I think a lot of libertarians used vaccine skepticism as an excuse not to pick a side.

*No vaccine skeptic ever stopped me from getting a vaccine.* The only people who stopped me from getting a vaccine were the DEM elected officials that gave it to 30 year old teachers who weren't teaching months before they allowed my sick 75 year old father to get it.

Libertarians should have strongly opposed vaccine mandates because even if this vaccine is safe, the breadth of medical interventions that the powers that be may advocate is not necessarily safe. You can see this with the trans stuff.

Since the vaccine didn't stop transmission there was no case to be made for mandates. We also found out that vaccination rates didn't do anything to get rid of NPIs, so that idea was a non starter too.

Finally mandates make approval of vaccines controversial. If everything not forbidden is mandatory, then there is an incentive to forbid things were one otherwise wouldn't care what others do.

What does the data reveal about the mortality risk of Covid? What does the data reveal about vaccine outcomes?

It seems to me the greatest obstacle to understanding is lack of agreement on what is accepted data. For the data I accept shows Covid is not a high risk disease and that the vaccine has little to no personal benefit and it yields a disastrous population impairment.

Government policy on Covid and the government and corporates policy on the jab has been disastrous. Only ignorance and pride - belief in the dogma - sustains a defense of these policies.
