I doubt that you've really never heard any opposition to covid vaccines that aren't deranged things, but okay, I'll bite.
Simply being against forcing people to get covid vaccinated is now defined as "anti-vaccine"... So if, by chance, you also don't think people should be forcefully injected, you're anti-vax too.
Covid vaccines clearly had some positive effects, especially for vulnerable people, but:
* I don't think the balance is right between the risk of catching the virus versus forcing everyone to get vaccinated every few months
* If you think there are no problems with vaccines how do you contend with Astra Zeneca being abandoned in so many places and Moderna being disallowed for under 30s?
* Studies show that kids have more heart issues from the vaccine than from the virus. It's a sick society where we care more about the risk of passing the virus to adults than the risk on the kids.
* If everyone is following the science, why do so many countries have different policies? Especially when it comes to masking and vaccinating kids?
* It's not great to play along with the removal of your rights. How are you ever going to recover them?
But most importantly:
* I shouldn't have to have a reason. We used to think that every man is his own master and he's allowed to make wrong decisions. Do you know how some people have cards saying "do not resuscitate"? Science may decide that the person needs to be alive so he needs to be forcefully resuscitated, but we used to respect people's choices anyway.
Now, because of an infectious disease (as if we've never had one before), we've thrown the individual out the window and worship The Science, even though every government as a different The Science.
