Even among regular people conversing, it's been taboo to (gasp) question the vaccine's effectiveness or potential side effects. I can't tell you how many times on I was attacked because I didn't fall into the "worship the vaccine" mentality. And I've never been anti-vax, I just had, and still have questions and concerns. Questioning science is part of science; few things are ever really settled. Hey, there was a time when spraying kids with DDT was the answer to a lot of our problems. Some say it's still affecting the grandchildren of people who were sprayed or ingested it.
I got the vaccine for my mom, and took the vaccine myself, and was glad it was available.
At the time my mom was 83. If I could keep my mom from potentially contracting it, count me in. Even with no underlying conditions, my mom is not very stout, a better word is she is frail. I was glad to get her vaccinated. She was the demographic who was dying once contracting Covid.
When my age bracket was able to, I got the vaccine.
Then the crazy came out... people demanding those who had no risk if they got Covid, be vaxxed. You had to show your vax card?
People who were vaxxed started getting Delta... and the vaccine no longer matched up to protect people... the officials screamed louder and took away more of our constitutionally guaranteed liberty in the name of "Emergency Powers"... but there were no therapeutics being developed, or old ones to be allowed, used or discussed? Very odd.
It became worse as the Biden Administration started to make those not vaxxed into the unclean, vermin, those who shall not have a job if they did not do what they were told. A government I no longer recognized...
On top of that my crazy Marxist Governor having survived a recall... became on par with little Kim Jong-Un... he had already decided which businesses could remain open, then close, then open, then close... that did not work out too well for him... so then he went after our first responders, nurses, doctors, and government workers. All the while keeping our public schools and universities closed... to keep them healthy, so they did not die he told the parents... and they believed him!
Then after the teachers unions refused to go back to work, when parents had finally had enough, it was mandated that everyone in school had to get the vaccine... test weekly and wear masks... including the children... what an evil unmoral man!
And here we are today, and only the Canadian Truckers have gotten the attention of the world... attention the leaders did not count on.
