Many of those who are now considered by the establishment to be the most evil demons (Robert Malone and Peter McCullough come to mind) initially supported the vaccines and/or took the jabs themselves. Part of Malone's story is his own adverse event. Many people who used to trust "the system" got very badly burned by the events of 2020/21 and are among its most ardent enemies now because of the direct harms they received in return for their trust. Those of us who were already suspicious in mid-2020 were small in number; we could see the same patterns repeated through decades of this kind of crap and were already aware of it. But before these events, I treated even my own ideas with caution. "Conspiracy Theory" was a much more plausible label in 2020. By the end of 2020, the label ceased to have any humor in it at all. All truth entered "conspiracy" and the only "information" remaining was lies. The 1984-ization of modern discourse was complete, and we have lived in this model now for the past 4 years.
