It's quite annoying how I am always asked to prove the truth of my statements about the pandemic and, when I show the research, am told that it must be wrong because it's the opposite of the Real Truth. The other day I gave someone a copy of the letter the Surgeon General in Florida had published about the dangers with the "vaccines" only to be told he was a quack who was friends with Steve Bannon who is clearly a right-wing nutcase and evil man. So the Surgeon General of Florida can't be trusted, apparently. Yet my friend has no research, proof or evidence that this man is a quack - he clearly googled his name and read something. The Believers in the Pandemic don't need to question their beliefs do they? I'm considered to be "a bit wacky" because I have refused to follow any of the rules and maintained from March 2020 that this was all hysterical nonsense. People say I must have a problem with authority and smile in a patronising way!!!!!
My experience as well - & I hate that patronising smile! I have concluded that most people fell for the panic narrative out of dumb fear & just don't want to know/admit they have been had big time.
Could not agree more. I was shocked how deep the rot went, any professional who did not agree with the narrative was not just dismissed but their whole professional career re-written. It was almost impossible to have a civilised conversation or question the “speed of science”. Although I do feel that the position is slowly changing. I, for one, from early on simply did not buy into the narrative as it made no sense, where were the bodies? The mortuaries were not overflowing. I am not trying to dismiss the illness as it was profound for certain people, especially with co-morbidities and on many prescriptions. I now realise that I had Covid November/December 2019, it knocked me for six and recovery was slow ( i had a blood test sometime in April2020 and antibodies confirmed). The push for a vaccine and no thought to therapeutics was confusing to say the least. Nothing made sense.
I had the exact same experience about Ed Dowd on Tucker Carlson. LIke "slowly I turned," Tucker is just lies, lies, lies. There are patterns in these responses I suspect. It is an issue of epistemology, and the believers have to wrap their minds around the fact that trillions of dollars have been spent to co-opt their trusted sources of information, and the propaganda takeover of so many media platforms and journals and magazines has been incremental. What passes as news is now not in the least objective, but that happened slowly. Believing that no sources and no government are trustworthy in an atmosphere of fears around climate and extinctions, WWIII, the destruction of nations, more pandemics, rapid technological shift, exponential daily divisiveness is a huge leap over a chasm that threatens to suck them down. I didn't figure things out quickly myself, and I have refused to believe things before that turned out to be true because I couldn't imagine that things were that bad. I hoped/believed that things would correct, that that reality was the fringe, not the reality. But they really are condescending in their surety, My friend and I finally had to have a code word, since we each think the other is in a QAnon like cult. Though I"m right lol.
