re: White House preparing for major narrative shift: sudden deaths = Long COVID, not the vaxx.

You mean the narrative that was made up out of thin air by a bunch of imbeciles?

Um.....really?

In a similar way to how you can get injuries in MVA’s even though seat belts work.

Nope. I didn't take the polio vaccine to get a little less polio.

Your only available analogy would be that somehow seatbelts would keep you from getting into a wreck. They clearly do not do that.

The leftists on this board started parroting this last week.

The talking points went out last week.

People can't stop talking about sudden deaths, but I'v yet to see any data that shows it's only the vax suffering this fate

---

That's because that data doesn't exist

But it doesn't stop people from declaring it to be gospel

That's why it's important for institutions that have credibility not to flush it down the toilet. It's a tough thing to regain once lost. Once trusted institutions now rate slightly above used car salesmen, and that probably won't change in my lifetime. The FBI is political and everybody knows it, the media is political and everybody knows it, the AMA is political and everybody knows it. You can cluck your tongue at the serfs for trying to interpret information themselves, but the "experts" left them little choice.

---

Sure. Decreasing your credence in testimony from people who have earned less trust is prudent and you do wrong to over-trust in that circumstance.

When you're excessively distrustful, though, you actually become quite gullible and tend to believe, arrogantly in the sense that you're (1)overconfident and (2)poorly justified. And a lot of the reasons for distrust are acquired through a tribal epistemology - people aren't generally "doing research" when they come by new information - they're feeding rationalizations at their priors.

quote:

---

Summarize these studies, post them and destroy the narrative.

---

I posted one study already

And something that is made up out of thin air with no real world data to back it doesn't need to be "destroyed" so much as it needs to be ridiculed.

Thats an amazing rationalization for blindly trusting “experts”.

Blindly trusting social media videos and anecdotal evidence is much better

Not blindly - there are actually better ways and worse ways to ground trust.

Yes, but you’ve continually peddled trust in authority over direct observation. No thanks.

He's an authoritarian.

Covidians are extremists. Their little game trumped the economy, in their opinion. Their opinions were over valued.
