My uncle confronted his son and his wife who are both full time college professors. The school did not require their 13-year-old son to be vaccinated and boosted... they made him do it. My uncle asked if they thought that the vaccinations might have caused his always healthy and active grandson to have a massive stroke. The two college professors told my uncle that was the stupidest thing that they had ever heard...
So, no not even a massive stoke, brain damage and the near death of their only child made a dent in the faith in the medical authorities of my two genius professor cousins. I should send them an invitation to some of the Covid discussions that we have here. They would fit right in with our cabal of Covidiots.
I was 88 when the chicom virus-attack happened...
When the vax crap got fully underway, I asked my GP doctor if he could give us a reason to comply...
He told me that, since it had not been thoroughly tested, at my age it would be like putting a gun in my mouth and playing Russian roulette...
Sad. Usually such family members you describe are living in an alternate universe. Usually it’s hopeless.
Best thing I have found to do in such cases is stay quiet and be helpful when available. That way, when reality bites, they won’t think bad of you as much as others.
They know. They just can’t (or won’t) ever admit it. Leftists are really, really strange that way. I used to try and reason with some of them, at the least the reasonable ones. They are curiously immune to facts, logic, and reason. You can patiently guide them through basic concepts, irrefutable historical examples, lesser known suppressed incidents, science, more historical examples, doesn’t matter.
You’ll part thinking you’ve made a new convert. Then see them again in 6 months and they are even worse! It’s like they just see things the way they wish things would be, and then exclude any information that doesn’t comport with their fantasies, and then make up stuff to try and fortify their fairy tales. Start with a conclusion and work backwards and try to make it fit.
They can’t admit to ever being wrong about anything, or change their worldview, have seen this over and over. It would crush them, they are weak people. It’s easier to fool people than to get them to ever admit they were fooled.
