I watched it as well. Standard conspiratorial nonsense positing malevolence where simple incompetence would explain things. Lots of images designed to shock you mixed with groundless speculation, invitations to be In The Know, and religious messaging. Heavy on narrative, light on dispassionate examination of data.
If you don't know what the scary cloggy things are, maybe put them under a microscope. Bring them to people who can tell you what they are and how they formed. "Oooooh look how spooooooky" doesn't count as investigation. Sandy blood. Ok. Are they clots? Shall we maybe talk to a hematologist?
Covid vaccines are not effective or safe imo. They rushed it. There are harmful side effects and people are definitely dying. I conclude it's of more harm than benefit, it sucks, and I don't want it. I don't conclude, however, that there's a vast 50 year old conspiracy coming to fruition to genocide everyone on purpose.
Not everything that sucks is intentionally evil. Some things just suck. Medical technology has lots of examples.
The actual conspiracy, if you need one, was the leveraging of the virus and the vaccine for social engineering. Same way 9/11 was leveraged to pass the Patriot Act and kick off 2 decades of very profitable (for some) war. Actual events are used to advance interests. That's a plausible conspiracy theory imo, and vaccine passport guidelines continue to be discussed, antiprotest legislation is being put through. Yes, it's an actual agenda to eliminate liberty and cement government power. But to say that people with those interests engineered the whole thing from scratch, with the involvement of tens of thousands of people who not only kept quiet but themselves took shots they knew to be lethal...come on. They don't have to be trying to kill you for there to be an agenda. They just want more power and further entrenched control. It's not an exotic or thrilling thing to discover compared to a supposed genocide plot. Theres money to be made. There's institutional capture. There's funding and publication bias. There's compliance partitioning and conditional participation. It's boring and it's real.
The sort of wild speculation in which this film indulges relegates rational criticism to the lunatic fringe in the eyes of everyday dopes. Incorrectly, but it makes normies group Bhattacharya with Alex Jones. It promotes ideological polarism, which kills discussion. That's too bad because the truth is unlikely to be one polar extreme or the other, that the government is totally trustworthy and we should unquestioningly obey everything or that they're in league with Satan and have a secret plan to do us all in. I doubt either of those is the truth.
So I'm damn sure not taking any shots but I'm one of the few antivaxxers I know who doesn't buy into that sort of shock-vid crap. From where I'm sitting, most people are in one extreme camp or the other and neither are rational.
