I had some really great friends who were amazing until the pandemic and vaccination rhetoric started.
They were oblivious to Biden’s issues/believed the Trump rhetoric, but were still good people.
I’ve now been ostracized from the group because I sourced material saying the vaccines aren’t as safe or effective as they were being told, and that ivermectin has more scientific backing than it just being “horse paste.” They are all incredibly intelligent, but they’ve fallen for the narrative and refuse to consider and other perspective.
Anyone have tips for dealing with this? You think we’ll be able to patch up these relationships when things really hit the fan?
Sometimes I regret researching and redpilling because my life has been so incredibly altered...
In pondering what is making people so resistant to facts, I realized that the WW2 generation believed doctors and government had our best interests at heart. Maybe they did at that time, I don't know. But as the world (and people's characters and attitudes) changed, they didn't adapt. They've raised their children with that mindset, and they have continued to make decisions based on that faith in other's motives. Unfortunately, today you cannot trust either government or medical workers because so many of them are focused on how they can make the most money. And too many of them are willing to sacrifice their character to accomplish that.
