. . . does not care about the individual, just the masses, so they will promote something even if a percentage of the population suffers, if there is a benefit to the majority.
Sounds like war.
. . . otherwise they wouldn't have demanded legal protection in case something happens. . . .
And that is nothing new in the case of vaccines. While Canada may not have (or had, I wasn't bothered with doing a deep dive on related legislation) a specific law in place that indemnifies vaccine producers from liability, the contractual arrangements for procuring vaccines will usually include an indemnity clause (the manufacturers request and the government agrees because they know that is the only way the system will work). It didn't start with Covid-19 vaccines; if one looked into it the same would be true for the annual flu vaccine, the many immunizations that every child gets (or at least the children with sensible parents - my bias is showing) and even some of the one off, special authorization vaccines that soldiers have been occasionally jabbed with (I know - I had a copy of the contract on my desk before getting the jab). However, this pandemic may have been the good kick in the arse that the Canadian Government needed to institute (like a lot of countries) a more formal arrangement for a "pan-Canadian Vaccine Injury Support Program".
