Almost from the beginning, I advocated a middle ground on the Covid vaccine. Data indicated that it was both safe and effective in preventing hospitalization and death among older folks and more or less useless for youngsters. New modeling by Stanford and Italian researchers backs that up.
The ‘lives saved by Covid vaccines’ are dramatically less than early WHO studies indicated. And this calls into question the aggressive vaccine mandates pursued by many nations. This also squares with the experience of Sweden. Sweden did not ‘lock down’ their society and did not mandate vaccines. (Though it should be noted that Sweden - voluntarily - is one of the most thoroughly vaccinated countries on earth.) But Sweden has one of the fewest “excess deaths” throughout the COVID period.

America, once again, sacrificed the young for the benefit of the old. The deployment of the vaccine violated several medical ethical standards and those that made those decisions should be punished. The young adults of America, who have collectively lost millions of years of good living, deserve recompense in the form of jail time for Fauci and the Big Pharma execs. Never forget what was done in the name of power and profit.

I'm not sure that America is any more complicit in the sacrifice of the young than any other society since it is usually the young that fight wars but you used the term "once again" in the above comment saying this was exclusively to benefit the old. I'm interested in the earlier times that you consider that the USA deliberately sacrificed the young to benefit the old?

How did they calculate this? The disease already had a high survival rate, but if one survived after the shot, it must be because of the shot? Right.

But if they died after the shot, it WASN'T because of the shot.

The national debt us $37 Trillion, which has not benefited the GenZ/A. Student loans debt is $1.7 Trillion, which mostly benefited the people selling the education. The bank bailouts of 2008 did not benefit today's young adults. The last 2 decades have been a series of giant wealth transfers from the young to the old.
The Hippocratic Oath is 2400 years old. That is a long of tradition of "do no harm" that was thrown out to inject an experimental and dangerous vaccine into the young for benefit of a few based on the fear of the old. The medical profession should be punished for their collective action.
