LMAO I got banned from the COVID antivaxxer Community Watch thread for making jokes about how you better get vaxxed every other month and sure enough, The Experts are recommending it now. I'm so sick of being right these past two years.
A year before covid hit I had some discussions about vaccinations with lefties. They rabidly attacked me for stating some very milquetoast middle of the road statements like "do you think there are risks with there being no financial liability for adverse effects of vaccines for the companies developing them?"
After all, any damages, if proven (hard), are legally to be paid by the state. I can see arguments both ways. But of courae that's not how it went. I was attacked, ridiculed, piled on for even asking antivaxer questions and told that my children should be taken from me.
It was very informative. Because there is no surer way to know which is the wrong way, than to have lefties go absolutely rabid over something. They drink more of the coolaid, so whatever they believe strongly in, is usually a sign of something being ramped up by propaganda. It helps you identify which subjects globohomo has irons in the fire for.
Why would you be sick of being right? You know who's sick of being wrong? People with clots. You also never had a beter barometer for people and their ability to not be hooked up to propaganda too much. Great opportunity to seperate men from cattle.

But I have my doubts it will be remembered as a lie at all. The simplest way to divide worldview paradigm used to be left vs. right. But I think covid skeptic vs. loyalist is more apt recently. You can't really have genuine conversations across this divide. It governs what medicne you use and advocate, it governs how you organise social engagements, it governs how you think children should be treated and educated. And in these regards I have more in common with those across political lines who think covid vaccines are a scam than those on my supposed political side who folded.
I know more people that regret taking the vaccine than who were glad they took it, but I think that's an anomaly of my social circle. When I talk to people outside of it, those who did take vaccines or boosters sound like they'll never consider the possibility that they made a mistake. And as these people are typically in education, I expect the history to be written as that it wasn't a lie at all.
