    Vaccines are typically meant to protect against viruses or bacteria. Cancer is neither of those. hiv is a virus but the political will to produce effective treatments was not always there. I think a lot of young people underestimate the homophobia that was pervasive not all that long ago and how it was tied to the aids epidemic.

    This is the most believable vaccine conspiracy I have seen yet. Everything else is stupidly far fetched, but replacing with saline and getting everyone to get on with their lives is a lot more believable then anything else I have seem. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened in some places in the world.

      If it was saline, how come people got sick taking it?

      People at work were always sick after they took the vaccine.

    The vaccine had been in development for decades.

    The gain-of-function lab COVID-19 escaped from was properly researching just that kind of thing.
