The important thing is you cannot turn these people around. Arguing with them is fruitless because they don’t want to see the data. They will only come around when the people they trust change their position.
This is why we need to focus on protecting doctors who speak out.
We have family members in that mode and this is spot on. Facts from close relatives don't matter, just people they hardly know or don't know at all, but for some reason trust? Hard to understand.
Doctors and Nurses are the Drug Pushers that Nancy Reagan tried to warn us about.
And pharmaceutical companies are the DRUG KINGPINS.
Who was Trump's VP again..?

Programming. Done in school and through ‘amusement’ devices.
Success in school means you are good at following orders and regurgitation of data.
Says the C and D student? :p
jk, the statement is true to a degree; but I did well in school yet suck at following orders; lasted 2 yrs in the military. Too much of a logical, analytical freethinker unable to overlook the robotic idiocy with which the fedgov operates at every level. They definitely don't want my type LOL
On the job, I won't work for a jerk. I do what's necessary to make that coinage and do it well. But act up, get too pushy or authoritarian, too drunk on your power trip, and I'm letting you know about it in no uncertain terms, putting you on notice. Then if you don't shape up pronto, I'm history. Key is to be not so easy to replace.
A compliant worker/consumer.
"The most trusted name in news."
They'd sooner believe some talking head over a 10 year old having a heart attack 5 days after getting the clot shot.
sOuRcE?! "Here you go." Then they proclaim it isn't good enough... Hahahaha
Social acceptance. Some believe the most evil shit for fear of being chastised on any platform that they would sacrifice anything or anyone to get that social acceptance endorphine rush.
These people are the definition of cowardly and completely unable to process anything outside their self-imposed paradigm. They "know" they are right, even when they're left (wrong).
For me, my family members would rather believe news from strangers, than facts from their sister because that would be she is "smarter" than them. That is the last thing on my mind. I want them to live a very healthy life. Being the 2nd to the youngest in a large family sometimes makes getting family to read and accept the facts very challenging.
My parents are the same. They're in their 70s and they are salt of the world kind of people, worked hard in their life and always trusted authority.
If I showed them data is just pointless because they won't be able to interpret it like I do.
It's really my fault, I've never been close to them and I should have been a little more of an authority figure so they trust me not people like Bill Gates.
I think they are terrified of what they have done to themselves and so denial is the easiest option.
We live in a celeb-obsessed culture. Comms suggest the Great Awakening will heavily involve known names, trusted voices for all sorts of demographics, spouting Truth in unison.
"We live in a celeb-obsessed culture" So true!!!!
I think more than anything, I've learned some folks I used to be "very close" to are not the people I thought they were. I expected this from the beginning concerning politicians, celebrities, athletes, local and national....just not so close to home. It's been a real eye opener....or another level of awakening for us.
