"We're in a world were people think that Bill Gates is inserting microchips into people"

Well, as far as I remember - the root of that conspiracy has a true base - that Bill Gates really talked about the possibility of a health chip injected into peoples, as a vaccination certificate. So no chip coming with the vaccination, but a digital health certificate under the skin. But now it is framed, as if he never even spoke about chipping people and I cannot even find the original quote on reddit anymore.

"The current climate we're in means that consensus science from 50+ years of research and medical practice around the world is being questioned."

And too many things are getting thrown into the same bucket. Because the mRNA vaccinations are not 50 years old, but brand new. I can very much understand, being sceptical of a cutting edge proprietary technology, to be injected into my system. And I cannot verify the build process. I have to trust government inspectors to do that.

And as a matter of fact, one of the scientists involved with the original mRNA technology Dr.Malone advises strongly against it.

And the process of getting the data for the safety, is not perfect either, as a whistleblower showed:

Now sure - when reading a bit about Malone, it seems he left the realm of science and entered crackpot area some time ago and the data scandal is not so bad as it sounds - but they are real events nonetheless.

Also despite it is being repeated as a mantra that the vaccines are totally safe - there are strong indications, that people died because of the vaccinations. Not because the vaccines are a poison, developed by shape shifting reptiles, but because some production facilites messed up and some production batches got contaminated with various rubbish, which can happen in the real world when people are in a hurry.

So there is a chance, a vaccination does not help, but harm you as a individual. This chance might be very, very small and statistical speaking it probably still makes sense to get the shot. But the possibility exists. And is not really communicated this way, probably out of the fear that since people do not know statistics - they misinterpret.

But this is what fuels conspiracy theories. I mean, the flat earthers are out of the realm of reason anyway - but not everyone who is sceptical of the vaccination and the official data about them, is a crackpot tinfoil hat nuthead. Or am I?

Well, I know that I got angry beeing told by my doctor, that my vaccination (Astrazeneca) is totally safe - and only learned about the contaminations by chance the next day. Something the doctor should have known. So this was bullshitting me, which I do not like. Now I think I do understand the reasons for this bullshiting - because of negative placebo effect. Meaning if I would believe the vaccination is dangerous for me - it actually might be. I suspect many of the reported heart attacks as side effect, are showing just that. People got so scared and stressed that they developed real symptoms. While people being calm about it, have a better of not getting bad side effects.

So this is the problem as I see it. There are people who can handle real data and people who cannot. But we are all getting treated the same idiots. (And I believe people will never learn to deal with real data, when they are always only getting comfortable lies).

"So shut up and take the shot. The one we prepared for you."

I understand people getting upset with that as I do not like being treated as a sheep either. I am not a medical researcher, but I can read papers. And I would like to choose for myself, of whether I trust Moderna, Biontech, Astrazeneca, Sputnik or Sinopharm. But I do not get even that choice. For some reason BBIBP-CorV, the one from Sinopharm, which uses a very safe old school vaccination principal, of deactivating real virus - is not approved in EU, despite being in use worldwide and approved by the WHO. People being vaccinated with it, are recognized as unvaccinated here. Why is that? Is there some data, which is not shared? It is hard to tell for anyone not deeply with it.
