I think this is as uncharitable an assessment as are those regarding the parents of the students in your school, Alison. My sister, for example, who has previously been far less willing to take conventional medicines than I, reluctantly decided to get the initial series so she could visit her best friend, whose husband had a liver transplant. She believed the very prevalent and public lie about blocking transmission, as did my friend and former medical/public health colleague who let his young sons take the injections. Honest people can find it difficult to believe that others can lie with such facility, and in such a way that affects other people so fundamentally.

My one sister said “why would THEY hold back medications that worked” referring to ivermectin. She still to this day believes it doesn’t work and that the government is telling her the truth. She’s the smartest one in my family, Northwestern Grad has many more accreditations. Also, all her kids feel/talk the same way. Just stunning!

She may be smart and graduated from a “prestigious” school (those are actually the worst in terms of wokeness) but she lacks critical thinking skills. It was obvious from the onset that there was something very wrong in the response to the “Covid” virus.

I’ve decided…

Courage and Common sense can’t be taught … it’s a matter of innate character and life experiences

And that’s why many many many ‘book smart’ college educated people are missing the mark here.

Smart, honest people often think that other smart people are honest and find it hard to believe they're that sinful and fallen, with the color of their 'water' blacker than others' (alluding to an illustration used to explain the Reformed doctrine of total depravity).
