There’s really no functional difference between malice and incompetence, or even between evil and weakness. The problem is when incompetent people are given power to force their erroneous beliefs upon other, more rational, people.

That's a reasonable stance, though I don't agree in general.

But are you saying that's what the CDC is doing?

> vaccines are still the right answer for preventing mass public infection.

The vaccines don't prevent transmission so you're spreading pure misinformation here.

> And with a new pandemic, literally everyone is incompetent.

Then the right thing to do is to not pretend to be competent. Especially when speaking from a position of authority.

Fauci continues to present the vaccine as 100% safe without mentioning possible negative outcomes.

Are they not safe enough to recommend for everyone?

I have no idea.

There's always a risk with any medication you put in your body. Do we know with 100% certainty that the vaccine provides enough benefit to a 6 month old to justify the risk? I don't know.

I will at least give CDC.gov credit because now they are listing four possible "serious adverse events" (plus death is mentioned as well) here:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/sa...

But you have to go out of your way to find that. And nobody knows the long term risks but that's not mentioned.

Then listen to the news at 6, or the latest Fauci interview, and you'll only hear that "COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective".

>We have learned a ton about treating and preventing this disease, and vaccines are still the right answer for preventing mass public infection.

Are you _really_ sure about the statement you make?
