A close family member angrily told me last night that my wife, children and I are no longer welcome around her and her children (and MY PARENTS!) until we are all fully vaccinated. She called us "selfish idiots". She interrupted every factual objection I attempted to raise about the vax with "Fauci says...."
I asked her if she had read Fauci's emails. HER: "What emails are you talking about?" ME: "The 1000+ released through a FOIA request several weeks ago." HER: "Oh, don't be ridiculous. Those emails were debunked." ME: "How so?" HER: click.
It is disgusting and heart breaking how the MSM has brainwashed the masses and caused mass psychosis and panic. Common sense and logic have been completely abandoned.
I have not encountered a single liberal or vax zealot that is willing or able to have an actual rational and fact based discussion on any topic that is counter to the narratives. I give up.
While I believe it's true the media is the enemy of the people, the people themselves bear at least some responsibility. If you don't want to know the truth, if you refuse to hear the truth, if you refuse to listen to anybody else's (including scientists and doctors in this case) view of things, than that is your fault and your responsibility. Honestly, it puts me in mind of what some might say when they face God one day ... 'but - but - but - I didn't know. Nobody told me.'
