Just saw this and thought others might find it interesting. A Bugatti Chiron being driven on the Autobahn at 417kph or 259 mph. Incredible road surface and almost unbelievable how stable the car is. Not sure everyone will agree with them doing it but I guess while you can legally why not?1 point

Those circumstances seem to me to be predicated on anything that happens to fit the confirmation bias of the reader. So what are they reading? It looks to me like "their" information does indeed come from Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and/or by following links to conspiratorial websites and blogs which contain little to no science and where there is science, it is ridiculously mis-understood or mis-interpreted. There are a number of "statistics" in the recent batch of posts that claim deaths or hospital admissions or side effects or whatever are "in fact" much worse than we are being told yet there is no scholarly evidence to back up the claim, falling back to "I know someone..." or worse, just bad maths and bad comprehension which is the seed for much of these types of "facts". OK, for the moment lets assume these "internet facts" are a true representation of the situation and there is a conspiracy of some sort and the Government or big pharma or the illuminati or the Scientology Aliens or the Romulans are covering up the truth. Well if these all powerful forces are covering up the truth, how did "you" (that's a "royal you", it's not aimed at anyone specific) find out about it? Or... it's not being covered up very well BUT only those who hold a similar view have managed to learn about it. Hmmm... OK maybe, but lets not forget this government can't keep a party with a handful of people in attendance quiet, but they are involved in global conspiracy to cull the population or cause mutations or whatever idiotic claim is the current conspiracy du jour and no-one can find any solid proof of this AT ALL. Next we'll be hearing that Covid 19 vaccines made the earth spherical... Someone mentioned that a person can hold different opinions about the same thing. It's called cognitive disonance. There's a lot of that about, and it seems to manifest itself in a particular group, but I digress... Back to the conspiracy. "They" want to see who can be controlled by releasing a virus and a "vaccine" to look for obedience/compliance in the population. The uncontrolled/non-compliant are culled "naturally" so "they" win. But as the anti-vaxxers, to my eyes at least, seem keen to poke two fingers up at the powers that be, science, nature, medicine, history and whatever other types of pie there are in Trivial Pursuits, then surely they should be getting vaccinated so they can continue the fight and call their bluff. Something to think about 'cos it can't be both fake AND fatal... Lets finish with some FACTS. I had my booster last Saturday. Why? Because I've been taking vaccines all my life, for holidays, for work and when I tip up at A+E with another power tool induced wound and they give me a tetanus booster and on occasion anti-biotics to prevent potential infections. NONE of the vaccines I have been given have been as widely distributed and used as Covid 19 vaccines. Several of them have made me feel like crap for a few hours, a bit like Covid 19 where the first one caused me to go to bed early one night and after a good nights sleep I was as right as rain. The second and booster jabs both passed un-noticed. Conversely, anti-biotics always give me a bad stomach for a few days. Anyone who knows anything about how anti-biotics work will know why this is and it has nothing to do with conspiring to keep me in or near the bog for a few days so the government can test what I've been eating and know when I'm indisposed. But I digress... again... By this set of facts, all those who are hesitant now know first hand of a person who has had all three jabs and didn't die, didn't have a heart attack, didn't develop blood clots, is not being tracked by nanobots and judging by the length and tone of this contribution, has lost none of his abilites to be just as annoying as he always was. Proof positive that his mental state is unaltered since taking the vaccine. Apart from referring to himself in the third person. That's new. Please hasten to your keyboards armed with this perfectly acceptable sample of "someone I know on the internet...", and spread the good news...1 point

I spent a time working for the NHS as a Medical Technical officer. I was required to have a series of vaccinations to keep that job. At no point did I consider this an infringement of my rights or a conspiracy to control my mind or whatever other bl**** nonsense the vast majority of anti-vaxers seems to believe - I considered it as a bit of enlightened self interest on the part of the NHS first (don't want to get sued for staff catching or spreading anything), and an element of corporate responsibility towards me second (don't want staff catching anything). I had zero issue with getting it done either as I really didn't want to risk catching what was being vaccinated against. I bet with the same style of FUD campaign I could convince the majority of the current anti-vax proponents to stop driving their cars. Let's face it, the vast majority of car drivers have about as much knowledge of how their conveyance works as most of us do about how medicine works. A few finely crafted sentences of the unknowns, potential problems and a few random test cases is all it takes. Throw in some b*****k* about having your freedom infringed and the righteous indignation takes over, what little critical thinking capacity a person may have had now thoroughly subsumed by rage. No guarantees in life I'm afraid, all you can do is play the odds. I'm liking the odds of getting vaccinated, and I'll always believe cock-up over conspiracy. YMMV1 point
