I will never understand why so many people were willing to believe it was a hoax.

Nobody with a grad degree in microbiology or biochemistry could possibly both earn that degree legitimately and still not believe germ theory and basic preventive measures to spreading infections and diseases, like washing your hands with soap.

She must be a stinky motherfucker to not use soap in the shower. Does she also not use soap on her dirty dishes? How about laundry? The carwash? The effectiveness of soap is like fucking BIO101. Inexcusable. Tell her that this stranger on the internet says she's a fucking moron who needs to set her degree on fire and go apologize to the nearest tree for wasting so much oxygen on her stupid fucking excuse for a brain. Goddamn, I hate people.

Did your mom come around or does she still believe she couldn't breathe because of a hoax?

It took that to make her realise the doctors were right, yeah.

I've heard of people going through all that and still thinking there's a "Plandemic"

Oh gosh, that reminds me of a bingo card I made at the time. I didn't have enough for a full 5x5.

The rampant usage of the misinformation machines in everyone's pockets and a blatant lack of a basic understanding of statistics.

Oh and a healthy dose survivors bias.

Feels nicer to believe it’s all because of some nefarious pranksters than accept nature is random and cruel and viruses really can arise at any time and just tear down your world. If it’s all fake, there’s a tangible enemy and someone to blame.
