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?

Reverse question - what is the standard number of Covid jabs the US administrations are pushing people to get? 4 per year, meaning now they'd have to be to like 8 or 9 jabs?

@zonavar68 I had the last life-saving jab in October, and I just read yesterday that people in my age group are being recommended for another booster this Spring, so that will be two worthwhile jabs in the last year. I receive every one that is recommended, based on the current science, and I think the next one will be my sixth.
