Media outlets are scrambling to reassure people who received the COVID-19 shot that there is no shame in testing positive for the virus after corporate media overlords guilted red states, Republicans, and the COVID-positive unvaccinated for months.
The Washington Post published an article on Thursday urging “self-compassion” for the vaccinated who are caught off guard by contracting COVID-19. Using anecdotes from people who “diligently” and “desperately” went the extra mile to keep away from the virus, the article laments how individuals who got the jab numerous times, masked up, and even stayed home feel like a failure because they fell ill.
“Thousands who ‘followed the rules’ are about to get covid. They shouldn’t be ashamed,” the headline states.
The author of the WaPo piece acknowledges, much like recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, that “breakthrough cases are becoming more normal and less of an exception” but says that the shame that was once imposed on Americans, especially in certain states, shouldn’t be happening now that vaccinated people are feeling bad about themselves.
The Huffington Post ran a similar article this week claiming that “Getting COVID Isn’t A Shameful Moral Failure.”
“If you contract COVID-19 this winter, it by no means indicates that you made a mistake, behaved selfishly or weren’t ‘good enough’ at preventing its spread,” the article’s author writes in an attempt to tamp down the embarrassment of some.
The same corporate media outlets that trashed red governors such as Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas for scaling back COVID-19 restrictions are now urging vaccinated people not to have shame for getting a virus that can’t be controlled or assigned moral value.
During the height of the pandemic, corporate media banded together to criticize and shame southern states for relaxing COVID-19 restrictions and Republicans for promoting a freedom-of-choice culture that contradicts the left’s pro-vaccine-mandate stance. They gladly overlooked the rising number of COVID cases and deaths in Democrat-run states to promote an agenda that slandered members of the GOP as “superspreaders” responsible for killing grandmas. These same media giants also amplified disgust of people who opposed getting vaccinated on any religious, moral, or personal freedom grounds, a narrative that the White House gladly latched onto in its recent COVID messaging, A.K.A. fear porn.
Unfortunately, there have been no apologies and there will most likely be no apologies moving forward. As the left-wing activist and Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt illustrated in an abrasive and fearmongering tweet threat on Wednesday, the fight to blame unvaccinated people for all of the nation’s COVID woes is still ongoing.
The corporate media’s attempt to soothe the fears and embarrassment of the psychotic COVID panic crowd might seem like a nice gesture that signals the media is finally coming to terms with reality outside of the Twitter bubble, but it’s not. The gentle campaign against COVID guilt won’t stick around forever, just long enough to calm the anxiety of the people who keep practicing the COVID-19 panic religion.
The lockdowns, the dispruptions, the masks...all unneccesary.
What a tragic farce the last two years have been.
So there must be shame in NOT getting Covis and especially NOT getting the COVID shot.

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.
This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is
a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
These idiots are beginning to lose the narrative! Sadly, FR has our own resident physicians who are helping to carry the Left’s water on this bogus scamdemic!
Full blown irony....
So the backpedaling begins. Don’t expect an apology: these are shameless whores. Their own internal polls must be horrible.
the article laments how individuals who got the jab numerous times, masked up, and even stayed home feel like a failure because they fell ill.
They are failures.../S
The vaccine was promoted as preventing you from GETTING Covid, as well preventing you from TRANSMITTING it to others
Yet, The Public has seen the recent mass outbreaks in the 98%-vaccinated White House, NFL, NHL, and can figure out that it does neither
So then what’s the purpose of getting the vaccine?
nobody is explaining that clearly
As an unvaxxed “Covid survivor”, I’ve been telling people “Everyone is going to get Covid” since that became obvious after the July Delta surge.
No Vaxxed person believed me in August.
Maybe 30% believe me today. When the rest get Covid, they’ll believe me.
Anyone who believes “Vax immunity” is better than Natural immunity isn’t looking at any actual data.
Fauci, Collins & Wallensky have been lying to us about the vaccinations and they need to be called on it with dates, because they knew statements they were making were false, when they made them. the Vaccines won’t stop the spread of Covid. Only natural immunity will.
Even in the slaughterhouse the sheep are lied to... and the sheep still believe.
i see the jabbed and boosted come down with covid and say
see you need to get jabbed and boosted
If the vaccinated were put in camps the unvaccinated would be safer.
It was the quarantine that produced the second wave...3rd....4th...
Every time we shut people in and let them out...the numbers went up. We effectively beat any chance of herd immunity
What’s the Nanny State going to say, when it overpromised and underdelivered all because Big Pharma is the primary driver of public health policies?
It’s going to say more jabs of course because Big Brother is letting Big Pharma give directions on where the Big Bus is heading.
Reminds me of Vietnam when the military industrial complex was driving both foreign policy and military strategy.
The answer was always more bombing or more agent orange or whatever the military industrial complex could profit from.
We could not bomb our way to winning a war in Southeast Asia just as we can’t jab our way out of over testing for a virus which is over 98 per cent survivable.
Laughing here, because it is so true.
I do not mean to revel in their failure, but sometimes laughing during times of distress is a positive thing because it helps to make the pain go away.

“Breakthrough” is now more like “everyday” or “run-of-the-mill”.
We’re the media. We’re thoroughly comfortable with hypocrisy. You should be too. The end justifies the means.
Vaxx shills on suicide watch! What a time to be.. alive.
The first big mistake was quarantining well people....particularly the children who, because of their natural immunity, would have had us reaching herd immunity very quickly.

Yup. Everything recommended by the “experts” simply prolonged the pandemic; especially locking people up in their homes. No fresh air, no exercise, no sunshine.
Very true!!!
