Stupidity isn't necessarily it. The MD who spoke to me about getting the vaccine was not stupid, my brother and sister who visited me wearing a mask were not stupid. They were primed. They've been fed this drivel for years now. The MD could be too busy to read the latest data on the vaccine, or she could just be willing to accept at face value whatever the pharmaceutical industry is selling. You can't discard this as stupid.

In some ways it is far worse, because it is people who are smart enough to know better, but something is inhibiting or short circuiting their critical thinking skills. Is it fear and panic? It could very well me. Is it herd mentality? Could also be that as well.

I was listening to a recent Jordan Harbinger podcast (709) with John Abramson talking about how Big Pharma broke American Healthcare. During the podcast, they touched on the subject of the vaccine. First, they boilerplated the conversation with the "I am not anti-yaxx" which is laughable and this mantra will not age well. Second, the doctor had the audacity to insinuate that if we all had gotten vaccinated, we would be better off now. He even said the vaccine saved a million lives. I was screaming "Show me the data. I would love to see the statistics of this. The assertion was broadcasted without question. There were no follow-up questions.

Maybe the vaccine saved a million people who were in their seventies but took the vaccine and it minimized their symptoms. But who do we have to compare it to? Is there a control group of unvaccinated people in that age range who didn't take the vaccine and had a similar health situations across the board to discover that one group faired better than the other?

If I made a competing assertion that the vaccine killed a million people, you would bet they would want the data to back up such an assertion. And yet, as Gato malo stated, any data about questionable data following the vaccine is not looked into, or even questioned.
