I so agree with this comment:
Another thing I noticed is that those who got the jab cannot be reasoned with anymore.
I have found this to be so true with my eldest brother. I consider him to be a very intelligent and deep thinking man with rational thought processes and totally able to detect and reject bullshit. But his reasoning in connection with covid et al is living on a different place to planet Earth. I don't do it anymore, but previously when we had conversations about covid and I sent him interesting videos and podcasts of so called "anti vax" commentary, he would listen and usually comment "Prof Chris Whitty cannot be wrong and I trust him"...really? I finally admitted defeat when I sent the podcast by Byram Bridle about the danger of spike proteins to him. His comment was "I would not trust anything from a man with the name Byram Bridle... This facile comment was all he had to say about a deeply serious and concerning issue by a man with the right credentials to know what he is talking about. Basically conversation avoidance.
However, as Ant22 said "there is no going back". My family have all had the vaccination now so the damage cannot be undone and it is pointless trying to convince them of the dangers as there is nothing which can be achieved and arguments will only cause disharmony and it is ultimately their personal choice.
It has been long observed on this site that when somebody flips into denial mode, they tend to flip on everything, and that the change in attitude and personality is very fast; they're shooting stars which explode and fall into the ocean. It's surprising and sobering to observe.
If a person accepts that vaccines are good then he must accept that authorities don't lie, which means climate change is real, along with narratives X, Y and Z. Every lie is interconnected and must be supported in order to sustain the primary lie which he fell for and refuses to acknowledge.
After that, they put their own logic and perception centers under attack, they are suppressed and eventually become retarded through sustained neural pathway degeneration. If you refuse to look and think for long enough, your looking and thinking muscles entrain that way and start to atrophy, -which is fine as far as the subject feels, that way they don't have to hurt as much when confronted with the idea that
They Were Wrong!
I think some people are just fortunate (or rather, they were unfortunate) in that they've done well in collecting a long string of correct answers over the courses of their lives, and consequently have not had enough chances to face their self-importance in any significant way. Saying, "I was wrong" is one of the most difficult things for people to do; a high level skill worth cultivating. -Especially since the cultural programming over the last century sets people up to fear ridicule from peers in ways which are today amplified even more so with social media. -So when they find themselves face to face with this test, having only a few events in the past to familiarize and get comfortable with Being Wrong, they dig in and double down, triple down, lie, evade, scramble, attack.., and
Fail The Test. The cascade of knowledge self-destruction begins in earnest and another bright star falls into the sea.
I think this might explain why some of the seemingly smartest and most thoughtful people crash the hardest; their natural abilities have insulated them against failure to the point where they have zero skill when it comes to a wrestling match with their egos.
