      Yes. That’s the point. A PhD in Geology does not in any way to qualify a person to declare the safety and efficacy of a vaccine.

          Are these people actually actively working in the in the immunology and virology field, or are they paid schills who used to have real jobs but now work for a “think tank” for 10 times what they were making?

          I think you’ll find that these outliers are no longer actively working and have been corrupted by either money or cognitive decline.

            What antivax “think tanks” are paying 10x a doctor’s salary? And why? There’s not exactly a lot of money in it.

            If money is your motivation, you work for Pharma, not against them.
