I've never seen an ad for the COVID-19 so-called vaccinations mention even a single side effect.
Odd that, no?
Yes, and it's worth noting that when Edith Efron wrote this article, the country was in the middle of the "Consumer Rights" fad, when (as I recall it) began around the time that Watergate died down (1974) and continued well into the eighties. I remember it because an outspoken attorney from the place I lived (and still live) was one of the early activists promoting consumer rights and protections. Many things sprang from this movement, many laws, many political careers, much agitation and corporate kowtowing and flagellation.
The attorney I mentioned gained something of a national reputation for a time, although her light was soon eclipsed by other more vocal and perhaps more extreme personalities, some of which became household words. But things worked out for her rather nicely; she was appointed to the federal bench by Bill Clinton in 1998, retiring in 2022 after 24 cushy years.
Anyway, and to get to your point, it's amazing how the "consumer rights" fad — and a fad is what I think it was — was amazingly forgotten, to the point of nonexistence, during the COVID vaccine era, with its public shaming and even career disruption aimed at anyone who made even the slightest attempt to say "let's slow down here, let's just wait a minute..."
I don't recall a single "consumer rights activist," some of whom today hold high political office, emitting so much as a peep in defense of those — many younger than themselves — who asked for their own "consumer rights" (as consumers of health care services) to be protected by the government, at any level.
Including in hyper-health-conscious California, which was a leader in the "consumer rights" movement back in the 1970s.
Good post.
I was researching when the leftist anti-vaxx advocates started to recant...it looks like it was about 2011 or so...
No facts had changed—but Big Pharma started bribing and bullying their way through “opinion leaders”.
