Yale University study to test “how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions

Ever felt manipulated?

Read on.

Via The Naked Emperor’s newsletter:

You may have naively believed that the fear, pressure and psychological toll of the pandemic caused your friends, family or colleagues to act in an unrecognisable way but it was all carefully planned.

They conducted a study (and I’m sure this wasn’t the only one) to see which pressure points would work best on different parts of the population and then carefully released mountains of propaganda (funded by you) to turn your friends and family against you. This nudging was all done to get you to take a vaccine you decided you didn’t want.

The ethics statement in the study says the experiments conducted were fielded under an exemption granted by the University. It’s not difficult to understand why.

Whether mass vaccination was the only way out of the pandemic or not, behaviourally nudging citizens to guilt each other into taking a novel treatment was not the way a civilised society should have acted.

They wanted you to get angry in order to get vaccinated but they failed. But they wanted you to get angry, so get angry. Get angry that the population was psychologically manipulated to turn on one another. Get angry that your friends and family were nudged into parroting the phrases used in the study to make you feel guilty, stupid or embarrassed.

Get angry that you were socially ostracised and de-invited from events. Get angry that your colleagues made you lose your job.

And if you were one of those who tried to convince someone to get vaccinated, get angry that you were so easily manipulated.

Fight!

Why Anger towards the Unvaccinated was Intentional Psychological Manipulation (The Naked Emperor’s newsletter)

Meanwhile…

…via Steve Kirsch:

If they truly wanted to end vaccine hesitancy, all they have to do is require autopsies if you die within 60 days of vaccination and require the medical examiners to make the required tests to determine vaccine involvement (as doctors Bhakdi and Burkhardt have done) and publish them. Publishing a fraudulent report would be a criminal offence.

This would end the debate.

Or they could simply require all licensed embalmers to check for the telltale clots and make the numbers public. Again, it would be a crime to falsify reports.

Or they could do both.

Why don’t they do this?

I’ll tell you why they don’t do it: They don’t do it because they know the results would be devastating and would immediately halt the vaccine and discredit the FDA, CDC, the entire medical establishment, virtually all members of Congress, and the mainstream media.

Why doesn’t Florida Governor DeSantis require this in Florida? What is he afraid of? Why doesn’t Governor Newsom require this in California? What does he have to fear? DeSantis would be the most likely of any governor to do this. He could be a world hero if he did this.
Nobody wants transparency of the data. They all want to keep you in the dark.

My suggestion isn’t limited to the US. Any public health official anywhere in the world could order this…

Anyone?

    Quelle surprise, people use persuasive messaging to persuade people. Ever hear of marketing, advertising, influencing. This is totally normal, especially when you are dealign with muppets in tin foil hats getting their info from internet experts.

    1. Micko

      Guilt, shame and anger.

      All powerful motivational tools. And yes as you say, all used in marketing. Emotions win over logic any day.

      Except, when I buy a latte, it generally doesn’t have the potential to kill me.

      Where there is risk there must be choice.

      And in the end there was.

      And sure who cares now. You made your choice and I made mine.

      All for nothing really… back to normal now

        1. Mad

          No it’s not K. I remember those ads.
          It was claimed that “a Mars a day” would help you “work, rest and play”. That wasn’t my experience at all.

    2. Termagant

      Right except this isn’t a Consumer Good they’re marketing, it’s an experimental vaccine for which the taxpayer is shelling out billions. Do you understand the distinction?

      1. Nigel

        They’re not advertising it as a consumer good, they’re advertising it as medical treatment for a highly contagious disease.

        1. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

          pity they don’t advertise the fact there’s no liability as much

        2. Termagant

          Somehow I knew Nigel would be on the side of Big Pharma waging psychological war on the populace for massive profit

          1. Nigel

            I’m sorry that the state rolling out medical treatment during a pandemic made Big Pharma a massive profit. Maybe next time we could overthrow capitalism first.

        3. K.Cavan

          Nigel, if there was a deadly pandemic & a cure for it, it would not need to be “advertised”, people would demand it. Advertising is lying, I expect responsible authorities to tell me the truth, not advertise.

          1. Nigel

            People were demanding it. Advertising helped inform people what it was and how to get it. They did tell the truth – that’s why so many people knew how to get it, and got it Most of your arguments are stupid, but this one is very very stupid.

    1. Daisy Chainsaw

      You’ve been psychologically manipulated by Big Potato! Behaviourally nudged into a big dirty feed of chips instead of a salad!

    2. K.Cavan

      Keep your mask in while you eat, ANO. Video it, put it online & send us a link. It’ll go viral.

      1. ANO

        I’m not going to judge your kinks brother but I can’t help you.

        Well, not with THAT one, anyway.

  2. Broadbag

    Where’s his paper on the tactics of the conspiraloons and how they use the same messaging:

    Imagine the fear of turning on your bluetooth device and it detects…something, woo!
    Imagine the shame when you find out Bill Gates controls your left arm!
    Imagine the anger when you turn into a mutant!

    1. SOQ

      What tactics of what conspiraloons? These are governments who employed psychological manipulation techniques to bully and coerce people into doing something they were reluctant or hesitant to do.

      The emerging injury figures are already horrendous- much higher than anything seen in our lifetimes before- all from experimental gene therapies, with no medium or long term safety data- and one company working in tandem with the FDA who tried their best to hide the list of potential injuries for SEVENTY FIVE years.

      How was a doctor supposed to diagnose a vaccine injury when they had no list of potentials to work from? Or was that the intention?

      In the US, lawyers are now openly advertising their services to the vaccine injured. So don’t be coming at us with your conspiracy guff- this is already happening.

      1. Broadbag

        ”What tactics of what conspiraloons” I’ve literally just said what the tactics were, anti-vaxx messages of fear, shame and anger.

        As for the rest of your post you’re just rehashing your usual speculative, already debunked or purely made up fear porn, or ‘conspiracy guff’ as you like to call it.

        1. SOQ

          Yes well in fairness, is past is any indication of future, it will probably take another year before you geniuses realise that there are any vaccine injuries at all. And then will you admit you were wrong? Will you hell- just like before.

          US VAERS, European Medicines Agency and UK Yellow Card vaccine reporting systems are based on verified factual reports, and those criminals- because that is what they are- WILL be brought to justice.

          Your denials do, and will, make frig all difference- especially as you have no clue what you are talking about.

          1. Broadbag

            Yes SOQ, there there SOQ, you’ll be proven right one day, just everybody wait…

            ”you have no clue what you are talking about” from Broadsheet’s own Comical Ali, spreading nonsense in nearly every thread you post in, delicious!

          2. SOQ

            WE have been proven right you clown- it’s just that your brain appears to have a time delay on it.

            Anders Tegnell is a very clever man. If he was so wrong then why has he been given such a top job in WHO?

            Then again, I suspect you don’t even know who he is so- whatever.

          3. Ian - oG

            Do you think we should wait SOQ or should we go out now and take the law into our hands?

            What do you suggest? A lynching? Maybe tie them behind a car like James Byrd Jr. until there is nothing but raw meat?

            Or maybe grow the fupp up and stop with the dangerous rhetoric you dumb a$$ hole.

          4. Broadbag

            SOQ: please have some manners!
            also SOQ: you clown!

            Better to have a time delayed brain than no brain at all, wha?

            ‘”WE have been proven right” Of course you have SOQ, there there, you haven’t wasted the last 2 years of your life on the far side of the looking glass, peering back at distorted figures and seeing conspiracies in the clouds, not at all, you’re a wonderful critical thinker and everyone else is wrong, except for you and your select bunch of often disgraced ‘experts’.

          5. SOQ

            Let’s wait for the rest of the evidence to emerge shall we?

            What we do know at this point is that by withholding the known list of injuries, one manufacturer has already committed fraud.

            And, once that is processed in a court of law, their indemnity becomes null and void because they acted illegally.

            This is the same company who is already in receipt of the biggest criminal fines in history of course. The US ambulance chasers are already warming up.

          6. Daisy Chainsaw

            VAERS is open source and people have literally been posting about developing warewolfism and growing extra limbs, so it’s not reliable… which is why it’s taken as gospel by conspiraloons.

          7. SOQ

            VAERS is a government funded and ran early warning system, where only verified reports are made public and therefore counted.

            The only criticism that can be made is that traditionally, the number of injuries were grossly under reported.

            Try again.

          8. SOQ

            And the same could be said of all the early warning systems- what is you point caller?

            Or do you think that a CBS affiliated privately owned tv station is more impartial than the authorities who run these systems?

            The only certainly is that all three are underreporting the injuries- why you are so keen to defend corrupt big pharma corporations, is a question only you can answer.

          9. Daisy Chainsaw

            The point is that VAERS is unreliable and you don’t have the first clue and are just parrotting crap you find down the danker holes of social media.

  3. Ian - oG

    ”A simple way to end vaccine misinformation immediately.”

    Maybe stop platforming a known liar like Steve Kirsch?

    1. Broadbag

      Truly sad how they’ll lap up any auld poo once it’s posted online by a fellow conspiraloon. If the mainstream media was pushing a pro-Russian angle they’d all have jumped to Ukraine’s defense in an instant.

      1. K.Cavan

        What load of smelly garbage, Broadband. You’re influenced by a bought & paid for MSM, if those corrupt scumbags were touting a pro-Russian line I’d still investigate & make up my own mind, as I’ve just done, anyway. I know this is just the final phase of a war that’s been ongoing since 2014 but that has never appeared in the MSM, so you don’t.
        Your ignorance does not equal my knowledge & I’ve forgotten more about this conflict than you actually know. You’ve only seen half the picture, I’ve seen & heard both sides. The quality of reporting & commentary online is vastly superior to the midwit, lowest common denominator bellowing from the middle-class kids in the MSM, that’s why the MSM is a busted flush, utterly bankrupt, both financially & morally.

        1. SOQ

          Your ignorance does not equal my knowledge-

          Isaac Asimov?

          “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

        2. Broadbag

          @K Cav: ”I’ve forgotten more about this conflict than you actually know.”

          Sounds like you’re going senile old fellow, condolences.

          Considering your own ‘research’ led you to the belief that there was no pandemic and that people were trying to spike you with the dreaded jab, I’ll look elsewhere for a more rational take on the invasion of Ukraine.

          1. SOQ

            You don’t know what ‘spike’ actually means now do you?

            You actually think it is about an injection?

          2. Broadbag

            I do know what it means, but thanks for your concern, have you found your glasses yet Sleepy SOQ?

            ”ALWAYS trying to get one over- so juvenile.” – SOQ, just over an hour ago – SOQ does not do self-awareness…

          3. Broadbag

            If you insist on being wrong yet again, I assume he meant some guff like this:

            https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/people-vaccinated-against-covid-19-cannot-shed-spike-proteins-to-harm-anyone/

            ”In the spring, claims began spreading widely that vaccinated people can “shed” the COVID-19 vaccine and harm those around them. Now, six months later, those false claims have come full circle.

            A viral Oct. 27 blog post reads, “Pfizer Confirms COVID-Vaccinated People Can ‘Shed’ Spike Proteins And Harm The Unvaccinated.” The claim can be traced to an April press release, when the hoax about vaccine shedding was proliferating.”

            I await your apology SOQ, but as per usual you’ll just deflect or run away.

    2. K.Cavan

      Cian, you seem to have failed to understand the actual meaning of Authoritarianism. Here’s a clue, it involves an Authority. You need to consult a dictionary, you’re making a laughing stock of yourself with such confused nonsense.

  4. eamonn

    Nudge? really
    it fells like thumb screws –
    radio on – pressure on
    TV on – pressure on
    online news-pressure on
    newsprint – pressure on
    don’t agree with the official narrative – swivel eyed loon……ratlicker…
    Pick your narrative /story /situation. this would seem to be how it rolls nowadays.
    the sun, however is shining here today, sky is blue and there is a sometime smile under my nose.
    can we disagree without getting all polarised – possibly not.

    1. K.Cavan

      If people have a reasonable, sensible argument, they can present it & explain it, lay it out in an open, transparent manner. If they’re pushing a hidden agenda, they need to resort to propaganda, lies, deceit, hyperbole.
      I know what I’ve witnessed over the last two years.
      If one side is being dishonest, it’s good to be polarised against them.

      1. eamonn

        honesty was a casualty in this whole quagmire a long,long time ago.
        If you managed to witness , without feeling either pressure or downright anger – fair play to you.
        the reasonable argument might end….” these are the facts, insofar as we can ascertain, this is my opinion, good luck forming your own opinion as is your right.”
        authority, it seems, never felt the need to be reasonable.
        the polarisation to which i refer was.is evident in this very comment section – that is what seems unnecessary to me – the divided are the conquered.

    2. SOQ

      I genuinely doubt it. Just look at how the ‘thing’ from media was flipped from CoVid-19 to Ukraine.

      People who were screaming fascist and Nazi at everyone who dared deviate from the official narrative, in a heartbeat are now virtue signalling their support for REAL fascists and the Nazis- while dismissing everyone else as Putin lovers.

      The lack of critical thinking is shocking.

        1. SOQ

          Not a lot of spinning to be doing these days eh Cian? It’s all pretty much sewn up- apart from the court cases of course.

          Still think the vaccines work?

          Have you heard of the new terrorist organisation that’s been formed in the Ukraine? It’s headed up by a fella called Fauci bin Hiden.

  5. wearnicehats

    Speaking of conspiraloons did I miss the follow up post informing readers that Nadal’s breathing pain might just have been caused by his fractured rib?

    Too busy looking for a Belgium 3rd division footballer who was feeling a bit faint maybe

    1. Broadbag

      I saw something on TikTok that said it was due to his vax chip constantly connecting to and disconnecting from the bluetooth on all the phones in the crowd – go away with your nonsensical ‘fractured rib’ theory, I’m a critical thinker me, you can tell because I keep informing people that I’m a critical thinker and I watch stuff on ropey videos on YouTube. Did I mention that I’m a critical thinker?

    2. johnny

      …but,but there is a African American,the first female, in the middle of a supreme court confirmation hearings,making it the RIGHT time, to dust off a racist trope about The VP and drugs…..
      no don’t interrupt the narrative with facts, when there is a old racist smear to promote involving illegal drugs.

    3. Me So Harney

      “might just have been..”

      Yeah, where have you ever seen a retraction over such fuzzy nonsense..

      Gaslighting 101

      1. wearnicehats

        “might just have been..”
        yeah, where have you ever seen a retraction over such fuzzy nonsense..
        Gaslighting 101

        umm, what?

          1. wearnicehats

            I haven’t a notion what you’re on about – I don’t think you do either

            The conspiraloons put up a post clearly attributing Nadal’s breathing pain to Vaccines

            I suggested they might update that post to point out that Nadal himself had since attributed it to a fractured rib

            By the way, the definition of Gaslighting is to “manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity” – what is your definition?
