I was talking with an old family friend I hadn't seen in a few years the other day. She had gotten covid a few weeks ago despite having got her vaccine shots. To me at this juncture if you are still questioning if the vaccines really worked to create immunity there's something really up with that. So I prodded on talking with her and what it boiled down to I think for her was when she said she wasn't ready yet to accept that it had gotten to a point of no return. She's older than me and comes from the old school when you gave your government complicit trust when it came to taking care of the masses when it came to creating vaccines to protect people. That topped with her being a nurse all her life it was just incredibly hard for her to accept that people had been led down a path of lies by their own government.
I think we can use that as an analogy to many aspects in our life where we'd never expect the people whom for decades we've come to know as protectors in our lives to bring us down to our knees, it's a hash realization to accept. Whatever the consequence may be that develop that type of security inside of people it could takes years to get over and accept. A large part of the denial comes from knowing that accepting it means moving forward every situation becomes suspect, you have to work twice as hard not to be fooled like that again. On the political spectrum of this is why I think thirty eight percent of Americans can't get past the dishonesty of Trump.
