>>13370850>Bruh I dont know if you're being disingenuous at best or malicious at worse.Neither.
>Being head of a division for drugs related to lungs and allergies deosnt make you a vaccine or pandemic expert.He's highly qualified to speak on these issues. If you're definition of expert is exact academic credentials related to virology and pandemics, then I guess he's not an expert, but I'm trusting his judgement as someone with decades of experience in pharmaceutical positions and academic credentials, one of which was as a chief scientist, and his relationship to people in parallel fields.
>If you wanna make shitty comparisons like your bike one; who would you trust to operate on a brain tumor if you had one, an endocrinologist or a neurosurgeon, both went to the same med school, so according to you you'd trust the endocrinologist, no? Ideally, I'd have the neurosurgeon operate on a brain tumor if I had one, but the endocrinologist is someone with at least some knowledge related to it as well, even if there specialty isn't neurology. They both have large pools of overlapping knowledge related to medical practice and the human body.
>Being a glorified pharmacist doesnt make him an authority in pandemics and immune responseWhat do you consider "authority"? Fact-checker articles? Perhaps that special Reuters report painting Yeadon as a deranged anti-vaxxer? This goes back to my original point at the top about him having relevant knowledge.
>I don't believe asymptomatic people can pass on the virusHis argument is that the symptoms of viral infection ARE the vectors of spread. He doesn't say that asymptomatic spread is impossible, only that its a laughably trivial means of viral spread. The belief "Ill until proven guilty" has become the norm as of the pandemic. You may be perfectly healthy, young, and not displaying any symptoms of infection, but you still need to wear a mask, social distance, and get the vaccine as soon as possible. This is not right.
