By "SAVANT", I mean "Sorry Anti Vaxxer And No Transplant." There are people who face certain death if they don't get an organ transplant. They're told they cannot get the organ transplant they desperately need unless they get vaccinated against covid first. They refuse to get the covid vaccine because it's not 100% safe.
OPTION 1: Vaccine: 99.9% safe
OPTION 2: No vaccine = no transplant: 0% safe
Anti-vaxxer: "I'll go with Option 2 because Option 1 is not 100% safe!"
Can anyone understand this "thinking"???? If you can, please explain it to me.
It's because they don't want to admit that they're not willing to jump through all the hoops required to be placed on the transplant list, so in order to save face, and appear like they're standing up for freedom and against medical tyranny they blame it on the latest added vaccine without bothering to mention all the other required vaccines. They couldn't garner publicity, money donations, or the violent threats to hospitals from their frothing FB followers if they just admitted they were lazy ass cowards.
Here is a modified version of my recent analogy about covidiot savants. Do they understand the choices they're making???
I *still* don’t understand either, except that the social media algorithms are designed to reinforce preconceived ideas, regardless of merit. It seems (to me) most would defer to their doctors’ expert advice.
Yet - this site exists because….
I think it’s multiple things. First is their cognitive dissonance. They have to reject evidence they were wrong. So they cannot be wrong about the vaccine safety. They must continue that thinking or else all of their suffering is worthless. Also this bleeds into self identity now. So many have planted their flags that they have to stick with it for their cult membership to remain intact. And, third, many are fundraising off of this and hope to circumvent the system by getting enough $ to go elsewhere for transplants. I am sure some have even vaccinated and are just grifting.
