No kidding. Also I'm not surprised you are being downvoted despite making some very valid points.
I couldn't believe one of the first nurses they vaccinated at the beginning of the rollout was one prone to fainting - who then fainted.
SERIOUSLY? If they wanted to instill confidence that's NOT the way to do it. It's like they were trying to sow division from the start. And then they wonder why people are distrustful? Changing medical "facts" based on the politics of the moment hasn't done any of the "experts" any favors - from no mask, to masks, to double/triple the masks (freaking clown show, that one) now masks even if you have had it/get the jab (absolutely NO medial basis for that policy) - it's just nuts.
If you want to have a really good time, just look up dear Dr. Fauci and his handling of AIDS in the 80's and SARS in the 90's. How that man still holds the position he does is simply mind boggling. He's less reliable than the local weather forecaster and at least they have a good reason for their accuracy and won't kill people based on being moronically wrong. When you look at how he downplayed AIDS when it was well known he was flat out wrong; how many hundreds of thousands died (especially in the gay community) that didn't have to?
On balance vaccines are a slam dunk positive; I'm certainly NOT an anti-vaxxer (just got my shingles vaccine - shingles are nasty; don't fool around!). I'm just not in a hurry for the COVID vaccines when I don't have to be - especially when it's still under emergency approval. Heck there are still studies narrowing down the optimal dose size - the smaller you can make it while still being effective greatly diminishes the side effects and it could be as much as half of what they are currently doing according to more than one recent study I have seen. That's a huge difference! I have had allergic reactions in the past so yeah, I have zero problem waiting a bit until more of this stuff gets refined. That's hardly a nutter/denier position, yet there seems to be zero room for nuance in public discourse these days. It's either you are part of the heard/groupthink or you are worse than a nazi, non-human and subject to immediate purge from the planet :p
