Since March of last year our weekly meeting of about twenty-five has been conducted through MS Teams. Most are engineers, and quite a few have PhDs. I have all but given up given up on trying to red-pill any of them, though I have been forceful enough in the past that they all know where I stand.
Usually I skip the first five minutes of shooting the breeze, because I can't take the sheer stupidity of what gets unquestioningly bandy about. But today I slipped and was only one minute late. A guy who is retiring at the end of the month was relating how he and his wife got jabbed in February, but (surprise) his wife got CV and has been sick for a week. They're still sharing a bed, but no sex. He is getting tested in a few days, and hoping his anti-bodies pull him through.
The ignorance was already pretty thick, but then he said at least her symptoms are less severe than the unvaxxed. And that 98% of those hospitalized with CV are unvaxxed.
This opened the floodgates of speaking in tongues: so-and-sos father died of CV, somebody's father in law died, was going to go home to India but the bodies are stacking up, Indonesia is the new hot spot, on and on. Not a glimmer of awareness of reality, like say, of VAERS, or that new CV cases and deaths have a strong correlation to vaccination adoption.
So depressing. Makes me not give a shit about anything having to do with work, or our software products. Early retirement is looking better and better.
“Most are engineers, and quite a few have PhDs”
Credentialed people can be difficult to redpill because their credentials were costly and redpills are free
Ego certainly has something to do with it, I'm sure.
You've got it worse than me! Does he know that Q has nothing to do with the impossibility of masks stopping a respiratory virus? And that Q did not make the vaxx that instructs the body to manufacture toxic spike proteins? You know, things like facts?
Feelings don't care about your facts!
Sorry if this is random but coming into work this afternoon I realized I was following a car with a patriotic “Q” in their back window. Made me so happy I had to tell someone lol. My family doesn’t follow Q and my brother has even tried warning them about “Qanon”.
"Isn't it amazing that Influenza has all but been eradicated during this Covid pandemic?"
"That's because the masks stop it."
"Then why don't masks work for Covid?"
"Because Covid's more contagious."
(In a TikTok I saw the other day)
That’s why I don’t watch TikToks lol. Well, that and most of them don’t make sense to me anyway
Lawd!!
Count your blessings. My Congresswoman is in the "squad" & I've seen "In Fauci we trust" sign's on people's lawns. When I find a neighbor like your family members I rejoice & shoot the shit a little
My friend says that my house is too patriotic. Excuse me? I'll be glad to help you pack your shit to move to any other country of your choice. He is a vet.....bruh!! seriously??
Please get a picture of that Fauci sign. I'd love to share but no one is crazy enough by me to display one
They really have ‘In Fauci We Trust’ signs?
Wow.
TimeToFreeAmerica.com is a good site for finding information on a variety of topics, from the rona to fraudci to various other corruption.
It's hard to have enough introspection to see you might be wrong and harder to recognize it going forward. They are IRL bots at the moment.
The road to hell is paved with Ivy League degrees. - THOMAS SOWELL
PhDs eh… yea that’s the problem right there. I find that the vast majority of PhDs are either supremely intelligent, or just fools. It’s like a bell curve … there is no median, a PhDs is either really good in their fields of study AND thinkers OR are full on idiots.
Remember folks, only 1% (probably less) of the ‘PhDs’ actually make a difference in this world.
Oh so true. The master degree friend is starkly rigid in thought and PhD in Chem got the “vax”. Quite ironic.
I hope he read MSDS sheet for the vax, haha.
Lol. They are just SDS sheets now a days.
Now I guess I would be considered an OG engineer then? Still MSDS to me haha
We always called the PhD's "Piled Higher and Deeper"
And too many people equate degrees and credentials with intelligence.
They give "honorary degrees" to politicians, and that should be all you really need to know about degrees being a marker for intelligence.
"Dr. Jill" enters the chat...
With Dr. Tedros.
Piled Higher and Deeper
BS- Bullshit MS- More shit PHD- Piled High and Deep
Now THATS what I call WISDOM!
Markus........that is an excelllent saying denoting a deep thought process.......... kewel
True in my family. Those with the greatest number of advanced degrees are rabid about getting everyone else vaxxed, including small children.
It makes me worried for mankind.
I remember back in 2018 feeling really angry for awhile, once the realization set in that I'd have to unlearn so much and that a lifetime of learning was pretty much garbage. (Well, the tools for digging and drawing logical conclusions were still worth it!) The twists and turns of the Q movie has pretty much taught me to live with uncertainty, but I miss the time when I could short cut to "trusted" info channels. I'd imagine those types of feelings are what keep educated people glued into the matrix.
My fren, I am late to this comment party, and I also see you have a triple digit updoot.
But I just wanted to let you know that your comment is simple truth - good work!
PHD means the initial 14 years of indoctrination, plus another 12 years of hardcore brainwashing that you go into hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt to acquire. They have so much skin in the game that taking the redpill would flay them alive.
Well put. That's a keeper!
Those with the biggest egos are those with the most resistance to admitting they were wrong.
“Credentials are costly and redpills are free.” That should be framed
This is ABSOLUTELY a thing. In my family, the most educated ones (physicians, nurse practitioners, PhD geneticists, engineers, AirForce intelligence...), are the ones who are doubling down on this issue.
It's like higher education sapped all their horse sense.
Wow good point. There are a few of us who sought knowledge for knowledge's sake though & we are always looking for the truth, regardless of the cost
“98% of CV hospitalized are non-vaxxed”. Now that’s a huge steaming pile right there. Reports I’ve seen are around 60% non-vaxxed.
