Exactly.

They wreaked havoc in the US with oxycotin, but they also allow people to live longer than ever before despite a range of chronic ailments that would have killed them in earlier generations.

They're all bastards, but what giant corporations and industries aren't? You want the unfettered capitalism and globalization which brings us all the cheap equipment and technology and medicine we now rely on in our modern lives, Big Pharma is part of the package, along with Big Oil/Gas and Big Healthcare and Big Auto and Big Agri and Big Telecommunications etc. There aren't too many Yvon Chounairds around.

So, the narrative of take the covid jab and protect your grand parents has been proven to be bollix
the narrative of take the covid jab prevent transmission has been proven to be bollix
forcing it on all age groups jabs been proven to be bollix with many countries banning the covid jab for young men due to its risk.
And lets face it, more revelations are on the way.

There is some amount of people who just believe what they are told and don't question. We were fed lies and untruths. And the worst part is that, of the covid jab that did work i.e., protect people from serious illness or death, many many people going forward will be so sceptical of its benefits due to the lies and won't take it. Thank god I have an analytical mind and ask questions before taking anything i.e., if it's to good to be true, then its never true.

Jesus we would never have guessed
The bolded line is a contradiction in terms surely?

Covid is certainly not over. Nobody is forcing you to take the vaccine but you're leaving yourself much more likely to get sick. That's up to you if you don't believe in science or worse still you believe some of those attention seeking pseudoscientists from the internet.

There's the jnc figures vs real world outcome.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2117128

I'm not actually particularly suprised ( I am concerned with their regulation)with the Pharma companies. Its their function to produce profit for their shareholders. They've shown with Tamiflu and numerous other scandals that profit came before ethics.

What concerned me more was the health authorities and government agencies focussing in on the non-vaccinated and implementing divisive and discriminatory policies against them.
        If the main concern of government was the protection of the ICU units and
Collapse of the health service then the evidence was clear from a very early stage who was most vulnerable to severe covid infection and death and that was those over 75 with comorbidities and those with compromised immune systems.
     
Perhaps you can answer 2 questions of mine.
     What was the rationale(given what we knew about covid 19 transmission and mortality rates in under 12's  in 2021/22) in pushing for the vaccination of this group?
      Similarly what was the rationale of introducing covid passports, covid work mandates, college mandates or even entire population mandates as in Austria?

1. Yes, that's why we need peer review and replication of studies in science and medicine.

2. Early in the pandemic, people of all ages and health statuses were dying. I knew several young people, some with health problems, but others with absolutely none to that point, who passed away. I'm in Queens in NYC, so perhaps my local experience is different to yours, but my local hospital was on world news with the massive queues for the emergency rooms and the refrigerated trucks brought in to store the bodies. There were stories all over our news of otherwise healthy doctors and nurses in city hospitals getting sick and dying also.

3. As for rationalizing vaccinations of the u-12s, without turning this into a college research assignment for myself (and I'm sure it was discussed to death on these pages), my recollection is that it would offer protection for both themselves and those around them, especially old people (perhaps more of an issue in a densely populated environment like NYC than elsewhere) and would allow the schools to move on from shutting down classes (which they've done). We got our kids, both u-12 vaccinated. My son subsequently got a very mild case a few months later, but neither myself, my wife or my daughter caught it from him, and indeed we're all covid-free to date (I've been back working full time in the office and using NYC subways since summer of 2020).

4. With my work, the mandate was introduced to enhance the chances of a return to normal operations (and we were impacted greatly by covid). The institution I work for has a well-renowned medical and public health aspect, and they came up with the rules. The mandate was actually very successful in their case, with adherence in the high 90s among those who didn't get medical exemptions. I know of only one or two people who I've heard left over it. Personally, I had no issue with it, just like I never had any issue with other vaccination requirements I've had to meet, either for myself or my kids. As for examples like Austria's draconian response, never mind China, no, I wouldn't be in support of that.

Because a vaccine does not prevent transmission does not mean that it does not reduce transmission. People were required to take measures to reduce transmission, be they masks or vaccines, to protect people who were vulnerable through no fault of their own.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B
