Fucking seriously.
When I asked someone this recently, they replied matter-of-factly:
“Oh, it’s because everyone is wearing masks and social distancing. If we had always done this the cold and flu numbers never would have been as bad as they have been historically.”
They said this with a straight face and they absolutely believed it.
That classic line, “You can’t argue with a crazy person” comes to mind.
Psychos. Every single one.
Through the power of marketing. They didn't "disappear". They were just "rebranded".
You don't see much "New Coke" around anymore either, do you?
The other day I was having a conversation and said, "Well the flu kills people and did long before this covid shit" and the person I was talking to actually said... wait for it ... "The flu doesn't kill people."
I was dumbfounded. I stared a minute thinking it was a joke then said, "The Spanish Flu killed 21 million people."
They were literally so mind fucked they just dropped it. WHAT is going on with these people.
I used to be astounded by the sheer amount of what I considered to be simple, common, historical knowledge that people just don't know anymore. It's as if every day is "Baby Duck Day" for them.
The Spanish Flu wasn't covered by CNN or MSNBC, so it's like it never really happened, see?
