Bill, thankfully there are many more who have already quietly awakened and are voting with their feet by not getting boosted and resisting the vax for their children. They just won’t go public due to peer or work pressure or just deciding to avoid the hassle of being ridiculed openly and irrationally, which is wearing. The progress is encouraging among family and friends when they are not mocked or argumentatively confronted by our side. “Wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove” works better than disdain in my experience.
Honestly I think it's mostly a personal quality. Either someone is a truth-seeker, or they are inclined to believe whatever they're told by "authorities".
I do think people can change their positions, it just often happens only after something shocking shakes them out of their complacency.
I've noticed a lot of older people are more prone to believing the Current Thing because they watch television and believe it's gospel truth. They grew up in times when (I think) it was more possible to trust "authorities". And they may not be aware of or comfortable with alternate ways of seeking information.
But again, it's a personal bent. I've met some very lovely elderly people who thought and investigated for themselves and saw through the covid fraud.
People don’t like to admit they were duped, because esp for the covidiots, THEY were the “intelligent” ones, “following the science” dontcha know. And calling us idiots at the same time for pointing out that it wasn’t actually “science” they were foolishly following, but propaganda.
Frankly, I don’t give a flying “f” what someone believes, says, does if it’s legal & they’re of age of consent. You do you. But I get to do me, too, w/out interference from you, & w/out being FORCED to believe, say or do what you believe, say & do. If you’re gay or tranny, I don’t care until you not only expect me to acknowledge it but CELEBRATE it. If you want to shoot yourself up w/ poison jabs infinitum, have at it but you don’t get to force me to do so just because you are.
I just want to be left alone & that just doesn’t seem to be on the agenda in this terrible time through which we are living.
Based on history, I think They will co-opt the narrative rebuttal and still manage to keep people controlled by making them think that although the gene jab mandates were a mistake (so forgive Us already, eh?), nothing else is. So, status quo on water fluoridation, stratospheric particle injection a.k.a. chemtrails, vaccines and vaccinations in general, current dietary standards, medical treatment protocols, and all current and future public health measures including test-trace-surveil and digital health records for vaccines tied to your other digital ID and citizenship.
Im in communist Chinada🇨🇦and since our internet could soon be stripped of a means to disseminate the truth, ive taken to place highway overpass signs that the truthseekers, the truckers, love to see while driving for us, enjoy the gratitude, and hopefully get more folks to question the BS swirling around them on the evil CBC, CTV, CP24(Bell) etc etc. Just doing my part, cuz my activism is the rent i pay for 60 good years in a beautiful country. Sad to see it go without a fight.
There is a concerning percentage of people who actually stopped thinking. The same percentage who eat crap because they were told is good for them. The same percentage who trust Medicare/Medicaid/doctors for their wellbeing. The same ones who are on more than 20 prescription drugs because otherwise “cannot function”. They do not even think that their life and their health is in their hands and life and relationships with other humans can be different than the stereotype they already accepted.
The key is that all the 'undecideds' flow one way. I've heard story after story of people who used to be enthusiastic about the jabs but aren't anymore -- meanwhile I've not heard a single story of an 'anti-vaxxer' suddenly thinking the jabs are safe.
"Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many are there who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 17:14-14
Our age is crowded with distractions and traps that keep us stuck in the "settled science... the arc of history... " and the Current Thing; an agreed-upon narrative.
Very few people want to pay the true price for freedom, liberty, and eternal life in joy. It has always been so.
I think people are too emotionally fragile, especially after the COVID fumblefest, to want anything except validation. As the age of information fully transitions to the age of activism [been warming up for about fifteen years, IMO], an effort to fully destabilize perception and the possibilities allowed by awareness is very convenient to every established/invested interest.
As far as the current thing: inclusion is one way to avoid awareness of self and deficiency, perhaps the easiest and almost certainly the least productive, leaving all those who make such an effort little more than types, and while I hate myself for saying it, I don't know how a "type" can ever be a person, that sort of deindividuation/dehumanization present in all of our social problems.
Yes, we are growing quicker than they are, but that is just how math works. We are so few that each and every one who joins us is a huge increase, while they are so many that it takes many new “recruits” to add significantly to them.
The only that seems like it might work is an attitude adjustment wrench...up side the head.

Great post, Bill! Unfortunately, many are being led astray. I have friends and family members that think I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist, if I mention vaccine passports, CBDC's, ESG scores, Smart Cities, etc. I've had talks where I can get friends to acknowledge these exist, only to have them say, "well, there is nothing you and I can do about it, so we might as well enjoy our lives, the best we can." I can see the appeal of that statement. Sometimes, I wish I didn't know so much about what's really going on and could just enjoy life like everything is great.
Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a war and people don't even know it. Eventually, they will be casualties of this war if they don't atleast know it exists. There is a major spiritual battle brewing. We are called to be "wise as serpents" and "harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). Once a society is afraid to speak the truth and starts censoring itself, then unless something changes, that society is doomed. The writing, "First They Came" by German pastor Martin Niemoller comes to mind:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Let the record show, that this article was 398 words. It took me about eight minutes to write.
I mention this only because my current article is already at about 13,980 words and has taken me months of work. But I CAN write "one-minute" reads.

Or trick them into supporting the vaxx injured as the current thing.

‘Come up with strategies that would get this figure to at least 49 percent of the population.’
Free frontal lobotomies.

The problem is that the Current Thingers are so far down the Rabbit Hole they can’t make a U Turn!!
