In fact, it was almost 10 years ago exactly that my sister went to DC for several anti-vaxx and anti-GMO protests that targeted Monsanto and DOW. Today, she is on social media getting in arguments with people who question COVAX or Fauci, and calling anyone who disagrees with her a redneck or a conspiracy theorist. I don't know why it is so hard to find people with a nuanced position on these sorts of issues. COVID is real, vaccines are generally effective, and at the same time, medical reversals are extremely common, mistakes will happen, and people have a right to ask questions and express concerns about any line of treatment, even if the treatment is completely effective, has no side effects, and the person is literally retarded. People have a right to know what is being done to their bodies and their communities in the name of medicine. That shouldn't be a controversial claim, but to many woke, corporate "liberals" today, that kind of position sounds inherently "conspiratorial". Instead, they would prefer if you do not ask questions, you do not express concerns, and you just blindly consent to any procedures that pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies have decided are beneficial.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I get vaccines every year, I will continue to get vaccines, I will be getting the COVID vaccine, and my daughter will also receive all of the recommended vaccines for a toddler. However, I also think that people have the right to ask questions and even express skeptical views concerning medical authorities, biomed companies, and regulatory agencies (all of which have a very questionable track record). Perverse incentives are a well known problem in medicine, and this could become another instance of that.
