If the entire thing was an honest enterprise then wouldn’t pharma companies, academics, and media be working overdrive to work out and publicise exactly how effective the vaccines were, how many adverse events and deaths there have been, and whether it was a net benefit for various age, and other groups? Crickets. Anybody who raises the question of whether, for example, young people would have been better off not taking the vaccines, is still being marginalised as if it’s not a legitimate question to ask.
I really have to wonder at people who think the idea that pharma and the media put profit before lives is some kind of whacky idea. They do know about the opioid crisis, don’t they? Or vioxx? Or the drug trials that go on in Africa because they don’t meet safety regulations? I really think it’s for people who act as if it’s somehow unthinkable that vaccine providers put profit before safety to explain why they think pharma companies in this one instance broke with their habit of pursuing profit over safety for this one product during this one crisis?
