Out of curiosity, do you believe in anything publicly considered a "conspiracy theory"? (For example, "9/11 was an inside job", "Holocaust wasn't real/deaths were unintentional due to disease", "Sandy Hook shooting wasn't real", " COVID-19 isn't real/isn't nearly as dangerous as reported", "US politicians rape and murder children in Satanic rituals".)

meowface, most things that you mentioned above cannot be personally verified ( except for the holocaust and COVID 19), so 'believe' is a strong word.
It's simple - I don't trust the media or gov anymore. It's difficult to segregate fact from fiction.
With certain aspects of medicine/health it is relatively easy to verify, if one listens to the renegade doctors, experiment with diets. ( the US dietary guideline pyramid - can actually be inverted, I'm not kidding)
There is a larger point I'm trying to make: it's easy to believe the media, no work is needed, but to investigate take time/effort/perseverance which I have done to the best possible extent.
All of them have alternative explanations not found in mainstream media. ( and no I won't put forth the material for you. You will have to look for it)
>>"My guess - only one 1 or 2 are effective, rest are either useless or harmful ... I could be wrong."
>Yes, completely wrong.
So I presume you looked/read at many of these vaccines closely, way beyond what is found is mainstream media?
>most of the people in non-political power are doing their jobs reasonably on some level.
This is where I have changed my mind over the years. People may be sincere but not competent.
