I think the vaccines are a good idea if you are in the risk categories, and if you havn't already had COVID.
The problem is that these vaccines are being pushed on everybody, even those with natural immunity, and its becoming increasingly confrontational. The biggest winners seem to be Big Pharma, who are already forecasting huge sales and profit increases from their vaccines businesses.
It will be vaccine shots now, and booster shots a year later, forever, until the public opposition is sufficient.
Pandemrix, designed for the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak, was found to have a 1 in 18,400 risk of Narcolepsy for children and adolescents:

By contrast the risk of COVID hospitalisation for an otherwise healthy 19 year old male is 1 in 5,882 and 1 in 500,000 for death:

These vaccine injuries are only found years later.
I'm a COVID survivor and it took a few months to recover and would prefer to have been vaccinated. But its not correct to force me to get the vaccination now, and incur the risk of vaccine injury, when the risk profile is so different due to my natural immunity.
It seems like natural immunity is being overlooked because if it was acknowledged, it means fewer vaccine sales.
