I’m not unwilling to be proven wrong because my intent is to get the truth out, not to be right. If I’m wrong, so be it as long as the truth is out.
Now, as I’ve said, these people could be in denial since they know that if they had COVID, they were most likely going to die when they were experiencing severe symptoms simply due to reading about the death toll being reported EVERYDAY in the media.
Which would imply that they KNOW COVID is real, but they’re not willing to accept that THEY HAVE IT.
Which wouldn’t make them COVID deniers.
You know, like people diagnosed with some form of illness that can be terminal if not treated early go through different stages before acceptance. Sometimes, by this time, it’s already too late like what happened to Steve Jobs.
Like Jobs, there are lots of people in Asia who have done the same by seeking alternative treatment because they were afraid of simple operations which could have saved their lives.
One would need to be experiencing sufficient fear for them to go through such stages hence I feel that overstating the severity of COVID is unwarranted, nor should it underplayed. People just need the truth.
The consequences, whether intended or not, results in distrust of authorities, which leads to real COVID deniers. Shit like this doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
