The Toxic Narrative of the Pandemic
Before the pandemic, there was a general consensus that vaccines were miraculous in many ways. The problem I had very early on was that I didn't see any evidence at all that children were actually at risk for any particularly serious consequences of COVID. You could make a case perhaps that they could get vaccinated like they might get vaccinated for a flu but the morbidity, mortality risk for children was no higher than it was for the flu. It's so egregiously in the financial interest of pharmaceutical companies to have that enforced or at least in their short term interest. We need to also acknowledge that there would be profound harms and damages from the mitigation efforts that were put into place.
