If I limited what I know to what the MSM tells me and personal experience, there's a whole lot I would not know.
Its pretty easy to look up all the scientists TM7 cited, in fact I did. In fact, I did more reading in medical publications by virologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, medical researchers, doctors, people who are neither a line man, a chemist, or a military officer. I found that they're pretty open in their skepticism about the efficacy of the vaccines, mask mandates, etc. Its widely understood that the vax is a greater health risk to people under 30 than the virus, to the point the military is "considering other options" to requiring everyone to get boosted. We have lost young healthy military members to the vax. The head of the CDC has said the JJ is ineffective; the whole point of the booster is because the original jabs didn't last very long. Again, why are places that are 100% fully vaxxed and many boosted, wearing masks if the jabs work.
So its not really a matter of whether or not claims of vax deaths or inefficacy of the vax are true, its why isn't the news reporting it?
There has been no longitudinal study to support the claim that the vax reduces symptoms ... its a common myth, just like we used to say getting the vax would prevent us from getting it. We know that was never true, and likewise we have no evidence to support the claim that the vax reduces symptoms. We have known that the risk of death approaches zero for over 98% of people, and that has not changed.
If you need experience, I have known personally quite a number of otherwise healthy people who got covid, felt bad a few days, and recovered - no vax, no treatment. Just as you would expect from a coronavirus. And now Omicron is widely known ... not believed, known ... to be much less severe than Delta, even if it is vaccine immune and more easily transmittable. Since that is known, and not being debated in the medical community, why are states returning to lockdowns and mask mandates? Its clearly not because they are following the science.
