My experience as well. There was no doubt the strain that escaped from the Wuhan lab was very deadly but for a narrow population of people. I was firmly against lockdowns because I knew the outbreak epidemiology literature clearly advocated for selective protection and normalization of lives and economies. Nonetheless after the horrible 2020-2021 winter I witnessed first hand, I WANTED to believe that the mRNA product was effective. Then, when I contracted mild Delta 6 months later and began to see that 30% of the hospitalized cases were vaccinated and NO cases had been previously infected I realized it it didn't work. I also saw that 90% of the deaths that winter were either advanced age, horrifically baseline sick, BMI > 30 and Diabetes/Hypertension. Fauci never addressed the Coronavirus vaccine conundrum - a vaccine for the common cold has been elusive for decades. It wasn't till Robert Malone spoke Joe Rogan that I fully snapped out of it. Too late. My wife and I got side effects after the 3rd dose.
