Fact checkers have completely lost their minds- they are fact checking the implied reasons why words are suddenly changing definition. (twitter.com)

“Fact checking” is a ministry of truth agitprop buzzword to begin with.

Journalists were supposed to be fact checkers. Then Columbia decided to codify the profession as political and cultural activism, which resulted in the total collapse of trust in media. "Fact Checking" (TM) is simply the journalism industry attempting to reacquire the narrative authority they had previously jettisoned.

The cdc has been at best incompetent and at worst evil and corrupt for a long time.

A lot of people are just realizing it now but it's been this way for at least a few decades.

They are setting up their trutherism TM so it can be used in the same vein as concern trolling to guilt/make people uncomfortable until they rejoin the herd. This is a tactic employed by cults.

"There's been no change, maybe you are misremembering things. The definition has always been this way. Are you sure you're not getting it confused with something else? Are you making this up for attention? You're doing this because you don't like the organization, isn't that it? You resent authority, you don't like the facts. Truth is as we state it to be, you can't deny the truth."

As the elder Animals of Animal Farm looked at the Wall of Tenets at the end of the book, and knew damn well there was something different about the words, but they couldn't quite put their noses on just what had changed, or how ... or when ...

They were never even vaccines. Vaccines will inoculate you-- these shots don't.

Fact checkers are like those tubers making "Explained" videos, they believe we are stupid and cannot understand/research something on our own.

I mean, in that respect they are correct. The problem is they are evil liars

This

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it changed language in its definition of vaccination to prevent misinterpretations and increase transparency.

does not invalidate

Social media users falsely claimed it was because COVID-19 vaccines are ineffective.

'Fact checkers' are nothing more than paid shills.
