He took a LOT of heat for that little bit of truth telling. I didn't read that study. It was over my head. But I read an analysis of that study I did understand and immediately understood the risks were way lower than being presented and it was very significant to consider age and health status.
I got the first two doses (I was already in my 60s and could get it fairly quickly), but then I started reading English language news papers that were covering the results out of Israel and how it was failing to protect people. At the same time the early red flags about the risks of the vaccine itself were creeping into the non mainstream conversation. So I didn't' get a booster.
I don't feel badly about my decisions. I was acting on the information I had at the time and felt I was WAY ahead of the mainstream US narrative at the time. It wouldn't be so bad if honest mistakes were being made, but the government, media, health care experts etc...were clear cut and obvious lying sacks of shit on many of the questions. IMO they were/are pure evil vermin. That's what has me so pissed off. Some of them should clearly be in jail or worse.
And to be clear, I'm still not sure what the vaccine risks were/are. I just know on a risk reward basis it looks like a terrible bet for many young healthy people. And that goes double if you already had Covid. So mandating to everyone regardless of age and health was a bad mistake and mandating to people that already had Covid was criminally stupid
