I think this is a blatant political ploy. It has nothing to do with vaccine efficacy and everything to do with Paxton’s calculation that catering to those who have fallen for antivax misinformation will put him in a stronger position than accepting the science and rejecting the misinformation.

Despite the efforts of professional antivaxxers to convince everyone that conservatives are a bunch of scientifically illiterate yahoos, most of us actually are pro-science and pro-vaccine. However, that impression of conservatives as anti-science kooks is politically very harmful.

Thank you for this and all of your other posts regarding COVID. Your comments are a breath of fresh air.

Some time back you recommended three textbooks regarding cell biology and biochemistry. I got those from my library and am trying to get through them. In addition to new ideas and concepts, they are confirming what had learned long ago about vaccines and immunology in HS and undergraduate college classes.

Thank you for your recommended reading and for your informative posts.

And those who fall for Pfizer ads are the real yahoos.

That’s Nuremberg 2.0.

Are your bags packed for New Zealand yet?

Yeah, but you're a liberal troll. And you're the one trying to convince people that opposition to the jabs is rooted in superstition.

There are three reasons it doesn't work.

1) The opposition to the jabs is from MDs and PhDs.

2) Most people know someone personally, or have a family member, who was hurt by the jabs. "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes" only gets people mad.

3) You're a lying Dingbat.
