Totally lazy! Although with the "death" stats that were everywhere, stupid/gullible would go along with it.

I think it's something beyond just lazy.

I have a sister in law. She's a smart woman with a masters degree. Is a social worker. She lives in Ohio, and her son lives in Montana. She and her husband go visit him via plane. She's kind hearted by not stupid.

A while back, I told her that there are pilots who are vaxxed who are having problems with blood clots and are dying. That's why I won't fly. She said 'yes, I've heard about that.' But yet didn't seem to think that it was something that impacted her at all. Even though she will flies to Montana twice a year.

FWIW, I think they're brainwashed. "oh, people might have died after vaxxination, but that won't happen to me." "It's just a coincidence that people died after vaxxination." "I'll be fine no matter what happens." I've heard versions of all of those things. Brain. Washed.

I feel like there's some kind of unconscious scorecard that smart, college-educated people have where they gain points for every habit/action they adopt because it's "the smartest thing to do according to experts." Had a coworker tell me with sooo much pride how he takes a drug (like Allegra, but not sure which) for "maintenance" to avoid a runny nose. Been doing that for years, says it with pride. Not so long ago, had to go to the ER because he had a nose bleed spewing all over for 4+ hours that wouldn't stop. ER doc told him the drug screwed up the membranes in his nose....

Same person is judgmental to others for not doing "the recommended thing." Just something I sense... kind of a gasp that you'd have the audacity to *choose* not to do what experts recommended.

The vaccines felt like that sort of badge of pride, at least at first.

Smart people, but not wise enough to figure out one size does not fit all with drugs and biochemistry. Sad.
