    Decades of doctors, researchers, and Nobel prize winning immunologists willing to endure endless derision and destroy their careers.

    Hundreds of thousands of parents with identical stories.

    But we’re just the antivax crowd. Smart people believe the ads on TV.

      Decades is a way to count people now? I think the number you’re looking for is 2%.

      I didn’t take the vaccine at first because they pushed it as having “no potential risks”. Every medical procedure has risks, so I knew they were bullshitting and was therefore unwilling to risk it. Mind you I worked through the entire pandemic as essential medical personnel (running a weed dispensary lmao)

      Eventually, accurate risk information about the myocarditis / etc became available. That actually made me more comfortable because at least it was fucking honest. So I could evaluate, what is likely to cause me more harm, the vaccine or COVID?

      The clear, science-based answer is COVID. You aren’t a free thinker, you just opted into a different lane of dogma.
