If demand for the vaccine was conspicuously low, it's not like they would admit it.

Various entities are doing all they can to entice Americans to get the coronavirus vaccine. It's a little weird.
Close your eyes and think back to a time in which you, your kids, or any other loved one received a vaccine. Chances are, the event wasn't treated as if it was some grandiose event. No, the vaccine was simply administered, and you moved on to other things. That nonchalant, non-celebratory attitude toward vaccines was an almost universally accepted outlook for decades. However, in 2021, a new precedent seems to have been set.
Indeed, with the arrival and widespread distribution of several different coronavirus vaccines, getting the vaccine has become something of a special occasion. People gleefully post photos of themselves with their vaccine cards as if they had accomplished a spectacular feat. Birthdays, weddings, baptisms, graduations, and vacations, fine — but a vaccine? That just doesn't seem right to me.
People are being misled into believing they're virtuous and brave for taking a highly experimental vaccine that was hastily conceived and is the first mRNA vaccine ever distributed. We don't know what negative effects the vaccine will have on our bodies. We don't know if there will be side-effects or the possibility of death later on. Despite this, the media, businesses, and government officials have helped create what I call the "Cult of the Vaccine."

I explained why. It has something to do with public spirit, which we are allowed to have voluntarily without coercion from the government, and it has something to do with my own health.
I left plenty of room for those who think differently. I’m not a Communist Chinese, although I like some of the food.
We all know about the 5 days, or 14 days if you like, when a person is contagious without having symptoms.
I said nothing about treatments. They of course are helpful after you know you have the disease.
I said nothing suggesting that people should be told what to do. I clearly said we retain our rights of assembly and other rights.
I wrote only about different people’s sense of their own obligations to society.
Please stick to what I said if you want to criticize it.
A really good idea doesn’t have to be pushed this hard.
“There is far more to this vaccine than protecting the health of the unwashed the elites have no use for and who are considered expendable.”
There are so many angles.
One of them being: “trust the science”, better expressed as “trust OUR scientism” (where scientism is a denial of God, freedom, liberty, independence). It is religious belief, and the other side does NOT believe in our right to reject their belief.
Some of our MDs here (who I pick on frequently) might point to the CDC as an authority on medicine and disease. What will those MDs say when the CDC comes out with studies attacking civilian firearms ownership, promoting the trans agenda and more? I have brought up a similar point about the American Academy of Pediatrics, who promote both vaccines and an anti-gun agenda.

Exactly. And with much more hype than honesty you can’t trust anything being reported.
Good little montage
yup
