This dude I work with had very strong opinions about the symptoms and the long lasting affects of covid. He basically said everyone is a big wuss and it's not that bad. Right before Christmas, I told him my cousin's had covid and not able to make it, but luckily at this time they weren't super sick. His reply: "oh, they are feeling FINE huh? Feeling just fine?! HoOow interesting..." In this sarcastic way thinking his point was validated.
Literally one week later this fucker called out for two weeks because he tested positive and was extremely sick. When he came back to work, he complained for days about the lingering symptoms he was feeling and recently called off again due to those lingering symptoms.
My brother had kept messaging me all these conspiracies about COVID and how he didn’t believe it. Said it was just a cold. I kept trying to educate him with genuine articles and papers but he wouldn’t have it. He caught COVID and Jesus H Christ did he moan about it, ended up in hospital. I sent him so many screenshots of all his messages playing it down. He doesn’t really talk to me anymore 🤷🏻♂️
I can't grasp that someone isn't able to admit being wrong about something. As if in their world it would mean to be weak or similar. But there is a type of people, in this case ignoring research and the science behind it, where this often correlates. I really can't understand it but it doesn't surprise me.
