My parents couldn’t fathom gas prices above $3 again until it was time to fill up at $3/gal, let alone people understanding the depths some people will go for power and money.
I don't agree with that at all. Coerced, sure. The people who genuinely believed they were doing the right thing is likely very few. I suspect most let themselves believe they were doing the right thing despite knowing deep inside things were not right. If these people are supposedly guided by moral principles, they would plainly see there is injustice for those who elect not to take it. This is simply a cop out. They were either afraid, coerced, or simply abandoned all personal responsibility and rationalized their decision with a number of flowery excuses conveniently provided by the mainstream and others who compromised on their principles.
Not sure yet. We'll have to wait and see. The common folk share the same circumstances and information, while Trump is privy to special knowledge, so you can't equate the two. We won't know until it all plays out.
As an aside, the gist of the OP's argument is that we shouldn't blame people, essentially saying we should lower the bar. I take the opposite stance in that the standard for doing right and good should be set high. First, by removing blame, it cheapens the sacrifices made by those who held the line. Second, the recognition of moral actions should be earned and not handed out so cheaply. We no longer take personal responsibility nor do we hold each other accountable. It's so much easier to keep up social pleasantries. This is partly to blame for why we are here now, and going back to it for the sake of expediency, creating "harmony," etc., will only lead to your great grandchildren fighting the same demons again.
This article has been around and deserves to be kept in front, what it says in a very roundabout way is that the vaccinated can get infected and when they do, they have a viral load similar to non-vaccinated. They are still spreaders, they aren't protecting anyone or preventing spread no matter how much anyone tries to define "herd immunity" as vaccinated or coax people with visions of being a Good Samaritan.. It is the ammunition against the virtue signalling and the attempt to redefine herd immunity. Just wish it was boiled down a little.
PS I'm referring to the article in Lancet, not the rehash.
Neither the vaccinated or unvaccinated are perpetuating this pandemic. It is being perpetuated by governments enforcing policies that prevent people from catching the virus and developing natural immunity.
What’s was always the fastest way to end the pandemic? Reaching natural herd immunity. How will that ever happen in an environment where people are deathly afraid of catching a highly survivable virus?
Well it does seem that the more Trump endorses it, or even claims credit for it, the more there is outlets that are willing to point out the downfalls and issues.
Also if Trump were to publicly denounce and paint covid vaccines are poison, MSM would blame all deaths on him personally, vaccinated and unvaccinated. The vaccines were produced during his administration and it's just not a good look all around for Trump not to stand by his own product.
Lancet was the organization that deboonked HCQ... Then retracted the paper after the media had convinced everyone that HCQ was the most dangerous thing ever.
*Vaccines are perpetuating the pandemic. Not the vaccinated.
The vaccinated aren't to blame. A lot of them are good people who were coerced or genuinely believe they are doing the right thing.
Evil people weaponized empathy. Majority of the people I know who got the jab are good and loving people. Just blind af.

Does this include Trump?

Thank you, the article is trash.
Why would you say that?
I'm glad it's coming out snd hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears or blind eyes.
I'm SO READY for the TRUTH about EVERYTHING to be revealed Lucille! But until the evil MSM is overthrown and executed the sheep won't wake up!
I'm afraid that's the truth.

So why is Trump pushing it? what is he up to?
Well it does seem that the more Trump endorses it, or even claims credit for it, the more there is outlets that are willing to point out the downfalls and issues.
So it reverse physiology?
YES!!!
Don't you mean both: physiology and psychology?
Even more accurate 👍🏽

That sounds like a cop out lol. He can't deny it or he'll take blame so he has to take credit for it and take blame for it!
He is owning the horse that they are riding into battle.
perhaps inverse 4d chess
i think it is inverse psychology. similar to reverse psychology but more twisted.
Psychology* but yes, you’re right!
yeah... it autofilled. and dumb me diddnt look/
He is to much of a narcissist to admit he fucked up.
Whenever you read “ Recent data, however…”, you know it’s gotta be good 👍🏽😎
I like the sound "Criminal Negligence".
Lancet was the organization that deboonked HCQ... Then retracted the paper after the media had convinced everyone that HCQ was the most dangerous thing ever.
Yeah, so if this isn't shifting narrative, I don't know what is.
To quote a post below: "Fuck Lancet"
They published their stance a while back with the misinformation. May they reap what they sew.
Interesting timing...
Confirmation is so sweet. We have only just begun to win.
FUCK the lancet for the erroneous and knowingly bad intel that started all of the death count hype in the early days of wuflu
So Lancet decided that Big Pharma cash wasn't worth perpetuating the pandemic?
Gr8t post thx
Tomorrow-
The Lancet is racist
