I didn't take the vaccine at first because they pushed it as having "no potential risks". Every medical procedure has risks, so I knew they were bullshitting and was therefore unwilling to risk it. Mind you I worked through the entire pandemic as essential medical personnel (running a weed dispensary lmao)

Eventually, accurate risk information about the myocarditis / etc became available. That actually made me more comfortable because at least it was fucking honest. So I could evaluate, what is likely to cause me more harm, the vaccine or COVID?

The clear, science-based answer is COVID. You aren't a free thinker, you just opted into a different lane of dogma.

    You know that phrase when people show you who they are believe them? You knew they were lying. They told you they knew for sure it was safe and you knew they couldn’t know that. Then they admitted a little bit that it might be a little bit unsafe, and suddenly you trusted them?

    Imagine a wife, who knows that her husband has cheated on her with dozens of women. She knows that he is currently sneaking out behind her back again and confront him. After some arguing and denial, he eventually admits that he did see another woman, but insists that they only kissed. Should she believe him?

    Someone lied to you. Then they sort of quietly admitted a tiny part of it when called out. You believed them.

    There’s gullible written on the ceiling.

    Yet that you took the time to tell me that would indicate otherwise.
