From what I can figure out, the “People’s CDC” sent out something that read “OMFG, the CDC is going to restrict COVID vaccines only to the olds and immuno-compromised!!!!1!1!” Which IS NOT TRUE. People’s CDC are recommending more frequent boosters (i.e., every 6 months) for everyone but, rather than just state that, they decide to go with a very misleading statement. Did I say misleading? I meant intentionally lie.

I will freely admit that I never saw the pandemic conspiracy theories coming. You can go back just 10 years and see everyone agree that Ebola was bad. Popular culture churned out stories about outbreaks of new and novel diseases, and the villains were always downplaying the risks while hero scientists raced to find a vaccine. It was just a common value amongst all Americans that “avoiding the plague” is good.

I don’t think we’ll survive anything more serious than Covid. Too many people will mistrust the experts and that’ll be that.
