Is it just cognitive dissonance that prevents people from acknowledging shit like this? Too horrifying to accept? Too difficult to understand how Pfizer could get away with it?
“It can’t be true! The government and regulatory bodies would stop it! The BBC would report on it! People within Pfizer would speak out! It must be a freak coincidence!”.
Is it not clear by now that government/regulatory bodies have been hugely corrupted and captured? That the media is extremely selective and biased? That scientists and experts aren't saints? They're human. They’re prone to all the foibles that all humans are prone to. Susceptibility to groupthink, ego, careerism, etc. Some are decent. Many aren’t. They’re not the saints that the anti-religion “I believe in science” folks ironically assume that they are. More than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party!
Don’t we know from history - eg in Nazi Germany, the run up to the Iraq War, etc - that people generally don’t speak out?
