If someone is being obstinate with you then you may ask them, Where is the line? For instance, let’s say that someone said that the Earth is flat, and you showed them pictures from a boat far out at sea, where only the tops of skyscrapers on shore were visible.
Because a round Earth explains why you can’t see the bottom half of the skyscrapers when 40 miles offshore — losing about 500 feet of low-side visibility every 40 miles, due to a curved Earth — you may say that the evidence is enough. You may say that a line has been crossed and that a round Earth should be believed in.
If your friend still believed in a flat Earth, even in face of the evidence, you may ask, Where is the line?
Where is the line that, if crossed, would lead you to change your mind on the subject?
COVID
Looking at a study published in Nature in April of 2022, I was astounded at how much of an increase there was in emergency calls for acute coronary syndrome after taking the COVID jab.
For young females below age 40, the count of calls made from Jan-May in 2021 was 91% higher than for those same months in 2019. I ran simultaneous 99% confidence intervals around the number of emergency calls and found high statistical significance:

The researchers tie the emergency calls to the COVID jabs, and they also rule out that COVID infection itself was the cause. Because COVID isn’t a threat to those under 40, but the COVID jabs are, one wonders why government officials have not banned the COVID jabs — at least for the young.
A good question of government officials is: Where is the line?
Where is the line that, if crossed, would lead them to ban the COVID jabs, at least for the young? Could any sitting government official answer? Would any sitting government official answer?
If 91% more heart issues is not enough evidence, what percentage would be? Would officials become ready to ban COVID jabs if there were, say, a 900% increase in heart emergencies following the jabs?
Would a 9,000% increase be enough to lead them to change their minds? The disturbing part is that, looking at their behavior, one can’t tell. You can’t tell when a line will be crossed for them.

"You can’t tell when a line will be crossed for them."
We are living in an age of incrementalism. Everything gets a little bit more worse every day. This is being accepted as the new normal. The proverbial line was crossed years ago. If I had to guess, I would say "their" line is at 7.5 billion (or so) deaths still to come.
