I'm torn between two very different realities.

On one hand, I'm seeing way more people get the vaccine than I thought I would. Almost all of them had "adverse" reactions, post vaccination all of them are acting impulsively, moody, and irritable. They all believe we're going back to normal. They're booking vacations, going out to restaurants, taking their masks off, and "done" with the pandemic and "just want to live their lives".

For the most part, I do agree the numbers were bullshit, it isn't as lethal as they say it is, but long Covid is no joke. I've seen the Reddit posts, I've talked to the long covid sufferers, and its roughly about 1/3-1/4 people who just never fully recover after Covid. It took my Mom 9 months to be able to taste beef and coffee again after having covid, and her energy levels were way down during this time period, although she's doing better now it took her a year to recover. There's even studies showing Covid causes longterm damage to the entire vascular system, so even if you think you've recovered, you haven't and you just aren't aware of all the longterm damage its caused internally.

On the other hand, I've read all the medical research on these vaccines. Every day I find new studies, and the more research I read, the worse it seems these vaccines are. The only positive studies are from the manufactures, and there's basically no peer reviewed science or data otherwise. Almost all of the 3rd party studies conclude these vaccines aren't safe, aren't effective, and cause horrible longterm effects especially when the person is exposed to the actual virus. Some studies are suggesting a vaccinated person either turns into an asymptomatic carrier where they can spread it to the unvaccinated or turn other vaccinated into carriers, or has an outcome worse than had they never been vaccinated (typically some kind of auto-immune reaction or sensitivity). This doesn't even include the long term side effects of simply taking the vaccine itself, of which there is potentially many.

With the latest CDC guideline changes, they either 1) have data proving the vaccines work and are fully confident in reopening but yet refuse to share said data, or 2) purposely trying to get the vaccinated infected with the wild virus to see what happens, or 3) they know the vaccinated are going to get sick and start dying and they're just going to blame the unvaccinated. Personally, I think the ruling class has simply concluded the herd needs to reach immunity, they've done what they can with the technology we have available to prevent some of us from dying, but now they simply need to spread the virus as quickly as possible to reach true herd immunity so they can go back to making money and implementing their various agendas.

Furthermore, I'm still waiting for more data on the potential for shedding from the vaccinated, and trying to figure out my personal risk tolerance for being exposed to the vaccinated. Many of the vaccinated people I know have become increasingly reckless, and are acting like they can no longer get sick, or spread the virus to others which as far as I'm concerned is still in the "unproven" science category until I see actual peer reviewed studies and consistent data indicating this is true. I want actual science and data from a number of sources, not just the drug companies claiming this. At this point, I feel safer around people who are unvaccinated and still taking precautions compared to the vaccinated who have stopped all precaution and are acting like it is over.

Is this the part of the movie where the bad guy dies but there's still 40 minutes left before the movies over? Or is this the end of the movie and we can finally run the credits?
