They can’t be this stupid

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

They can’t be this stupid. Think about it. Anti-maskers, Anti-vaxxers, COVID-iots, etc. They can’t all be so stupid. What is being asked of us all is prescribed by experts from pertinent disciplines; immunology, virology, infectious disease and the like. That prescription is meant to prevent disease and death by that disease.

What’s being asked of us is that we take very simple precautions; wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your distance, get your jabs. What’s being asked of us is that we preserve our own life and the lives of our own. Refusing to comply with the recommendations of medical experts is not a just an ignorant choice.

It is something more than ignorance. It is something that over-rides the inherent compunction to save one’s own life. That’s not just stupidity or a horrific failure of sound judgment. That’s insanity.
