tldr: B-school psychologist tries to disabuse anti-vaxxer friend, not through
reason, but having friend explain *how* pandemic can be overcome without
vaccines. Friend flails at this task, and b-school psych-boy pats himself on
the back even though friend doesn't change his beliefs.
editorial: Most people agree psych is bunkum, but b-school psych is a
particularly insidious strain of (verbose) artifice building.

The NYT opinion piece also cites a lot of psychology research like [1, 2]. The readers may decide if this is "bunkum".
