      Is there a good article explaining why antibiotic resistance and "vaccine resistance" are not the same— and in fact not that comparable because the mechanisms are different. Equating the two is really really misleading, and yet I see it everyday.

      Here's one article, but people could use more detail! I would really really love to see an article that explicitly takes on all the bogus antibiotic/vaccine "resistance" comparisons that float around and explains why they are wrong and misleading. https://twitter.com/Lance_Crossley/status/1436315081248288778 ….pic.twitter.com/ubpBMC36iR

      Dear reply-folk: please stop explaining to me what you think is the reason. I'm looking for a comprehensive, well-written and informed article to share with *other* people, not asking a question. Someone please write a lengthy article we can all share!

          Yep. We need more long-form articles that address, in detail, the issues raised. There are nice papers (I read them!) but what people need is articles (not threads!) that take on *current* misconceptions, provide explanations *in detail* with sources.https://twitter.com/hyperpape/status/1436335944374923265 …

          Kennedy and Read published a more complete follow up to their 2017 study in 2018 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6304978/ … that i’ve found pretty enlightening.pic.twitter.com/hIxWxhm6Dw

          good article, but first point clearly valid, second one possibly not valid. There is less of an argument for multiplicity of target sites given how narrowly mRNA vaccines are targeting the immunity.

          maybe instead of complaining, you should aggregate the wisdom of the replies and incorporate them into an article... I'm just sayin'...

          as the one thing you want to compare to the other simply does not exist it seems unlikely there is such a thing as a scientific paper about it when politicians make up a term this does not mean what people imagine this could be automaticaly materializes in reality and science
