So what happens if the building was on fire you were in and you were all informed there is a fire in the building, vacate the building. Lot of people leave but you would stay and then before you know it you are trapped in the fire and you are now dead.
It's a shame people out there don't take "scare tactics" seriously. Then they have lost their life and I have a hard time feeling sympathy for them because serves them right for being stupid by not listening. This is how I feel about anti vaxxers.
No, I wasn't saying that I don't take the danger of Covid seriously. Just that the only thing that influences my opinion is reliable, relevent information, and that I don't feel comfy with the fact that propaganda that's sneakily designed to appeal to the emotions appears to work so well that practically every authority uses it when they want to convince people of anything, instead of just telling the unadorned truth.
If you look back through my posts on this thread you'll see that I don't think there's been any scaremongering about Covid. It's probably just that I tend to focus on details, and sometimes it might look superficially as if I'm siding with some belief that I'm not actually trying to side with, especially if I've drifted off topic, which I probably I did in this case. I'm triple-vaccinated and I'm still mixing with people even less than I used to before the pandemic started.
