Out of all the vaccines I have taken in my life: Tetanus, small pox, polio etc., never before have I seen so much confusion over a vaccine that says I have to wear a mask, and socially distance even when fully vaccinated. Apparently I could still contract or spread the virus even when fully vaccinated. Never had to have a double shot, never been bribed by establishments to take the vaccine in order to win a car, cash, or other prizes. I never had to worry about cardiac issues and/or blood clots and sadly more, I didn’t have to worry about death. I was never judged if I didn’t take it. I was never discriminated against for travel or other regular services. The vaccines I have listed above never told me I was a bad person for not taking it, or taking it for that matter. I have never seen a vaccine that threatened the relationship between a family member or a close friend. Never seen it used for political gain and never seen it used to persuade children in favor of free ice cream or teenagers going into a night club. I have never seen a worry about a mix and matching and yet told it’s OK to do it one day and not the next and on and off again. I have never seen a vaccine threaten someone’s livelihood, job, school, etc. I have never seen a vaccine that allows a twelve year old’s consent to supersede his/her parent’s consent. So after all I have said, can someone tell me how I am a racist or conspiracy theorist. Non educated, non researched because I am not willing to take this vaccine. And the clinical trials will not be over for at least two years from now. Finally, after all the vaccines (shots) I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one that discriminates, divides, and judges a society such as this one. So much information is censored, deleted and removed from the internet. So many doctors, scientists, are censored and forbidden to speak out or ask legitimate questions when what is being allowed or not allowed does not make sense. This sure is one powerful vaccine. IT does all of these things that I have mentioned and yet? It doesn’t do what all the other vaccines that I have mentioned earlier were designed to do. That is to fight off “COVID”, a virus with a natural recovery rate of 99% thanks to our miraculous immune system!

I had never experienced anything like 2020 prior to it happening. I don't think hardly anyone had, as the last pandemic occurred around a century ago. So it would make sense that there would be lots of "never have I's" associated with it IMO
Plus there's a lot of ugliness just associated with the current political moment I think, everything becomes politicized including vaccines. It's dumb and depressing because vaccines were always something I thought humans could look upon as an achievement of the species, and many of the individuals who worked on developing them like Jonas Salk etc. were admirable folks who just wanted to help people. According to the unrealistically cynical attitude of today, such people basically don't exist and everyone is just out to prey on you, you're just a mark for someone, either for money or power or some weird esoteric reason. If you truly believe that then you might as well just hunker down and view just about everyone with deep suspicion...I prefer to believe that there are still good people out there
Gates definitely isn't one of them, though...wasn't the Oxford vaccine going to be patent-free until he convinced them to hand it over to AstraZeneca instead?
Some of the pro-vaccine people do go overboard with some of their "carrot and stick" measures to get people to get vaccinated, or even some of their rhetoric about such folks...but, on the other hand, I definitely do understand the frustration, on some level. If you've already recovered from covid then fine, you do you, but with a lot of people it just reminds me of a child crossing their arms and saying "NO!" just to piss off some authority figure who they resent, in this case "THE ESTABLISHMENT", the government and the healthcare/pharmaceutical industry and all the eggheads at the CDC, etc. It's like yeah, are those flawed institutions, do such people sometimes lie, is money a big factor in, well, everything? YES. Are they evil people who hate and actively want to poison you? NO.
But what's the point, people are gonna believe whatever they want to believe. My mother, for example, feels that all the anti-vax people are selfish morons, and I have have many pointless arguments with her where I've tried to make the point that concepts like freedom or liberty or what-have-you are actually important, and that I understand the anti-vaxxer's distrust of public and private institutions, to a certain extent. But then you'll look at some of the anti-vax side's arguments and it's like the dumbest shit you've ever read in your entire life. I thought that this pandemic, albeit painful, might've been what it took to bring this divided country together but instead it just seems to have made it more divided and more stoopid
