How much of the refusal to admit what has been blindingly obvious is down to ‘cognitive dissonance’?
I have a friend who is a nurse and she decided to give the vaccines to both her children to demonstrate her faith in the vaccines. She believes that if 20yo hadn’t been vaccinated we would all still ‘have’ to be locked down.

How much of the refusal to admit what has been blindingly obvious is down to ‘cognitive dissonance’?
I have a friend who is a nurse and she decided to give the vaccines to both her children to demonstrate her faith in the vaccines. She believes that if 20yo hadn’t been vaccinated we would all still ‘have’ to be locked down.
She is a lovely person and has to believe in what she does. When she talks about vaccines her eyes go shiney
I honestly believe it’s a subconscious psychological response to protect her from moral injury. She just can’t deal with the truth
At the lower levels, yes. But at the public institutional level, cognitive dissonance is not an acceptable excuse. UKHSA, ONS, SAGE, they all had the data and the analytical skills. They chose not to use them in favour of the pre-ordained dogma. And, as for the journalists...
Yes they have the capabilities but have chosen to follow the lies. Out of fear presumably given the level of coercion. A doctor speaking out against mainstream believes risks nearly if not absolutely everything
It’s the lower levels, the masses, that need to be shaken out of this dissonance and face the reality of the insidious project to imprison humanity that we have been subjected to over the past several decades, culminating in the events of the past 2 years. The perpetrators overseeing the plan are readily identifiable, other than a few shadowy figures that stay out of the limelight (Vanguard’s main shareholders no doubt). But the plan has only been able to be enacted by regularity capture, sycophants in high places towing the party line and too few doctors, scientists, journalists and captains of industry prepared to put their head above the parapet for fear of losing their jobs or being scorned at for not being in this together/killing Gran/etc.
To those brave few that have fought for truth, freedom and humanity I offer my humble thanks. You know who you are. Only once the masses have woken up and rejected the creeping authoritarianism of WHO treaties and social credit, etc, will we be in a position to replace the odious, cowardly leaders and their lackeys who have overseen the lies, propaganda and scandal of the scamdemic and the associated policies that mark the descent into technocracy. And they should be replaced with those that have shown honesty, integrity and a willingness to discover and share truth at whatever cost.
If only a whistleblower would come forward from one of the government sources trusted by the people getting vaccinated… It was announced that a fair number of CDC employees remain unvaccinated. Off the top of my head I think it might have been 20% of staff. One wonders whether Dr Walensky is one of them.
You make a very good point: most people who are taken in by the lies have some sort of very obvious emotional affect when they talk about the shots. Like your friend, it might be gushing gratitude for the life-saving technology of vaccines she believes in (like a religion, almost, right?) -- and I have also seen the very strong twisting of facial features into hatred, mocking derision, outrage or dismissal.
All of these emotions are decoupling the logic part of the brain.
Are we able to set our emotions aside as we do our research, even as the dawning horror of what is being done hits us in the gut? I think so. At least, that's how I experience it.... I have a strong stomach for the truth, and I seek truth. Sometimes, I get angry with what I learn, but look at the faces of people as they talk about this COVID madness: the mainstream news people all have very emotional, contorted faces -- to better entrain the viewers into feeling the same emotions as they soak up the information (so obvious, what they are doing). But the censored, "alternative" truth-seeking scientists who are trying to get the word out are not putting out false emotions at all - it's so easy to tell who is being genuine and who is being manipulative.
I see the same echoes in the people I come into contact with -- I can tell the ones who watch mainstream TV because they mimic the same, contrived emotions. You can tell who is brainwashed. For some, it is almost like yes, a trigger word activates them into the emotions. It's not coming from them -- but like an alien takes over their mind and body.
I believe people who have not been hypnotized may have a constellation of traits, including some of the following:
- an inquisitive mind, curious and with high pattern recognition, wanting things to "make sense." This is a combination of open-minded and skeptical.
- less motivated by wanting to align with a group for the sake of relationships/acceptance. This may be a natural trait or may be because of past ostracism/not fitting in, some bullying, etc. that led to more comfort in being alone, or going to the beat of a different drummer, etc. Or maybe have always been comfortable in your own skin, not needing acceptance of the crowd.
- enjoyment of solving complex puzzles and, in fact, thriving in complex environments and seeking them out, as opposed to shutting out the uncomfortable details to take the easier or less stressful route of following scripts and protocols laid out by others.
That's a short list and just a start. Can you think of any other traits to include on the list?
Good list. I fit all three. Part of my skepticism is a distrust of government. Could be why we find more on the left (eg Democratic Party calls itself “the party of government “) buying in to jabs and masks while right/ libertarian types haven’t as much. Even amongst my conservative friends, the mainstream Republican types have mostly gotten jabbed while the tea party/ MAGA types have not. It’s so clear a pattern related to trust in government, I could graph it!
One huge surprise to me actually has to do with the organic/natural foods store where I have shopped for years. I have been independent, health conscious, anti-GMO, anti-Government control of individuals, anti-groupthink, and I assumed that people who shopped at this store were similarly-minded, because many of us had tried conventional medicine and it had failed us, so we turned to herbals, clean food, etc.
Boy, was I wrong! This store is as lefty as they come! Very rigid with the mask enforcement but with a "hey guys we are all in this together, and do the right thing and put on your mask" GENTLE pressure, and everyone conformed without a peep. The most scared bunch of social distancers, darting in and out to grab the veggie, being very sure to politely wait your turn so you don't get in anyone's 6-foot space.
So weird to me that all of these people who would never put a gluten or a GMO in their body would leap at the chance to jab themselves as many times as possible, as soon as they could get an appointment. This is the same crowd who now prevents me from attending the lovely choral and instrumental concerts I always used to enjoy. Now you have to prove you've been boosted, or forget about it.
So true! Much of the anti- GMO crowd just lined up to turn themselves into GMOs! You’d think the organic, natural health types would reject the jab-but no! Shocking what we have learned about who certain people really are.
I live in rural isolation, gave my supplies delivered but I am hearing reports that this is exactly the case here in NZ. It is difficult to understand.
Yes. Hello. It’s not easy to reply to the ‘you’. But, thank you for asking. At a personal level, I am rural, isolated, so atm able to avoid the more acute social ramifications of this ongoing nightmare. However, in NZ, the media is in power. Another recent report by Guy Hatchard provides insight. https://hatchardreport.com/why-the-rest-of-the-world-should-be-very-concerned-about-new-zealand/
Guy H has diligently tracked the adverse events data overtime since vaccine rollout and remains a strong committed voice in a the inaccessible public arena. The data revelations are not pretty, not at all, and ignored. Anecdotally, there are both high profile and also close family ‘events’ occurring as per global reports, diligently portrayed as coincidental.
The governing party, Labour, has close ties with the Otago university which I understand has a sense of excitement around vaccines and all things genetic, given their involvement in CRISPR technology.
The more informed resistance amongst us has a sense that ‘we’ are in line to be a ‘showcase’ for that 100% fully vaccinated ideal society, so the the control group is feeling more than vulnerable.
Today’s jolly annual budget for NZ, plans to bankroll health like never before, with generous input to massive IT health data upgrades etc etc.The three week camp protest in March 2022 in front of our only parliament was met with silence and media frenzy only when the police created chaos. The acquiescent public has only disdain for the protestors. All very disheartening and sad. But threads of clever people are strong and united. So, possibly, the true NZ may one day soon find a voice before it’s too late for our young people.
What I don’t get is doctors and nurses buying into the jabs. Unlike most, they have scientific training and also see the jab injuries and deaths first hand. Why do I know all the dangers when I’m just a gab and Substack reader with no science background?
I'm not claiming I have the answer, but I suspect it is the underlying traits making them susceptible to going along with the group. This can be a very powerful motivation. As many of us have seen, ostracism and shunning, particularly by friends, colleagues and family members, is extremely painful. How many of us have been shocked that our loved ones could not see through this?
With respect to nurses and doctors, they are for the most part self selecting into a highly dictated framework in which they operate -- the indoctrination through the medical schools is systematic and designed to produce people who reinforce the information they have been taught to memorize and regurgitate. That is part of the requirement to be a licensed professional. A few will escape that system and operate more independently, but it is much harder to do so nowadays than it was in the past.
I'm neither a doctor nor a nurse, so I'd love for some of them who have seen through all this to chime in.
My father was a pathologist and he just died in January at aged 97. No Covid or jab- natural death. He grew up in Sweden but immigrated to America in 1949 because he wanted to be a doctor but not practice socialized medicine. He was probably a last of the independent doctors of his day. I was sad that he experienced the passage of Obamacare after all he fought for. He left a mark on me- to distrust government and especially government health care.
We can see similar cognitive dissonance with regard to geo-engineering. Chemtrails have long been in the realm of tin foil hat conspiracy. Yet there’s evidence of their existence above our heads most days. But most people (90/10 Pareto seen in many psychological conformity studies?) ‘see no ships’.
‘The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.’

The mass media & their four horsemen in the tech companies are as bad as the medics.

This is the mass hypnosis people talk about which sounds so ridiculous, but I have seen it in others as you describe.
How have they been hypnotised? And why haven’t we?

Speaking for myself, I don't like being told what I should do.
A nose for Bull & lies.
I wrote about this a while back and the comments provide tons of good stories:

Indoctrinated and brainwashed industrial (for the money mill unit) doctors and nurses simply switch into Zombie robot mode @ work.
