This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

only if you have a sane reason to believe so

that was one of the arguments to dismiss covid back then and it was just vague 'chinese conspiracy' vibes

Sure, lets the vaccine. They were telling us long after we knew the vaccine wasnt as affective as they said that it was completely effective and that if you took one you were done. They even told us to give it to children. But if you looked skin deep you could see the vaccine wasnt working like they said, and that kids were 100% not at risk. How many times do you remember them telling us to get healthy to prevent harm from covid? I dont remember a single time, but they kept saying to take the vaccine, so I have to believe that it was about lobbiests and big phrama profit. If I am remembering correctly, almost all of the billions of revenue that Moderna had was directly from vaccine sales.

the vaccine was just as effective as they said, they even correctly predicted the side effects and their chances.

this is just unhinged man.

They said the vaccine would only be needed to take a single time and you were good and if you took the vaccine you were protected from spreading it. Those are both 100% false, and they side effects are still unknown, and much worse than they claim.
