@Druvius Science isn't determined by politicians or voters; but agenda's sure are. There was an agenda to vaccinate all long before the science was in, before a vaccine was even developed.
I would prefer to wait for 5 years data to be in before assessing the statement "....vaccines are vastly safer and more effective than the alternative." With "alternative" including doing nothing/ early treatment(s)/ isolation and quarantine and other non medical controls eg hygiene and masks etc.
Throwing stones in glass house and all that.

Also my issue with GMO crops/ farms also, but a major issue. Mono-cultures are not ideal, actively ignoring ecosystem life. GMO does not promote ecological diversity.
GMO is a process, a technology. Knowledge, science. Can and will be misused like all science based technologies. Eg With drone technology, could use for environmental benefit eg clean up the oceans. But used to predate and spy on people instead. GMO is used to develop mono-culture and monopolies atm and thus susceptible to disease etc as you said.
Just because we know we can do something through science, doesn't mean we have to or should. Nuclear weapons the prime example.
