The net effect of the vaccination-campaign has largely been what dr Tegnell and others like him warned about:

Those already skeptical now refuse /everything/, having been pushed so hard and so far they won't even vaccinate using the older proven vaccines - the trust is eradicated and has been replaced with prejudging borderline paranoia. "How am I to know what's actually in the syringe?" is the sentiment there.

Those trusting but also actively thinking are now not so much refusing boosters but simply ignore them. My brother is such a one; initially trusted the state's information because they don't usually lie about medications. Thanks to info I've forwarded to him and his own emipirical observations he's growing ever more skeptical of recommended childhood vaccines too.

And then there's that group of people who believe harder and stronger, the more evidence they see that there's no scientific/clinical/empirical support for masking, distancing, house arrests, curfews, or vaccines. They instead do all of those things harder and more, and more and more public - aggressively so - as if that would change the actual facts.

I'd say completely without any real source or measurement that it's a 15-70-15 divide, and it is curious: the higher the education, income and intelligence, the greater the probability that the person is in the "Believer"-camp. Possibly because that group is the one comprised of people with the most invested in the current system.

(I think it's so, seeing as the True Believer-group has a near 100% overlap with people thinking US nuclear weapons on swedish soil is good.)

You're, of course, correct for point out the net consequence of these shenanigans.

I'm unsure about the relative shares of the divide, but I'm certain that the higher education/job profile/social status segments are more fervently in the believer camp, if only because of the perceived and real status/credibility losses they'd incur for having to admit that they erred.

This is, I think, one of the core features of that camp followers' inability to admit their past mistakes: not only are some professions (doctors, for instance) over-represented in this camp, but there's also the notion of 'if they lied about something like this for that long, what else (e.g., Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, EU/NATO) and how far back (apart from the Gulf Wars, Vietnam, Korea) would these lies extend; of the latter, it's esp. the many lies about the two world wards that all sides--victors and defeated alike--are peddling that's probably the most dangerous ones for the present.

Totally agree. The push to create injections as the "NEW" disease treatment protocol is not going away! https://thomasabraunrph.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/139816215?referrer=%2Fpublish%2Fhome%3Futm_source%3Duser-menu
