Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Isn’t this guy supposed to have a valid medical degree? I’m a layman and understand how mRNA vaccines work. How can he be so wildly off? Does he understand and not care or is truly stupid?
It's actually not that complicated.
Just to illustrate, let's look at a single facet of Iranian society under their religious totalitarians. They frequently want our technology, but they don't want the creativity that actually creates it, because this liberal creative mindset would inevitably undermine their authority.
Any conservative individual can adopt this conformist style, where they go ahead and absorb "what" and "how" but are far more leery of "why" questions, simply loyally parroting what they think others want them to say while not actually internalizing the lesson material.
So, their education ends up partial. They can still become a doctor though, all that takes is a whole shitload of hard work and some intelligence.
There's always going to be some.
Having a degree doesn't prevent him from being a charlatan.
And in fact, it turns out that being a charlatan can be quite lucrative, probably orders of magnitude more than he makes as a doctor.
As the old saying goes- do you know what they call the person who comes last in medical school? Doctor.
