Yes, the cognitive dissonance continues. Or is it cognitive decline due to the vax? Yesterday, as I returned from the mailbox, a couple of my neighbors stopped to chat about neighborhood stuff. A spouse of one has been down with COVID for the last couple weeks. The other neighbor inquired about her health. I kept silent because I knew they are all true believers with double or triple jabs. The conversation drifted to others they knew that also have COVID and one incident in which a person died after receiving the shot. "How did that happen?" one asked. And another person was diagnosed with a mass of jumbled veins/arteries(?) in the head (yes also vaxxed). But hey, they rationalized, "you know, it was probably undiagnosed since childhood" and "this COVID stuff is so scary", they blathered on and on. I bit my lips and stayed silent. When the vax narrative started in 2020ish, I did my best to educate one of these neighbors that I like a lot. But because she chose not to "hear" me and got the vaxx anyway because "you know that is what is recommended by the government". Since then, I've realized it is best to stay silent because what good will it do her for me to tell her how wrong she is and that her health is at risk? I understand that not everyone has the mental capacity to see and understand and do research. I'm wondering if the vaxx eliminates critical thinking. Perhaps that is the whole point? As always, a well-written post that causes me to think and say "thank you and keep it up".

Yes, if only.

Another timely cooincidence.

But I'm sure what I'm thinking is just a conspiracy theory.
