You say fearmongering from politicians, I say an excuse to spend billions more of tax dollars to the benefit of their cronies.
Exhibit A: Canadian PM Trudeau who has signed contracts for boosters all the way up to 2024, in amounts that exceed the Canadian population by a factor of 2 (just in this one contract, never mind the other similiar contracts he has signed).[1] Of course, the full text of the contract, or the cancellation costs, will never be revealed.

- Mikeb85 5y agoWell the fearmongering prevents anyone from questioning the corruption, among other things. Also, I wonder how much the constantly moving goalposts, dishonesty regarding vaccines and politicising vaccines has fed the anti-vaxx movement? I got vaccinated because the evidence suggests it seems to work, but you've got politicians lying about its effectiveness, signing secret contracts, moving goalposts, all the while shaming those who are 'hesitant' while giving no one any reason to actually trust them (the politicians that is). Trudeau's top doctor at various points said there's no evidence that Covid transmits from person to person (when it was already clear it does), that it's not a concern, that masks don't work, and she's still the top doctor advising him... It's been a complete shitshow.
- imustbeevil 5y ago2024 means boosters for at least 2022, 2023, 2024. If covid becomes like the flu that requires a new shot every year then 3x (exceeding the population by 2x) is pretty much the exact number of shots you'd expect.
