It's not really that surprising. Prescribing Opioids like candy, outlandish prices for things like Insulin, bankrupting poor and uninsured for end of life treatments, covering up the gain of function research funded by the NIH, censoring all kinds of stuff, beginning with their President and probably a few of their friends. I'm sure some of those anti-vaxxers have friends who had COVID and came through it ok. And now, trust us, take this experimental vaccine without any backup plan in case it has adverse effects lasting a couple of weeks. Loss of work, maybe a hospital bed to pay for, etc.

The vaccine would better tolerated with a national health care plan and letting people take Ivermectin if they want it. At the moment, CVS won't fill a Ivermectin prescription, even though it quite safe, but they will fill up your pain pills no problem. I do think that the vaccine is marvelous, but I'm not naive to the failings of our medical system.
