People can’t tell what’s real or fake. Our society is supposed to be more open and accepting, but in reality, it’s more closed off than it’s ever been. We are not tolerant of ideas. Mainly because most people’s ideas aren’t reasoned out, they’re given. It’s an ideology. It’s a belief. They have to uphold what they believe when questioned, which starts an emotional conversation. Which doesn’t go anywhere.

The three pillars of cognitive dissonance are to accept, reject, or ignore.

How did it take this long to become rampant in India?
Certainly one way to impose population control...

Why, after over a year, is India all of sudden dying from Covid? Why didn’t this happen last year when the rest of the world was exposed? Asking for a friend.

I think it’s funny that they’re saying India ( neighbor of China ) is just now going thru an outbreak, not the last year but just now....😆
Anyone else done with this show ?

65 million people live in slums...very 😢sad. So glad that I live in the United States 🇺🇸 and live a sheltered life. I’m going to stop 🛑 complaining about my life and first world 🌎 problems. A lot of people definitely have it a whole lot worse!

May God bless India. I pray for the entire world. May God be with us all ! My sincere condolences to everyone that's lost a loved one due to Covid. In Jesus name i pray that things will get better soon for us all !

Wasn’t it a few months ago India was bragging about the fact that they had the least amount of covid patients?

[gailcotter]

Can you see....it is on to get rid of slums and USA it didn’t affect our homeless.

Mother nature will take care of itself. If there's an overpopulation problem, the population will go down.

Locking down India would be a economical disastor. Look at what effect it has on the richest country in the world.

[ivanfraire]

Man who else feels like COVID will never go away? Time to learn how to live with it!

[judithocasio]

I don't understand, a news caster from India said this was not true, that the video that are being shown are old to cause fear and have a reason to locked down again. If this is true how come Biden has not extend a helping hand, how come its rarely mention in the news. Bless the people of India they are wonderful people. 🙏
