There are actually a lot of doctors that will do just that if it means that they can sell some books/get funding. I think back to all those doctors that would be paraded out to say things like cigarettes were safe.

There has always been conmen (and women) that are willing to say anything for a buck. That is why science requires double blind tests whose results are repeatable by other scientists/doctors.
Im not sure what you are talking about here. The internet is a vast place and it is impossible for me to guess what it could be that you mean.
You say zero accountability like it is a bad thing (which I agree zero accountability is bad) but then make it seem like people blaming Trump are out of line, because everywhere is having a spike (because winter).
Trump stopped the masks being sent out to all the citizens by the post office early on, and played down the dangers. And even if he didn't actively help the spread of it early on in our spreading of the virus, Trump himself understood at one point that the buck stops with the POTUS.

Then in April he started pushing his potential domestic terrorists into a summer long protest of any sane government response to the pandemic.

Then in June he had enough and started hosting super spreader events for his cult.

And so many more examples of the man with the most powerful megaphone and a digital army pushing his agenda actively harming our nation's ability to sanely combat this virus.
Im not a doctor and don't know enough to answer this. But I do see the problem with being able to say you have never taken the flu vaccine, and that more often than not it failed. Because those points are contradictory. You can't know it failed if you never taken it.
The thing I do understand about the vaccines though is that it doesn't necessarily stop you from getting the virus, but it does help your system to keep it from getting as severe of a case if you do.
And this vaccine has been being developed for decades. Science builds from all the science done before it.
My wife is scheduled to take it this week, and I couldn't be more relieved once she has. This virus is very real, and very dangerous.
I hope you and your family keep healthy and safe.
