You need to seperate the "crap" from genuine concerns some people have. I certainly have read heaps of crap out there, like microchips that bill gates uses to track you with 5G cellular networks, etc. There is a significant number of nutjobs out there for sure.
I think there is a measure of genuine concern out there, albeit low. Its wrong to say any medicine/vaccine/treatment is 100% safe.
Nothing is ever 100% safe, each and every person needs to evaluate their decision of the risks of the virus or vaccine themselves without any peer pressure or coercion to receive it, if some people feel that they dont want to accept that risk, no matter how small, its their right to choose or accept it and we shouldnt judge them for that.
My nurse actually informed me about the risk of myocarditis with the pfizer vaccine, this was something I was unaware of at the time, and I respected her for being honest, most people I know who received the jab were not advised of any side effects.
Honesty always wins, and if nurses are being instructed not to inform patients of the risks and benefits of their treatment, thats wrong.
Are they scared some will pull out of getting the jab after being informed of this? If so, thats no excuse for not being upfront.
I think its wrong to downplay this, even if the number of those died is minimal from the jab, (we have had at least 1 confirmed death and others are under investigation) its still a human life lost, and there is no way to prove that person may have died from covid19 had they not had the shot.
It really upsets me when I hear people say that "covid would have killed her anyway" no one can prove such a claim.
