"The pandemic is over". Hell, yeah. And if Dr M or Peter Mc had been given the Fauci role from the start, there never would have been a pandemic in the first place.
"We just need to quit acknowledging it." I submit that 99.9% of the commenters on this Substack, and on Alex Berenson's, already do that.

What the "mass formation psychosis" model that Dr M popularized taught me was that we, the 30% Resistance, need to (gently) nudge the middle 40% who are not hypnotized, but are nervous to buck the propaganda of the predators that the 30% hypnotized have fallen for.
How does one know whether the person you're talking to is part of the 30% hypnotized or the 40% reachable? I ask the person a single question. Examples are:
1. Did you think Covid came from the wet market in Wuhan, instead of a lab leak?
2. Do you think the vaccines are effective and safe?
3. Do you think the vax mandates are good policy?
4. Do you think vaxing the the children is a good idea?
If the person answers "hell, yeah!" on any of these questions, apologize for the question and change the topic.
If the person gives ground on any of the questions, they're in the 40%. Example: I asked a younger friend question #1 above. He said: "60/40". Although I'm 99.99 to .01, I didn't argue that point with him.
Instead, I patiently went through the censored science explaining that his plan to get the booster was not a good idea, and gave him a "cover story" to tell his hypnotized parents, friends, and employer. 1 down. 100M to go.
Good on you! I share your impulse to talk with people and try to influence their views. You're right it becomes apparent pretty quickly if you are hitting the wall, or find receptivity. I've been surprised lately that I've run into 4 people (last week), maybe more, at random who aren't on board with the narrative. What I am finding is that even people who have been "vaccinated," are saying they will not vaccinate their 5-year-olds. Three people I met by chance told me that. "I have a 5-year-old..." One point start with might be to ask if they know why these vaccines are different from all other vaccines (to put a spin on a well known phrase from my Jewish heritage)? I mean I know many educated people who will say "I am pro vaccine" or whatever, and then I find out they think all "vaccines" are the same.
I recommended him to say: "Well, I'm a bit concerned that taking the booster shot is like taking a vaccine for the flu from 2 years ago. I've heard that Novavax is being deployed in Europe and soon to be available here. I like that one because of its technology platform which likely makes it easier for that one to be tailored to newer variants like Omicron." He thanked me and said, quietly: "Thanks for saving my life". :)

Because I am going to use that technique too.
Peter, I like your strategy. Which cover story do you use?
