I think you are dealing, unfortunately, with a situation of escalating commitment. The longer this goes on, and the more submissions the average person makes, the more difficult it would become to face that you'd been duped for X amount of time/s. The longer this lives, the less likely people will be to cop on. Not because the evidence isn't mounting, but rather that the more the evidence mounts, the more psychologically devastating it becomes to acknowledge it. For then it becomes, 'stay at the bar and keep drinking, or pay on your way out'. This Covid narrative is the bar that doesn't close down. It's fucking Hotel California.
There comes a point where a person can't be wrong, even when they're wrong. It would mean too much pain, for example, thinking about harming/neglecting their own children. Being worse parents than other parents. Being less intelligent than other people. These are all conclusions which are remarkably hard pills to swallow. Most people have far too much pride to count their losses and change now; they'll let the psychological tab keep increasing until there is no hope they'll even question the narrative anymore.
At that point, it usually takes something undeniable. The proverbial act of God. Their child dies, or something. They have to lose the thing they thought they were acting to protect, or to live for. Only then will they snap out of it, when there's nothing left to lose. Where is that for most people? I certainly don't think it is with any number of shots, as these can always be spaced out enough not to set off any real alarms. I think for most people the breaking point will come when enough people start losing their closest loved ones, when men can't put food on a table to feed their families. If history is any indicator, shit can get really bad before people wake up. And sometimes by the time you do, your family is broken apart and you're in a work camp in fucking Siberia. I think people forget all too often that that's fucking real. Less than a century ago.
