If you find his latest article objectionable — even though his words are completely in line with the perspective held by non-crank doctors[0] — then you’re probably the kind of person for whom it would benefit the most.

Try to instead give it five minutes[1], digest and understand the content, and rise above the faith-based scientism that is the likely cause for increased anti-vaccination sentiment.

Fairly bold of you to assume I didn't read the article, but anyway:

I've given five minutes to the thought that being an anti-vaxxer in the middle of a pandemic when vaccines are provided to you for free and at the point that only very long term effects can be a concern is comparable to being a jew in nazi Germany, and I still think it is atrocious, sorry.

But I mean, there's only so much you can talk about when "faith-based scientism" is used for vaccines.
