It never sounded crazy if you decided to evaluate the evidence yourself and use your own brain to think about the world around you instead of outsourcing your critical thinking to sleazy institutions.
The crazies are those who think something can't be true unless CNN says it is or anything that the New York Times declares false must absolutely be false. The number of lies emitted from politicians, mega tech companies censorship, the CDC/WHO, and the media during Covid-19 is astounding.
That's just like the, shoot, I can't even remember who or where but I've seen it posted around a few times now but basically some smart dude in the medical-something field said that the people who aren't rushing to get the vaccines and the people who would wear masks but not everywhere all the time were smart enough to read up on it, actually understand what they were reading, and then told everyone what to go do with themselves (and amazingly have the lowest rates of COVID infections). And now that Moderna is using the came COVID vaccine technology to make flu and HIV vaccines, it makes the "you are the trials for COVID vaccines" people look smarter.
Yes, all the "crazies" said this back in the day. Doesn't sound so crazy now.
