People with extremist views less able to do complex mental tasks, research suggests..

Researchers from the University of Cambridge sought to evaluate whether cognitive disposition – differences in how information is perceived and processed – sculpt ideological world-views such as political, nationalistic and dogmatic beliefs, beyond the impact of traditional demographic factors like age, race and gender.

was wondering where you sourced this as (altho maybe true), it flies at odds with what he said on the Andrew Marr show yesterday - a small section quoted here: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/sage ... 20636.html

...just back from Epsom Racecourse where I received an AstraZeneca Covid-19 jab - very efficient service - received an invite on Saturday morning and landed a 'fastest finger' as I'd booked for 13:10 today within 30 seconds

Thought I'd better book for Monday in case I feel rough for a few days, and if so, should be OK by the weekend

Yes, he also confirmed on the Andrew Marr Show that the vaccine does indeed contain the Bill Gates mind-controlling microchip.

The unrealistic conspiracy theories like flat earth and mind control vaccines are either believed by people that are nuts or fabricated to gaslight the critical thinkers/sceptics/vaccine hesistant and put them into the same category as the far fetched conspiracy theorists. That means the general public start to associate anyone who is vaccine cautious (due to potential long term health side effects) with being nuts because they must also believe that the earth is flat.

Like someone linked above nothing is black and white. I think it's perfectly reasonable to be sceptical of the irrational lockdown logic and taking a rushed vaccine when you weigh up all the pros and cons, chance of dying without it etc. If the survival rate was under 90% amongst my age group I would be much more inclined to avoid the virus and take a vaccine

But you said the vaccine contains a mind-controlling chip that will make you lose all your money on Betfair?

There's a world of difference between being cautious about having a liquid injected into you and beliving everybody in the world is conspiring against you or that a mind-controlling chip that only exists in science fiction is contained in a vaccine.

There's also the issue of thinking about other people. Just because you're relatively safe, you need to think of the older and more vulnerable people.

That is exactly right

Six of one, half a dozen of another. There's no golden bullet so you'll always find flaws in any solution but the flu doesn't cause pneumonia to the extent that covid does.

...some people want to believe all sorts of things - who cares, let them - we're not short of sane people on this earth so if a few million go 'Waco' it doesn't really matter.

Let them believe their bs, like these Trump betting losers:

Traffic was backed up left right and centre around there on Friday when I went past, looked quiet Sat & Sun

Merseyside Police was forced to clarify that “being offensive is not an offence” after a local policing team shared an “incorrect” statement stating the opposite on the side of a van in Wirral.

Look at the clowns, they don't even know their own laws.

You'd have thought they might have better things to do, like giving people fines for sitting on a park bench, important stuff like that!
