Please don't use praise to smuggle in vaccine misinformation.

The vaccines were a (successful) strategy for the population as a whole; their use on low-risk groups was a part of that strategy.

While the usefulness of some of the tactics and groups targeted can be debated, isolating them out of that context to push your anti-vax message is extremely misleading.

The Nobel Prize in vaccine disinformation goes to:

Such can be, and has been, said about every vaccine throughout history. Why this one became such a political/religeous issue is beyond me.

But on the other hand, how much did the vaccination campaign accelerate the emergence of Omicron? I don't think there's any way to tell.

It's not hard spotting people that broke quarantine rules for a tiny ego boost. A lot of people died strictly because of it. With all the censorship on other topics on HN, I truly wonder why such medical disinformation is being tolerated and even upvoted. HN is becoming more like Reddit by the day now.

Being cowards and downvoting me on a dead post without having the guts to state your opinion in trembling fear of outing yourself as corona-deniers in a sick society where this is actually acceptable, none the less, one can tell that this kind of opinion is really only held by the worst our species has to offer and their boot lickers.
