Only 66%?

    The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it is a serious scandal that Fauci knew of the risks while publicly insisting there were “no red flags” for pregnant women getting the COVID-19 vaccine. (link in comments)

    Only 66%, wow, some people just refuse to see the scale of the damage that was done.

    Does this reflect what you hear and see in your circles?

    I actually think 66% is high… The vast majority of my socials/ folks I knew are/ were from the coasts… and they’re either doubling down on having their heads in the sand or saying that “putting an 85 year old man who has served a lifetime as a good doctor through the ringer is an abomination”.. yeah, I’ve actually seen that sentiment in more than a few posts.

    Those who have eyes wide open are also sharing the sentiment of “yeah, they can have all the trials they want.. but in the end, nothing will happen to any one of them.”

    Take Morens… 5 years? a 5 year sentence? Slap on the wrist. If he serves at all, it’ll be in a cushy prison (Gizz-lane Maxwell’s?) and he’ll be out among the rest of us before you know it. Everyone will forget about it and move on.

    Not me. Not ever.

    To this day I still, after all we’ve been through, find the majority of people I know continue taking the blue pill and thinking things are basically OK; everyone did the best they could throughout the pandemic. There were too many non sequiturs for me from the beginning on this pandemic, and I took the red pill early on. Finding others who had similar thoughts with what was being said and done and eventually the FLCCC helped me to realize just how monumental the deception was. There were very few people in my sphere with whom I could share frankly ideas about what the government and organized medicine was doing. I believe to this day most people just cannot accept that so much harm was done intentionally by people who were so trusted and who apparently have suffered no consequences for their actions. There are some that now in retrospect can get a glimmer of just what was perpetrated on us, but there are still many who refuse to acknowledge the heinousness of what happened.

      I watched Topher Field on an interview with Dell Bigtree earlier this week and loved his argument, that for some people, the COVID response provided an unusually powerful combination of purpose, belonging, moral worth and achievement. People were told that by following the rules they were protecting others, “saving grandma,” being responsible citizens and helping defeat a once-in-a-century crisis. Field connects that feeling to the upper levels of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

      In Maslow’s familiar model, once basic physiological and safety needs are satisfied, people seek belonging, esteem and ultimately self-actualization, a sense of fulfilling their potential and doing something meaningful. As Topher says, “Living their best life”…

      So … he concludes it could make reconsideration emotionally difficult. Accepting that some policies may have been mistaken wouldn’t necessarily feel like changing your mind about a policy; for some people, it could threaten a positive story about who they were during that period and what their actions meant.
