"People are stupid."
It's about who you trust. Like most everyone on this forum, I trust myself. I don't inherently trust anyone else - they have to earn my trust. I will fact check you until I deem you reliable.
Most people believe what they are told, even more so if it comes from an "authority". Some of my most heated Covid debates have been with a medical doctor friend who has completely bought the narrative and is terrified any unmasked interaction will result in immediate death. Infuriating - lots of "educated idiots" out there.
It is addressed later. The reason is that if you look at the population numbers on the declining side of the peak, there are two distinct humps that appear abnormal. The population data that contains these anomalies is from 2010. A professor is interviewed who recognized the source data because it happened to be a data set he used in his classroom. Watch the rest of the documentary and it will make sense.
Abp. Vigano is what the Church is supposed to - standing for God's revealed truth when the world is doing all it can to suppress it.
