> An expert opinion based on knowledge of virology and the impact of the vaccine on symptoms that lead to transmission is "making things up" much in the same way the Manhattan project "made up" nuclear weapons.

I don't remember the Manhattan project making any public statements that had an impact on public health?

What kind of a comparison is that?






They didn't make public statements because they were a secret military project. Not sure how that's a gotcha. They were still scientists using mostly untested theory to develop a weapon that certainly had a major public health impact. And other impacts.

Yeah, that's my point.

How is your example at all relevant?


If you can't see how it is relevant then it is pretty clear how you draw medically inaccurate conclusions about stuff that has been well researched.
