I don't think people who took shots are sheep - people with comorbidities, who are older, etc., taking a shot that offers a 94% reduction in infection likelihood seems like a fair trade off vs long-term clinical trials.
But the vective spewed at those who suggested that VE may wane, the potential long-term downside impacts of these shots, and so on, has been disheartening/bordering on angering. A key element of "science" is assiduous disputation...unless it's political science.
Now we have a SCOTUS case, that can potentially erode fundamental civil rights, arising from a mandate to take shots with zero VE against Omicron per this study. SOLELY on the basis of zero VE, the case should be dismissed.
I've seen a few people become red-pilled recently. I hope it continues.
The key here is, we should all have a choice to make our own decisions. If someone decides the vaccine is right for them, go for it, best of luck. If someone wants to pass on the vaccine, go for it, best of luck. I've made my position and reasons pretty clear. I'm also willing to listen as new information is coming out all the time. (that's the nature of a drug trial, we learn as we go)
What I have a big problem with is when coercion comes into play. Losing jobs, denied access to healthcare, paying penalties for healthcare, denied access to businesses, forced quarantine camps, etc. That is just wrong, legally and morally.
