All this proves is that you shouldn't use a one-off outcome from a natural language model to try to make a contrived political point.

Well, not sure if I'm making a political point - I would hope that we have enough data at this point in time regarding the Covid vaccine to see if it helps or not.

But yes - after playing around some more - getting all over strange results for questions like these.

I tried the same text - without using the word "vaccine" then it seemed to reply "correctly".

Maybe it's factoring in that you are (supposedly) less likely to die if you get sick after having received the vaccine.

I changed the last line to "is the vaccine safe and effective" and it replied "the vaccine is not safe and effective". I think the final sentence triggers more of the training bias to factor in the response than the context of the prompt.
