The fact that Fauci used a bio weapon to kill millions around the globe is a huge crime. Your vaccine did nothing but spread the disease faster... who gives a shit about the rest. People did not need to suffer because of the mad scientist Dr. Fauci and even Harris would have  had to arrest him.

I think it was important that you pointed the source the author used because it was definitely questionable as a reader. Alongside the other comments, I agree that this source is a platform where individuals can post their opinions or claim without clear evidence, which is important to determine credibility. Thank you for pointing out the media the author used a source!

The claim that Fauci created a weapon that killed millions and the vaccine just made things worse is inaccurate and misguiding. This claim was posted by someone who has no credentials or other sources to support them and their information they are spreading.

Fauci did not create COVID-19 as it was first discovered in China in December of 2019. Written in an article from the World Health Organization, it's found that the virus was most likely transferred from an animal to a human.

Looking at the Benefits of Getting Vaccinated from the CDC, it says that the vaccines did help protect your health, rather than thinking vaccines made everything worse. The vaccines have shown to reduce risk of critical illness from COVID-19 by 70% within the first 2 months after vaccination. It has significantly brought down the amount of people hospitalized by this virus and overall the vaccine did more good than harm.

The claim that the COVID-19 vaccine "did nothing but spread the disease faster" is false. Scientific studies and public health data show that the vaccine significantly reduced the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death. The main issue in the United States wasn't that the vaccine was ineffective -- it was that too many people chose not to get vaccinated, which weakened the country's pandemic response.

As the New York Times Magazine put it:
"American vaccination rates never approached the levels of peer nations -- and the problem wasn't just the anti-vaccine right."
 

This quote is key. The article highlights that vaccines were not the issue -- the real issue was that too many Americans chose not to take them, or delayed getting boosted. In countries with higher vaccine uptake, COVID-related deaths and hospitalizations were much lower. The United States experienced more deaths largely because a sizable portion of the population refused or delayed vaccination.

The COVID vaccine has been a hot topic of discussion since before we ever found one. COVID was unlike anything we've ever seen in the modern era and health professionals were in a rush to pump out a vaccine to get things back to normal. They were able to come up with a vaccine to get us back to normal life but some people questioned if a vaccine could be made that quickly and be trustworthy. Many people came up with conspiracies that the government was controlling through the vaccine. The National Library of Medicine dove into some of these conspiracies and proved every one of them wrong. “We identified 637 COVID-19 vaccine-related items: 91% were rumors and 9% were conspiracy theories from 52 countries. Of the 578 rumors, 36% were related to vaccine development, availability, and access, 20% related to morbidity and mortality, 8% to safety, efficacy, and acceptance, and the rest were other categories. Of the 637 items, 5% (30/) were true, 83% (528/637) were false, 10% (66/637) were misleading, and 2% (13/637) were exaggerated.” The mayo clinic also phrased it nicely “Misinformation is often a mix of true and false ideas. COVID-19 myths are no different. As new information comes out, not everyone learns about it at the same time. And a person may not know something they learned is false or may not remember it exactly.” 

My conclusion is that people reacted poorly to the vaccine because we've never seen one made so quickly but we've also never had the technology like we do today. It's easier to create new medicines and it's even easier to spread misinformation with social media.
