...like not even knowing how to tie your shoes dumb. Not knowing left from right dumb. Not knowing you need to drink water to survive dumb. These people are truly stupid. They'll still invent new reasons as to why Novavax will in fact kill everyone on the planet or how it's some great conspiracy which alien Reptilians and pharmaceutical companies are using it to turn us all into gay communists with dark skin or some other nonsense. There's always going to be a portion of the population we can't connect with and at this point it's pointless to really care about them. Dumb is dumb...just be content knowing these kind of people are able to cross the street without causing chaos.
I think this vaccine has more importance to the world in regards to distribution logistics. At this point, it's not the crack baby anti-vax conspiracy freaks with 7 brain cells left who we need to worry about. Those kind of people are too far gone to bother with. Instead, vaccines like this may become useful tools in vaccinating the developing world or nations where they may not have great access to sophisticated refrigeration (Mongolia or Bolivia, for example, where much of the population lives in rural areas). The more people vaccinated who live in harsher environments the better, because it means fewer chances of concernable mutations occuring.
Not sure if all these anti-vax people are dumb, they're more or less paranoid of government. I do know a couple doctors that are hell bent against mRNA vaccines, as they don't know the long term risks, 10, 20 years down the road. A lot of the anti-vax folks are afraid of the mRNA vaccines.
...
These "Doctors" should lose their license. If they don't understand enough about how vaccines work and how mRNA works to know this is a nonsensical fear, then they shouldn't be practicing medicine.
The mRNA "stuff" itself breaks down within days, any effect it has on you is done at that point. The ONLY remaining effects are from the vaccine's influence on your immune system through responding to the resulting spike protein and that is functionally identical to any other vaccine.
That being said, I have not heard that particular viewpoint from any MDs.
