CDC Director Walensky Says The CDC Is Changing From “Fully Vaxxed” To “Up To Date,” Meaning You’ll Have To Get Boosted To Remain “Fully Vaxxed”!

So, in order to avoid saying you need a booster to be fully vaxxed, the CDC is choosing to do an Orwellian language swap.

They are no longer using the term “fully vaccinated” because the definition could differ depending on how many jabs you’ve gotten and your eligibility. So now the term is “up to date.”

This means, if you have just gotten your second shot, you are up to date. That is until you are eligible for a booster. Then you are no longer up to date. In that case you must get a third shot to be fully vaccinated. And if you are eligible for a second booster, you HAVE TO GET IT, or else you aren’t uP tO dAtE.

And so on, and so forth, ad infinitum.

If the term is giving you trouble, just change the definition.

I’m sure the dictionaries and Google searches won’t be far behind on this language shift.

A poem my dear departed mother wrote when retire in the Keys years ago:

"In" and "Out"

You must be "In" before you're "out"
That's what NOW it all about
But when and where does "out" begin
When does a cat cease to be an "in"
And when and where and how
Did yesterday give way to NOW?

No answer ... but that seems the way
"Out" tomorrow tho' "in" today
Ah well, I'll just accept my lot
And be a square, a cultural blot

I am tired of the misuse of words. A great catch by an outfielder to win the game is not awesome.
The Grand Canyon, especially seeing it for the first time, is tear bringing awesome.

Great compilation of American Newspeak.
