He's not Jesus, not infallible, and not anti-vax--as a vaccinologist, he argues for different vaccines...

'Mass infection prevention and mass vaccination with leaky Covid-19 vaccines in the midst of the pandemic can only breed highly infectious variants.'

'Prior to the start of this universal vaccination program (and until today!), no single publication existed that came even close to suggesting that mass vaccination campaigns using non-transmission-blocking vaccines could be successful...'

'in extinguishing a pandemic of a highly mutable virus, let alone if several more infectious variants had already expanded in prevalence.'

'Short-term results from clinical vaccine trials that were conducted on a small subset of a specific target population during a short period of a pandemic caused by a specific SARS-CoV-2 lineage (most notably the original Wuhan strain) cannot even be considered informative...'

'...for vaccine effectiveness of mass vaccination campaigns deployed globally across almost all population segments over a prolonged period of a pandemic trajectory involving several waves of infection caused by several different more infectious viral variants.'

I'll just leave this here, but you seem prepared to engage w/ the arguments....
