Pretty much. It's why I stand by my statement that the right literally does not believe anything.

Why should political interest enforce beliefs? If you believe something that others see as objectively false, wouldn't the safer path to be non-enforcement?

You say all that as if I'm not in favor of the vaccine. I'm saying I absolutely believe it has helped me, but I'm also saying there certainly could be other factors that has helped me get to the point where Covid doesn't seem to have any affect on me anymore. It's true of any vaccine, I absolutely believe they work, but I also know the placebo effect is real as well, and I've always believed the two can be working together, vaccines work, and when we truly believe they work, it in turn gives them strength in doing what they're meant to do.

nope, thats fake science, only the vaccine works... thats how denial works right?

Yeeeeeep. Nothing is more embarrassing than a political ideology founded on vibes and virtue signalling.

You're seriously asking me how denial works? I mean if you want to deny the placebo effect, have at it, wouldn't surprise me to see vaccine deniers to dismiss other proven science.

no no i was referring to natural protection, also do you seriously not know the definition of irony? saying things now that people said years ago as a fact, but then immediately going back to mkultra programming with " vaccine denier" you bought into a cult, grow up and accept it.

I wouldn't consider it ironic that vaccine deniers would decide that the placebo effect isn't real either. Definitely seems in line with their mentality. It's like how it doesn't surprise me when people that think 9/11 was entirely an inside job also turn out to think the moon landing was fake or that the earth is flat.

i never said the placebo effect isnt real, you didnt answer my question, whats the world for that again? also, thats a weird back handed compliment, you call them a denier, which means they didnt buy into a cult, thats a nice thing to do, then magically, try to make a dig at them., there are people you can talk to, dont project your self hatred.

No I know you weren't saying you don't personally think it isn't real. Was very evident that you were just making fun of vaccine deniers. You just point to a proven science and said, 'that's fake science' in regard to the placebo effect and that's how denial works, yes.

You literally said "nope, thats fake science, only the vaccine works... thats how denial works right?" in regard to my post saying that the placebo effect is almost certainly also at play. And I know you must be smart enough to know the placebo effect is very real, so it was evident that you were just taking shots at those that turn down the science because they did their own research or whatever lol.

When the other day? Sorry didn't go back to see who all was debating with me then. I honestly didn't realize you were genuinely arguing against the vaccine just now, you genuinely could have fooled me in to thinking you were mocking the mentality of vaccine deniers.
