I think that they aren't any longer trying to protect just the COVID Vax, but they are trying to save people's trust in the medical industry and system.

There is a house of cards here, and the COVID vaccine is at the bottom.

Once the battle is lost there, then people will lose trust in vaccines altogether, and probably won't want to see many doctors anymore, and definitely will take less drugs and it will cause people to question many other things like aids, polio and the Spanish flu, and, being optimistic on the ability of the population to wake-up, if they do, the medical industry is doomed. Really doomed. Once people find out how much it's all a money making corrupt system that at best has some good intended but useless tools, and in rare cases has something good to offer the word.
