    From the author himself.

    "My 2015 study about chicken viruses shouldn’t be used as a reason to avoid a Covid-19 shot. It’s true that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could evolve, but if anything, that fact is an argument to get vaccinated." Andrew Read

    What a great piece by Andrew Read. Difference between population level and individual level effects. "At every point in the 50-year history of vaccination against Marek’s disease, an individual chicken exposed to the virus was healthier if it was vaccinated."

    In 2015 Andrew Read published an innocuous paper about a poultry disease in , but an alarming uptick in its pageview metrics revealed how his research had been hijacked by vaccine opponents... : The paper:
