There obviously isn't one, that's part of weighing the risks - which we didn't have enough time or data to do for covid and it's vaccines. Part of the whole informed consent thing.

Thankfully we can all now choose, and see better data

You know you have to get COVID to have natural immunity, right? So what should we do, have COVID parties like parents used to have chicken pox parties for their kids?

You're going to get covid. Vaccine or not.

Get the vaccine if you're elderly or have underlying risks, otherwise doing 3 shots a year to stay up to date doesn't look very beneficial anymore.

We didn't know how ineffective the vaccine was in the beginning, but our leaders still said things like "This will protect you. Fully. Everyone needs to have it". I'll provide links if you didn't see any of that going on.

It was a lot more political than it was scientific, which is a huge red flag.

The only right thing to do was to do nothing. All the attacks on freedom we suffered through were evil

Got it. Whenever there is a pandemic, ignore it.

I didn't make a general statement. In this case, none of the attacks on freedom and society were justified

You were basically a slave in 2019, weren't you? In chains and forced to pick cotton. How you suffered.
