Yeah and also with evidence of experiments done on people (Tuskeegee experiments) and then downright negligence and cover ups done for greed (opioid crisis), add that to poor treatment for Dr's convenience or due to their willful ignorance (lots of women's medicine, birth practices, no numbing for painful procedures) then even the vaccine crazies have valid skepticism.

I believe in vaccines completely, but it's hard to argue with an anti vaxxer that the pharmaceutical corporations have their best interests at heart. They don't.

Fully agree with the fucked timeline and honestly agreeing with ignorance is bliss. I just wanna take the blue pill and go back to sleep. I want to be happy and trust my government like a dummy.

No, they really don't. To be extremely clear, it is nearly unanimous from every expert that there is no valid reason not to get vaccinated, and lots of very good reasons to do it. That is the consensus of the entire field. Immunologists, virologists, public health officials, in every country. It is as contentious in the medical community as saying the earth is round, not flat among geologists. Which is to say you can probably find a flat earther geologist or two. But they are crackpots.

All this "I believe in it buuuuut does is make people falsely hesitant about something that is the scientific consensus.
