The danger was in people’s minds and that was stoked aggressively by nearly every major institution we have: the government, the medical field, the media, and the tech companies. Each of them benefited from promoting fear.
Old people could have been even more protected while the rest of us continued on living. The emergency money could have been spent on providing more services to the elderly. Instead they were locked up with little help. In 2021 40% of Covid deaths were in nursing homes.
And finally, if you’re past the life expectancy and you know you may only have a few years left, would you spend it locked away isolated from your friends and family, or would you try to make the most of it, knowing that whatever happens you’ve made it further than most already? Many elderly were interviewed and were upset by the lockdowns for this reason. The average covid victim was in this very situation. Why did we take away their agency in their final years?
Please innoculate yourself from such extremism by studying this document very, very closely:
Just like a seatbelt does not necessarily mean you will not be harmed in an accident. Or do you believe all efficacy data to be made up ?
You're right, if you want to protect yourself against risk of severe outcome, that's fine. But vaccination does little to protect other people, it seems.
I'm double vaxxed, not boosted.
Nurses and Doctors who knew they had Covid should never have been forced to get vaccinated.
Very simple. Not difficult to understand.
