Yeah, they silence you the moment you ask critical questions regarding its safety ({short,long}-term), because apparently when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines, a healthy skepticism is bad and it makes you wrong, crazy, a conspiracy theorist, and so forth.

It is funny to note the inconsistency in how certain people respond to government rhetoric. On one hand, they are strongly opposed to government surveillance measures, such as mandated backdoors or EU chat control law, recognizing these as tactics often justified under the guise of "protecting children" but ultimately serving to expand state power and erode civil liberties. However, they fail to apply the same critical scrutiny when similar tactics are employed in other policy areas, where emotional appeals and paternalistic arguments are used to push for increased government control, regulatory overreach, and so forth.

You are critical and people are critical back at you. Did you think this was going to be a one way street?

With conspiracy theorists you have to be super vigilant, because they don't argue in good faith.
