Most of those billions of people never talk to a crazy dissenter. And most of those who do, do not change their opinions despite being directed towards the actual facts.
I wonder if it has occurred to him that his risk of death from however many jabs he’s taken is a whole lot higher than his risk of death from WuFlu never was. You (& he) were lucky that he was willing to change his mind. I think many of the true believers that are still “boosting” either don’t want to or can’t face what they’ve done to themselves & in many cases, others. And/or absolutely refuse to believe anything outside he lame street media & St Faux-Xi. I’d be very angry but scared too if I felt like I was now a potentially ticking time bomb. Is he upset about what he knows now?
When we met up last summer, the first thing he said to me was how it was clear to him now that those jabs were pointless. Like I said, he is a bright guy, but most people are simply used to believing the mainstream media. It is only the bright ones who stop believing when they see evidence they've been lied to. The stupid ones keep believing all the same.
Does he realize they aren’t just pointless but dangerous? There’s a difference between thinking something was a waste of time / pointless & feeling angry @ those who lied & coerced or scared @ what you may have done to yourself. I’m not trying to beat a dead horse, just trying to understand
A god example of the Sunk Cost fallacy. They are too deep in and can’t - probably know they can’t!- turn back. The only option left for them is to stop and still have been harmed. Better, they seem to think, to keep believing it’s all good and above board.
I am horrified by how gullible people in general are and how they can be manipulated by a coordinated campaign such as Covid jabs. How many years, no decades, of universal education have we enjoyed in the Western Sphere? As some wit put out "given that most of what so called conspiracy theorists, have said have turned out to be correct; should they not be the New Experts?
Absolutely incredible to see supposedly competent adults falling for these scams out of fear. We had friends tell us breathlessly "Not vaccinated no social distancing? How could you still be alive?"
It's depressing how gullible people are and how unwilling they are to actually think things through! I know people who will tell you with a straight face that the Duke of Edinburgh organised Princess Diana's death - like he was some mafia don. (Now that I've written that, I'm worried you all might also believe it!!!)
The people who swallowed the whole covid saga aren't going to rethink their beliefs, they are now "forgetting" about it, making jokes about the more silly things, believing that they never actually followed the majority of silly rules. The jabs are now mostly not mentioned - they rarely even say if they've had their booster although they probably have. They tell me that Putin has caused the cost of living crisis and that the planet is doomed unless we "change our ways" although they are also clear that they don't need to ("barely use any energy, only have the heating on in the winter, only fly 3 or 4 times a year, rarely eat meat, well, only during the week"). After 60-odd years of appalling education systems, most people are uneducated, uninterested, gullible and a bit stupid.

Magic tricks.
