That said, the abuse of a pandemic by scumbags does not mean that the pandemic was not there, nor that vaccines will not do a great deal of good for those most at risk.
Whom, by the way, the CDC wanted to deny vaccines because too many of them are huwhite.
Abuse of technology and science aren't limited to the pandemic, though.
While I think most vaccines are fine, the corporate/government alliance has burned through any logical trust it was once given by this point. Whether it's tech giants, or pharma giants, academia, or media. It's shown to be an empire of lies.
First of all, never trust the corporate/government alliance. My argument does not rely on trusting that murdering, thieving gang at all. If the vaccines are 'deadly' (meaning not the infinitesimal number of side-effects that every vaccine has) or some of the other crazy thing that is spouted, they would not have been able to hide that. So much of this conspiracy nonsense is stuff that would be impossible to hide, if not for the general public, at least for someone who bothers to find out.
Empire of lies. What a great phrase. I'd flair you, but we're on Win and there's no such thing as flairs here.
I'm more referring to the general public. Antivax sentiment will increase because of the shenanigans pulled. That will likely spill over into distrust of other areas of science. There have just been a lot of incidents lately that kills trust in anything and everything. The election crap. Covid crap. CRT crap. Peaceful protest crap. The general public isn't terribly rational in the first place, but continued trust would be extremely irrational, even if they get it wrong.
I generally don't buy into conspiratorial arguments, because common goals and common groupthink explain things better, but the push to have covid recovered people take the vaccine screams of conspiratorial corruption and greed. There's never been evidence that induced immunity works better than natural immunity against any virus, that I'm aware of. It strikes me as a way to get pharma paid for dosing people who don't need it, and it's a big fucking market.
Empire of lies
Can't take credit for that one. George Orwell quote popularized by Ron Paul. "Truth is treason in an empire of lies."

No doubt this is true.

The name of 'science' is far too often abused, and that will end up the same way as when the name of God was abused to justify everything that is in the interests of the powers that be.

That, and the fact that coercion is an end in itself. If you can coerce someone, then you have power over him. It makes sense that politicians, corrupt scientists and the so called intelligentsia would attempt to coerce the rest of society.

Are they not supposed to be equivalent? The concept of 'natural' immunity confuses Morbo.

Hell, I think the internet should be taken down.

And that's true enough.
You are not supposed to have that access and flairing is possible, just add it manually to the css file.
I do on Reddit.
Sadly, there is no such thing as a CSS expert on either KiA2 mod team. Maybe one.
