I was particularly amused when the New York Times declared this newly recognized vaccine injury syndrome is “rare”.

How would they know this exactly?

I didn’t get the vaccine primarily because I was relatively young, in outstanding physical condition, and not mentally retarded although also because I resented being ordered to get a vaccine by someone who probably thought I needed a spanish flu vaccine, and that the Kaiser must be defeated at all costs.

Same, for exactly the same reasons except the 'young' part.

I'm old enough to remember the media-generated hysteria about the Swine Flu in 1976. It was the same as with Covid, but the pushers weren't as powerful then. It went on all summer and into the fall of my senior year in college. There was serious talk about kicking us malingerers out of college if we didn't get the vaccine. Then one day I came back to the student house where I lived, and it was all quiet. Nothing about it on the news, and nobody was talking about it. Apparently we had a functional FDA back then, which yanked the vax after 25 people had died from it. Final score: about half the country vaccinated against Swine Flu; one person perhaps dead of the Swine Flu; at least 53 people dead of the vax. I think 60 Minutes eventually ran an episode on it, but most of the crap media that had been chittering condescendingly about it for months just went silent and memory-holed the whole affair.

The Covid play was deja vu on steroids, and instantly recognizable.

I didn't get the vaccine because of right from the outset it was obvious the whole thing was a dangerous scam. The fact that all the Pharms peddling that stuff were exempted from liability made it obvious.
