It's also very naïve to think that governments sometimes don't lie to benefit themselves and own political interests. It's also naïve to think businesses, ie pharmaceutical companies are not going to do and say, within the realms of regulation, what they have to get the product sold.
I'm not saying the vaccines don't work just saying that both parties could of embellished for their own personal gain, and that not a conspiracy. These aren't benevolent institutions.

I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
This isn't how science works of vaccine efficacy. Yes, pharmaceutical companies have to do studies that follow strict requirements to demonstrate effectiveness and safety, but that data gets reviewed and scrutinized by public health agencies prior to approval.
Further, once a vaccine is produced, the entire global scientific community can then do independent studies to verify the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines. And so far, all studies have conclusively shown that these vaccines are, indeed, effective and safe. These are not "lies" from politicians or Pfizer. They are statistics that have and continue to be independently tested and verified.
I think some have a hard time understanding how a study can CONCLUSIVELY say that the vaccine is safe long-term -- meaning 10 years from now. Science has been wrong before so it's not outlandish to question it. To me, it's more outlandish to not question it and be certain it has no long-term effects because science (which is a series of hypotheses and data aggregations which are never 100% correct) says so.
No I'm not trying to dismiss the benefit of vaccines.
But I'm trying to point out that these health experts have straight up lied to us from day one regardless of science.
Like you said vaccines aren't 100% but why have the medical experts told us that.
Do you think it's safe and wise that world leaders are spreading misinformation? Like if you get vaccinated "you will be safe" or "you won't be hospitalized or die" or "you won't have to wear a mask anymore".
Certainly the vaccine wasn't 100 even back then, correct??
Are governments locking us down? Closing small business. Suicide rates gone crazy? Certainly they aren't doing this and lying to us are they?
Governments benefiting themselves and who's paying the price?
The covid vaccines were given emergency use prior to approval so in this case that argument doesn't hold up. Also, I am vaccinated but there are known side effects and deaths associated with the vaccines. The numbers aren't huge but would of gotten other medications pulled in the past for similar results. I argue if it's just about hospitalizations why make the vaccine mandatory for people under 18? The data isn't 100% conclusive in this age group.

The health experts have not lied to us. (well, some may have, I don't know every health expert) Things have changed. The virus has changed, our understanding of how it spreads has changed. Science isn't religion with dogmas that never change.
I am not here to speculate on what politicians' motivations are or what they should have/should not have said. Any responsible citizen should educate themselves and understand what the reputable sources of information are. Forget what politicians say, listen to the experts who know way more than you, me or the politicians. And understand how science works.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
You and I both know that NOT every civilian educates themselves or have the resources to educate themselves. Many many tens of millions of people will listen to their elected leader and follow their instructions. This is why Trump got blamed for Jan 6 events and rightfully so.
The experts who know more than you and I have told me that quotes I mentioned earlier.
So the four "lies" you've pointed out:
1. Vaccines are 100% effective. - Literally no public health expert has ever said this. If they have, it will be very easy for you to source. But the vaccine companies have never claimed this, so why would any other scientist or public health expert.
2. If you get vaccinated, you will be safe. - Probabilistically, this statement is true. At best, for the most part you're criticizing them for generalizing, and not adding a qualifier like "most likely".
3. If you get vaccinated, you won't be hospitalized or die. - Again, probabilistically, this statement is true. Same as point 2.
4. If you get vaccinated, you won't have to wear a mask anymore. - This is only false because so many people selfishly didn't get vaccinated.
So 3/4 "lies" are either true statements or statements that were never said, and one "lie" amounts to babies whining about a minor and inconsequential extension of the "No shoes, no shirt, no service"" clause. It's a little piece of cloth on your face. Get over it.
Understood.
I certainly hope it was just a misunderstanding.
Can I ask a legitimate question to the likes of Rataylor, forumname, vincentvega and anyone else with their belief system.
Why do you think cancer has not been cured yet? Do you truly believe because there is no cure, or do you think it might have something to do with Big Pharma wanting to keep it the way it is.
A healthy patient doesn't make money. As someone earlier pointed out, and I paraphrase "can't blame companies for pushing profits". That also applies to pharmaceutical companies. In other words, they will push profits whether it is beneficial for people or not.
Same applies to covid. There is absolutely no need for all this testing and bullshit. But the more they test the more these stupid companies profit. Pfizer has raked in record profits last little while.
Everything is all connected, if you are willing to open your eyes you will see.
There are 2 people in this world. Those who think everything the government says is true, and those who think.
On topic, the shelves are starting to look fairly empty in grocery stores. Not too the point there is nothing to buy, but you can definitely notice a shortage.
No stuffy. You cannot ask me a single question. Imagine living in 2022 and thinking "cancer" is a singular disease.
