I'm not going to derail this in to an argument about vaccines, but I would encourage people not to make this comparison when arguing about bitcoin's energy use. All evidence points to vaccines being safe and effective, just as all evidence points to bitcoin mining using an insignificant amount of electricity and using one of the highest proportions of green energy of any industry.
Even though it was me who instigated it, I agree with you that we shouldn't go there. All I wanted to say was that those in power have the means to get the masses to believe what they need them to believe. That can be that you are sick and need to be cured or that your use of Bitcoin is the reason why polar beers will die out soon. I will stop further comparisons now.
