Re: they've been programmed

What I'm asking, though, is that if you have that little faith in doctors' opinions - and they are overwhelmingly, like 99.99% in favor of vaccines - why would you bother going to them?

No, we should never have blind faith in any institution or profession, but when the chips are down, the wise man defers to the opinion of the experts...and what they almost one and all are saying is: the vax works and your odds of suffering adverse side effects are about the same as winning the Powerball lottery.

Don't we sort of...have to? There's so much human knowledge now no one person can possibly be an expert in all of it, so if we're not deferring to the experts, doesn't that essentially make us CharlestonTom coming on here and telling us all Hurricane Ian wasn't a real hurricane and wouldn't do anything right before it wiped Fort Meyers off the map? Or that millions of Indians were in fact dying of "starvation" about ten minutes after I got done texting back and forth with an old friend and former business partner of mine called Pasha who was busy sending respirators back to his relatives in New Delhi on his own dime because they were dropping like flies of COVID and he felt the need to help out?

We don't pick and choose how the guy flying the 747 flies it. We just trust him to fly it because we have to and hope he's up to it, and if he flies it upside down and dumps the passengers out all over the aisle because, well, he was flying upside-down-like, we fire him afterwards...but that's about all the control we actually have, right?

All this vax info comes from, seemingly, two main places: hostile foreign powers like Russia (where the bulk of the vax disinformation originated) and reddit and 8kun threads from folks just like Tom who are just blindly hostile to every establishment because they're basically Morlocks and they hate everyone and want to kill most of them. (He genuinely does.)

You are neither. So I don't get it.

Doctors do argue that.

They do not deny "natural immunity" is a thing. It absolutely is. You're undoubtedly more protected now than you were before the first time you got it, that's why so-called "virgin field epidemics" are so devastating, they get into a population with no immunity, and whoosh, brushfire.

But they absolutely argue completely the opposite, and their studies are pretty conclusive on that:

COVID Natural Immunity: What You Need to Know

Even if you’ve already had COVID-19, getting a coronavirus vaccine is recommended. These are the things you need to know about COVID natural immunity.

Again, the reason I'm arguing so hard is twofold. I'm incredibly leery of the way misinformation and deliberately-targeted disinformation (disinformation is deliberate, used by hostile parties for the purposes of harm, pure and simple), are poisoning our discussion and even our possession of the actual facts as a culture and a nation, and most importantly: COVID-19 was probably either an accidental lab leak or a freak act of nature.

The next megabug won't be. It's in the playbook now, and bad actors worldwide have seen how vulnerable America (and the West) are to disinformation, and how our own cretins like Fox News will capitalize on institutional distrust because it plays with their audience, and as such, pays. (They're literally killing people for profit. Doubt it? Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch was one of the first humans on Planet Earth vaccinated, in December 2020. In England, by the way, where he splits his time between there and Australia. America's just a cash cow to him, a target audience...and obviously, an expendable one.)

Murdoch receives COVID-19 vaccine as Fox News host casts suspicion on campaign

Media baron Rupert Murdoch received a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this week, a day before prominent opinion host Fox News's Tucker Carlson raised suspicion over the marketing strategy for the vaccine.

The next one's likely going to be deliberate, and if we don't act with unity and purpose and organization next time, we're going to drop like flies. We lost almost 1.1 million and counting...how many will we lose next time?

I'd prefer you didn't die, and I'd really prefer you didn't run around infecting others because you're counting on "natural immunity" and as such become a walking incubator of death because, well, you think it's your right as a Real 'Merricun, you know?

And I'd be willing to bet there is a next time, and within the next 10-20 years. It'll come from some obscure province in Africa or South America, but its origin is almost certainly going to be a biolab from China or Iran. That is the world we now live in.
