It does favour one side of the political isle much more heavily, and that is simply a 'point' that just needs to be scored in this particular debate. Especially when such things come directly from the horse's mouth -- great reset, build back better, not to mention the inventor of the pcr test and mrna vaccines.
People see through this and ask questions. This is a healthy and natural response from a free Western country.
I'm not interested in comparing anecdotal evidence. You happen to know people who have had more complicated experiences with Covid, while I have the opposite experience. My wife and I, as well as some friends and family members were all totally fine in about 5 days. I've had worse hangovers. I know several healthy people including a young family member who've had severe complications from the vaccine. I know healthy people who were completely flattened by the flu, and one friend who almost died.
As you said we are free to use our own practical reason to guide or decision making process. But just like my opening paragraph above, the difference is one point of view is heavily bought and paid for, while the other is censored and suppressed at every turn. They only recently squeaked out an article that actually mentioned natural immunity being more effective than the vaccines. I couldn't believe it.
Many people are choosing to trust in their God-given rationality and immune systems for a virus that has a 99% survival rate, instead of lying politicians and the so called 'experts' on their payroll. There's nothing conspiratorial about that.
Very few young healthy people have been severely harmed by Covid. That's a fact.
If parents want to vaccinate their 5-11 year old because big daddy government tells them it's a good idea I will obviously have to disagree, but they are free to do so.
It's not a slap in the face to the people who've been hurt from Covid to accurately point out statistics and speak honestly about its purported dangers being overblown. It is a slap in the face to be lied to and misled by countless so called experts who've flipped flopped all over the place regarding the efficacy of certain measures, and stabbed each other in the back amidst a complete lack of scientific consensus. By politicians who've been complicit in one of the most ruthless forms of social engineering we've ever seen. The countless people who've suffered mental health breakdowns and economic ruin because of hypocritical, anti-scientific lockdowns. Kids who aren't allowed to play outside with their friends or take off their masks at school because of cowardly, hysterical fully vaccinated parents and teachers. Kids who've missed their graduation and other milestone events. Kids who couldn't play sports while pro athletes galavanted around the globe and dined in fancy restaurants. That's a slap in the face.
We went from "15 days to flatten the curve" to "3 shots or you lose your job and all your freedoms"
If people want to line up for infinite boosters and continue wearing masks while living in fear that is their choice.
They should also respect the choice of those who take the opposite path, especially those with natural immunity to the virus.
