If you don't know how citations and data work and are incapable of following them, even in an "opinion" piece, that's your problem. >Safe and effective... Every day that becomes more untrue in highly vaccinated populations like the UK and Israel, whose hospitals and morgues are full of vaccinated people. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/investigation-of-novel-sars-cov-2-variant-variant-of-concern-20201201 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/investigation-of-... https://www.gov.il/en/departments/guides/information-corona https://www.gov.il/en/departments/guides/information-corona There is substantial risk when it comes to mass vaccination in the middle of a pandemic as well, especially with highly infectious and rapidly mutating viruses, coupled with vaccines that are extremely ineffective at preventing spread. https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/ https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/ Calling it "conspiracy claims" doesn't suddenly invalidate the overwhelming amount of empirical evidence.

So will you refuse to go to the hospital if you get covid - because they aren't following the same sources of what is effective treatment that you do? If you break your leg or have a heart attack will you study up or go to alternative places for treatment? I suspect you would go to the hospital in those cases, because people are only convinced that in this one instance there's a giant lie or something.

  I won't need to go to the hospital because I have natural immunity from an infection that was so mild I'm not even sure when I had it. False equivalence. The treatment methods for heart attack and broken legs have a long history and wealth of data. I gladly take every other vaccine for the same reasons. They are not reliant on brand new techniques for which no long term testing or data exist against a threat that has repeatedly resisted vaccination with disastrous results historically. They are also not treatments propped up by singular hundred billion dollar companies who have a massive interest in their product being pushed as the only effective prophylactic. Companies that are set to make $30-50 billion, and also happen to be some of the largest lobbyists in the world. Would you accept Ivermectin as a treatment prescribed by your doctor in India or Japan?
