Yes, exactly correct.

If the shots were so good and actually protected a person, why the need for enticement?

Even ignoring the fact that basic science (scientific method, multiple tests and iterations not done) and basic math (# of deaths/# of cases) paint a picture of this being recklessly rushed and NOT NEEDED, the enticements alone should have kicked street smarts into high gear.

Street smarts indicate that a con is in play.

I tried to point this out to people and was told point blank, "you are not a doctor, and my doctor says that this is good."

So, they took the shot.

Here's the hard truth:

A con does not work unless the person WANTS to be conned.

Fear was so great that they WANTED to be conned into believing that the vaxx would make their fear go away.

As soon as their doctor (or anyone they trusted) said, "Take it", they did.

I believe that is a key reason why many here did not take the shot. We are after truth. It is incompatible with being conned.

Those who were coerced into taking the shot, did so for other reasons (keep job, etc). I don't believe it is because they were afraid of COVID because if they were, there would be no need for coercion.
