TIL: A long time friend of mine got vaxxed recently so that he could attend baseball games.

I'm not even oversimplifying his reasoning. He literally got vaxxed specifically so that he could watch sportsball in person. What's worse, is this is after a full year of us discussing how the virus is bullshit, and the vax is not a vax, but is instead poison, AND he acted like he understood and agreed. NPC status confirmed. What an absolute brainless retard.

Sometimes you think you know someone, and you think they have a mind of their own, and it turns out they're just another zombie. smh

The issue, is that the people who get it, are unthinking, and they are unthinking because they have been programmed that way by the media for a while now.

I spoke to a friend who got the vaccine, it was clear she really didn't give it much thought.

When I gently asked her, "some people have raised concerns about the safety of the vaccine, did any of that worry you"

She replied with

"Not really, because the same people that are saying the vaccine is dangerous, are also the ones who are saying the earth is flat and that climate change isn't real"

The power of labels is very very strong. This is because we naturally 'thin slice' complex problems or ideas

Consider the purchase of a new car as an example... There are quite literally 100+ meaningful differences between cars... Fuel use, engine power, heated seats, passanger capacity, boot space etc.

But when people are choosing a car, the pick 4 or 5 things that are important to them, and base their entire decision on that.

We do the same with information, and we do this with the source.

If a drunk bum stumbled into you late at night and said
"shhhh don't tell anyone, but you should buy Mercedes stock right now... Tee hee hee hee"

You're gonna ignore him.

If that was some drunk wall st exec, you might be likely to press his drunken self for a little more information, and may even act on it.

And don't forget...

Repetition works.
Repetition works really well.
Even when you know, this is being repeated ad nauseum to artificially add weight to the point... It still works!

They are also, doing their best now, to enable people to get the vaccine on impulse
