Unfortunately, stupid people will not be able to connect these dots. They live in an emotion driven fantasy land, and no amount of external evidence showing their in-group hurting them will change their mind.
The only things that change minds are in-group pressure, and trauma. So it's possible that some trumper will have seven hours of screaming diarrhea and while curled up at death's door realize the error of their ways, it seems a lot of people would rather die than be momentarily embarrassed.

Lots of people literally cannot admit they are wrong. Like it causes them literal pain or something. It's so strange to me

Tons of MAGA idiots died painfully from COVID because they refused to wear masks, social distance, and get vaccinated. I wonder if, right before the lights went out, some of them realized the error in their ways. I'm guessing most of them were so brainwashed that they didn't.

Icu was full of trumpers screaming about ivermectin until the very end, denying COVID, during the outbreak. They cling to their delusion even on death's door.
