A lot of the vaccine-skeptics don't have any skepticism for the people they get information from. Ex: A common reply I get re Vax efficacy is that they know people who have gotten vaccinated and then gotten Covid-19. Clearly true and proves vax have less than 100% efficacy. (1/)

But they don't apply same logic to claims by people they are taking info from. Ex: A central claim from Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most prominent anti-vax people, is actually getting Covid-19 gives you permanent immunity.

Here he is saying it on Rogan's podcast recently:

But we know there are tens of thousands of people right now getting re-infected. I personally know 2 people that have had Covid-19 3 times. He's claiming 100% efficacy for natural illness. Easily checkable, but no one holds him to that claim.

So why would you trust as a primary source someone running around pretending to be an expert making a central claim that is so easily to prove false? And if he's lying about something that easy to check this late, what else is he making up?

Skepticism shouldn't go one way.

I see some people implying this might have just an error he corrected. Not true. Here was a fact-check of an interview full of obviously false claims he did in May 2021, that included this same wrong claim: healthfeedback.org/claimreview/va…
