I've come to accept that people need 'trust anchors' whose analysis & advice they can rely on. And being forced to question that, & eventually even reject it, feels like a disorienting form of apostasy. I don't suggest or try to convince others of alternative ways to interpret doctors' behavior. They would literally prefer to endure the negative effects of ineffective or harmful treatment than to question such treatment or the motives behind such harm. Some can take this on board. Many can't. Coming generations will likely be able to shed such misplaced trust.

Check out famous 1963 Milgram experiment by Stanley Milgram, who wanted to understand why so many people in Nazi Germany were so devastatingly obedient (many of whom were doctors). He created an experiment where people, of all walks of life, would think they were shocking another person to the point of great pain if a person "of authority" urged them to continue to "help" the person being shocked. (No one actually was getting shocked, but the person being urged on thought they were.) 65% of the people in this experiment (those who responded to the ad were a wide variety of people) were this obedient to authority asking them to do something horrendous. 65%. Worldwide, what percentage got the shot? One dose: 72.3%; two doses: 67%, three doses (booster): 35.4%. In the US, the percentage that got two doses: 70%. (source: perplexity.ai) I think there is a correlation there. https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html

Well said. My 83 year old mother who’s been jabbed multiple times and now has the infamous saddle clot into her leg, fits this bill perfectly. I couldn’t dissuade her before and now that the damage is done, will serve no purpose purpose to show her the endless evidence that her beloved MSM refuses to report! Anger doesn’t cover how I’ve felt for four years.

I've said for a while now, the gulf between the unchanged official narrative of "safe and effective", and the reality on the actual effects if the jab and the massive machine pushing it has become so huge that for true believers to change their view pretty much now requires some form of life changing event.

It's like looking out over miles of open ocean to a shore barely visible on the other side, the vast majority of folks, even if they are intrigued by what they see in the distance, will stay where they are rather than taking on the daunting journey across.

Certainly, exposure to good information will help, but as long as the medical machine continues to support the narrative, the vast majority will remain where they are, trusting the very industry that survives and profits off their illness and disease.
