if they did not call the virus what it WAS.

People who are afraid of a NAME are just stupid. No, worse, they are wilfully ignorant.

The swine flu vaccine was no more or less dangerous than any other flu vaccine. And flu vaccines are simply not dangerous, except perhaps to a few outliers.

It's not 1970. Medical progress actually is a real thing that exists. Modern vaccines of all kinds are safer and more effective than in the past.
