“crisis for democracy.”
Where have we heard this siren call before?

They're pushing "Authority Bias" where only the SMAHHT people can tell us that a shot that was rapidly tested, using technology never released on the general public, on a virus that was likely to mutate over time, that was not subjected to years of clinical studies to assess the potential for Nasty Things, is kosher. AND, if you doubt your Betters, you're a conspiracist.
Parenthetically, what kind of rube gets his news from Twitter?

The US MSM was responsible for spreading the most impactful conspiracy theory to date . .. Trump/Russia. They continue today to amplify democrat talking points as legitimate “news.”

“sowing false conspiracy theories is a main technique used to cover up true conspiracies”
And being critical of true conspiracies is not a theory.

——Russian vodka.——
A major problem of Soviet Russia was Russian vodka. In effect, the male population became alcoholic enmasse. the women were forced to jump in and do everything. They did. They became tried and just plain old worn out.
Now, with the Russian economy in shambles and getting worse, Russia will once again become a nation of vodka swilling alcoholics. The Putin loss will allow a new generation of failed Russians who find succor in the vodka bottle
The Russian women will once again dream of having the pantihose their economy lacks the ability to producer

Parenthetically, what kind of rube gets his news from Twitter?I've heard of this thing they call "Twitter." Would I benefit from investigating it?
They're pushing "Authority Bias" where only the SMAHHT people can tell us that a shot that was rapidly tested, using technology never released on the general public, on a virus that was likely to mutate over time, that was not subjected to years of clinical studies to assess the potential for Nasty Things, is kosher. AND, if you doubt your Betters, you're a conspiracist.
Let's examine this "Authority Bias" more closely: I think that, in the case of friends, acquaintances, and even family members who have sworn allegiance to "The Jab," I have observed a high degree of self-righteousness prevalent among "True Believers." Specifically: If there weren't any "anti-vaxxers," it wouldn't be nearly as "fun" for them, and they wouldn't be nearly as vehement.
All us "anti-vaxxers" want is to be left alone. We couldn't care less if "vaxxers" get the Jab dozens of times.
