> It seems like you are not alone in that sentiment. Would it be fair to call this willful blindness or something else? Yes, I would definitely call it willful blindness. Fair. I can handle it now, but with all the other stress forcefully injected at the time, I couldn’t handle this debate then. > Can you elaborate on why you view those arguments as contradictory? They seemed to be more about informed consent than testing standards. The argument is almost always coupled with a complete distrust of the entire pharmaceutical industry. A variety of pills that you take that will very unlikely prevent death from covid, a use for which it was neither made for nor tested for is still made by the same untrustworthy pharmaceutical industry that makes the vaccine that injected 5G chips into my body. The cognitive dissonance presented here is pretty depressing. Edit: some good data here would be the percentage of people who initially declined to get a vaccine due to lack of testing compared to the percentage of those who are vaccinated now that it’s been proven to be effective over time. It would be interesting to understand that aspect. If that percentage of those who are vaccinated now is low I think we could infer that the issue for them, largely, was not the lack of testing.
