    The doctors and research scientists that are developing and constantly improving the technology that allows vaccines to happen is an entirely different group of people from general practitioners.

    The person at the urgent care clinic down the road isn’t also actively researching mRNA vaccines, that’s not how any of this works.

    It’s crazy “logic” to distrust academia because you had a shitty doctor.

      I fully agree that the people doing the work are doing legit science and improving the world, and more than I ever have by doing so. All I am saying is I understand why people don’t trust the corporate companies paying the salary of those scientists.

      Those companies will cut corners every chance they can if they think they can get away with it. My problem is with the profiteering ultra rich that push things out they know are harmful. I’m not saying vaccines are. I’m saying the same companies that own the vaccines are untrustworthy.

      On top of that the idea that all of academia is holy and not controlled in the slightest by corporate greed is absurd.
