      You have to wonder how bad it needs to get for the fervent among the deniers to come around.

      Given our experience with COVID I’m guessing there’s a sizable chunk who could be on their death bed still clinging to their ignorance.

        That was possibly the most disturbing part of the pandemic… People in ICUs about to be intubated, insisting that COVID was a hoax with their last words.

        That sort of purposeful disinformation crosses the line into having been weaponized for the purpose of tearing the fabric of society apart – even worse still is the fact that education has been eviscerated so much over the past 50+ years that such a large percentage of people will fall for it.
