How do you stay sane when people accidentally/willfully lie to you about Covid?

People are making me feel crazy about fearing Covid. I heard a therapist go “I don’t want to say Covid is OVER…” (but)

I’m angry at the normalization of genocide.

And is that the only reason someone can be angry without lying?

People can be angry for all kinds of reasons. If you prove to someone that failing to mask indoors in public kills people, and that person gets angry, it’s because they know that they’re killing people deep down and they don’t want to hear the truth from you since it’s embarrassing.

And it’s not possible that they’re angry for a different reason? Like they see their friend’s mental health spiraling?
