With all kinds of headlines like these coming to us each day and demonstrating that lives are being lost to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is inconceivable that anyone would be unwilling to take self protective measures.
Also, why does an entertainer like Nicki Minaj with no medical credentials whatever to my knowledge deserve any credence by those who don't "trust" sources who are medically trained and knowledgeable?
I also fail to understand the seemingly endless stream of falsehoods being generated about the pandemic itself and about vaccinations. The required level of imagination defies rational explanation. Are such persons imisinformed? Are such persons maladjusted? Are such persons misanthropic? Are such persons malicious? Are such persons mad?
I simply do NOT know.
Maybe the issue is better clarified by a couple of cartoons I came across. Please see:
