīnae cowpox = vacc(a) cow + -īnae, feminine pl. of -īnus -ine]

Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary

(cited)

Let us compare that with the new M-W entry for "vaccine":

: a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious disease:

a : an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated (see attenuated sense 2) pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products (such as a protein or toxin)

b : a preparation of genetic material (such as a strand of synthesized messenger RNA) that is used by the cells of the body to produce an antigenic substance (such as a fragment of virus spike protein)

No matter how much, you believe that it is.

Two things:

You had no issue with the redefinition of words like "honourable" and "honest" when used to describe Trump.

You've posted about the "War on Christmas" before, but considering War is defined as,

a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country.

Maybe you should stop doing that too?

If your anti-vax/COVID Hoax campaign is now relying on semantic rules you don't even follow, you may have lost.

CDC And WHO Redefine ‘Vaccine' And 'Herd Immunity' To Manipulate People Into Getting The Jabs

By Sarah Mae Saliong
Sep 21, 2021

The CDC and WHO have reportedly redefined three key medical terms pertaining to diseases, thus redefining today's "reality" about COVID.

In her report re-published by The Epoch Times, Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, analyzed how the CDC has meticulously "evolved" the vaccine's definition to compensate for the evident eroding efficacy of some modern "vaccines," notably the COVID-19 vaccine.

"Instead of requiring medicine to meet the definition of 'vaccine,' it appears CDC has changed the definition of "vaccine" to accommodate what the medicine does," she wrote.

"After the COVID-19 vaccines were introduced, and it was discovered they do not necessarily 'prevent disease'.....
or 'provide immunity,'......
CDC altered the definition of vaccines again to say that they merely
'produce protection,'" she noted in another section of her report.

......

The article above is posted on a RELIGIOUS site.

CDC redefines word, 'vaccine'

Why did CDC change definition for 'vaccine'?

CDC changes definition of "vaccines" to fit Covid-19 vaccine limitations

.

Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 59:1
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

Iniquity ?

What is 'iniquity' ?

iniquity = = LAWLESSNESS

Lies and deceit, feed and give power, to the way of LAWLESSNESS [and conflict, and oppression], among men.

.

Iniquity, it is a path in this world, which all men have chosen.

Not so ?

It is good [appropriate], that a lot of men [in this age] are atheists,
and that they have chosen to turn away from 'God and His righteousness' in this age. !

Because both Jesus, and God in His Word, have indicated that indeed, they too hold a similar disposition !

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

LAWLESSNESS.

The children of their own father.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Another, different dictionary word......

equivocation = = use ambiguous or evasive language.

Very concise and correct. It's really a simple scam - 1) Gain control of the government. 2) Borrow money like there's no tomorrow. 3) Funnel all of that money into ventures in which you have an interest. 4) Stick the taxpayers with the debt. 5) Take the money and run.

https://sharylattkisson.com/2021/09/read-cdc-changes-definition-of-vaccines-to-f...

Is the 'COVID' crisis and its response, by BIG PHARMA, all along, just been a really big [corporate] scam ?

Surely U.S. Congressmen and Senators would be much to smart to let such a scam 'fly' [...past them] ?

No ?

The evolution of the definition of vaccination looks to me to be a way of increasing accuracy. The first definition was about a killed or weakened infectious organism. Not all vaccines use those. Some vaccines use just a small part of an infectious organism and the mRNA based vaccines do not use even that much. The second definition says vaccines produce immunity, but that could lead the public to think a vaccine produces perfect immunity against an infectious organism but none ever have. So switching to, "protection," instead of, "immunity," sounds like a way to be more accurate about all vaccines. My question to you is, why would you want to see it any other way?

You seem to provide a very good example of seeing what you wish to see. The difference in the first two definitions isn't about killed or weakened infectious organism, it's about promising to "prevent" a disease (which some vaccines do), then, as some vaccines proved less effective, CDC/vaccine industry lowered the bar to simply say they produce "immunity" (no longer prevention). Then, with immunity not well produced by Covid-19 vaccines, that necessitated another lowering of the bar to simply say you get some sort of "protection." Not immunity or prevention.

Soon the definition will read:

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce an absence of severe illness, while maintaining maximum viral load so that the pathogen can be passed along to others.

There should be NO evolution of the definition of a vaccination, as suggested by the RN, above.
Who thinks of these things? Seriously.
Maybe they should just stop calling the covid shot, a vaccine.
It's misleading!
And you don't change the meaning of a word to fit an agenda.
People better start thinking for themselves.

No. Uber-religiosity is about wanting to believe at all costs.

If you knew anything about the origins of Islam, you'd know that Mohammed himself insisted that he was not forming a new religion. That the revelations received by him from the archangel Gabriel were reminders of the words of the Judaic prophets, not a new covenant.
