While I agree with you, I don’t think this is the right way to go about it.
For what it’s worth, both sides of the vaccine debate need to make some concessions.
While the vaccines should have been taken by every healthy person to protect those who cannot be vaccinated, they didn’t deliver the promise of reducing transmission, only lowered the severity of illness (obviously still a good thing).
Also, the listed side effects, while being mild compared to the fullblown effects of covid, were not well understood and many people had symptoms like myocarditis after getting the Pfizer vaccine.
The other side, however, has a lot more concessions to make. The vaccines were nowhere near as dangerous as they claimed.
The claim that they were “experimental” is kind of interesting. It’s technically not true because they did have clinical trials. However, mRNA based vaccines were approved for the first time in many countries to immunise against COVID.
Many of these health regulators didn’t have the luxury of auditing these new styles of vaccine with their own establish policies and timelines.
My takeaway is this: Virologists say there will be another pandemic eventually, and COVID was a dress reversal.
As deadly as COVID was, it is very mild compared to some of the natural viruses we are aware of and could potentially hop species.
If we are to prepare for that, we need to iron this shit out before then. We cannot be bickering about whether it is against “muh freedom”. We need to be considerate of others, even at the expense of our comfort.
