Or maybe trying to make their point? More specifically, "...for this reason, etiquette generally discourages the use of all caps when posting messages online. While all caps can be used as an alternative to rich-text "bolding" for a single word or phrase, to express emphasis, repeated use of all caps can be considered "shouting" or irritating."

This is subjective and IMHO, the OP wasn't shouting.

I can only add my limited experience here.

I took my second dose around the end of February.

I don't know what will happen in two or ten years from know. I also don't know if some drunk is going to plow into me or if I slide off the snowy road.

I've been stuck with more vaccines than probably most here ( flyboy may be an exception) Typhoid sucked, Anthrax(not USDA approved in 1991) was interesting.

I guess I look at this as is Merck, AZ, Moderna and all the others going to release a bunch of poison upon Humanity?

But McDonalds served hot coffee......

Dr. Fauci was giving out honest science-based information relying on the best available knowledge at any given time. When new facts and additional data became available, he updated his guidance. Unlike many, his advice was based on the best science known at the time, not on politics. I think he has done an exemplary job.
I used Dr. Fauci just an example. Use ANY expert in lieu of his name and the assertion is the same. I have made the point over and over, in multiple threads that this is novel and we don't know what we don't know. The politics are out there whether we like it or not...I don't think it has a place in the COVID world, but it is what it is. And yes, I think he has done a good job, but my point still stands.
