    What about their effectiveness?

    I get that the first few versions might have stemmed the tide of the pandemic early on … but how effective are the new doses now?

    I’m not an antivacer but I do question the way the pandemic was handled and continues to be handled. I trust scientists, I trust the medical community, I trust our current level of knowledge and expertise … I even trust our government to do the best they can with what they have … I just don’t trust seeing big corporate interests quietly influencing everything in the background.

    I certainly don’t trust anyone or anything that reprimands me or is threatened by my questions or concerns.

    I would feel a whole lot better about all this if corporate and financial interests were completely disconnected from all our health care and pharmaceutical systems. Basically, anything that has to do with human bodily health should not be controlled or deeply influenced by monied interests.

      Their efficacy has been heavily studied and proven.

      versions might have stemmed the tide of the pandemic

      This is straight-up weasel language. There is no (rational) question as to whether the vaccines reduced hospitalizations due to COVID-19, or contraction of COVID-19 in general.

      corporate and financial interests were completely disconnected from all our health care and pharmaceutical systems

      This is not realistic in the slightest. Reasearch requires resources and the time and effort of highly qualified people.
