I have no formal medical or scientific expertise outside of some first responder/disaster response (SAR, USAR) basic & advanced first aid, mass causality training (recovery & triage), and traumatic bleed control.
I'm not anti-vax; however with that said, I hold the opinion that it's every adult individual's (or in the case of children, their parents or legal guardians and ONLY their parents or legal guardians) responsibility (and right) to inform themselves on the risk-vs-benefit of various vaccines without outside influence, force, or coercion.
Vaccines are treated the same as the rest of modern pharmaceutical medicine; "one size fits all"...which is ridiculous, stupid, and dangerous. Sure, we all share biological basics, but each person has individual specific needs and considerations for their health and treating an injectable that can result in death as if it's a hat size is irresponsible and unethical. That it's a monumental task to sue a pharmaceutical company and that the government has the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is telling.
As I said, I'm not anti-vax. If a virus with a high morality and infection rate was burning it's way through the population, I'd most likely get the vaccine for it...assuming the vaccine was properly tested and shown to have minimal adverse effects.
At this juncture, I'm assuming anything concerning vaccines or disease mitigation coming from a concurrent government organ or any institution that receives government money...is a bald faced lie derived to drive a political agenda and achieve some political goal.
What really has me on guard is that past vaccine campaigns were halted and the vaccines destroyed if even JUST a minute, minimal amount of adverse effects were seen in the recently vaccinated, but with COVID vaccines the skyrocketing adverse effects and deaths are being ignore, as unfathomable efforts are being taken by government, corporations, and the medical community to persuade, coercion, guilt, force, threaten and shame people into getting this mRNA injection as soon as possible, with no guarantee of reduced symptoms, and no ability to prevent transmission or infection. All the while the government has paid for EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT. ensuring that the manufactures have raked in billions and have been protected from DAY ONE from being sued or adjudicated against.
Everything we've been told regarding COVID or the COVID vaccines has been nothing, but lies, upon lies, upon lies...lies to drive a political engine to grant extrajudicial, unconstitutional power and authority that hasn't been exercised on such a massive scale since the Second World War.
