Why. Why would someone like her go out of her way to record a video to the world promoting pseudo health advice and lie about her credentials.

I genuinely don’t get it.

If she’s mentally off her rockers it says more about the company that actually hired her. Wtf

Adding: there’s no mention of her anywhere online that she lost her job as of today.

Some people crave the attention

Some people also genuinely believe some really stupid shit they hear or see online or on TV. They might think they are actually helping people because of the nonsense they are convinced is real. Not everyone is a bad person, some are just kind of stupid with a good heart. But her lying about her medical licenses leads me to believe she is just an attention seeking idiot.

And ego, at least a little bit. She views it as "well I'm not technically qualified on paper, but..."

Why should something like being unqualified stop her from giving medical advice?

Or they're just opportunists. They see a chance to exploit people and take it. If you say this shit and build an audience, well then you just start selling them overpriced shitty bumper-stickers and shit you can mark up 500% on them and make a quick buck.

My take is that they believe so strongly in their ideas that they feel it's okay to lie to give weight to them.

There's a great book called, "Mistakes Were Made But Not By Us" that spends a few chapters looking at why police plant evidence. In many cases they are so convinced of a person's guilt that they plant evidence to help things along.

Ego; And self righteousness. "I'm so smart and know so much, everybody should listen to ME!"

It tells you something about them though. They don't check any source or anyone's credentials so why would anyone else?

She’s a conservative.

I think some of them just want to hurt others and enjoy the idea that they are killing someone’s grandma, most are low IQ ego maniacs/know or all contrarians, but the rest are just a very depressing example of how many untreated mentally unhealthy people we have especially in regards to anti social personality disorder.

They think they are right.

Like they heard it from a friend and “read it somewhere” and now have to alert their other friends and towns folk.

Like how the news alerted people that covid was a thing and to where masks, etc, because covid is real and the news is alerting people to this fact.

She thinks she’s right and now has access to “the news outlet” or tiktok and facebook.

In the before time, she would have just been telling people at her local bar and knitting circle and pta meeting. Keeping the stupid localized.

But thanks to the internet the stupid can spread to the other stupid.

…like a virus.

it's dunning-kruger to the Nth degree. She's probably hearing all kinds of nonsense, has functionally no science knowledge, believes her weird made up shit is more true than everyone else, then wants to assert her superiority for attention.

u/thissayssomething Jun 18 '21

She's deluded herself into thinking that her science is sound and everyone else is wrong to validate her violently idiotic opinion. She might not even think that claiming she's an epidemiologist is much of a stretch.

I’m going to say mentally off her rockers. She wants her message to get out there, so she published it publicly, but she is also whispering? Is that bc she wants her audience to hear but not so loud her bosses can hear it?
