No. Not good at all. The side effects Covid are magnitudes worse than the vaccines. Which is temporary.
60 percent is way too low. People who can not be vaccinated because of autoimmune disorders and the like. Will be at grave risk.

Yup. What the hell is
@nytimes doing giving voice to Peter Doshi? At the very least he's an enabler of the antivaccine movement; at worst, he's an antivaxxer. Indeed, he's even spoken at antivaccine confabs.8 replies 16 retweets 91 likes -
Smearing scientists whose research may complicate your personal opinions or agenda speaks volumes about how much you value actual science.

First, he's not really a scientist, at least not one with any relevant expertise in vaccines. Second, it is not a "smear" to point out that Peter Doshi regularly spreads antivaccine misinformation and, because of that, is widely admired and quoted by antivaxxers.

This is perhaps my favorite example (courtesy of
@skepticalraptor) of Peter Doshi going parroting an antivax line. I mean, for someone who claims to be an "expert" on vaccines, he doesn't even understand how the VAERS database or web browsers work.https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/peter-doshi-vaccine-denier-conspiracy-vaers/ …2 replies 5 retweets 25 likes -

Basically, whether Peter Doshi is antivaccine or not, it's very clear that he likes to use bad science, bad arguments, and cherry picking to demonize vaccines, in particular the flu vaccine and Gardasil.

Logical fallacy used: Ad hominem. I note that you haven't refuted a single argument that
@skepticalraptor has made.1 reply 1 retweet 10 likes
But, hey, if the feathery one is in error in any of his arguments or has in any way misused science, please, show me how with evidence. Unlike Doshi, I might change my mind if sufficient disconfirming evidence and arguments are presented to me.

And, yes, I and quite a few others know who the feathery one really is. I understand why he's using a pseudonym. Even though pretty much everyone knows the real name behind the pseudonym I like to use, I still use it mainly because I like it, sort of like a nom de plume.
