We can say “beware” and “I told you so” until we turn blue, but some people just need to find out for themselves.
They have too much invested to admit a mistake.
You hit the nail on the head.
It's why we are still being told decades later that eggs increase your cholesterol and that you should skip the yolks and stick to the whites.
That advice infuriates me because the yolk is the most nutritious part of the egg and can actually LOWER your cholesterol as part of a healthy diet and exercise lifestyle. This is because in the absence of dietary cholesterol, your body will produce its own and it won't be the healthy kind of cholesterol. We knew this for decades and it has been suppressed.
But the medical establishment will never admit they were wrong and so still stick to the same stupid advice.
It's hard to accept that these Branch Covidians believe this with all their might. They view any critique of Herr Fauxi or the tenets of Covidianism is an attack on their very existence.
Many told themselves they didn't believe in God or religion but instead they believe in Covidianism as their god and religion.
