THAT'S THEIR JOB AND THEY LIKE IT! But when someone asks me, \"Why did it seem like vaccines were going to solve everything, and now it doesn't seem like they are?\" that's not a question to get mad at, it's a normal question that people have about their world. But then there are the questions that people have because they've been engaging with the professional misinformers. Questions like, \"Why don't you think the vaccines are more harmful than the virus when...**some long string of quacky theories about hidden vaccine-related illness**\" and the answer is just like, \"Because you're being manipulated and everything you just said was a lie.\" The answer I want to have to that isn't \"stop lying.\" Instead it's \"I am so grateful to the people who made these vaccines (and their distribution) possible, and who have freed me from some of the frustration and fear that I've experienced over the last year, and people saying that those folks are evil or ignorant are doing them (and you) a tremendous disservice.\"\n
