There is no "blind faith" here. Major pharmaceuticals sell thousands of safe & clinically proven drugs with well-understood side effects. The FDA usually does a good job of vetting these drugs. That isn't always the case (Oxycontin's role in the opiate crisis comes to mind), but the last several decades have shown that they usually figure out how to put out a safe drug. Same with vaccines, which prevent the spread of deadly diseases and historically have had little to no side effects for the overwhelming majority of recipients.

The FDA & pharma companies in general aren't "proven perpetual liars". That's just a stupid narrative you've concocted in your paranoid, conspiracy-obsessed excuse for a brain.

My dad was a well-meaning doctor and always a slave to them. I've seen the evils of Big Pharma - and even shared the blind faith that almost had Big Pharma nearly stealing my life - with everything else. They took a dozen of my best years. There's no need for willful ignorance without at least a modicum of skepticism.

The overwhelming majority of society are not even affected by this so-called COVID-19. That fucks the rest of your argument thereafter.

Denying conspiracies doesn't make them go away.

Oh were you on anti-psychotics for a while? Do us all a favor and get back on them.

Very low effort.
