What percentage of doctors are unvaccinated? Or is there atleast a number or some reporting on doctors getting fired for refusing vaccinations?
>I would take a different position, like "what do these highly qualified health care workers understand that I don't?"
Examples?
- mikeyouse 5y agoIt’s literally the dumbest line of logic and my barely literate neighbor justifies his antivax status with the same theory. “What do the doctors who have declined the vaccine know that I don’t” Even though over 99% of practicing doctors and something like 99.9% of hospitalists are vaccinated, they hold up that 1/1,000 as some sort of “truthsayer”. If 999 experts in a field told you they trusted something and 1/1,000 said they didn’t —- you’d have to be an absolute fool to blindly follow the 1 and I'm a bit surprised how common this argument is on HN.
- claytongulick 5y agoWell, I personally know three and have seen many videos of others who feel that the risks outweigh the benefits for healthy people who have natural immunity. So, that's more than one.
- mikeyouse 5y agoJust nonsense. “Natural immunity” is another one of those amazing shibboleth words for those who don’t understand probabilities. It’s kind of amazing how innumerate most antivax people are.
- CryptoPunk 5y agoCan you elaborate on what your problem is with the term "natural immunity"?
- Spooky23 5y agoDoctors are just people, and like other people, a minority are idiots or feel they are invincible.
