> But then they apply that label to all postings of the story, even ones who were sharing it with the subtext of "Pfizer is corrupt" rather than "don't get vaxxed".

Not getting a vaccine because the producer is corrupt seems logical to me. What am I missing? The average person has almost no power in evaluating these vaccines and relies almost entirely on trust.



It is only logical if you assume that the producer is the only source of information that can or can not be trusted.

That is not reality. There are many sources of information supporting the same claim even if an important one of them (the manufacturer) can not be trusted. An untrustworthy manufacturer can still make a good product.


You don't think "The public safety problem of supporting this corrupt company" can be a bigger problem than "The health risk of not taking a vaccine"? I don't believe that's true in this case, but I also don't believe I get to make that decision for everyone.
