There were a lot of fucky things going on, but the biggest fucky thing was the global pandemic, and things actually were very weird and counterintuitive because it’s been three generations since the last pandemic and no one knew what they were doing. There were a ton of failures, plenty of poorly reasoned decisions, plenty of bad actors (and well-intentioned actors who lost sight of the bigger picture). But the basic story is well supported by data from independent sources.
And mRNA vaccines are possibly the most important scientific breakthrough of the millennium. It’s tragic that they arrived in an era of manufactured distrust.
Do the math man, that story isn’t at all unexpected. The case fatality rate was 2-3% in the US. It killed ~1.3 million people, but it wasn’t a death sentence. And vaccines had a clear effect on its toll:
I’m glad you didn’t die, and I hope you didn’t spread it to anyone who did.
This is just false, and you can’t provide a credible source to support it.
Here’s a study from South Korea finding 664 severe adverse events following 38,828,691 vaccine doses, of which 291 died (they don’t attribute cause, they are just tracking adverse events). Doses aren’t people, but let’s charitably say that each person got three doses. That’s .0007%.
Here’s a US study that found “no–increased risk was found for non-COVID-19 mortality, all-cause mortality, and cardiac-related mortality following the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine”.
As a matter of public policy, the government should encourage as many people as possible to get vaccinated, because people who won’t die from a disease can still spread it to those who do.
Dying after getting the jab and dying because of getting the jab are different things.
All evidence against your beliefs is propaganda. One neat trick to never have to change your mind!
