I wonder how many previously naive scientists (like myself) who blindly believed the gospel of "safe and effective" spread by the evangelical are now awake to the horrendous damage caused by the premature and unnecessary rollout of the mRNA vaccination program.

I am one of them.
As someone with zero risk factors, I was never afraid of catching covid myself. I was also firmly against mandates of any kind. However, I rolled the dice and took the vaccine anyway. At the time I concluded that the vaccine a) reduced transmission and b) had little downside. I also required the vaccine for travel so I could care for family.
It was not safe. I felt dreadful after the shot, and had occasional heart palpitations for a few months. Who knows what the long term effects are? Certainly the excess death rates among young men are not an encouraging statistic (and of course you won't find figures including vaccination status).
It was not effective. In fact, I caught covid a mere 3 weeks after the shot.
Taking the vaccine is perhaps one of my biggest blunders and regrets. It did worse than nothing for me and was an unnecessary gamble. I give props to the people who saw through the bullshit better than I did.

One hopes there are many.
And to "premature and unnecessary" I would add "profit driven" and "unscientific"

Nooooo. We need compulsory vaccination and more state terror to wake the people up! Even here in the forum are a lot of sheep that have 100% confidence in the state and its reps. Even after all what happened in the last years. Let them feel it!

I do not understand the biology of it all, but I think there is no winning on either side. If you do not give vaccines, then people die and everyone says it is your fault and you are an asshole for not doing enough to protect the vulnerable. If you give vaccines, less people might die, but then everyone says vaccines are shit and you are an asshole for telling them to get vaccinated. There is no good way to do this.

I didn't take the vaccines as many things felt quite strange:
  1. why these authorities push something so hard without even finding out the root cause? Not a good way to solve any problem.
  2. I was in some Balkan countries during the peak of the pandemic, yet people there live their lives like normal, no masks, no lockdowns, nothing.
  3. Too much censorship on doctors.
  4. Everything being suggested was doing the opposite of maintaining human health, e.g. lockdown, stay indoors, facemask.
So I went on with my instinct and stopped paying attention to all the news.

I think the best way to stay healthy is to avoid many men-made things, going back to nature and do things the natural way.

I think that is a useful heuristic in thinking about some of these things, yet I find some man made technology rather useful too :)
yeah, make the use of both, but do not get used.
I think what is useful is to understand that when something is being amplified in the news media, it is at the very least good to contemplate, why is this something being amplified right now and what is not being amplified at the same time etc
good point.!

I avoided the covid shots & got covid. it was a harsh sickness and I'm still not back to where I was 2 years ago before I got it. no ragrets.
Given that statement, I would also say that "banning mRNA therapy once and for all" is about as stupid as it gets. Sure, put the criminal bureaucrats and drug peddlers in jail if you wan vengeance or something. Sure, let's not put it in our cabbage or rice or whatever.
Whatever, though... there's many ways that this technology could benefit humans if it were voluntary, well studied & carefully implemented.
Also, technologies don't get banned... they just go underground.
