They’ve become convinced that Covid is worse. Even though they’re also convinced that half the population is out there spreading it with zero symptoms or ill effects. It’s the craziest thing.
(To be fair, Covid was very very frightening for one member of my household. The rest of us followed it with a mild but strange cough or sniffle. It’s a bizarre illness.)
And thus you see the reason why waking people up is so difficult. The constant 24/7 stream of fear porn is pretty much destroying people psychologically to the point where they're unable to process any other competing theory or information. COVID is the new AIDS epidemic in how fearful people are of it; also complete with massively irrational theorizing on how dangerous its spread is.

There are traces of information that point to people who get the flu shot being more susceptible to COVID. Can't prove it, though...
