[QUOTE=the other bob wilson;5553996]I’m sure it had something to with a thread on here,but I wanted to find a figure for the number of Covid deaths and found the figure of 7 million, so there wasn’t much thinking through because from my position I don’t think I needed to.
I like to believe that your average person (including me) are open minded and intelligent enough to twig when they are being conned even if they believed the con at first.
There’s a public enquiry into how the Pandemic was handled going on at the moment and I’m sure it will identify stacks of things that could have been done better. However, I don’t for one moment believe that the gist of the conclusions they arrive at will be formed by a belief that Covid was nothing more than a version of the flu and that the measures introduced to try and control the virus were in fact part of a plan to indoctrinate and subtly persuade the population into meek acceptance of policies aimed at restricting their basic freedoms.
Right from time Covid was detected and then given a name, the gifted and critical thinkers on here were on it like a rash jumping to completely predictable conclusions because that’s what they do. The months that followed saw all sorts of absurd speculation from them and there were cases of some of them taking time of on here and when they returned (or started posting under.a new name in other cases), things had changed, now they had a common set of beliefs to work with and it was just a question of shoehorning any new information into that set of beliefs to try and make it look like they were right all of the time - that process continues to this day.[/QUO
Why are you so obsessed with calling people who saw through the propaganda “gifted” and “smug” etc when in-fact all they were doing was quietly questioning ludicrous government decisions that made absolutely no sense at all.
Ultimately the government were right to make certain decisions, but they were wrong to scare the pants of the majority of people under 55. Looks like you fell for the multi billion pound project hook line and sinker which is understandable when you think about how the paid for media industry reported the virus from the off.
Scotch Egg anyone ?
