I do now (thank you sir/ma'am/person), not familiar with Onion; also didn't catch the site when reading the clipped post (I see it now). I did think the job that was mentioned was silly and wondered why she would go that route, but left it to each their own.

That elevator that I just used that was inspected and certified? Trusting those people know what they are doing. That car that I drive? Trusting all the safety shit works without knowing the ins and outs of it. The electrical wiring in my house? Hope it works cause I didn't lay the wiring. Society is so complex that it is impossible to know everything about everything and you are just gonna have to put your trust in the experts.

I spent a lot of energy arguing with anti-vaxxers on other boards and have come to the conclusion that it's completely and utterly pointless. Their brains are not wired in the same way. The harder you push, the more they entrench in their opinions. No amount of actual information or reason or anything will convince them. They are just wired differently. Most of them show a level of self-absorption and a lack of human empathy that is truly frightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's just crazy to me. But I've never taken a flu shot, I don't really do medicine (like I said, taking a generic Tylenol while I had Covid was the first time since 2008), its just not something I've had to do. ~2 gal of water, prescribed D2, Vitamin C, and Niacin (flushing), and Zinc (occasionally) is my daily regiment, and its work well for 15 years; usually only get sick when I miss it (makes since, I've conditioned my body to need the input). So to sign up to need something from the government to stay "healthy", I'm not interested; once you are in, you can't get out. One and done (or at least an end in sight), I'd be OK with. When that comes, and other issues have been vetted, I'll roll up my sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
