    I’m far more alarmed that people with zero medical or scientific background think they can just wade into debates about vaccinations that they have zero knowledge about… a Facebook post and a quick web search doesn’t equate to a phd and thirty years experience in a specialist field.

        I have no idea why your comment would get removed. You’re entitled to your own opinion and to ask questions… and yes, it was fairly tame. I wouldn’t immediately classify you as an anti-vax lunatic on the strength of what you wrote.

          (from the modlog) reason: Foolish + misinformation

          I guess the mod didn’t like what I was saying. The mods evade scrutiny, unfortunately.

            Yeah, a lot of people are still COVID vax zealots, despite everything. It’s become part of their identities, like political affiliation or religion, so even questioning it is a form of “blasphemy” to them.

            Reasonable people know not to trust pharmaceutical companies or politicians, but even then, so many had a blind spot for the shots, likely due to fear (both existential and social) and propaganda.
