    Health Nerd Retweeted Alan Levinovitz

    Indeed, I've actually had conversations like this just today about ivermectin. People have tied their entire sense of self to the drug, it's really quite fascinatinghttps://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/1431941489203060737 …

    In case you think Caleb Wallace dying from COVID-19 will make a difference to vaccine refusers or ivermectin enthusiasts. It won't. They'll say "he got the dosage wrong." They'll say "anecdotes aren't evidence." They'll say "people die from vaccines too." https://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/1431695342563647492 …

        I get a lot of “That’s too bad, I thought you were a scientist. Sad.” When I post (scientific) things that they just don’t happen to agree with.

        Not sure what has happened that a large piece of our population honestly feel that if they have an opinion, no matter how ignorant or uninformed, that it carries weight. I'll stick with science and scientists. Thank you Dr. Glanville for your important work.

        I thought some of the methodologies touched on in deradicalisation would be most appropriate, including severing from their community of radicalisers and preachers.https://www.bmi.bund.de/EN/topics/security/extremism/deradicalisation/deradicalisation-node.html …

        It’s very alarming, reminds me of the medieval responses to plagues and other misfortunes which regularly (we have forgotten since vaccines) swept through populations

        People say their vax status when introducing themselves and wear t-shirts about their vax status. it seems most ppl in general have their sense of self tied to cringey things

        People have also tied their sense of self to their vaccine status. Probably govt bots most of them though
