I have noticed that a surreal number of Canadians just absorb what the media tells them, and that is the end of the story. True believers in government that cares about them - it's quite scary how low info they really are. The easy life (relative to world reality) has truly made them sitting ducks for marketing campaigns.

My suspicion - somewhat backed up by data here - is that wealth seems to inflame this condition, and poverty to alleviate it...

The innate common sense of the common man - less concerned with the approval of others in their circle. They are more used to being "unapproved" by the "intelligentsia" anyway due to their "lower" status. More likely to have been forced out into the grocery and trades work, where they believed their own eyes and ears (the lack of family and coworkers succumbing) rather than the alternate universe of the tv pandemic. More face to face communication between themselves on a daily basis rather than hiding from a ghost on Zoom. Just some thoughts.

I think it’s like insider trading. They bought the Kool Aid early and keep dollar cost averaging.

Perhaps it was their hired help who live with them and not the wealthy people???

Dunno - I just looked at double booster distribution for city of Toronto and highest rates of double boosting correspond to wealthiest neighbourhoods. Mind you, numbers are much lower than for first and second “primary series,” even in wealthiest neighbourhoods

Then I will stick to my first comment that they are probably invested and doubles down on the Kool Aid. Let’s hope the side effect profile of the bivalent booster is less than the side effects from the artificial food coloring in Kool Aid ☠️
