Discussion: UK anti-vaxx 'freedom' morons, protests and QAnon idiots

[existentialist]

In the last few days I've been travelling and I had the sense for the first time that people were glaring at me (or at least looking at me in a way that suggested "you're a twat") when I was one of the few masked people in otherwise maskless venues. It was only a handful of occasions, all men 30-50, but I'm sure I wasn't imagining these looks. It leaves me wondering how far anti-mask and anti-vax sentiment has become mainstream.

I hope that it didn't discourage you from carrying on doing the right thing...

No, if I'm interpreting these looks correctly they can go fuck themselves & I will gladly explain that to them if necessary. I'm just wondering if this is a sign of things to come.

I hope not. People should at least feel free to make the choice to mask up if they want to - they're certainly not harming anyone by doing so.

Yes, it isn’t harming anyone - quite the opposite in fact! And it’s none of anyone else’s business what people choose to wear…

Shocking, I know!

Sooner or later, without fail, the batshit conspiracy crap always loops back to the Jew-hating. It's like a fucking disease.

This is one of the radicalisation mechanisms, I think. People get drawn into a critique of an evil cabal and gradually the nature of that cabal is defined by those who had a pre-existing commitment to labelling it in this way.

some nurk had put up a load of 'naturopathic doctor' covid denial / anti vax bullshit on a notice board at work among the more official stuff.

management conclusion was that people are free to be bloody stupid but not on the premises.

Breaking free of the silicon valley shackles and censorship is a great first step, connecting with those like minded is the next. Articles – Natural healthcare, natural cures, free expression, spirituality. Mission statements – A meeting place for the un-masked, unvaccinated (covid), awake not woke and open minded society.

is covid 19 a bioweapon?
written by this man here who is barred from being involved in clinical trials by the FDA due to fraud convictions.
(not to be confused with another doctor of the same name who published: Covid-19 is real, exposing the grifters)
Which lead me to this list of books published by simon and schusters with all the usual suspects in the authors list, most of those coming out in August and September

A lot of them are downright gleeful that we will all end up impotent, dead, or disabled after our jabs according to the FB groups I spie. "just wait until they get paralysed rolf!!" for example.

Vain, antisocial filth a fair chunk of them. Boomers prickling with rage and knowitallism, sat in their pants in front of their laptops.

...sat in their pants in front of their laptops.

And, what's wrong with that?

I am always amazed at the number of studies that come out that could have got the exact same answer by paying me a tenner.

Only just seen this but enjoyed it

How to resolve this dissonance? People could avoid the crowds, parties, and bars and wear a mask. Or they could jump back into their former ways. But to preserve their belief that they are smart and competent and would never do anything foolish to risk their lives, they will need some self-justifications: Claim that masks impair their breathing, deny that the pandemic is serious, or protest that their “freedom” to do what they want is paramount.

The Role of Cognitive Dissonance in the Pandemic

The minute we make any decision—I think COVID-19 is serious; no, I’m sure it is a hoax—we begin to justify the wisdom of our choice and find reasons to dismiss the alternative.

Good comment in Daily Kos somewhere that anti-vaxxers who don't want to be part of an experiment are in fact the control group.

Sure you could get more than a tenner out of the idiots.

Works fine for me.

I'm guessing that the value lies in rigorously demonstrating something scientifically, rather than just "well yeah, that feels right".

People feel a large amount of contradictory things.
