That's not the question. The question is: how did I immediately know that it was nonsense, without even looking it up, while you believed it without question?
It's the same problem where you believed that people would continue taking boosters until 90% of the population had died. See the problem there? Or have you still not learned from your mistakes?
You can't distinguish something that is remotely plausible from absolute nonsense.
His bias is way out of hand, but specifically on the COVID shots, I also assumed a lot more of the population was brainwashed than actually is, I just thought it would be something more like 10-20% have complications ala myocarditis and all those athletes and random celebrities who either died or had heart problems after taking the shot, but from what I remember, he got the 90% because he thought everyone, even right wingers would take the vax willingly
I think there are better explanations for non-booster uptake than 'people are not brainwashed enough', because unfortunately they are. I've had a friend who complained that our money is going to Ukraine (showing that the media failed to brainwash on that score), who also can't wait to take their fourth booster (this was at the beginning of last year), despite being in an age category that is not at risk.
Here's why I thought there would not be. 10-20% would mean that nearly everyone knows multiple people who had serious complications due to the vaccine. That would be very bad for the ruling class. Just look at how much face was lost due to a reported ~ 200 cases in the worst age categories per million.
And they did. Even most right-wingers took the vaccine willingly. By that time, it was obvious that not many more people would take the vaccine. He was specifically talking about the booster. His mistake was not even in grossly overestimating the number of fatalities, it's the he believed that people would continue to take boosters even after large numbers of deaths. As if anyone is stupid enough to take a booster after half the population has already died after taking boosters.
Not as much as a mistake, because he started with the conclusion (he has the delusion that the women want to kill 90% of men), and then worked towards the 'evidence'.
