I actually had an argument with two people over the fact that the jab batches were different from one another and that some of the batches were placebos. They insisted that everyone got the exact same jab (according to the particular brand).

I even pointed out that this was an experiment and that all experiments have a control group, so naturally, some would get a placebo. No dice. I couldn't convince them otherwise.

These weren't stupid people, either. One was an engineer and the other was a retired high-ranking military officer that I have known since high school.
