Denying something exists does not make it go away

Sometimes I simply don't understand people. Why would anyone deny covid-19 is a serious health risk for millions of people and why would people deny the fact climate change is a real and dangerous thing, mainly caused by us, people?

Do people need to get ill themselves or lose a loved one to covid before they understand their favourite populist or information channel is wrong?

Do people really need to see their house destroyed before they realise climate change is real and the cause of more floods, draughts and tornadoes?

Apparently so because a lot of people are stupid.

If you don't want to believe me or actial scientists in stead of a random stranger who claims she (it's often women who share fake news) has done her 'own' research and 'proofs' her 'own' theory that just happens to float around in the exact same words on thousands of other social media accounts, perhaps you could listen to Elon Musk:


'Yes, but I have a good immune system and can combat all diseases with ease!' 1. That's a very selfish thought because maybe someone that you infect (like you grandmother or a co-worker) might not have such an amazing immune system as you have. 2. If you have such great trust in your immune system, why are you so mortally afraid of a vaccin or of wearing a facemask? 3. Why are you at least as stupid as Herman Cain? Anyone could get seriously ill or even die from the virus. And no, it's not 'just a simple flu.' Only simple people think it is.
