And what’s the point of the challenge?

To see whether people who push the vaccine have taken the time to understand the consequences, or if they are actually just randomly doing so because they read something on the internet. Exactly the same as the inverse test you might do for someone pushing anti-vaccine sentiment.

idk is this gonna be asking me to cite studies or obscure technical details that are irrelevant to whether it works or not, or just stuff that actually should be general knowledge?

Strictly technical details, and only those that implicate our knowledge of whether or not it is safe to receive. It would include things like knowing all of the things that have and have not been tested for safety, the history of vaccine safety, the protocol design, etc.

Why? When virtually every (credible) medical professional around is pushing the vaccine, I think you can trust that. Are you forgetting about credibility here?

My entire career is basically about repeatedly discovering that 99% of people who work in technical professions have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. So no, credibility counts for absolutely nothing. Most historical consensuses proved to be wrong or unfounded.

It is always critical to independently verify before zealously advocating, otherwise you really shouldn't be zealous.

I get it. I do. But not everyone is even remotely like you, and you are fully aware of that I'm sure. People believe in God. Where's the proof? Understand?

Look, I'm not telling anyone to do the research. I'm telling people who haven't done the research that they shouldn't call people "dumbass" for doing or not doing something.

Nobody has to "be like me", but if they're not willing to take the time to verify the science, then why are they pushing it? It is so trivial to look at history and see that administrative consensuses are often just flat-out wrong. So you _have_ to verify first.

If you don't want to verify first, then don't be an advocate for or against something. Otherwise you're just amplifying the noise, and you have done nothing for the signal.
