I don't understand how I thought I was surrounded by more based friends, now all of a sudden they're getting colds and jumping to go get tested. Or the other situation is when I share info proving it's a scam, the tests dont work, etc, and they say "no we all got covid a few months ago, it wasnt that bad but i lost my taste and smell" or "my dads in the hospital with covid and he isnt doing good so it's real". I really just dont get how my conservative, gun loving, anti mask/vax, pro trump/america friends can be so naive i guess is the right word for it, or just half awake? I'm learning to just stop myself after asking a few questions like how the tests dont work and such. I see the gears going in their head where I think they get it and then they resort to "nope covid is real..." Just frustrating that the people that have stood on the sidelines demanding no masks, no mandates, are now jumping to test. My brain cant process it.

When you say "take it seriously" please explain. I take every cold myself or family gets seriously and treat accordingly. I don't run out to go test if its the flu or go to the dr for every sniffle. I also don't go around people if we are sick. So yes I take colds of any sort seriously.
The thing is they are aware of the scam, until it happens to them then they run out and get tested or believe that their dad who has a fever tested positive for covid and now want to admit him to hospital willingly. It's like the hamster fell off the wheel at some point
Sounds like they are aware of it, but not convinced of it. This is probably due to lack of information. If they are better educated on early treatment and how to combat the illness, they would be less fearful. This podcast episode helped me understand how to approach this properly: https://www.americaoutloud.com/vaccinated-or-not-acute-covid-19-in-high-risk-patients-demands-early-treatment/ Some more information has come out since then and this was based on the delta variant, but it's a really solid base from a top doctor.
What you’re seeing is more covert mind control. Repetitive messaging plus brainwave manipulation works like hypnosis — people believe these ideas originate within themselves.
