Dude... This is just about as much of a conspiracy theory as the vaccines containing toxic levels of mercury. Yeah, you can definitely find some sources that support both statements.

Do you think everyone who didn't get the vaccine is just a dumb little Russian puppet? And even if you do, do you not believe in bolidy autonomy? It's the same principle that underlies the very liberal stance on abortion here in Europe. If we can go stopping life based on this principle, why can't we also defend not getting injected with a vaccine that hasn't existed for long enough that we would be able to know it's potential side effects?

Did I get the vaccination myself? Yeah. Twice. Because I am not very skeptical of it myself. And life was shit without it. You literally couldn't go anywhere or meet with anyone if you didn't have it.

That doesn't mean I automatically dislike people who didn't get it though - I truly applaud those people, for they have stood against the masses and the immense peer pressure at the time. I'll never forget the creepy ass vibes we had back then. Whole nations basically pointing their fingers at a few people who chose to wait or avoid getting vaccinated and baselessly claiming "this is all your fault". They were getting compared with pests and terrorists. But they didn't do anything wring. They just existed. And exercised the right to own their own body.

I think the claims regarding 5g chips and autism, and what not, were and still are ridiculous obviously false, but that doesn't give me a right to force others into getting injected. They probably had other reasons than believe that sort of nonsense. Likely, they just felt insecure. Like it wasn't right.

And I wish now that I had not gotten the vaccine, because I feel like I have failed those who did stand up for their rights.

COVID was handled great in the beginning, but after 6 months or so, European countries should've changed course to a less restrictive society where only the people with extreme risk from covid were protected by the rules that applied to us all. But it was just 2 years of absolute shit. Now we see MASSIVE increases in young people with mood disorders, decreased productivity in school, and generally the efforts that were taken were just not worth it all in hindsight.

But please don't go insinuating that anyone who didn't get the vaccine, or doesn't approve of the way European countries on a wide scale handled COVID, is a Russian puppet, or is unable to think for themselves, just because some Russian a-holes spent their money in disinfo campaigns.

I certainly that sort if propaganda as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's right to dismiss others' opinions as just "you were manipulated".
