Thats really fascinating stuff, Jason. Thanks for sharing.

I have struggled to understand how so many people could be manipulated into believing the covid hysteria, when any rational analysis would clearly show that it is not a major health risk for the public.

I guess the problem is that I don't think like a 'normie.' I have long since forgotten how average people think (or rather, how they emote).

It's a new normal dogma, and like any other it requires faith in authority and suspension of logic for sake of conformity.

That's why you have so many religions with all their absurdities and political ideologies with excuses to harm others - all justified in the minds of the brainwashed.
