I believe that about regular people. Believing that about government, media, or megacorps is foolish.

That scenario was created when media and politicians and Pfizer et al. took control of the narrative by force.

To take just one example - they're trying to stick bi or tri-annual shots into children at €20 a pop. There's no scientific or economic justification for it. The math isn't there, the evidence isn't there, and crucially, there are better places for those shots to go. It's not sane.

The only reason children in wealthy countries are getting shots before vulnerable people elsewhere is cash. It's pure greed. There are very real consequences to this.

Your comment is reasonable, with much wisdom - but what they're doing isn't motivated by science, or by helping people. It's just greed. It's evil.
