A few months after their 16 year old student dies running track, Amherst MA school superintendent admits they will hold a COVID vaccine clinic for students and be paid $2,000 to do so by the state.

It’s well known that smart people have very little common sense. They believe in the system and they can not comprehend that the system is lying to them.
My father, a very intelligent man, who never went to college but graduated high school at 16 used to call people like those you mention in Amherst "Educated Idiots" and in this case "Over Educated Idiots" ... I have seen the same thing... so cocksure of their correctness and so incredibly credulous they are unable to accept the very notion that they could be wrong! Here is something we all should ponder...written 13 years ago by Dr. Marcia Angell, former Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine:
"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” (Dr. Marcia Angell, NY Review of Books, January 15, 2009, “Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption)
Super sad. Berkeley, CA is the same. I happen to work in construction in a town of academics and I can tell you they’re all useless when it comes to anything practical and they all have absolute belief in the state. I guess they get paid to not see reality, so better not be able to find it even if it’s hitting you in the face.
These people absolutely have no shame. I can’t believe this sort of incentive is STILL going on. Is $75 worth your life??? I mean, wow! I know $75 is a lot of money when you’re 15 years old, but still. Are the parents simply not involved? Maybe they don’t care.
They have not a doubt in their minds. All the serious people know that Pfizer has never told a lie, never committed fraud, and always places the health and safety of the American people before all else to include any thought of profits. Pfizer's motto is people before profits and that is why Scott Gottlieb now works there. Just giving back to society. Strange though how you have to bribe people to get the shot.
This is a strange dichotomy because I know both over educated types. Highly skeptical and full on Kool-Aid drinkers. I think the true difference is a degree of humility and willingness to be open to learning new things, thinking critically. And if needed admit an error. Problem is the error here is of such a magnitude many can’t face it. I recall a study from CMU in Pittsburgh that high school educated and PhD educated were most skeptical with something like 25% of the PhD folks being skeptical from there survey. I’m a PhD and in my circle of over educated folks I’m one of only two I know who are openly skeptics. The others are all committed, since they are University faculty/research people. It’s a shame.
We are all in disbelief that well educated people cannot understand the basic evidence that the vaccine has no benefit and all risk. My explanation is the fear of not following the direction of the herd. This herd fear may be analogous to not following authorities edicts no matter the absurdity, logic or consequences. This fear/behavior may be impossible to overcome. However, the herd is changing direction from blind faith in the vaccine safety to one of fear of it. When the herd changes its object of fear then all those in it will change direction together. The decision of risk/benefit is not an individual decision but a herd decision. We must ensure the herd does not move in the wrong direction again.
"Naturally, the educated man does not believe in propaganda. He shrugs and is convinced that propaganda has no effect on him. This is, in fact, one of his great weaknesses, and propagandists are well aware that in order to reach someone, one must first convince him that propaganda is ineffectual and not very clever. Because he is convinced of his own superiority, the intellectual is much more vulnerable than anybody else to this maneuver"

Never have I seen such ill considered actions by so many with a tiny bit of administerial power. How many more students need to lose their lives or health to this monstrosity of an injection before pinhead administrators and decision makers realize the horror of what they have done?

Words cannot describe the loathing I have for these criminals

IN SPADES Dr. Angell...IN SPADES.......
Will these vaccinated MDs and PhDs stll be with us a few years from now? I sure hope so but I am not totally sure

A case study of Street Smarts trumping Book Smarts.
Saw it in school a lot...A students with zero common sense. So bright but not wise enough to realize how stupid they act.

That's not "overeducated" it's <it>indoctrinated</it>.
It's always the "good, overeducated" folks, I find, don't you?

I know the town well. It's as if it had gone through a psychotic break. People have completely lost their minds to the psyop.
