When it happened, my mum kept telling me about how she had heard of all these cases of people dying after taking the vaccine as a way to scare me from taking it. I had to keep telling her that there would be 100 times more people that could potentially die from my choice to not take it, especially if I was an asymptomatic carrier.
She wasn’t wrong; people were dying after taking the vaccine. But that’s not because the vaccine killed them, it just wasn’t able to help them. Also at the time it was infuriating. Most people seemed to have about a week’s attention span where they followed guidelines, but after two weeks they no longer cared and COVID was “over”. They didn’t want to hear that this could take years, because they wanted to party and their motivated reasoning kicked in. Lost a lot of faith in humanity.
