COVID19 was a real disease. SARS-CoV-2 was a real virus. If you were young and healthy then the threat was manageable. If you were old and in good shape, especially in good respiratory shape, probably little to fear. If you had all the comorbidities, you should have been concerned.
If a normal vaccine was produced, I doubt that there would have been much controversy.
But this was a virus similar to what were being designed in NC labs and instead of a weakened or dead virus vaccine, they decided to come out with an experimental mRNA therapy. Also, there was a bunch of hype and fear to goad you into getting this new jab. And it also wasn't authorized. No long term testing. And the brief trials were full of bad reactions and red flags. And there was no statistical difference in protection between vaxxed and unbaxxed after like three months out. And the lipid nanoparticles? And the DNA concerns?
So, yeah, it was real....really suspicious. It had that Be Our Test Subject vibe.
People are rarely comfortable when it comes to playing the risk vs reward lotto.
