      This is, unfortunately, a common attitude held by antivaxxers and alt med believers, namely that you have total control over over your health through force of will controlling your behavior. It’s delusional.https://twitter.com/BraveArcanine/status/1231422081696444417 …

      What say you to those who believe that vaccines are not the way to go because of the need for boosters vs actually gaining lifetime immunity. I understand 3rd world nations benefit still. I am 🤔 countries like the US with our advanced medicine and better hygiene standards.

      I ask them if they are an infectious diseases expert explaining their research results, or if they are relaying the content of a national science body. If not, I suggest that they would be better off simply taking what the national science body says

      🤔 when the science body is driven by politics and money it’s always wise to question it...that goes for any body you take counsel from...otherwise you would be a fool.

      Wouldn't make any difference to what I said. You and I are as likely to be "driven by politics and money", but lack the processes and systems that reduce that risk. Unless you are an expert describing your own research, the science body will always be a better bet than yourself

      Even if you are an expert describing your own work, your view can easily be distorted by your personal investment in your own work.😉

          Yes. Your *findings* won't be a better wager than the recommendations of national body, even though it's a good bet that you are best at *describing* your own research
