When one of the vaxxed dies, I say "it was sudden and unexpected. The doctors are baffled. So sad." Everyone gets what I mean. The vaxxed know.

Only those vaxxed who have the necessary character fortitude to face the truth, ie grant themselves the permission to know as it were. Vast multitudes remain in wilful ignorance 😒 I gather it's largely an effect of subconscious scare: their psyches block the knowledge that's too emotionally charged for them to safely bear.

There’s an old Navajo proverb that says: you cannot awaken someone who is only pretending to be asleep (ie willful ignorance, refusal to face the truth, etc.). Only those who are truly asleep can be awoken...I guess the trick is knowing which one you’re dealing with!

I'd venture 'tis a double-whammy of a trick: they themselves hardly know to differentiate 🤷

"When a person chooses to believe a lie, their thinking becomes skewed and twisted because they must distort the facts to fit their belief. There is a blockage in their reasoning abilities.

And some part of them knows that they have chosen a lie, so there is a deep tension within them as they try to hide from themselves that they have chosen the lie.

The truth then becomes a terrible threat to the false personality built on the lie, with the anger and vigor with which they attack matching their fear of self-exposure."

The whole nation is suffering cognitive dissonance across the board. I expect 2024 to be climatic.

We just say they had a Suddenly or a Coincidence.

Same, slightly different words but very much the same. They do get it.

Easily “baffled” has become a new genomic trait, I’m guessing. Editable by syringe? Convenient timing, either way…
