People are about to be coerced into an injection against their will and could suffer ill effects, with no legal recourse. If it turns out they were right, then they were screaming the truth the whole time and nobody listened. Are you okay with all that?

People are already catching a devastating disease against their will, and are already suffering ill effects. Are you beginning to see how all of your speculation about hypotheticals has real world analogs that are already occuring?

Many of the people in my speculation about hypotheticals already had COVID. It's not an exclusive-or.

If.

I mean, yes? It all depends on how plausible the original proposition is. So the proposition under test here is "are COVID vaccines preferable to COVID"? The data from the real world is here and it's not even close.
