I think lots of these people are still accessible through other rhetoric aside from traditional authoritative medical/scientific argumentation. if they're so easily convinced by the techniques used to propagate misinformation, then that same susceptibility should be exploitable for other ends. the trick is to identify it, and either remove the power of it's influence so the person better use sound reasoning and critical thinking, or repurpose the power so the person is bottlenecked into making a decision that protects them and allows them to live and not harm others so they can make better decisions in other aspects of their lives. the decision not to take the vaccine is a clear example of a behavior harming the self and others at this point, and some type of mass action is needed since psych wards aren't an option.

It isn't a matter of logic. It's a matter of Us vs. Them thinking. Until people ascend beyond that kind of thinking they are unreachable without employing some sort of ethically questionable ruse/farce

For people like HamHead, leningrad, paradox, and Heinrik, arguing about COVID is like a game. The consequences and rewards are totally 'virtual'.


Just a reminder that it isn't a game for everyone.


If you're unvaccinated and still treating it like a game, don't be surprised if it isn't one for you, either, in the near future. It will never be an "I told you so" kind of situation.

People got to snap out of bullshit mode and into taking this serious mode.

I have taken Covid serious since day 1, even put a big freezer in my house to stock it up with supplies to ride out the waves.

Result is I saved so much money I could among things have 3 water wells built in 3 Ugandan villages, providing drinking water to over 2,000 people.

All because I took this serious from the get go.

If I hadnt I could have been DEAD, like my aunt.


Battlestations motherfuckers, this is not a drill.


Either stop taking this as a joke or the joke is on you.

The only thing you can do now Koods is try to block that part of you that feels the euphoria of vindication when nobody listens to you and this all plays out.

A friend of mine (British) went to Germany and back this week.

He said they weren't doing any kind of checks coming in through Heathrow.

I was quite surprised by that. Germany required vax proof for entry, but not England.
