The degree of cognitive dissonance required to jump from "You can't make me take an unapproved vaccine!" to "I'll take horse de-wormer instead!" is frankly pretty astonishing. Interesting too, in a frightening sort of way.
@eee Looking for alternatives I can understand. To me there's a huge logic gap when someone doesn't want an unapproved treatment so they take a treatment with even less approval as their alternative. The idea that people can convince themselves of literally anything in order to rationalize their behavior is what I find off-putting. Frightening was maybe too strong of a word in this particular context.
@FederalAgent69 @eee It didn't work so it's no longer recommended. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
@FederalAgent69 @eee Sure, if it works. A lot of people seem to be missing my point. If you're someone who always believed the FDA and the executive branch were going to fuck you over, and therefore were never going to follow their recommendations, you're not who I'm talking about.
@FederalAgent69 @eee In that case there is no cognitive dissonance because your current behavior and beliefs are consistent with your existing patterns.
