Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered?

Dago said

There were side effects that were not disclosed or breezed over (such as the heart issues) and things we were told about the vaccine that were patently untrue such as that it would stop transmission of the virus.
Things like that play right into the hands of conspiracy theorists

They actually were disclosed though. They were slow to get the information out, I do agree with that much. And a lot of the talk about talk about the vaccine stopping the transmission of the virus were well-meaning people who misunderstood how vaccines work, including some very prominent and public figures. The video I posted above talks at length about how we got there, and when we ran when we should have walked and so on.

A lot of that was because we were, and still in a politically charged environment which was always detrimental to the health of our country. This also feeds into those conspiracy theory narratives, and misled a lot of people. I don't know how much we, humanity in the general sense, has learned from the pandemic.

Sometimes it feels like another pandemic or other kind of national emergency would just be another big mess of information because everyone Is a wanna be expert when we think we're informed enough...when we're really not.
