How do you form your conclusions about Covid, Covid treatments, and the vaccines?
1. Follow the 'experts' on TV
2. Whatever the authorities say is correct
3. Do my own research, including seeking alternate points of view
4. Use logic, reason, and risk-benefit thinking
5. Both #3 and #4
6. Whatever my doctor says
EDIT: My eyes have been opened thanks to Substacks like this, and I have basically become an anti-vaxxer, pending my satisfaction vaccines are properly tested in addition to treatment alternatives.
Since 2020 I have lost all faith in the integrity of the UK NHS and all UK medics that allowed this travesty to unfold - in silence. In spite of most knowing the truth. It was too difficult for them to state reality. Mick.

They didn't want to lose jobs, homes etc. Percentage of brave doctors is shockingly low.
This would be an interesting introspective poll, but the language must be as neutral as possible.
