It would be interesting to find out if those that publicly support and disseminate misinformation truly believe it or its support their agenda and gains them followers to do their bidding.

i’ll bang together a few propositions that are likely technically correct, that probably would attract scrutiny from the masters of correct information

covid vaccines are not completely safe

covid infections are not completely safe, and regularly cause injury

covid vaccines have killed and injured people

covid infections have injured and killed a lot of people

acceptance of unlimited endemic covid has injured and killed a lot of people
