All that this means is that the Govt will pile it on wider and deeper next time.
People need to be far more critical of Shared Decision Making and so called Evidence Based Medicine.
They need to look at the priorities of others and think critically eg Govt needs a Bioscience as an industry - this trumps health every time from the politicians viewpoint; of course pharma need to make a profit and last but by no means least the Govt advisors/researchers etc are not to be trusted - by definition they advise Govt not the individual.
Ironic isn't it...'evidence based medicine' ... patient centric or centred care ... all handwaving nonsense... the first casualty, the quiet destruction of established ethics.
If one injects a cocktail of toxic chemicals into a body it will cause disease to a lesser or greater extent. Vaccines can do no more than that. If only 37% are skeptical after 5 years of COVID nonsense it just shows how stupid people are.
This is indeed encouraging. I think it’s true to say that there’s a general rule in situations like this that roughly 15-20% of the population are at the extreme ends of the Covid opinion spectrum and unlikely to change position, which suggests we should concentrate our energies on the ambivalent/open to suggestion majority rather than trying to persuade those with fixed opinions opposite to our own. Perhaps we’re already at the tipping point where a sufficient number have or are in the process of changing their minds?
Disappointing. 63% still believe the nonsense? It seems to me that many if not most people are:
1) so wrapped up in day to day survival in a cash economy structured to keep them groveling they can barely rotate their heads long enough to appreciate alternative narrative.
2) have such short attention spans that reaching beyond the headlines is tantamount to going back to school.( and who has time for that :):)
3) rely on predigested information in the form of soundbites ( what I call babyfood for the mind) and may never have even encountered source material never mind taken the time to read and understand it.
4) experience severe cognitive dissonance when encountering information from unfamiliar sources that runs counter to their world view of benign government(s)/corporations
5) see a superior virtuosity in conformity for its own sake.
6) may be accustomed to accepting orders from their perches within dominance hierarchies
7) may think that anecdotes provide either evidence or proof when neither may be the case.
e.g. ...." I know someone who's son -in-law's aunt's father (ad infinitum) was hospitalized at age 58 with COV2 positivity and died 3 days later." On its own and without knowing the actual facts including the person's private Medical history... this anecdote is meaningless yet.... some(many) frightened individuals may conflate it with a pandemic trend and add it to their list of evidence.
Unfortunately, the tendencies I've outlined are both powerful and persistent and I don't see them dissolving any time soon.

In short Caveat Emptor, each and every time.

But you can't blow out a fire
And when the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher"

As I continue to say, while some people may stand in line to die, many will not, choosing to walk away; not everyone receives a Darwin Award.
Walking away means many things to many people.
In the final analysis though, it implies the removal of social license and withdrawal of submission to government.
Meanwhile, a legion of kakistocrats and their string pulling puppeteers in the shadows, they will erase themselves vying for supremacy.
