    Here’s a common antivax trope, the claim that vaccines are misrepresented by doctors and advocates as being 100% safe and 100% effective. No one claims that.🙄https://twitter.com/Simon__Jordan/status/1359638087131926528 …

    I answered the question . We know the risk, we willingly take it. People do not known the risk of covid Vax, or other Vax for that matter. They believe it's 100% safe, no risk, cure all, miracle of science. People should be made aware of the risks, no matter how small.

        And...here it comes. He labors under the delusion trust it’s easy to treat diseases like #COVID19 and that #hydroxychloroquine and #Ivermectin are cures. They’re not. HCQ doesn’t work and ivermectin is completely unproven likely doesn’t work either.🙄https://twitter.com/Simon__Jordan/status/1359641524900933638 …

        Most diseases is easily treatable. No need for any vaccine today with hygiene and therapeutics. No need for a covid Vax either. Ivermectin and HCQ are wonderfully effective therapeutics and prophylaxis.

        Nor are any drugs or medical procedures--which people seem to understand and accept. Being critical based on lack of 100% is a red herring argument.

        When I showed him peer-reviewed studies he claimed that all science is corrupt & bought. He then showed me a “study” by James “Lyin” Weiler. 🤦‍♂️

        So more of the usual. Anti-vaxxer makes a Strawman argument by falsely assertioning the medical community claims vaccines are completely perfect, when they don't make such a claim. Soon he'll probably follow up with a Nirvana Fallacy by citing the imperfection of vaccines.
