What position is that? From my position is the hospital as a physician I can tell you it is indeed gruesome. Our country has not seen suffering like this in 100 years. I can not think of a worse way to die for myself or someone I cared about than from covid.
I do not mean to be rude or argumentative, but you have stumbled across a fringe movement here. Mainstream medicine is not behind this because the overwhelming body of evidence is clear. It's not a political issue (I'm conservative), it's a fact vs fiction issue.
Mississippi and Alabama are both overwhelmed. We were turning the elderly with severe disease away 2 months ago, as we had to decide whose life was more important. We are still near or at full capacity. I've lost dear friends and neighbors who chose not to take this seriously, and some who did but were infected by those that didn't. I've completed my vaccine series with ZERO adverse effects except a little soreness around the injections site that lasted a day and a half. I received the Moderna product. We have people on a waiting list as the product is in very limited supply and being allocated. There have been drive-thru clinics, and clinics set up in Churches and other areas serving the elderly, but we don't have the quantity to vaccinate everyone. There have been reports of low grade fever, fatigue, and headache beginning anywhere from about 12 hours to 48 hours post-inoculation. Some have needed to take off work the day after or 2 days after, but have been able to return the following day as symptoms resolved.
Absolutely everything I've seen or heard about the vaccine's negative effects pales in comparison to the rapid onset of shortness of breath, brain hemorrhages, pulmonary emboli, stroke, renal failure, and death of those who succumb. This does not even consider the decline and death from sudden, unexplained heart failure, hypertension, renal failure, or embolism occurring suddenly in scores of patients who were thought to have fully recovered months prior.
What I personally find so amazing about this entire ordeal is how 2 people observing the same phenomena from different perspectives can come to such polar opposite conclusions based on the same observations. There will certainly be countless volumes of texts written on the subject of human behavior for study in our psychology and sociology classrooms for the rest of history based on that very premise. It's the old argument of I say it's black, you say it's white on a global scale. Truly unexplainable and amazing to me at the present time.
At the end of the day, each of us has to make up their own minds. The big brother conspiracy theories are entertaining, but they fail to consider how the people who run big brother can't even agree on how much money should be spent on their own office supplies, let alone cohesively advance an agenda of mass population genocide, control, or imprisonment, whatever the ulterior motive might be reported to be and have it carried out with such precision and flawless progression. We have actually had people ask if there was a tracking device in the injection. No, but the number assigned to you from right after birth and the lo-Jack you carry around in your pocket or purse in the form of a cellular phone will pretty much pinpoint you every time you make a move. If they wanted to find you, it wouldn't be difficult with or without receiving the vaccine. It is truly amazing to me how so many people, many of whom are fairly well-educated, can really believe in some of this stuff. If there is going to be a mass effort to kill, imprison, track, or otherwise molest our citizenry, it will stem from this anti- movement's paranoia from within the general population, not from the government that can't tie it's own shoe laces without a year of debates, millions of dollars, and finally a compromise that the laces can be tied, but only so tight.
