I guess people with respiratory issues are ‘brainwashed’ into taking flu and pneumonia shots.
I’m glad my folks were ‘brainwashed’ into taking us for the Polio vaccine...
The point is that there is no informed consent—and it is dishonest to pretend that there is.
Even FRAUDci has admitted flu shots are ineffective....and, natural immunity takes preference, against.....the flu....and, has admitted the same, regarding the china virus $hots.
Most people alive today don’t remember the polio years. We couldn’t go to swimming pools or movie theaters. Our parents spent lots of money on renting houses far away from the centers of contagion during the dangerous months of the year. They worried about every little stiff neck or headache we had.
They weren’t brainwashed, as you pointed out. They were overjoyed that they could stop worrying about it at last.
I know there are differences, but people were not as paranoid then. They were grateful.
Don’t forget that the covid pandemic came upon us as a monster that we had zero experience with, possibly a lab-caused virus that escaped, the material of science-fiction nightmares. We had never had to deal with any such thing before. The vaccine developers and those who promoted the vaccine were brave and heroic and saved many lives.
