If only we could count on the FDA and CDC

I don't think this has ever been true about any vaccine.

I'd still get the vaccine even if its effectiveness is 0%. Being close to 99% able to avoid serious illness/death and to avoid overloading the hospitals is the real remaining essential value.

You would get a shot that has zero effectiveness but greater than zero risk? Interesting.

No, we were not.

No, the cure is not the vaccine, and there was never a chance it could have been

Anti-vaxers are despicable.

So it is a good thing he died then? That is a bit harsh.
Lucky the government camps are ready to lock up the people who are too stupid to get the jab.
Now that the FDA finally finished approving it, we can legally make it mandatory for everyone.
