It is particularly galling when people dismiss things as "fake," simply because they don't understand them, don't want to understand them, and therefore want them to be untrue, so their fragile egos don't have to accept their own limitations (e.g. correctable ignorance, or incorrectable lack of ability) or poor choices (e.g. choosing to embrace ignorance, or embrace the lies of demagogue). Fucking snowflakes.
Yoga can leave you injured, psychotic and a Hindu, Christian groups claim | Alabama | The Guardian
This is just piss-your-pants laughable. My faith in the intelligence of my fellow humans, which was never that strong, has be totally exploded this past few years. It just keeps getting worse, too.

Whenever someone says
"Oh, yeah? Well, they're inflating the COVID death numbers! You can't trust them!"
I reply:
"COVID has killed people. Isn't that ONE too many?" *
Meanwhile, the US is quickly approaching SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND deaths from COVID-fucking-19. WTF is wrong with people??

* And if I really need to beat them over the head, I continue with "Do you really even care about human life?"

@Samuel Smith , I think you are on to something - but maybe more like USAmericans each think they are each individually the most specialist people, and everyone else should die.

Toxic individualism may play a part in this as well. Notice how most preppers stock up on guns and food. If disaster strikes, the guns will run out of ammo, the food will be consumed, and then they are left with nothing. But those that cultivate skills and friendships will never run out because that is what makes society possible.
Since the same people control governments I don't think they will make something as simple as radical wealth taxes possible.

W.R.T. to the J&J vaccine blood clot issue 2 things can be true at the same time. It can be proper protocol to briefly pause *with proper messaging and media not fucking it up* to investigate and the apparent risk is much lower than other behaviors/medications so it's no big deal
