Generally speaking, COVID has reached maximum narrative and bromide dispersion and at this point it's rather clear to me that there is no persuasion or cajoling on any level whatsoever—at least of the kind where someone admits I exposed them to new information they were unaware of and changed their mind accordingly—that's worth the effort. They have "The Science," you see, invoked in the same manner religious zealots invoke "The Word." There is only science. "The Science" is euphemism for "whatever it is that I believe, even by faith alone."
