https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/hea-hea0000586.pdf “Results: In order of magnitude, antivaccination attitudes were highest among those who (a) were high in conspiratorial thinking, (b) were high in reactance, (c) reported high levels of disgust toward blood and needles, and (d) had strong individualistic/hierarchical worldviews. In contrast, demographic variables (including education) accounted for nonsignificant or trivial levels of variance.”

Poor kid.
I always thought this virus would kill all the dumb people but its tragic when kids get caught up in stupidity

Like everything - money; these ‘influencers’ get paid every time some dipstick clicks on their site. The more outrageous the clickbait, the more clicks=bucks. Simple really if you have no honor.
We are among the smartest elites here, doctors, pilots, radiologist, successful business men to mention a few.. No politicians? then you have the wannabe..architects
I was talking to one of my work mates in Melbourne yesterday and he has complied with and agreed with the lockdown situation in VIC but yesterday he was very despondent, mainly for his two girls who face another school holiday in lockdown and he said it is starting to affect their mental health. Now I hate that term 'mental health' because all of the dickhead footballers are using it as an excuse for diabolical behaviour, and sruggies use it to reduce their penalties when caught, plus I live with a CNC mental health nurse who knows exactly when people are genuine mental health cases. My friend says that although he accepted Andrews had few options these lockdowns are now affecting his two girls and is worried about their state of mind and he is not a person to worry unnecessarily so it must be getting pretty bad for the less fragile. In QLD, SA and WA we wouldn't even know about COVID if it wasn't for mask wearing because our restrictions have been minimal but if we had the restriction VIC has had and now NSW, then we would be going crazy ..... I don't know how you guys are doing it as it got bought to my attention yesterday listening to my mate worry about his girls .... f*** I hope this is over soon for the world's sake, so just get the vaccines you anti-vaxxer tossers, you selfish CLINTS !!!
