We need to actually take the wins? Yes, but only when they are actually wins

This week Robert Kennedy Jr, the USA’s Secretary of Health announced the following:

“Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again.”

This announcement has been taken as a huge victory. “This is exactly what we voted for”, the people proclaimed.

Well, not all the people.

Now, I understand that we need to take the wins when they come along, and often the push-backers among us are accused of not doing that.

I’ve been accused of it.

Not celebrating a win, even if it’s a small win, in order to recharge, to reignite ourselves for the battles that lay ahead.

If all we do is focus on the negatives, then we will always be in a state of defeat, always desperately chasing the ball, never tapping it into the opponent’s net, even if that goal may only feel like a consolation.

I totally understand that. I do. It’s why people live for the weekend. The ability to relax and step away from the weekday grind.

You work hard all week so you get to enjoy the weekend, and if you take that weekend away, and remove that escapism, then it will negatively affect your ability to work in the week.

You’ll burn out physically, and mentally you’ll stop seeing the point.

If the labour bears no fruit, what’s the point in the labour, right? You may as well crack a cold one, and stick the telly on.

There are victories to be found every single day. Triumphs of the human spirit. The defiance of the odds, and the defiance of authority, in all it’s various forms.

These achievements are rarely elevated into the public consciousness because an inspired population is hardly the goal of the powers that be. That and, let’s have it right, misery loves company a little bit, doesn’t it?

People like a good moan. They would prefer to complain about the chef, than they would send their compliments.

Now, whether that is the natural human state of mind, or whether that’s the state we’ve been manipulated into through all the manufactured challenges we have to face on a daily basis, is another question.

But either way, it’s common place, and so yes, I agree, we are too negative, and we could do with taking the wins more often.

But that said, I don’t believe that means we should just blindly celebrate crumbs, while the demons run away with the loaf.

Language is important. And with that in mind, read RFJ Jr’s statement again.

“Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant womenhas been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again.”

Healthy children, and healthy pregnant women. So what about those that are deemed to be unhealthy? They’re still ripe for the toxic shots?

These MRNA poisons should be nowhere near the blood streams of a single human being on the planet, and yet they will still be recommended for the most physically vulnerable in society, and we are supposed to take that as a victory?

Couple this with the levels of poor health in the United States:

43% of children are on one or more forms of regular medication. 

71% of the country is over-weight. 

41% of the country is clinically obese. 

92% of older adults have at least one form of chronic illness. 

77% of older adults have two or more forms of chronic illness.
