I recently had to block a user on here for spreading harmful disinformation on Covid-19 vaccinations - they claimed that "more people are killed by the vaccine than by guns".
This claim is patently false and easily refuted by looking at the extensive scientific literature on the topic (a sample of which is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html).
Which got me thinking: what motivates people to spread this nonsense?

Americans in general hate being told what to do. Especially by their government ! And to some extent it's understandable.
If America is supposedly the land of the free, where's the freedom of choice in the Covid vaccine scenario ?
On that one you have to confront the likes of Trump; Fauci and co. who did their level best to fudge; prevaricate; and basically deny covids existence for so long; actively encouraged business travel to and from China, even after it was proven to be the source of it's outbreak; and then went into total denial about how serious it was; what the impact of having densely populated cities with major international airports; rail stations and underground networks meant for the spread of a virus over which they had no control.
Now ask yourself this. How many Americans do you suppose caught and died from covid or the effects of covid where 'Pulmonary failure' or 'Heart failure' were recorded as the cause of death rather than covid itself ?
