"Then again, look how many blockheads followed the convid narrative without blinking an eye.."
A lot of people still die from Covid; unfortunately they aren't all blockheads who didn't follow the narrative. A baby died in Perth last week from Covid; if it was someone close to you, you might think differently.
I assume "convid" was a Freudian slip; you were probably thinking about your soon to be convict Messiah.
