The “consensus” is defended by “ad hominem attacks” and “arguments from authority,” two long-established fallacies. It never fails.
The consensus is also defended by coercion. Mandating vaccination in order to keep one’s job is certainly coercive. I have no reason to doubt reports of disciplinary action against doctors who use their judgement and prescribe HCQ or Ivermectin. Many doctors certainly display a closed mind when dealing with their patients.
In the end it is a matter of who is in charge of your health. Is it the government/medical/pharmaceutical complex, or is it you? The difference between socialism and freedom could not be clearer.
