Well I work in an industry that was greatly affected by the pandemic and also observed first hand how the vaccine greatly reduced the workload as the cases dropped like a rock and never came back to anywhere near the levels they were before. Also personally know many doctors and others who work in healthcare and so I have first hand sources. I don’t need to rely on any media filters. So I knew for a fact what these people were saying were falsehoods - lying at worst, clueless at best.
But the stats you reference were from anti-vax conspiracy sources being pushed as supposed “evidence” the vaccines had no effect on hospitalizations...when in fact they showed the opposite - overwhelmingly the opposite. 50% of the hospitalized patients coming from a pool of 80-90% vaccinated vs. the other 50% coming from a pool only 10% of the population would indicate overwhelming effectiveness of the vaccine.
It is also strange the amount of time people here focus on the Astrazeneca vaccine (which did have a higher rate of side effects) that was never distributed here in the US.
After seeing numerous posts of people saying things like mRNA is something that was “invented and does not naturally occur in the body”, “it’s better to get a virus than something that will hijack your cells”, posting from “top doctors” who claim viruses and bacteria don’t cause disease and there was no such thing as viral polio, and that appendicitis doesn’t exist it is only constipation, etc., forgive me for doubting the veracity of the people who claim to know what they are talking about who have been spreading these conspiracies.
The vaxx issue is like the war in Ukraine.
Everybody has an agenda.
Everybody is lying.
I will wait for the dust to settle—ten years—and let us see where we are.

“The Industry” was re-purposed to become a killing field.
Repent, RW
Isn't this the standard pattern for the emergence and decline of a pandemic, even without vaccines or other interventions?
You are a pathetic quisling.
I also never came down with this "COVID" that everybody seemed to be in a big hysteria over. Also, we never did have a spike in deaths when COVID was supposedly raging. The only difference was that elderly deaths during that time had the cause attributed to that phantom COVID as opposed to the normal reasons old people eventually die. And yes, the hospitals got much more money if they attributed somebody's death to COVID as opposed to heart disease, diabetes, pneunomia, etc.
I have ZERO trust in what the gub'mint tells me and I have no faith in their so-called vaccines.
Remarkably, Spanish Flu cases dropped to zero. Imagine that.
