I have discovered, as I’m sure most unvaccinated people have, that the overwhelming majority of the vaccinated don’t want to hear about the jab in any negative context whatsoever. This is understandable. This behavior is driven by some combination of Confirmation Bias, Denial and the team sport phenomenon that politics has always been. I see this among friends and family, even ones who share my political views but elected(often early on) to take the vaccine. Some now regret that decision but tend to avoid the subject.

This psychology is so strong that I believe it adds power to the censorship of the news and data which show the truth and reality behind these vaccines. We are told that 70%+ of the world have been vaccinated. No one wants to believe they made a giant mistake, or were duped, or that(perhaps most of all) the other side was right all along. These emotions are among the most powerful in the human psyche. We may wonder at the motivation behind censorship regarding some topics. This one, not so much.

The study can’t be anymore biased than the FDA and CDC.
