> What did you find questionable that was in addition to any overstatement of results? Not one single thing, but many straws that finally broke the camels back, as it were. The speed at which it was developed and made "mandatory", for one. The release from liability granted to all the produces of said vaccine, for two (which I would be more sympathetic if not for #1). The laughable "100% effectiveness rate" that was touted and walked back rather sheepishly. The equally laughable assertion that the common flu just "took a year off" in 2020 and every cough and sniffle was COVID. The outright hostility to _reasonable_ skepticism (i.e. "this technology is relatively new and could have unintended side effects so we should study it more", not "Bill Gates is putting microchips into the syringes to track your children"). Hospitals and media / government types deliberately conflating deaths _from_ covid and deaths _with_ covid. (It's this specific example that makes me suspect the redefinition of "recession" as a political exercise). The outright lies surrounding how vulnerable children were/are vs the elderly, the latter being FAR more vulnerable. The idea that the virus was created and escaped from a lab in Wuhan that was a conspiracy theory, until it wasn't. Politicians and elites clearly not practicing what they preach, be it the governor of a state going out to a fancy restaurant with their buddies, unmasked, during the height of the crisis or those who enriched themselves and their businesses on relief funds. There are more but it's actually pretty depressing to list. > And nobody wanted job losses, they just wanted people to try to fight the spread. Eventually enough spite built up, mostly against the people acting bad on purpose, but between a "make them lose their job" button and a "make them try (retroactively)" button I bet basically everyone you describe would have smacked the latter. Could have fooled me based on public statements made by pro-lockdown politicians at the time. "Fight the spread" was repeated ad-nauseam by those pushing questionable methods that many people knew were suspect to be begin with, yet were castigated as "killing grandma", "anti-science", "rubes" and every other name in the book rather than taking their concerns seriously.
