The comment thread below my original tweet is a prime example of exactly the point of it, showcasing the extent of cognitive dissonance and mass formation psychosis, as thousands exclaim 'That's a lie! That's misinformation! That isn't happening!'. Even as the comments also fill with people sharing their personal stories and experiences.
When someone told you that their boyfriend's brother's daughter's friend's mother's aunt died from covid you believed them without question. When someone tells you that their healthy young son suffered a sudden fatal heart attack, you indignantly say 'that's a lie' - why is that?
Asking for a friend.
