The last lie the vaccinators hung onto was that the shot reduced the severity of the infection and prevented hospitalizations. It did not. Hospitalizations declined as the virus mutated and weakened. The shot was completely ineffective with disastrous side effects. What was really disgusting is that vax resistors like me were treated like lepers. We kept our heads while those around us went insane.
