It was just common sense. Flu vaccines have never been much more than 50% effective. The idea that you can just vaccinate against such a hugely virulent virus like COVID, and expect it to stop spreading with such ineffectual vaccines just made no mathematical sense what so ever.

If people didn't understand that it is because they didn't want to.

"Listen to the experts". The experts never said any of that. Nor did the media. Critical thinking has been shunned the last two years. I mean you can think critically but lord help you if you say what you think online or in person. It's the in person bullying that is the worst, by the way.

> or in person

Interestingly I think all conversations that I have had in-person, with someone or a group of people I know, have been civil. In fact the only times where I was able to have healthy discussions were in-person.

Healthy online discussions with people I know in the real world? Nope. Healthy online discussions with people I don't know in the real world? Doubly nope.

I’ve been yelled at by almost everybody I know for even asking if what we are doing in reaction to Covid will harm us more than Covid. Literally yelled at.

Yon should consider yourself lucky.
