Rumble and X posts are gloating that she blocked/delisted anti covid vaccine videos on YouTube, and then gets cancer, something the videos tried to warn people of related to vaccines.

I'm not sure what to say about that anymore.

whoa, I believe her son also passed away like ~5 months ago.

An accidental drug overdose on campus at UC Berkeley. One wonders if his mom having terminal cancer was a factor in his overdoing it. And I cannot imagine how news like that would hit a mother with cancer, when the only thing left for her is legacy. Truly tragic.

On both sides probably. One side exaggerates statistics to make their point, and the other wishfully accepts unproven statements to feel better.

I've taken basically all vaccines ever recommended while growing up and traveling, but to say that the covid vaccine was "safe and effective" a year after coming out was a crazy stretch. Why couldn't they just say "we didn't have time to do long term studies, but we think it's fine and worth the risks"? But to say it's safe was a lie IMO and lost the vaccine side a lot of credibility.
