Scamdemic or genuine crisis?

[Dizzybrunette445]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to gather people's thoughts about this covid-19 pandemic and what it truly means.. I have two friends, one is a complete antivaxxer, no passports all a control theory.. and the other is totally for the vaccines. There seems to be a massive divide in this.

What does everything think?

If it was a conspiracy the amount of people who would have to keep their mouths shut is off the scale!

Or perhaps the Lizard King has finally hypnotized us all.

With a cool head vaccines work but it's not anyone else's job to "talk people round" into having one.

Yes it's all a big scam the whole world have got together to deliberately screw up the economy,cancel concerts ,sporting events ,disrupt education etc etc just for a laugh 🙄

I had to check the date of this, where have you been for the last 12 months??? how can some people still be so blindsided to think the last 12 month plus have been a scam, honest to fucking god its laughable!

Getting DM fishing vibes from the buzzy ‘Scamdemic or genuine crisis?’ title OP

I have several friends and family.
Concerned but not over anxious. Mostly double vaxed, and pleased to be so, some single vaxed, some still waiting.
No divide at all, let alone massive divide.

None of them disbelieve in the pandemic, none of them anti vax. None of them believe we are being controlled.

You haven't said what you think.

Good grief.

Look at how many people have taken up the offer of a covid vaccine. There’s your answer about what most people think of vaccines.

Eh a bit late on this maybe

There are lots of threads on this. Have a look for State of Fear and Are We Being Played threads.

No I don't think it is s scamdemic. Like lots of people I know someone who died of covid.He really is dead, no scam there.

The sheeple/wake up/do your own research mob will soon be here I expect.

Having had a person who was very very close to me die at 35 from covid I say take the vaccine and protect yourself from this devastating disease.
There was no other option for me as I saw close hand what covid can do.

A persons close to me ashes have just been scattered that wasn't a scam it was fuckin awful

like a lot of things, I suspect a lot of people are somewhere in the middle:

• They don't believe covid is fake, caused by 5G or that Bill Gates has put microchips in the vaccine and are not generally "anti vax"
• But they don't believe the government narrative 100% or agree with the various (hysterical) restrictions 100%

I'm sorry if that goes against the binary answers/'pick your tribe' that people like on social media, but there you go.

Personally, I don't believe covid is made up etc but I wouldn't know there was a crisis unless I was being told about it constantly. I mean, I'm not aware of any more death and illness than usual - and I live only a few miles away from what is basically a retirement village stuffed with people 80+ - that place hasn't gone up like a box of covid tinder.

I think there was a big reaction when little was known - and I get that. But the gov are struggling to change their thinking now we know more about how non lethal covid is - especially vs the other health and other costs of restrictions. Likely doesn't help that news articles started saying Boris was accountable for every death etc

The vast majority who have been offered a vaccine are accepting it.

The world is not as simple, tribal and polarised as many want to make out.

I agree it is somewhere in the middle although I lean towards the idea that the level of hysteria is completely out of sync with the problem at hand.

Troll.....

so what will you do with those thoughts?

How could anyone think it’s a scam? Are the excess death figures made up?

Equally I think the government response stepped too far into erosion of basic human rights. And the fear based manipulation of the people nothing short of abusive at times.

However, everyone who’s able to get the vaccine should. It’s our only way out without significant additional deaths.

@KatharinaRosalie

so what will you do with those thoughts?

I'm wondering that too.

Strange that the OP is curious enough about this to start a thread canvassing opinions, but seemingly hasn't formulated her own opinion on this over the last 14 months.

So tell us OP do you what do you think? There really isnt a massive divide...

You do realise you havent experienced more death and illness than usual personally because of the lockdown? If it hadn't happened and life had continued as normal, you wouldn't have heard of plenty people unable to be admitted to hospitals for whatever reason because they're completely overrun.

would have heard of
