I wasn't boasting about anything, so please don't put words in my mouth or false spin on what I said.
I stated my opinion that the original vaccine against the original Covid strain saved lives among the targeted first recipients: the elderly and those with comorbidities. We know this because the people in these groups started to survive the virus.
To deny this because of recently uncovered political corruption is, IMHO, as wrongheaded as mandated vaccinations for everyone.
