People who believe COVID-19 misinformation are more likely to contract the virus

a reply to: ketsuko

There are hundreds of thousands of gofundme accounts out there right now for people looking for help raising money to cover the critical care expenses of having gotten sick with covid, or the funeral costs for somebody who died from covid.

But whenever somebody comes on to this site and claims that 9 of their 10 fully vaxxed siblings all died from a disease that only kills 1.6% of people, they don't provide enough information for us to donate a cent.

It's the same with people who say that all 5 of their grandparents died within 6 minutes of getting the vax. They don't give us enough information to donate to their funerals, or even a name and address to send the commiseration card to.

I think some of it is general unwillingness to be frank about what makes the virus really risky. It would mean telling people who are overweight that they can't simply be healthy at any size for one. It seems to me that COVID really starts to get serious when you're talking about adding in obesity, diabetes, being immunocompromised, elderly, etc., to the mix.

That doesn't mean it can't occasionally drag down someone who isn't all those things. We're talking biology and it operates on a bell curve, so there will always be those outliers. But no one wants to tell people that they're at real risk if they don't lose 30, 50, 100+ pounds.

when you compare Trump to Science, is that MR Science AKA Fauci, or simply science in general AKA the News Media

because Mr Science "Fauci" and the news media science have issued contradicting guidance so often that it is hard to keep score. No mask, one mask, two masks.

And even Trumps guidance came from Fauci.


This is an active propaganda piece designed to re-write the history of what Trump recommended
while adding embellishment to polish the apple of technocracy.

The Science embodied in the Technocracy Screwed the Pooch

Huh, strange ... that wasn't the anecdote though. You were simply told that someone knew people who had it. I don't recall anyone begging for your money.

No, they've been updating the advise based on the current scientific understanding.

Only an extremist sticks rigidly with the first through that enters their head.

What science? That's what they claim, but they never bother to try to explain. They only make pronouncements and then get indignant when someone challenges them. How dare you question science?

I haven't actually seen them produce any. Have you?

I've been very curious about haplogroup "membership" overall, and from there, eyeballing the more local histories that may have kicked off epigenetic alterations generations ago.

I thought about it after it was suggested that maybe surviving one plague kicks off epigenetic changes in descendants that effectively overreact when called to urgent action.

Consider it genetic MOS instructions going gonzo over subsequent generations & gene mixing (maybe both lines survived severe plagues in the past, and may explain severity of immune overreaction)

That's pretty much why I'm calling BS on this.

What are the odds that so many people will suffer so much loss in terms of human life, but so few of them suffer financially because of it?

Could it be because they know that trying to solicit funding to cover non existent expenses is considered fraud, and if it's done online it can be a federal offense?

Yes, I watched the briefings on TV where they explained all of this. They gave out a really significant amount of information that covered pretty much all of the data and all of the thinking behind their decisions.

It's also available on the CDC and the NIH websites.

If you don't believe those websites, most of it is duplicated in some way on the equivalent websites for the governments in most of the free world.

This is all publicly available stuff. Nothing is hidden, nothing is a mystery.

A lot of it has even been on Fox. Tucker Carlson quoted it frequently, when stating why he disagreed with it.

It's been absolutely everywhere for the last 2 years.

It's true that propaganda works on simple minds, innit?

www.usnews.com...

In terms of education levels, people with a high school education or less had the largest decrease in vaccine hesitancy during the study period, while hesitancy held constant among those with a PhD, which was the most hesitant group by May.

You must be nearly 100% confident by now, no?

We know cupcake, we know.

Your data sources have been very clear from the outset.

No. They *tell* you things. They don't *show* you things.

believe in science

You make it sound as if Science is a religion that needs followers to believe in it.

I don't think thats how Science is supposed to work.

When the scientists in Iran and Israel agree on something, there's a fair chance that it's true.
