-There was 24/7 fear porn that scared a portion of the populace that was too lazy/incapable of digging for real data (that was somewhat difficult to find at the time).
-There are a LOT of people disconnected from that little voice inside that guides them. Call it what you want, your intuitive sense, your guardian angel, your spirit guides, etc. But a LOT of people are disconnected from that voice. I strongly suspect most people that are regulars here have a strong connection to that voice. And of course, part of it was just critical thinking.
I think it's safe to say most of us at a somewhat open mind initially with the jab, but we were waiting for more data as we were reluctant to take a brand new, rushed to market mrna gene therapy. For the critical thinkers, things went downhill quickly from there.
-The MSM appealed strongly to worthless, self loathing, narcissistic leftists with the mantra of "you're saving the world by getting vaccinated".
-Some people had a choice of either getting the jab or losing their jobs and not being able to support their families. This is the group I feel genuine sympathy for.
The group that I still cannot understand and whom I have nothing but utter contempt and righteous fury for are the parents who got their children the jab. By the time children could get it, we had good data out there showing that kids had more risk from shark attacks than C19. And yet millions of parents traded that miniscule risk for a complete unknown with the jab. They failed badly at the most important job they'll ever have. I have no explanation there other than abject stupidity.
