Nobody wants to get sick. But does it worth living in a cyberpunk dystopia because of this? There was never a discussion about any of the this. The ruling powers just unilaterally, without consultation or letting any way for the people to address this made policies that basically closed people into their homes and can force them to take whatever they want to insert into people.
I do not want any authority to have this power, especially one that is ruled by people who doesn't have our interests in mind. I remind you that this is coming from the same crowd that worked on reducing standards in banking, food industry etc. to basically feed people junk and cause mass harm for good profits.
The Long Read: In 1972, a British scientist sounded the alarm that sugar – and not fat – was the greatest danger to our health. But his findings were ridiculed and his reputation ruined. How did the world’s top nutrition scientists get it so wrong for so long?
www.theguardian.com
The reason why sugar replaced fat was based on a badly done research, that nobody cared about to replicate. Not to mention there were research into sugar's effects financed by the sugar industry. When they found out that the rats acted weirdly due to sugar, they just cut the funding. And nobody decided to look into it for decades, because muh experts said science is settled.
In 1965, the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) secretly funded a review in the New England Journal of Medicine that discounted evidence linking sucrose consumption to blood lipid levels and hence coronary heart disease (CHD). SRF subsequently funded animal research to evaluate sucrose’s CHD risks...
journals.plos.org
A study comparing conventional rats fed a high-sugar diet to those fed a high-starch diet suggested that sucrose consumption might be associated with elevated levels of beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme previously associated with bladder cancer in humans. SRF terminated Project 259 without publishing the results. The sugar industry did not disclose evidence of harm from animal studies that would have (1) strengthened the case that the CHD risk of sucrose is greater than starch and (2) caused sucrose to be scrutinized as a potential carcinogen.
The way vaccinations are being rolled out is basically shameful, a for profit product is being promoted for free. And criticism of said product is banned. It would be like the Coca Cola company making drinking a bottle of coke every day advisable by corrupting the FDA by pointing to some badly sourced document how people who are not drinking Cola are sad. Also countries basically decide that what kind of Sodas they accept as their happy fizzy drink pass.
The Swine/Bird flu a decade ago was eerily similar, with vaccinations that were weird and death rates that never materialized, but the media hype was not there. The WHO even redefined what a pandemic was before that.
Contrast these two documents:
Literally WHO said:
An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness. With the increase in global transport, as well as urbanization and overcrowded conditions, epidemics due the new influenza virus are likely to quickly take hold around the world.
Literally WHO said:
A disease epidemic occurs when there are more cases of that disease than normal. A pandemic is a worldwide epidemic of a disease. An influenza pandemic may occur when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity. With the increase in global transport, as well as urbanization and overcrowded conditions in some areas, epidemics due to a new influenza virus are likely to take hold around the world, and become a pandemic faster than before. WHO has defined the phases of a pandemic to provide a global framework to aid countries in pandemic preparedness and response planning. Pandemics can be either mild or severe in the illness and death they cause, and the severity of a pandemic can change over the course of that pandemic.
That was pretty useful trying to set up the bird flu scare of the late 00s. I remember doomposting on TV how this thing from an Asian Wet market will kill all of us if don't get vaccinated with these rushed products.
If you want a nice conflict of interest at the hearth of the issue, check this:

Two NGOs linked to Bill Gates (The one named after himself, the other is GAVI a group where NGOs and big pharma meets to sell more vaccines), who is in general, linked to profiting from vaccinations are among the biggest founders of the organization. Bill Gates is not a head honcho, but you can see that having a WHO chief who was working for GAVI which is a foundation financially tied to Bill Gates' NGO. May have his judgement clouded by money and connections.
Overall, the media hype... Just imagine anything that could kill people and you would get sad sob stories in the media about Wild Racoons killing people. People would be eventually scared shitless of racoons. Does those people die from the Racoons? Sure! Are they statistically worth the panic? No.
Not to mention imagine if the anti Racoon agenda cooked the books and made sure that hospitals could get more money by hating on racoons. Also doctors are bound by their monopoly licensing agencies. University professors are bound to the status quo acceptable opinions because their livelihood depends on it. Doctors only exist nowadays to sell you branded pharmaceutical products. Just look at the Opiate crisis in America for example. They knew that it is addictive, because they are selling heroin basically and they still did it.
The whole situation is a mess, and somebody is making big money from this. And they are laughing at us, not with us.
Bonus point: They didn't stop undocumented mass migration, but they sure didn't let law abiding citizens to move around. If the disease was that serious they would simply close the borders and not let randos who were never vaccinated in their lives against anything just walk around.

The Experts back then could just decide who to sterilize because Science TM said so. I mean just trust the experts.
