I think the problem was rooted in public trust. Many people were required to vaccine due to their work or where they lived and vaccine manufacturers were largely sheltered from product lawsuits. Putting these two things together has a corrosive effect on public trust. nolo.com/…/can-i-sue-if-im-harmed-by-the-coronavi…

We all knew infection was the best protection. Statistically speaking, yes, comparing the group who had had COVID vs the group that was vaccinated, in subsequent COVID infections those who had had the disease were less likely to die. Because those in the infection group who were most likely to die of COVID had already died. Turns out surviving COVID is a good indicator of your ability to survive COVID. The statistics on unvaccinated first-time COVID vs vaccinated first-time COVID tells a very different story. This kind of bullshit frustrates me so much.

The core problem with all this anti-vax bullshit, is that Vaccines worked…and they worked too well. We have entire generations now that have never seen the terrible consequences of Polio, Smallpox, Measels (Although thats quickly changing, Go America! /s), or any other disease thats been eliminated (at least at one point… Go America! /s) from popular concern and conscious. and as a result, they have no idea what crippling horrors that they have been, and are actively, protected from. and because humans are, generally, stupid and irrational and a lot of them lack the capability to think about anything beyond what they can see within 3 feet around them, they scream about the vaccines and call them evil because they have absolute no experience with the alternative, which is the diseases themselves.

Rand Paul is vaccinated. Reminder to tell anyone who brings him up that fact.
