Human Writes: Get your Covid-19 lifejackets on, people, the water's rough


A mass vaccination site being set up to deliver the Moderna vaccine to people in a rural area in the state of Virginia. Health workers in the United States have administered more than 100 million Covid-19 vaccine doses, as at March 12 - around 30% of the world's total of shots in arms so far. -AFP

The web of conspiracy stories about Covid-19 vaccines began before any existed: Bill Gates caused this “plandemic” so he could use vaccines to “microchip humanity”; the chips would link with 5G towers; the vaccines would alter your DNA... and so on and so forth.

A woman with large, pus-filled red sores on her feet was held up as an example of what happened to participants in vaccine clinical trials. Turns out she had only received the placebo. Deaths among vaccinated care home residents in Norway caused a scare, but they were old, frail and actually dying. In any group of millions of people, especially seniors, some deaths will occur.
