I forgot to measure the capacitance of your mother!
Seriously though this is basically how any argument on any topic goes on the internet. Simple knowledge is almost always insufficient. Only the totality, not general truths, can deliver the correct answer. An example is "vaccines are good", which is true, but doesn't mean "all vaccines are good" or "this vaccine is good for everyone".

Quite comprehensive but I missed a look into the DC part of the spectrum.
also a big lol, the first part of your description is true, but then you drift off into your antivax agenda like you are an expert on the topic.

was wondering what topic to use as an example and i thought this would perhaps lead you to further my point for me and it has. do tell how being dubious about one vaccine makes a person against all vaccines?
(Old Spike)
It does not necessarily and you are actually making the point I made since the beginning of the covid vax discussion (and on other highly complex scientific issues):
Unless you are an expert (not a politician or blogger) you may have an opinion but it is not of any consequence or significance. I don't think you are.
You either trust the people that developed the vaccines or you don't.

you turned doubt about one vaccine into "antivax agenda", also i am an expert the variance in the structure of protein markers on influenza viruses is what my thesis was on, and also it wouldn't matter if i wasn't an expert since my information is from experts, and anyway my point was about how simple knowledge leads to misunderstanding, which you've somehow taken to mean something about what people say about the covid vaccine. if you have a point, make it about the actual subject, ie about oversimplified understanding of complex systems.
and also trust has nothing to do with what a vaccine does or doesn't do. 4 cognitive fails and one mistake of fact there in the same comment wow, new record for you i think.

As stated, I made my point many a time. I really have nothing to add.
If you actually are an expert (having written a thesis about a more or less related subject does not necessarily make you one, also if you do not work in the field now you are probably not up to date*) there are ways you can voice your concern with other experts (like producing a scientific paper) and you could point to that on here....
* BTW, when writing a thesis at the end of whatever we studied we are (hopefully) a little past mount stupid on the dunning Kruger curve but nowhere near an "expert", that we will hopefully become later in our professional progression.
