Trust Nature; Question Science
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke
Back when I was in university, I found myself living two lives. I loved the Arts and Humanities, even the performing arts. I chose with my first degree to major in Theatre. And believe me, it was a challenge both psychologically and intellectually. Studying theater in academic setting is not the place for a lackadaisical student.
Not only will you be expected to maintain your academic classes, but do so while staying up late and confronting you anxiety demons on stage.
You either grow as a person or get the hell off the stage.
The problem for me deepened because not only was I drawn to both performing and academic arts, but LOVED LOVED LOVED the sciences too. In particular, I loved evolutionary science that I stumbled onto while taking a compulsory anthropology class.
I am going to do a little humble brag here. Okay ... forget the humility ... it won't serve.
I aced this class, so much so that the professor approached me to join the fold and offered to write me a letter of recommendation. He showed us a graph and I easily understood (in seconds) the phenomenon represented and he was amazed. He explained that more learned folks (those with PhD's) had argued over its cause for years.
I politely declined and continued on with theater degree, fitting in more science whenever I had the room. I completed my degree and entered into nutritional studies, which was housed in the Agricultural Science department.This is when I began scientific study in earnest.
My classes completed and passed (often with A's) included:
Biology
Microbiology
Biochemistry
Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Aqueous Chemistry
Physics
Geology
Statistics
Calculus
Nutrition
Food Science
Population Science
Family Science
Agricultural Science
Then I pooped out, after 7 1/2 years of study and went to Japan to teach English. Came back and realized I needed a career. I was good at teaching and the quickest and easiest way into the teaching program was to complete a minors worth of work in social history, which included a class on the Philosophical History of Science.
Turns out science, even good science cannot escape bias and is most certainly fallible. Still awesome, but fallible.
And it can be manipulated. That is data and selection can be manipulated.

The very paradigms of science can be inaccurate and mislead otherwise rational and fair scientists ... from the truth.

Like humans that perform it, science is not perfect. Still valuable, dare I say loveable, but not perfect and not to be trusted without question. Not unless you want to be RULED over by least perfect humans among us.
Science has no weeding method for sociopaths, and our monetization of science, particularly health science, makes it rather attractive to sociopaths. Sociopaths, because they like having power and aim for it, often occupy the upper echelons of scientific influence.
We are never more vulnerable to manipulation than when we are afraid for our lives and the lives of those we love.
You must both educate yourself wrt to science and question it. I recommend you begin with mathematical sciences, specifically statistics. You will probably need a PhD and certainly a MD to practice science or medicine. But you do not need one to QUESTION it.
Indeed your questions move the evolution of science along.
So what's the purpose of this very long blog: to brag about academic background. NO NO NO.
I truly have better things to do.
The purpose is for you to have some confidence that I have taken my own advice in earnest and educated myself and continue to do so. There is so much to learn and I love it.
There is a saying that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Turns out those who know it are doomed to watch helplessly while it is repeated and those who know some science (I'm adding this) are doomed to watch ignorance and mass narrow-vision make some pretty awful history.
I am not anti-vaccine. I believe wholeheartedly in their JUDICIOUS use.
But what we are doing now is very likely to lead to astronomically more illness, death, suffering, and destruction.

And NO, artificially inoculating e/o won't stop this but only select/amplify variants not covered by the jabs. U R indeed indulging in magical thinking 2 believe laboratory science can keep up 2 viral mutations. If e/o turned lab technicians, we'd still exponentially out-matched.
Remember, the virus has tremendous cache in animal populations. That's how it spread to us? R U going to inoculate them 2? OKAY. Now all the bacteria. The virus lives there 2. Kill them w/ alcohol? Superbugs won't be even needed. W/out our microbiological symbiosis
You might be kind of hoping by now that you have already acquired and recovered from a SARS COV 2 exposure. I AM. This is why artificial inoculants should be RESERVED for high-risk individuals only during pandemics.
a note on my thought evolution. The first time I listened in on Dr. Montagnier's thesis, I understood it, but I didn't believe it. I needed corroborating evidence, and now it has been supplied and is supported by the central principle guiding biology. EVOLUTION. I don't have to be able to sequence DNA or enhanced a pathogen to understand this.
The decision to inoculate the most vulnerable, I still believe was a good one, but we cannot inoculate every living cell on this planet. We cannot inoculate SARS COV 2 out of existence, and we cannot stop it mutating. It is important that we understand our limitations.
Within those limitations is the ability to save lives.
For the vast majority of healthy people, semi-healthy people even, and certainly children ... no matter what the press has you believing with the hi-lighting of outliers, is the innate ability to come contact with SARS COV 2 and build natural immunity. The statistics support this, as does again a basic principle of biological science.
Your very existence supports this.
With a full years worth of data to look at, Sweden now supports this.
Herd Immunity is as applicable to SARS COV 2 as with any other viral pathogen. A healthy individual who acquires contact can and will contribute to herd immunity and offer BETTER protection than one who has simply been 'vaccinated'.

And so ...
Given all I presented you with, I believe (this is called a qualification because I am still gathering knowledge) ...
natural immunity activates a whole inner pharmaceutical of bio-warriors and offers a better defence to variants.
Artificial inoculation gives a narrower protection and promotes/selects for variants that are not affected by the artificial inoculation.
Modern science will be able to keep up to nature.
I am not ladling out health advice or even trying to discourage you (an adult) from getting artificially inoculated ... SPREADS THESE VARIANTS.
I offer this because corporate media/governments are not offering you all the information. Those who are hesitant or downright against getting the jab are not science-denying grandma killers who simply won't step up and do the right thing. More likely they are an ESSENTIAL part of herd-immunity for the vulnerable who get artificially inoculated.
So cool your virtue-tyrant jets, question science, get and stay healthy, study, study, study, and 'trust' nature ... just a little bit ... it ensured your existence in a way science could never match.
Still fan of science but nature will supersede every time.
Let's end with some Jeff Goldblum and Chaos theory.
