Loading ...SKEPTICISM : THE NEW WAY OF LIVING
The same people who told you Brexit would never happen; Trump would never win, and that when he did win, it was because of Russian collusion, then because of racism; that you must follow lockdown rules while they don’t; that masks don’t work and then that they do; that protests during lockdowns are a health intervention; that ransacking Black communities in the name of fighting racism is mostly peaceful justice; that Jussie Smollett was the victim of a hate crime; that men are toxic; that there’s an infinite number of genders; that Covid didn’t come from a lab, and then that it probably did; that closing borders is racist, and then that it’s the most important thing to do; that the Hunter Biden story is Russian disinformation, and then that it’s not; that they would not take Trump’s vaccine, and then that you must take the vaccine; that Governor Cuomo is a great Covid leader, and then that he’s a granny killer and a sex pest; that the number of Covid deaths is one thing and then another; that hospitals are filled with Covid patients, and then that many of them caught Covid in hospital.
These are the same people now telling you that the vaccines are safe, you must take it, and if you don’t you will be a second-class citizen.
Understand vaccine hesitancy now?”

Great reminders of the sh*t the “experts” told us.
What are your credentials and where do they rank?
Expertise now is mostly trusted, like the media used to be.
But real knowledge and understanding and wisdom are scarcely to be found.
Great post, and thanks for summarizing this, Sir Fully.
The vaccine’s effects are now showing up in a close family friend, who has had three health disorders, one after the other, the first one starting just before she turned 41. She is (now, was) the healthiest person I have known for over a decade and a half.
My heart aches and my mind hurts for the manner in which all this disinformation and lies were spread by the social media, and how it has impacted the thinking of the influenceable adolescents and teenagers during their formative years. I’m not saying that many “adults” that I know in the 25-50 age group have learned to find the facts for themselves: they are equally influenced and “changed forever”, never to go back to ask the “whys” and question what the media reports.
I hope I can teach more willing learners.
Until then I will never believe a word from the media.
Never did in the 1980s when I saw what I saw as a kid in India.
It is much much worse now.
