When they get (forced?) past step 1 of The Narcissist’s Creed?

1. It didn’t happen.

2. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

3. And if it was, it’s not a big deal.

4. And if it is, it’s not my fault.

5. And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

6. And if I did, you deserved it.

Waiting for the downside to this.

If you spend all your life promoting abortion/homosexuality/sex ed & fighting climate change, why would you consider infertility to be a "bad" thing you're supposed to prevent? HINT: you wouldn't.

Since none of our "leaders" actually care to prevent our infertility or death, why would you think they're preventing our infertility or death? HINT: you shouldn't.

People respond to incentives; no one in our system is incentivized to protect us, so they don't. That fact doesn't necessarily prove these vaccines are deadly, but it does prove that nobody cared if they were - if these things work, it's just a happy coincidence.

Look, if TSA stopped screening, the actual rate of hijackings might remain the same - our screeners might be worthless, but just understand when you take a vaccine you're boarding a plane w/ unscreened passengers. As long as you understand that nobody's checking anybody or their luggage, fine - enjoy your jab! But don't think there's somebody looking out for you; everybody knows what the bosses care about, and it's not protecting the public.

Notice I'm not offering you a conspiracy theory. I'm just telling you the economics: nobody in the system cares whether or not these things are safe. They're in the system precisely because they care more about their power/position than safety (because in any competitive system, the people who prioritize power out compete the ones who prioritize safety, yours or their own). That ruthlessness, callousness is an enormous competitive advantage that ensures bad people dominate any system, so don't count on morality or anything else to save you - nice guys finish last.

All I can say to the jabbers is I hope you're right, people do get lucky & you might have gotten lucky on these jabs, but I doubt it - I really doubt it.
