Sometimes I still sit here and think about how 3 years ago, scientists pulled off a fucking miracle of developing 3 brand new vaccines for a novel virus that had never had a vaccine for it before in like 6 months, scaled it out to produce billions of doses, and then like 40% of the country just said "nah".

@JessTheUnstill I mainly blame the state of journalism in the country, where so many people noticed that they were being offered reporting that just didn't make sense, that came across as gaslighting, that they lost faith in the institution.
At that point, without trustworthy sources of information it's completely unsurprising that people weren't willing to believe that the new injections were safe.
