I started thinking that it might make more sense to have a single thread concerning Covid Vaccine articles and perspectives in general. If it gets a lot of traffic, I might subdivide it a bit more, but thinking it'd be good to start with this. To start things off, I thought I'd start with an article from a website I don't think I've sourced from before, lifesitenews.com. Before we begin, I imagine that someone will chime in saying that mediabiasfactcheck doesn't like them. I know. I'm not that keen on mediabiasfactcheck a lot of the time either. I even decided to make a thread a bit ago with 3 articles from 3 different sites giving reasons why these sites also don't like them. It's here for anyone interested:
It seems every time I put up an article, someone here at USMB posts an article saying that mediabiasfactcheck doesn't like them. Don't get me wrong, mediabiasfactcheck does seem to have -some- points right, but there's also a lot I don't like about mediabiasfactcheck as well. Here are 3...

That being said, I don't know much about Lifesitenews, so I will quote a bit about what
mediabiasfactcheck's article on them says and then make a few comments:
**
In review, LifeSiteNews primarily reports on
anti-abortion,
anti-gay marriage, and pro-Evangelical Christian issues. An example of a pro-Christian story is why
being Christian means traveling with Jesus from Bethlehem to Calvary. LifeSiteNews also has a favorable opinion of former President Trump, as evidenced by this piece:
How Trump brought Christmas back to America. Editorially, every story is right-leaning, including
this story that sources non-credible sources such as
Rush Limbaugh and
CNSNews. In general, story selection favors the Christian right and denigrates the left, while not always being factual in reporting.

If what they say is true on this, then I'll say that I am pro abortion, pro gay marriage, not a Christian (I'm a Pantheist) and have always disliked Trump. When I perused the article below, I didn't see them getting into any of those subjects, so I think we're in the clear. Now, on to quoting a bit from one of their articles:
**
April 7, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Dr. Michael Yeadon, Pfizer's former Vice President and Chief Scientist for Allergy & Respiratory who spent 32 years in the industry leading new medicines research and retired from the pharmaceutical giant with “the most senior research position” in his field, spoke with LifeSiteNews.
He addressed the “demonstrably false” propaganda from governments in response to COVID-19, including the “lie” of dangerous variants, the totalitarian potential for “vaccine passports,” and the strong possibility we are dealing with a “conspiracy” which could lead to something far beyond the carnage experienced in the wars and massacres of the 20th century.

Their full article is here:
‘Look out the window, and think, “why is my government lying to me about something so fundamental?” Because, I think the answer is, they are going to kill you using this method. They’re going to kill you and your family.’
