    Most people don’t understand vaccines and being afraid of what you don’t understand is completely reasonable.

    When you have influencers feeding on that fear and making it grow then it becomes an issue.

      “Being afraid of what you don’t understand is completely reasonable”

      No it isn’t… It’s common, but not reasonable, and it’s a big factor in so much bad about humanity. We need to teach people to specifically NOT be afraid of stuff they don’t understand and instead learn more about that those things, and to never have strong opinions (which includes fear) about things they know nothing or little about.

      Add to that we’re constantly being lied to it’s hard to know what the truth is and what isn’t unless you deeply research a topic, and honestly:

            Maybe the AI will be less salty than the foreign actors. If I had to chose, Id go with AI. AI is a product that needs to be reliable if it is to succeed. Foreign actors hate my guts for exsisting.

              AI is programmed by foreign actors. And on top of that it trains you not to think for yourself and believe what you read. It shuts down critical thought and makes you even easier to manipulate.

                AI isn’t programmed its trained. Just look at all the trouble Elon is having trying to red pill grok.

                  And they can choose what data to use to train it. It trains you to rely on it instead of thinking for yourself. Once you rely on it they enshittify and subvert it. It’s dangerous to rely on a source of information solely controlled by a billionaire with ulterior motives.

                  Look at what Google has become. Or the news/media industry. Get your information from trustworthy sources. AI is not.

                    Youre talking about curating massive data sets. If that were so easy we wouldn’t need AI.

                    Just look at the release of the epstein files. All of the resources of the US government and they cant even use Adobe.

                    The truth is, and will always have, a liberal bias.

      Na a bunch of them are actually afraid of the pointy needle.

      Gear of medical debt comes up for some too, but since the covid vaccines were free they had to pretend they weren’t afraid of the needles instead.
