I’m a Covid conspiracy theorist
It's official — I am a Covid conspiracy theorist. Aren't we all, at this point? When I used to share my forbidden opinions about the virus and the vaccines, acquaintances called me crazy and friends thought I was joking. They'd cry that surely I don't really believe that the vaccines could affect my fertility, or that government officials wouldn't just allow us to return to normal if we all got the vaccine, or that Covid hospitalization and death numbers could be artificially inflated. But with every new admission from the CDC, every study and piece of reportage, we "conspiracy theorists" are vindicated. And everyone who mocked our distrust of public health officials is eating crow. I wasn't always so obstinate about the pandemic.
