Even if the vaccine(s) are 1000% safe, the fact that people are being coerced by the state to take them, on threat of having their entire lives stolen (no job, no entry to businesses, and soon probably restricted movement) should cause anyone with a few functioning neurons to recoil in horror.
If you simply offer me a product, maybe it's safe, maybe it isn't. If you INSIST on me taking it, and engage in vast, sweeping propaganda campaigns across all media, brutally censoring all opposition and criticism and attempting to brow-beat the public into submission via a campaign of fear and intimidation, for a disease with a minuscule fatality rate, you have utterly convinced me that there's something wrong with the product and I should stay far, far away. At BEST, Big Pharama is once again hellbent on pushing a sketchy frankenstein creation to rake in the cash. At worst, something much more dark is happening.
For almost a year, the "Lab Leak Hypothesis" was scorned as deranged conspiracy blather. Now it is widely accepted as mundane, mainstream fact that ethics-free phrama researchers, in China but with US funding, created this disaster. It took about a year for the media admit reality. Now the "conspiracy theory" is that the vaccines are unsafe, for a variety of reasons ranging from mundane lack of care to more sinister motives. How long will it take for the media, and the establishment, to be forced to admit reality this time? And how many will end up crippled or dead in the meantime?

- AndrewBissell 5y agoThe science is not at all clear on this. Tests are being administered at very different rates to the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Transmission rates have never been compared in a properly controlled environment. Many very highly vaccinated states and countries are seeing far higher rates of spread than this time last year before there were any vaccines.
- SkyPuncher 5y agoThe science is extremely clear. 99% of people now dying of COVID are unvaccinated. Even if the vaccine isn't as effective as hoped against preventing infection, it's wildly effective at reducing severity.
- AndrewBissell 5y ago> 99% of people now dying of COVID are unvaccinated. Flat out wrong. Even when they were saying this earlier in the year before the Delta surge really took off, they had to count from the beginning of the Covid outbreak to get this number.
- SkyPuncher 5y agoHospitals require flu vaccination annually. The only difference between that and the covid vaccine is politics.
- AndrewBissell 5y agoWell, that a totally different mechanism of inducing immunity and decades of safety data and about a 30x difference in the rate of adverse event reporting to VAERS.
