Not just Iraq war- Vietnam war (pentagon papers), Wikileaks, Snowden revelations- boggles my mind just how many people still have unflinching trust in their government, specially when a comparison to other countries come in. I don't know if it's nationalism or a hidden desire to feel superior or something else. But given how these western countries handled covid, and the fact that China has a history of fighting viruses like it- I'd rather trust a Chinese vaccine over an American one, all else being equal.
