Here's what the CDC put out in 2021 https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7034e4.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7034e4.htm > a network of prospective cohorts among frontline workers, showed that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were approximately 90% effective in preventing symptomatic and asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in real-world conditions (1,2) Are they lying? Is 90% the damning number of ineffectiveness? Also I'm confused, why wouldn't you vaccinate everyone including healthy children? It's like the first thing I would do as a parent. The yearly flu vaccine is more of a gamble than the COVID vaccine and I still get it every year. Why do you want less protection?

> Why do you want less protection? I dont. I am not antivax and will not defend that position. What I am arguing here is that our government mandated and oversold (lied about) the effectiveness of the vaccine. Because of that, public attitude started shifting toward an antivax mentality.

  > Because of that, public attitude started shifting toward an antivax mentality. "Because of [COVID] mandates"? Apparently you've never heard of what a good chunk of the population believes causes autism, including Kennedy.

    > Apparently you've never heard of what a good chunk… Apparently you haven’t read all of the robust discussion on this thread. This wasn’t a “what came first the chicken or the egg” discussion. It was a “what made eating eggs so popular” discussion.
