I have no idea. But I think part of the problem here is a sort of data fatigue. There is mountains of evidence of harms of the vax and also the deadly treatment protocols. More arrives every day but each new data point has exactly the same effect as the last one: none.

It's clear that most of the people remaining on jabs good island are impervious to data and reasoning. So it's easy to rationalize lazy, emotional, sometimes deceptive or exaggerated arguments because all the people who would be swayed by good analysis already are in our camp, but maybe there are some who can be swayed by these other approaches.

Data fatigue? I was at his disposal for 20 months and would walk through any data analysis he asked about. He looked for any excuse not to learn about it, like "You didn't start your article with a summary". I've taught thousands of teenagers and college students and almost zero of them were ever that lazy about important topics.

Measure twice, cut once. Less energy spent. He's a tech CEO, and he damn well knows this principle.

I meant more that he is moving more towards spectacle and emotion than data because there's already piles of data being ignored.

Your argument, after you boiled it down, is a single slide and very compelling. I think he has just left principle behind in favor of spectacle. Maybe something to do with the tap on the shoulder?
