"“Experts” told you if you complied with lockdowns, censorship, masks and vaccinations—life would return to normal. “Conspiracy theorists” told you Covid was never going to end, and governments would use it to usher in a totalitarian new world order. Who do you believe now?" -- Candace Owens

People who are fully vaccinated still need to wear masks. Still keep track of their activities with whatever location scanner app they have to use. Still have to segregate from anti-vaxxers. Still have to comply with lock downs.
And people thought I was crazy when I told them they'll be taking 'booster shots' for the rest of their lives.

That's actually been the only point I've been able to use successfully with vaxxers. I simply ask, "How many are you going to take before you decide the state has overstepped? How frequently?" That normally makes them think and they call me back in a few weeks after they cool down and tell me they aren't taking any more 'boosters'.

, they'll usually say they'll keep taking boosters however the cdc recommends it, these are the people that get flu shots each year too

I never believed them to begin with, but I'm a Conspiracy Theorist for thinking as such when their actions have only proven myself & countless others correct..?

Eh, at that time Candace Owens was claiming the projections that the government was basing their initial lockdowns on (something like 100k-240k deaths by August, which turned out to be entirely accurate) were made up to scare people. She was also bragging about all the small, unnecessary errands she was running.

"Experts" certainly get it wrong sometimes, but not as often or as brazenly as Candace fucking Owens.

Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

She literally ends her statement with "Who do you believe now?" and you call it whataboutism to point out she isn't reliable either?

The blue lefties are taking the vaxx. We deplorables are going to sit back and watch what happens to them.
