Tholehonestly, every single mainstream media source and instagram infographic telling me i have to get the vaccine and i am not allowed to question it makes me extremely skeptical. vaccine companies being completely immune from any kind of legal prosecution for damages also makes me extremely skeptical. i got the vaccine because i just want to go to out in public and i dont really care if it has negative health consequences down the line but i do not even remotely judge people who refuse to get it, and i think its really creepy how everyone is doing a strange cultural witch hunt against skeptical people who do not hold other anti-vaxxer beliefs.
I don't blame you for not trusting in american mainstream media, but almost every other country on earth will tell you the same. It's the scientific consensus and it's in most peoples best interest to halt the pandemic so things can return to normal.
The potential long term damage of these vaccines (that have never been proven in practice or theory) are outweighed by the benefit. People have long-term covid symptoms. There are people whose lungs are fucked up. For gods sake, your country has 620k DEATHS bc of covid. That number would have been a lot higher than it currently is if there were no available vaccines.
