I am extremely disheartened by the loss of friends and professionals from my life for whom I have a lot of respect. Many of them are decades-long friends or colleagues who have been nothing short of consummate professionals.
I had an argument with someone whom I thought to be very smart over my worries about the new vaccine. I'm neither anti-vaxx nor pro-vaxx but prefer waiting until it's safe before taking it. But he, like many others, start throwing labels like "You don't care about public health" or "you're drinking the Kool-Aid".
It's annoying how so many people are so willing to embrace "science" and not question it when the very point of science is to question everything.
It's really sad knowing I'll probably never work with these excellent people again.
How are you doing? How are you coping?
Do they feel bad? Do they respect other people's points of view? What does it say about them that they would allow this to destroy a relationship? Friends should be able to disagree and argue about some things. But why is it on topics such as this and other politicized topics do people become completely deranged? How much of it is authentic and reality based vs. programmed into them by the media and academics, etc? Created entirely out of thin air by a false paradigm programmed into their psyche?
They did the same thing with the election fraud. The media knows what it is doing in lockstep with these commie politicians, foreign interests like China, and corporate interests. They are not the majority. They lost big time and they are so unpopular that they need to lie, cheat, and steal.
They are psychologically manipulating the people that actually believe their bullshit to adhere to what they are being told is the popular, accepted, "expert" opinion (appeal to authority). But they are all just confused morons that can't see that the vast majority of "problems" are being manufactured and amplified by these diabolical narcissistic psychopaths.
You aren't the one who is wrong here. We see everything for what it is. We aren't gullible or naive. We see the scams and the deception. And we remember.
