As one who has taken three COVID-vaccine injections, as well as the annual influenza shots, I basically believe the science behind the stated safety and benefit of vaccines in general. Still, I feel “science” generally gets used a bit too readily/frequently, especially for political purposes. Also, I'm cautious of blindly buying into (what I call) speculative science, in general.
As disturbing as it sounds, due to increasingly common privatized research for corporate profit aims, even science, and perhaps by extension scientific “fact” has become commercialized. Research results, however flawed, can and are known to be publicly amplified if they favor the corporate product and accurate research results can be suppressed or ignored if they are unfavorable to business interests, even when involving human health.
