It goes like this:
1) Promise of vaccine to return to: (1) normal society (2) substantially reduce spread (transmission/inception), and (3) only need one shot... i.e. zero discourse about the need for subsequent shots.
This is just laughable. We've been talking about how we'll probably need boosters (like with the flu vaccine) since 2020.
2) Cases begin to spike as vaccines wane, in direct contradiction to promises of major stakeholders (who have significant motivation to withhold the truth - the motivation being power and profit).
What promises? I've never seen this except from the mouths of some politicians. Meanwhile, I've watched health experts repeatedly warn us that this isn't over, that our vaccination rates aren't nearly high enough, that we needed to be mindful of mutations, and that even "normal" now shouldn't yet look like "normal" in 2019.
3) Major stakeholders move goalposts to focus less on the data of "cases" because that would show that they knowingly withheld information, and that the narrative of "unvaccinated" being the sole cause of the surge would be proven false.
You're starting to lose me here because I don't know who your "major stakeholders" are who are "moving goalposts." But there has been nothing in either the news coverage or actual peer-reviewed studies that have disputed the fact that the virus has spread more rapidly (and with more deaths) in regions with lower vaccination rates.
In other words, not only did I fail to see this shift in narrative you've described, but awareness of cases remained strong and it was pretty damning toward the decision to remain unvaccinated.
4) Major stakeholders shift strategy to emphasize the need for "boosters", knowing from the beginning that multiple boosters over multiple years would be the end goal.
Who shifted strategy? Who do you think is in charge of this stakeholder cabal?
And yes, medical experts have been brutally honest from the start that we likely could always have COVID vaccine boosters. If this is a secret conspiracy, then it's the worst secret conspiracy ever because it's been all over the news for a year. Where have you been????
Also, just because we'll have boosters doesn't mean you'll be required to take them. I'll make you a gentleman's bet right here, right now. If COVID vaccines of any kind are still required to get into Autzen by the start of the 2023 football season, I'll drive to wherever you live (provided you're still in Oregon), meet you at a bar and buy your drinks while you celebrate how wrong I was. You'd owe me the same pleasure, of course, if you're on the wrong side of this.
5) Common people believe the narrative fed by them who care little for their concerns and a lot about their own power and $$.
Good thing I'm not a common person.
