2 choices:
- "I believe in the original antivax narrative and any new information I run into that contradicts this narrative, I would double down with all sorts of mental gymnastics and tricks to hold onto my original believe rather than acknowledging that I fell for a ruse."
- "I am open minded and I will change my position if I run into new information that definitively contradicts my original belief."
Every time a new piece of evidence is brought forth to contradict the original antivax narrative, seems like everyone just wallows in #1. I have yet to see a person operate like in #2. And it is not just specific to #2, it's any divisive topic. "Progressives" when it comes to Ivermectin efficacy are anti-Ivermectin and stick, HARDCORE, to #1.
I think everyone buying into this antivax narrative - without being open to you being wrong - are close-minded retards. I've talked to many of you about this specific topic and some are reasonable, but most of you are not.
I tried to tell a dude, here, to stop eating horse paste and order ANY Ivermectin made for humans, online. He refused. I asked for his reasoning for rejecting the vaccines. "We just don't know what is in them and the long term effects of using them." I asked him how that was ANY different from using horse-dosed Ivermectin. He couldn't come up with anything and doubled down. Except...we actually DO know what is in the vaccines are all (you read that right) possible side-effects. It's less safe to eat horse-paste Ivermectin than to take any of the approved COVID-19 vaccines.
But you won't see a single antivax person on this site acknowledging that fact.
