"The study also noted differences in responses based on the perceived danger of Covid-19 and political ideology. It concluded that those of liberal or left-leaning political ideology were more likely to view Covid through a moralized lens and exhibit an asymmetric tolerance on various issues. More information and in-depth data can be found in the study."

That's because lockdowns, masks, nor the vaccine work, but the power hungry fear losing control.....OF YOU!

If this were not the case, they would have allowed and promoted the cheap and effective therapeutics already available.

I’d be interested in what a repeat of the study performed today would yield in the way of results.

Given the amount of time to do a study, write it up, submit to a journal, resubmit it after some edits are requested, and get it published, etc. I would imagine the questions were put to the subjects in the early days of the pandemic.

I wonder how closely results would track today.

The need for some religion is built in to the human brain.

There are official programs designed to teach the public how to 'deal' with those of us who quote statistics that show 99.9% survival rate and other scientific information (e.g., re masks don't work) from other countries successfully using medications to treat Covid-19 etc.

Then there are unofficial programs flooding the Internet wherein the mask-obedient population is coached  or indoctrinated in how to put down, shame or otherwise force those citing medical experts and therefore not wearing masks into compliance. Here's one small example that "just happens" to be making the rounds.

I think Gov. DeSantis in Florida has done things well. Even the blue SE part of the state’s slowly waking up. I think it’s because things just haven’t panned out the way the doomsayers predicted. Life is basically back to normal. Many stores still require masks to enter, but wearing them below the nose once inside is more and more typical, and nobody objects. There are some exceptions who feel this is wrong, but that’s my observation overall. Spouse went out to dine at a restaurant last week with a friend, said it was very crowded there, and mostly maskless (except at the door, lol). I think if people dared to be public Karens here these days, they would be the ones to get shamed. Normal people are just fed up and tired of the ‘Covuki theater’ (Love that term, wish I remembered who thought of it!)

The entire idea of the scientific method and a free democratic society, in general, is rigorous debate, not orthodoxy.

She must not have been paying attention to the Global Warming religion over the last twenty years.
