The vaccine was clearly rushed into production and saved a lot of vulnerable people's lives. That does not mean it does not have risks that, for younger and healthier people, those might outweigh the benefits.
But public hysteria and groupthink dictated that it had to be coerced on people.
I don't understand this logic. It had to be quickly developed because the entire world population was affected by COVID. We're talking about millions of deaths. Economies halted, everything literally went stand still and you expected the vaccine to take 3 years to develop?
I'm sure it might have sounded scary to have medicine developed so rapidly but I don't think you realize the scale at how it was developed because so many countries and companies dumped a ton of money researching a cure out the door as fast as possible.
Sure there are side-effects but in that case the side effects were worth having versus the deaths of high risk individuals.
Edit: reduced sensationalism
This is an oft quoted anti-vax meme and has no connection to reality.
Here is the truth.

Come back with credible, peer reviewed data or fuck off back to Facebook.
This woman died because of lies written by around a dozen people and spread by crushingly ignorant people like you. You're so confident in your stupidity that it's laughable. We literally don't care anymore. Take the vaccine, don't take the vaccine, we don't care. We've moved on from you.
It's amazing that you are both crushingly ignorant and absolutely confident. You are the walking talking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I'm familiar with these people. I monitored some of their subs and argued with them a lot. I still don't like the cheering.
When someone dies in a self-defense situation I still dislike cheering on their death. The death of criminals is tragic, too. You can create the situation that causes your demise out of ignorance or stupidity and I'll still argue nobody should celebrate.
I agree and I'm definitely not cheering but when you're dealing with this kind of smug arrogant hive-minded cultist stupidity it's easy to sympathize with those who do cheer.
