It may seem like a surefire way to get things up, but all it will do is slow them down. It sounds like they’re giving us the runaround. ---

I was thinking this was more referencing the mark of Cain rather than the mark of the Beast. ---

Meh! If you want to get the unvaccinated to become vaccinated, just start a rumor that only those with a legit vaccination card will be permitted to vote. ---

I think another way to up the vaccination rate is to spread the rumor that Joe Biden and his evil minions “The Squad”, along with George Soros are plotting to prevent good honest Republicans from getting the miracle cure for Covid. _They don’t want you to have it!_ Republicans will have to be sneaky. They’ll have to go against _what Biden wants_ and sneak down to their local vaccination clinic and get the shot. THAT will show them government types that NOBODY can tell a good Republican what they can’t have! ---

I think what we need is get this appended to the “bioweapon from China” CT: “They were so sure us Republicans would be too dumb to take the vaccine and be the ones dying, but we’ll show them. We’ll be at 100% vax in a month! That’ll show China!” ---

We’ll be at 100% vax in a month! That’ll show China!” - I think that both these suggestions are quite good–and possibly the only way to get right-wingers motivated to get the shot (secretly in some cases, openly “to show them \_\_\_\_\_!” in others). Where I’m scratching my head is how these approaches could be employed by those running public service campaigns. How does a self-respecting public-health professional sign off on an ad that says _Show Them Evil Chineemen that You Won’t Let Them Win!_ or the like??? The problem is that when dealing with low-IQ people who have embraced a delusional version of reality, you have to enter their world of lies in order to reach them. And if you do—you are now a liar, yourself. It’s a tough one. ---

Beware that, when fighting ignorance, you yourself do not become ignorant… For when you gaze long into the abyss between someone’s ears, the abyss gazes also into you. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > How does a self-respecting public-health professional sign off on an ad that says _Show Them Evil Chineemen that You Won’t Let Them Win!_ or the like??? You don’t do ads. You emulate the Russians, and pay youtube, twitter, snapchat, facebook and other media influencers to spread the word. You pay them under the table via intermediaries and third party companies in other countries. ---

You pay them under the table via intermediaries and third party companies in other countries. - That makes sense. Presumably, Putin’s people would busily be working to counter all these measures, given that they’d like to see as few Americans vaccinated as possible. But using their methods as a template _is_ quite possibly our best chance of reaching the already-propagandized.
