I totally get that. The COVID vaccines were marketed as our hope for the end of the pandemic. But people with vaccines kept getting sick afterwards. There was definitely an overpromise and the messaging throughout the pandemic seemed completely "make it up as you go."
At the same time there was and still is hardcore political propaganda to divide us into "us" and "them" camps on topics like this. It makes everyone on both sides more easily controlled and manipulated. Being through with "us" puts you into the "them" camp and your decision is equally shaped by the other side of the same propaganda. Are you really looking out for "me" or serving someone else's agenda just the way they want you to?
One can decide to skip vaccines and still watch out for their neighbors, they aren't mutually exclusive.
Camus' book The Rebel is a fascinating read on the topic. This quote stuck with me over the years:
"Every revolutionary ends by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic. In the purely historical universe that they
have chosen, rebellion and revolution end in the same dilemma: either police rule or insanity."
