I recently turned an anti vaxxer who called the COVID vaccine a clot shot into someone who decided to go and get vaccinated using a very simple argument. Feel free to use it:
1. Vaccines are made by drug companies.
2. Drug companies make most of their money off the elderly as ageing populations require more care.
3. Why would you kill off your customers before they become the most profitable to you?
They've now had all their COVID vaccines.

It is slowly dawning on some Russian bloggers what an absolute devastating loss the war is for Russia. Not a single strategic goal has been achieved, but a trillion USD wasted, plus more a million Russian casualties.
The worst is even yet to come. The gap between Russia and the major economies in terms of technology is far greater than it was when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Russia future is bleak and even some ardent Russian nationalists cannot mince words for what is coming.
