I do believe that the vaccine's safety has been long overstated and any questions about such have been mostly suppressed. However, there's no question that the COVID death rates were substantially higher in 2021 for the unvaccinated versus the vaccinated, especially for the middle-aged group where COVID deaths of vaccinated people was almost nonexistent.
The big questions are honestly:
1) Is the vaccine worth taking in 2022 for the non-elderly, or is its potential danger not worth any protection it brings from Omicron -- a much lesser form of COVID?
2) Should vaccines have ever been given to children, or was that a mistake?
3) Should vaccines have ever been given to people under 40, or was that also a mistake?
We may never get the answers. However, for my age group, there's no question that the vaccine was correct to take in 2020-21.
