The Atlantic mocked for revising headline asking if it's 'safe' to hang out with the 'unboosted'

The Atlantic was ribbed after it changed an article originally titled, "Is it Safe to Hang Out with the Unboosted"’ to "How to Socialize Safely in the Booster Era," in a piece focused on how to deal with Americans who haven't had their coronavirus booster shots.

Independent Substack journalist and New York Times bestselling author Glenn Greenwald issued his reaction on Twitter, mocking The Atlantic for the headline revision and suggesting how the outlet's approach would change next year.

"People who have only received two COVID vaccine shots are gross, and I'm grateful that the Atlantic stepped and bestowed them with a shameful new name, the Unboosted, while suggesting they perhaps must be shunned along with their even more filthy brethren: the Unvaccinated," Greenwald said.

He continued by predicting the publication would release the following headline in April 2022: "Should the Three-Boosted Still Be Permitted to Work and Leave Their Homes?"

Several other social media users, including former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright, mocked The Atlantic by coining the term, "Pandemic of the Unboosted."

The article dives into what it means to be fully vaccinated, and how that has and will continue to change based on the CDC's booster shot recommendations.

Just wait until the vaxxed are deemed superspreaders.

My car is unboosted.

I am still a pureblood.

Hanging out with the unboosted...

“All hail the 3-shot holy ones! Death to the 2-shot people!”

Exactly... Unmasked, Unvaxxed, Untested, Unafraid Pureblood!

"People who have only received two COVID vaccine shots are gross, and I'm grateful that the Atlantic stepped in (?) [or] up (?) and bestowed them with a shameful new name, the Unboosted, while suggesting they perhaps must be shunned along with their even more filthy brethren: the Unvaccinated," Greenwald said.

Covid panic has driven the hysterical into being drug addicts. Too bad they have no psychological protection against crime which is more likely to get them.

I believe that’s what some of them actually are. I’m not going to argue that this redefined vaccine is 100% effective; what I’m arguing is that in some cases, in some vaxxed people, Covid can live, thrive and mutate and be passed on - all while not significantly affecting them. In effect, making it easy for them to be out and about, confident of their protection and actually spreading. Spreading more than an unvaccinated person who, according even to their side would suffer more and likely be seeking medical assistance in some fashion.

Imagine, government-endorsed (double vaxxed and boosted) super spreaders with no quarantine or controls on them....

If there’s nosocomial spread of CoupFlu in hospitals, the vaxxed ARE superspreaders.

[wally_bert]

Same here.

The problem is the jabbed are infecting each other, and in large numbers if you believe the CDC (I do not), so it's not a case of the "vaccine" lacking 100% effectiveness. One has to question whether it has any efficacy at all.

Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches
Had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches
Had none upon thars.

Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small
You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.

But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches
Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the Beaches.”
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”
And whenever they met some, when they were out walking,
They’d hike right on past them without even talking.

It certainly isn’t pleasant to hang out with mudbloods. They’re freaks about covid. Germaphobes are never fun to be around.

[Gaffer]

One has to question whether it has any efficacy at all.

I guess that could be a question that would need to be answered but I don't think government is going to, or even willing to, allow it to come into question. They are too invested in this power grab and control operation. The only way it can or will stop is for the courts to overrule their mandates.

As the Animals on the Farm bleat: “three shots good, two shots bad!”...soon to be “four shots good, three shots bad!” and so on.
