What is dubious about vaccines is that the rate of adverse reactions appears to have been understated, particularly for teenage males. You don't hear much about it in the US, but the EU parliament is getting upset about it. Pfizer even put a press release out a little while back with a longer list of adverse reactions and more disclaimers. The risk/reward doesn't make sense anymore for healthy people, particularly with the new variants.

The fed just directly effects overnight rates and the cost of lending, although with QE they did lower bond and corporate paper rates. The fed can increase bank excess reserves, but they aren't in circulation (M2) as they are gated by underwriting. The M2 supply increase causing much of this inflation (i.e. aside from supply issues) was primarily the increase in government spending and the president with a friendly congress can certainly effect that. i.e. It's loans (all loans, government & others) that increase M2, not excess reserves.
