People truly don’t understand the difference between scientific debate in the community and in science journals, compared to show for media? You can televise the science and give accurate data to anyone watching, or a verbal fight for wrestling media style ratings.

You don’t elevate your position by diminishing someone else’s. If RFK is equivalent to a “Jerry Springer” guest, then you should easily dunk on him. Go prove that theory.

“Among 48,344 working-aged Cleveland Clinic employees, those NOT ‘up-to-date’ on c-19 vaccination had a lower risk of c-19 than those ‘up-to-date’. The current CDC definition provides a meaningless classification of risk of c-19 in the adult population.” medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
