So where do you get your information?... This man is not the only one with this message... btw, I think nearly all the people on respirators weren't vaccinated because the experimental drug wasn't released yet... Some scientists are saying that the so-called vaccine is what has caused the variants... who really knows the truth?... as I have said before, the most common statement from the scientific community is, "We were wrong."
I understand your position, but to me it is obvious that masks, distancing, and vaccination greatly reduced the spread of covid. The instances of people on respirators asking for the vaccine are happening right now. It is very sad to see the unnecessary suffering and deaths that are taking place. The scientific community may have made some errors, but it is a learning process and the policies changed when positive results occurred. I think of it in terms of the real possibility of dying soon, or taking a chance that the vaccine may make me ill in the future. I would rather be alive next month and next year. My sister nearly died of covid and is still suffering the long term effects.
