You have a case, where a big industry "big tobacco" has a clear history of blatant manipulation of the public through paying off the medical community in order to profit. This was 80 years ago.
Today, you have an industry, "big pharma".
And people think it's beyond them to control the public perception and promote fear, inflate figures in order to get everyone vaccinated. What about "new variants" popping up. Children now being forced to vaccinate. In the future we will see MANY new variants and mandatory top-up vaccinations.
Wait and see.
And 100 years from now, people will look back at it how we now look(although many have forgotten) at how big tobacco manipulated the public on a mass scale.
But in 100 years, people will still probably be getting manipulated, because human beings for the most part are not a clever species.
The US army has a minimum IQ requirement of 81. It is *illegal* to enlist someone below that. They prefer 93+.
Do you know much they've invested in trying to find positions for everyone and drive enlistments? With all their systems and investment they can't find anything useful for a sub IQ 81 person to do.
Do you know what % of the population has an IQ under 85?
It's about 16%
Think about that for a moment.
16% of the population are so intellectually disabled(to try to be polite. People have qualities beyond intelligence, but intelligence is very important, especially when it comes to discerning truth from falsehood)
Under 81, I'm not sure, but it's around 10-11%
so 1 in 10 people are incapable of functioning in a job in modern society. The army can't find a role for them and it NEEDS people.
Do you think those 16% under 85 are going to be able to discern truth or just be easily manipulated? A simple newspaper article could just say anything and they'll believe it. Simple repetition is all you need to convince people at this level of something.
The army prefers 93+ IQ. An IQ of 92 puts you in the 29.69th percentile. That means 29.69% of people have an IQ of 92 or less.
Holy moly. 1/3 of the population is below what the army prefers for a basic enlisted recruit?
And no wonder. Even working in McDonalds these days isn't easy. There's so many systems, rules, procedures and the order processes technology isn't that easy to use. It really requires you to be fairly smart to be a good McDonalds employee. You ain't just flippin' burgers nomore.
63% of the population has an IQ of 105 or less.
That's over 2/3. That's the masses.
105 is fairly low. At that level someone has very limited pattern recognition abilities and can't learn that quickly. Advanced statistical concepts are well outside their understanding or ability to learn without SIGNIFICANT time-investment. Advanced logical reasoning is impossible at this level.
You yourself have used many logical fallacies. Most people don't even know what a logical fallacy is, and it's called a fallacy for a reason. It is not logically valid. It cannot be used to prove something or to form a logical conclusion about an event.
The level at which someone is able to reason at a level sufficient to discern truth from falsehood starts at about IQ 115-120. An IQ of 115 is only 16% of the population. I wonder which 16% that is.
120 is 9% of the population.
What about the level at which someone is able to read and understand how mRNA works? To understand about virology. Statistics. How viruses spread. 115+ with a lot of study(Someone in that career). But to actually just go away and do some reading on the topic and understand it is 130+, maybe even 135-140+. IQ of 130(sd-15 normalization anyway, which is what I'm using here) is 2.3% of the population and 140 is 0.39% of the population.
It's pretty easy to see why you can more or less just flaunt utter crap to the public and no will be able to see it.
The smart people who CAN and try to warn you are labelled by the media as conspiracy theorists or nutters.
The 10-20% of the population that's clever enough to see all the general shit also just gets labelled as conspiracy theorist anti-vaxxers. I'm not saying all anti-vaxxers are intelligent, but unfortunately the clever people who try to convey sound reasoning just lumped in with the nutters who say the vaccination is nanobot technology to control you. And of course, they love that, because people will jump over an "appeal to extremes" logical fallacy.
"Oh they wouldn't try to plant little robots in us, don't be silly! Big pharma are good, because they wouldn't try to put robots in us".
so really, all people need to remember are the IQ statistics about the population.
Trying to convince people is.. fruitless.
Those that you can convince, already are acutely aware of the nature of the reality they live in, and those that need to be convinced can only be convinced through repetition and authority, not logical reasoning. Both repetition and authority are logical fallacies btw, and it is how most people have their minds changed. The doctor says X, so you believe X without independent thought. The media says Y enough times, from multiple newspapers, websites and videos, so you believe it.
And with that in mind..
T'chau

I have work to do.
