Is there a proof of your words? How can you be sure that a dose of covid wont hurt your organism badly? I risked and took vaccine and booster only to be able to enter facilities (shops), not to lose job, as well as to be able to travel. These benefits overpower risk.

For your information, vaccine does not make you safe, it just makes you get over the disease easier. Vaccine does not make you immune. Check daily case number and pay attention to part vaccinated/unvaccinated.

FACT FOCUS: Unfounded theory used to dismiss COVID measures

But within a few months, this would all collapse. A chain of events—beginning with the death of George Floyd and culminating with a statistical analysis of Black Lives Matter’s claims—would turn the 44-year-old data scientist’s life upside-down. By June 2021, Kriegman would be locked out of Reuters’s servers, denounced by his colleagues, and fired by email. Kriegman had committed an unpardonable offense: he directly criticized the Black Lives Matter movement in the company’s internal communications forum, debunked Reuters’s own biased reporting, and violated a corporate taboo. Driven by what he called a “moral obligation” to speak out, Kriegman refused to celebrate unquestioningly the BLM narrative and his company’s “diversity and inclusion” programming; to the contrary, he argued that Reuters was exhibiting significant left-wing bias in the newsroom and that the ongoing BLM protests, riots, and calls to “defund the police” would wreak havoc on minority communities. Week after week, Kriegman felt increasingly disillusioned by the Thomson Reuters line. Finally, on the first Tuesday in May 2021, he posted a long, data-intensive critique of BLM’s and his company’s hypocrisy. He was sent to Human Resources and Diversity & Inclusion for the chance to reform his thoughts.

Judicial Watch Files Lawsuits Against Dr. Fauci And HHS

Well, at a certain point the "rage bait" headline isn't so much bait if the underlying principles are still egregious. You may not find them to be egregious, but after two years and enough of these headlines, they certainly seem to be pointing to to a common theme.

To the extent Covid has made us all deranged, perhaps the most overlooked phenomenon of Covid is the mass formation psychosis generated out of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety.

See Dr. Malone, Harvard trained medical doctor, explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eJSwigON0k

As explained, an intellectual inquiry made by social scientists as to how it was possible that Nazi Germany would arise from a well educated population comprised of a civil society. How was it possible that a democracy could result in fascism comprising of the systematic extermination of 9 million jews. Surely humans weren't animals in the 1930's, yet we acted like it. Mass formation psychosis was the proposed answer.

It doesn't take much for humans to lose grip on reality, it only takes a bit of fear for emotions to run rampant. How people still fear Covid after 2 years, vaccines, therapeutics, and variants with less virulence is beyond comprehension.  

Psychology experts say there is no support for the “psychosis” theory described by Malone.

“To my knowledge, there’s no evidence whatsoever for this concept,” said Jay Van Bavel, an assistant professor of psychology and neural science at New York University who recently co-authored a book on group identities. Van Bavel said he had never encountered the phrase “mass formation psychosis” in his years of research, nor could he find it in any peer-reviewed literature.

“The concept has no academic credibility[/b],” Stephen Reicher, a social psychology professor at the University of St Andrews in the U.K., wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

The term also does not appear in the American Psychological Association’s Dictionary of Psychology.

“Psychosis” is a term that refers to conditions that involve some disconnect from reality. According to a National Institutes of Health estimate, about 3% of people experience some form of psychosis at some time in their lives.

Richard McNally, a professor of clinical psychology at Harvard University, wrote in an email that people who support COVID-19 vaccines and public health guidance are not delusional. Rather, they are “fully responsive to the arguments and evidence adduced by the relevant scientific experts.”

Health officials have found the COVID-19 vaccines to be safe and effective — especially in terms of protecting against serious illness.

The description of “mass formation psychosis” offered by Malone resembles discredited concepts, such as “mob mentality” and “group mind,” according to John Drury, a social psychologist at the University of Sussex in the U.K. who studies collective behavior. The ideas suggest that “when people form part of a psychological crowd they lose their identities and their self-control; they become suggestible, and primitive instinctive impulses predominate,” he said in an email.

That notion has been discredited by decades of research on crowd behavior, Drury said. “No respectable psychologist agrees with these ideas now,” he said.

Multiple experts told the AP that while there is evidence that groups can shape or influence one’s behaviors — and that people can and do believe falsehoods that are put forward by the leader of a group — those concepts do not involve the masses experiencing “psychosis” or “hypnosis.”

Steven Jay Lynn, a psychology professor at Binghamton University in New York, said Malone’s argument that a group can “literally become hypnotized and can be led anywhere” is premised on a myth about hypnosis.

“His claim represents a serious misunderstanding of hypnosis and doubles down on the popular misconception that hypnosis somehow transforms people into mindless robots who think what the hypnotist wants them to think and do the hypnotist’s bidding,” Lynn said in an email. “The scientifically established fact is that people can easily resist and even oppose suggestions.”

As a group, all of you are being targeted by rage bait headlines, and it seems to be working on you especially well.  That's my point.  

So you're okay with police harassing citizens over not wearing a piece of cloth over their face? Maybe when you drop the partisanship you'll have an understanding at how much power the government has gained over the last 2 years. It's ubiquitous.

Macron isn't letting unvaccinated into places like restaurants and theaters, Just like NYC, or Hawaii, or Italy, or Germany, or plenty of other places.

What he really wants is everyone to get vaccinated.

Because that's how you end a pandemic.

Guess what, most first world countries have been requiring children get almost a dozen different vaccines in order to be admitted into a public school.  Why would they do that?  Because when everyone gets vaccinated for a specific virus, people stop dying from the virus.  It's not a coincidence that human life expectancy has doubled in the past 100 years, and about 100 years ago was when Humans started to make progress developing some of the same vaccines that 9 out 10 people have taken in most first world countries.

You gotta stop falling for all the rage bait.  Apparently any headline that says someone got arrested or thrown in jail or beat up by police for not wearing a mask gets a shitload of clicks, because there are a ton of them.  But if you bother reading any of them you'll see most of them are pretty just a variation of the same story.  Person isn't wearing a mask where masks are required => Police Approach them and explain the rules => Person ignores police/ argues with police / tries to intimidate police / refuses to wear mask or leave/ lies about who they are or something else stupid.

If you've been paying close attention to nations like Australia, France, and Germany, their courts have also declared Covid to be a severe emergency, such that law enforcement can imprison those that might be outside without a mask or enter a building without being vaxxed.

Imagine two years ago if someone had told you people would be jailed for not showing you they took a shot.

There were plenty more misstatements of fact. I only picked the most egregious one that is easily disputable. There is no possible way to believe Omicron is as deadly as Delta.

Government is only willing to take as much power as the people are willing to give it, until inevitably they overreach. I am not opposed to letting people dictate the way they want to live. If they wish for government to micro manage every faucet of society, it's their choice. ...

Fox News host tweets a one liner and you're off to the races.  Do you really want to be like Tash?



In case anyone is interested in context, the exchange starts just before the 47 minute mark: https://www.c-span.org/video/?516920-1/justices-hear-case-vaccine-test-mandate&live

Whatever the case, Sotomeyer clearly indicates that she has little doubt about Omicron causing as many deaths as Delta, and that 'fact' will be an element of her judicial decisions in the case.  Pretty much what the 'one liner' says.
