All true..but to be fair to the "normal citizen", there was no reliable information available. I'm usually highly skeptical, and especially so for mandates. Always thought if you can't make your case without authority to force it, it probably isn't a solid case. There really wasn't any counter-indicating information readily available.

At the time, I asked questions, looked into mRNA vaccines on PubMed and NCBI, and stuff like that. Looking back, the clues were there and I missed it. But from the pre-2020 literature it seemed so long as I was an healthy adult, with sound immune system, it should be harmless. Clear from the literature was that it was NOT ok for kids, and folks with certain immune disorders. At that time, no one was suggesting giving this to kids. By the time I got dosed the first time, it was well known that almost everyone was having some adverse reaction - another clue that, clearly from the pre-2020 literature should have been a warning sign. Prior flu vaccines reported AE rates on the order of 2 per million, not 90%. I have no excuse for missing that. But I reasoned a few days of feeling poorly was worth it (again not having a firm understanding if "it").

Finally I violated my won rule "never run version 1.0 of anything". Learn from the experience of others. Wait for the bug reports. I failed to apply this to the vaccine.

Suppression of history is a long-standing political tactic, and the recent history of vaccines and immunology is clearly being suppressed. But at least pieces of the truth tend to sneak through in the retelling, eventually. I wonder if 50 years from now the survivors will look back on 2020 and view the massive scale experimentation on billions of human subjects as another holocaust. Or has it been so well scrubbed that all humans will have forgotten "never again". ???
