Why do people believe the official narrative?

Why does anyone believe what they believe? Is what they believe actually demonstrated in reality, or is it not? In most cases, the things people accept as true come from what they are told is true from the authorities that surround us. This can be from the government authorities, or other authorities in various governmental institutions such as the justice system, the police or what have you. This can also be from medical authorities, or academic authorities, or scientific authorities.

Right now with the inculcated fear around a coronavirus in the fabrication of a pandemic, there is a lot of belief going around that people have merely accepted as the reality. The authorities speak, and people accept what they say and obey what they're told to do.

Here is a nice little summary of what is currently happening, the current narrative that most people believe in because they were told this was the way things were. It comes from Jon Rappaport.

  • SARS-CoV-2 is real. It was discovered and sequenced.
  • The test for the virus is accurate.
  • Every positive test denotes a “case of COVID-19.”
  • The case numbers and death numbers are accurate.
  • Masks, distancing, and lockdowns are necessary, in order to prevent further spread of the virus.
  • The COVID vaccine is safe and effective.
  • People who take the vaccine should nevertheless continue to wear masks and limit their exposure to non-family groups.

Taken individually, each of these points makes a claim that is not demonstrate both. Each of these points is something that isn't true. Yet, they are believed to be true merely because this has become the alleged consensus in society. This is allegedly what the majority of the authorities and express say is the reality.

And the sad thing is the last point. Where even if you take all these things is true, and you believe that the measures you're told to obey actually work, there is a contradiction. They don't adhere together. They are not a cohesive unity of propositions that make sense to describe reality accurately.

If the vaccine was effective at preventing you from becoming infected, if the vaccine was effective at preventing you from spreading the virus and illness, then you wouldn't need to wear a mask that is completely useless, you wouldn't need to limit your exposure to others, you wouldn't need to isolate yourself at home.

I don't think too hard about it. Just do what you're told.

Another way of saying it is this way:

  • Dont see your grandparents.
  • Isolate in your home.
  • Obey lockdowns and be out of work.
  • Obey curfews.
  • Wear a mask.
  • Get the shot.
  • Keep doing the previous things.

Totally makes sense. Blind obedience for the win. Enjoy.
