It's called "making sure we understand how things develop and not flying blind."
But, sheep don't understand ....statistics.
Data and graphs tell the truth, and they don't like to face any truth on Covid, and other vaccines that have saved millions across the globe.
For example, if you are vaccinated in one state, and then in another, your vaccination record is incomplete, so asking people to tell how many vaccines/bossters they've had, or not, is a way to tell at what level of being vaccinated the population is. We need as much data as possible on all vaccines, not just Covid. Just like they ask you about allergies when you go to the doctor. All relevant information is essential to going forward with treatment and evaluations of practices, etc.
F' em. We need to deal with crazy once and for all.
