I witnessed the adverse vaccine reactions of two of my friends. Neither reaction would be considered "critical", but both said they would never do it again. I was fortunate and decided not to do it the first time.

The examples you cite are what drive me crazy as well. I am stupefied to see how easy it is for the propagandists to convince people the "expert" advice overrides any and all simple common sense. If we never hear the phrase "keeping us safe" again, we will have heard it 1000x more than anyone should in the course of a lifetime. Groupthink stupidity, it's what's for dinner.
