Actor Tim Robbins expresses remorse about turning on the unvaccinated and the unmasked: 'We turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people'

Robbins, an Academy Award-winning actor, explained his journey from strict compliance with government edicts early in the pandemic to one of doubt about the inerrancy of so-called health experts and the official narrative constructed around COVID-19, vaccination, lockdowns, and masking.

Despite having initially "bought into it" and "adhering to the requests" made of him, Robbins explained that his real-life encounters were ultimately at odds with what he had otherwise been told about the pandemic, anti-lockdown protesters, and the unvaccinated. This generated a sense of cognitive dissonance, prompting him to doubt the official narrative.

...

Robbins admitted, "At first, if you were a Democrat, when Trump was president, well, you weren't going to take that vaccine because it was Trump's vaccine, and then that seemed to somehow change. It was kind of Orwellian. It was like we are no longer at war with East Asia."

However, after the political winds shifted and Democrats assumed power during the pandemic, Robbins noted, "If you didn't take the vaccine, you were a Republican."

The end result, according to Robbins: "We turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people."

They did it to get rid of Trump. That’s all that mattered to them.

Back in March his ex Susan Sarandon said the one requirement she had for a potential lover is that they be vaxxed. Haven’t as yet heard about her changing her mind or apologizing.

My skepticism began a lot earlier -- when Fauci and CDC continually moved the goalpost in the early days of the pandemic.

Nearly every day at the daily update with Trump, many of us could see the politics of COVID developing. Nearly everything about the topic was anything that was anti-Trump. Their 'follow the science' got to the point of absurdity because they were not following science; they were pushing an agenda.

By the time the vaccines became available, I was beyond skeptical. I wondered why they were (and still are) pushing so hard for jabs that had not even fully been tested.

I remain jab-free and plan to stay that way. I don't even trust their flu shots -- especially not after nearly 3 years of COVID panic politicking.

Not being a smart ass, and not being disrespectful to you, he obviously believes he is someone worth listening to because he is a learned individual with something worthy to say. His achievements? Is he a noted philanthropist. Has he done ANYTHING notable

He is an actor, so was Mr Ed. I doubt many individuals can tell which was the bigger horses ass

At her age, the only requirement she should have is that a potential lover is still breathing.

I haven’t turned the page and don’t intend to. Being told I would have to submit to a covid test in a cold garage to attend family functions because I wasn’t vaccinated was crossing the Rubicon for me. F’em and all the other little marxists that made my wife and son lose their jobs. I’m pissed and this time I’m not “getting over it”. That’s what they want, us to just forget. Not this time baby.

My son had to take the shot. Developed high blood pressure and was on meds that an old man would be on. Finally after a year his BP settled down.

Good point! This wasn’t a case of “we turned into.”
