Here’s an unpopular opinion: COVID vaccine injuries are something no one seems willing to talk about. There have been documented cases here in Canada.

You’re worried about companies. I’m far more concerned when governments are involved.

Don't worry, plenty of people are willing to talk about vaccine safety, even if they have no idea what they're talking about and don't understand rates or per-capita figures (lots of crossover there!)

Most problems that aren't reduced to poverty can be reduced to people who can't read graphs and only understand linear functions. Alternative wording "it's normies that are the problem"

I'd argue that normies understand rates and per-capita figures. The people that don't are a noisy minority (and are disproportionately powerful).

How is it that the entire rest of the world has managed to move on, yet North America is still going on with vaccine conspiracies 6 years later? And we got the same vaccines as you guys.

This isn’t about conspiracy theories. People who experienced serious adverse events after vaccination exist, including documented cases in Canada. Kayla Pollock’s case is one worth looking into, among others.

The issue is still being debated today, particularly around Canada’s VISP and the time some claimants have spent waiting for compensation. Some people like Pollock who became paralyzed were offered MAID (medical assitance in dying). That's some audacity.

This thread is about accountability. So who should be accountable for this?
