When Covid first started I did a lot of research. I concluded I should take extra vitamin D3, C, A, and other immune enhancing supplements. The thing is, if it didn't help there was no downside to what I was doing.

That's different than someone telling me the vaccine is going to cause all sorts of health issues, I should not get vaccinated, and I should take his supplements instead. If he's wrong (or lying just to create sales), I'm screwed. So I have to weigh what he's saying vs. the possibility that thousands of doctors and scientists are knowingly lying about the vaccine and untold people are going to die or get very sick because of it.

My guess is the truth is somewhere in between. The risks of the vaccines are probably a little higher than they know or are letting on so far, but that's because they are making a value judgement that the risks of the vaccine are lower than the risks of Covid. It's what I've recently been referring to as the "noble lie". They know they aren't telling 100% of the truth, but they think they are doing a greater good by not scaring people about the risks and encouraging the vaccine.

That's what I've been objecting to. I just want the truth. Then as individuals we should decide (with our doctors and families) what we should do. At 62, I chose to get vaccinated, but I am still contemplating whether to get a booster in several months. It's going to be a VERY tough decision for me because I am operating in ignorance.
Truth is of inestimable value -- something in this fallen world, one has to diligently and carefully search for. Most people, are not entirely truthful, i.e. the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I wasn't aware that Mercola was telling people that the vaxxes would harm them, which is a big difference from saying they "could" harm you.

But even our public health officials were not fully truthful, as we saw by that FDA document of "possible covid-19 adverse events" document dated October, 2020. Do you think there would be as many vaxxers today if they were fully informed of the possible harm these experimental drugs could inflict? What happened to our right of informed consent? Our government demands that we just say "yes" to their experimental drugs, while at the same time they conceal a great deal of truth from us.

The bottom line for me is this: The preponderance of evidence is that all the entities involved in the Deep State have not been acting in good faith all these months. Therefore, I must search for facts (truth) elsewhere and draw the best conclusions I can. This is where critical thinking comes in.
