What is a vaccine?
Saturday marked the final day of the International Crisis Summit (ICS), an annual conference where independent scientists and experts from around the world exchange data and ideas.
This year’s summit, held in Tokyo, featured dozens of speakers who discussed governmental tyranny, censorship, and the dangers of mRNA vaccines.
America’s Frontline Doctors founder Dr. Simone Gold, who is both a physician and an attorney, spoke to the attendees about whether vaccine mandates were legal under US law.
What is a vaccine?
Dr. Gold began by citing Jacobson vs. Massachusetts, a 1905 case in which the US Supreme Court ruled vaccine mandates were legal. The lawsuit was brought by Pastor Henning Jacobson, who had been injured from vaccines and refused to submit to the smallpox vaccine mandate decreed by the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Jacobson was fined $5 — equal to about $175 today — and sued the city. In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court sided with the state.
But while there is precedent for vaccine mandates, Dr. Gold noted, the question remains: what is a vaccine?
She explained how the definition of a vaccine has been changed multiple times to accommodate government science. In 2018, for example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defined a vaccine as “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”
In 2021, after it became apparent that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine did not protect people from the disease, the CDC changed the definition of a vaccine to “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”
What is a vaccination?
The same was done for the word “vaccination.” Until 2015, the word meant an “injection of a killed or weakened infectious organism in order to prevent disease.” Then the CDC changed it to mean “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.”
In late 2021, as it became clear that the COVID mRNA vaccine could neither prevent nor immunize against the virus, the CDC changed the definition of “vaccination” again. This time, it was defined as “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.” The new definition fit perfectly with the government’s later sales pitch for the vaccine, which was that the shots only protect against severe illness and death.
In January 2024, the definition of “vaccination” changed again when Merriam-Webster quietly added gene-altering mRNA technology to the definition of “vaccine.”
The significance of these changes, explained Dr. Gold, is that these are not the same vaccines the Supreme Court ruled could be mandated back in 1905. Nevertheless, the government’s Orwellian tactic of retrofitting science to suit its purposes means that centuries-old laws are being applied to dangerous experimental injections. Children can be forced to take any injection under school-issued mandates as long as they fall under the CDC’s definition of vaccine.
