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.

I don't have the time to research and answer, but I would like to hear better anti vax complaints other than the ones acknowledge by official sources (rare deaths due to thrombosis, hearts problems, etc).

I don't have any anti-vax complaints myself, since I think the mRNA vaccines on the measure are pretty good. But I also spent a lot of time researching them, _and_ would not zealously push them because there's a lot about them we still don't know.

I think it's a risk vs benefit calculation, and I feel you don't need to fully understand the vaccine to do a decent analysis. I think "what are the risks now, and what is the possible future risk?". Since I'm not a biologist, I try to read about possible caveats from trustable

Yes, and that's great for you. But until you have done a rigorous investigation, you shouldn't _belittle_ other people for coming to a different conclusion, right?

"Because I asked my doctor and they said so" is the weakest explanation anyone could give for why they berate a whole class of people on-line in my view.

I agree, but that's why I want yo understand better criticisms other than the common antivax ones which are quite easily proven as untrue. Partly because I'm curious, and also because antivax people I see are just generally misinformed.

Much like the people here pushing the vaccine, the people against the vaccine _also_ don't know what they're talking about, but _both_ are what I would call "instinctively correct". They average out to a system that makes reasonable survival decisions.

Some people trust authority, some people don't, and by having both you ensure that you will take a certain amount of action in uncertainty, but not too much.

It's "humanity operating well as a collective decision system", even though everyone involved thinks everyone else is an idiot. And to be fair, everyone _is_ an idiot. But that doesn't change the outcome, which will be that humanity will survive well _regardless_ of the input.
