Risking tens of millions of lives (in long term adverse effects or over estimated efficacy) to save at most a few dozen, with no evidence at all to believe you are saving anyone (death rates were same), does not make any sense. The real reason was the billions of dollars to be made by covering up the truth.

Since then, all the data confirms that in doing so, it also reduces deaths. https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/study-finds-large-gap-in-excess-deaths-along-partisan-lines-after-covid-19-vaccines-introduced/ https://ysph.yale.edu/news-article/study-finds-large-gap-in-... https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/new-study-shows-fewer-people-die-from-covid-19-in-better-vaccinated-communities/ https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/new-study-shows-fewer-p... https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination
