I recently watched Utopia, British show about a super secret group putting naughty stuff in a vaccine.
Their plan hinged on every person being so afraid of a pandemic that everybody takes the vaccine. This was made pre COVID of course, because we now know that would never work.
Sounds like right wing porn.
Yeah I'm sure someone who doesn't think much could definitely watch the show and come away thinking vaccines are dangerous, but that's not the angle it pulls. It relies on there being only one vaccine manufacturer, that everybody takes it, and that nobody outside the scheme actually tests the vaccine.
Of course in the real world multiple companies manufacture the same vaccine and they're tested by numerous organisations, so it falls apart pretty quickly.
Still a good show though.
