I think the other countries started banning it after a lot of scary data started coming out of the UK, where most of the population were already given that shot.

That makes sense.

It also makes me a bit more hopeful and drives off some of my internal conspiracy theories. I'm reasoning that most of the deaths due to vaccines are due to just government incompetence or because we live in a world without true free speech. Now with twitter under Elon, if we had another pandemic it would be way easier to handle.

Don't get me wrong... the fear was justified, and I think the people that suggested the lockdowns had at least a good mindset.

But it's very dystopic how some people just wanna forget the lockdown and the pandemic ever happened. The biggest social media platforms seem to have a problem allowing us to discuss it. It actually made so I for a moment plus a lot of family members did forget about it. It went on for almost 2 years!

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I generally subscribe to Hanlon's razor, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." It makes no sense to me that a shadowy government overclass would want to kill its citizenry, especially at a time where birth rates are declining and governments are encouraging record immigration to make up for the deficit. A knee jerk response based on fear and an overconfidence that technology can dig us out of any problem seems a better explanation all around. However, now that the shots have been given with almost zero testing and complications are showing up in the largest phase 1 trial of a treatment ever given, I fully believe that the same panicked bureaucrats are fully onboard to participate in a coordinated conspiracy to suppress the truth about harmful data. After all, when your stock price can go into freefall, erasing millions of people's pensions, when trust is erased in the people who were supposed to protect you, and when the prospect of jail time or worse looms over the people who were trying to fix the problem, those are very powerful motivators to try hard to force the public to forget the whole thing.

Ehhh. Most people that had a problem with the vaccine was due to how fast the vaccine was created. I think they would be more OK with it if the vaccines were more mature.

I also believe we got too safe after the 21st century. People thought pandemics, wars, famine and such were a thing of the past. I'm glad the first generation that had the modern technologies was the one to be proven wrong. I think we'll be more prepared for the next ones.

Covid and ukraine was a good training exercise, simply put. I would say it's the less worse of the scenarios: covid closed a few businesses and mostly killed old people. Ukraine was in Europe away from most people in the west and other places. It also showed the Dems true colours.

However, now that the shots have been given with almost zero testing and complications are showing up in the largest phase 1 trial of a treatment ever given, I fully believe that the same panicked bureaucrats are fully onboard to participate in a coordinated conspiracy to suppress the truth about harmful data.

It's not gonna work with Twitter under Elon.

That's why his father said he was a dangerous man.
