Frankly I'm not terribly worried about the vaccine itself. I've done plenty of reading on the subject. I'm however worried about the cult of vaccination/public health/'empathy' that arose during the 'Rona and how a major part of the US population made it part of their identity and daily political awareness to show that they were jabbed and worse, bully people into taking something they were not prepared to take it on short notice, or at all.

People are daily being bullied to do and live the way they don't want to. It's just become a norm. If you can't or won't do it, you're a weirdo, an outcast. The fine tones of "us and them" are everywhere. The ultimate lifestyle here anyway seems to be to move to the mountains and grow your own food. Shit like vacc sertifications would only accelerate the movement 😂🤙🏻🏞️💨💯

I was worried based upon the people I followed early on...and I hoped that my adult daughters...and young grandsons...did not take it. The key is that I recognized it was THEIR CHOICE. So yes, I agree with you that what the government, deep state, MSM, bad actors (late night talk show hosts, celebrities, etc) did to vilify the unvaccinated and silence the opposition...was evil incarnate. Luckily, I was already retired once - because I would have walked before I would comply. And that may have hastened my exit from a company where I went back and helped run their business intelligence group. No worries - I'll find somewhere on this planet I can work, to put a roof over my wife's head, before I'd sacrifice my sovereignty. And FYI - I did get COVID...once...and it did as it was engineered to do. I threw a blood clot in my leg. Of course, I set myself up for it with some of my behavior/choices while I had it...but all is well in the long run.
