If you followed the Science™, you got the 2-dose regular series and then a booster sometime around when Delta was circulating or before people realized Omicron was exactly what the S. African doctors said it was - mild.
I don't fault people for taking the shot. They were lied to. They trusted people and institutions we absolutely rely on and have trusted for years to be working on our behalf. We didn't realize they were corrupted this badly and many still don't get it.
And truthfully, many did in fact benefit from the vaccines. They're not nearly as safe or effective as was advertised, but if you were elderly with some of these major health issues, the vaccines still were a net benefit. They undoubtedly saved lives in the highest risk groups. In the young and healthy populations, that analysis changes. I'm not sure there was a clear winner weighing risk vs benefit here, we simply have too much obfuscation to properly assess either. Too much lying and too much uncertainty with how much they lied.
