The strange psychology of the pro-vaccine people is in some ways eerily fascinating. If the vaccines worked as originally promised, they would have nothing to fear from the "refusers."

So...while on the one hand they seem to understand they are still vulnerable, and that the vaccine does not prevent them from catching and dying from covid, they still insist on their immune superiority. As if the unvaccinated were solely responsible for their current covid problems.

They completely ignore natural immunity, have no tolerance for people (such as myself) with medical conditions that make a covid vaccine a bad crap shoot, and are resorting now to brute force to try to push their will on everyone else. If you try to direct them to possible covid treatments, they'll bizarrely push it away from you as if it were poison, and I'm not just talking ivermectin but very safe herbs and supplements.

The fear is palpable...they are terrified, angry, and completely lost. It's almost a psychosis.

Now, whether this particular writer is simply manipulating that fear on purpose or actually buys into her own BS is not for me to say. But it does infuriate me that someone who is, as you say, so spiritually stunted is writing for The Atlantic, and has such a huge platform, while you and Alex Berenson have to hide out on Substack.

We have a very diseased society right now, and by that I don't mean covid.

I still favor the Grand Inquisitor model for what drives the psychology of the Covid vaccine supporters - they have grown tired of freedom; they want to be told what to do by an authority that offers a promise of deliverance from suffering. If heretics are allowed to prove that obeying the authority confers no magical protection, those heretics must be burned at the stake. The average Medieval peasant was just as intelligent and knew just as much about the natural world as most people today, after all.
