However, Covid is not Ebola. It only has a 2% mortality rate give or take, it’s comparable to the flu but just way more transmissible.

In this situation, the one we actually faced/continue to face, mandatory rushed to market vaccines don’t make sense other than from a capitalist pharmaceutical company making boatloads of $$ perspective.

The federal government overreacted re: mandatory vaccines and what worries me is if the next pandemic actually IS something catastrophic, people won’t get vaccinated bc they don’t trust the govt etc.
