Have you the faintest idea what it takes to become a Doctor , especially a Specialist ?
Specialist? I thought you were recommending a GP.
It's funny you ask that, Grumps, as I happen to have visited my GP less than a week ago. It also happens I asked her where she got her degree:
UQ, she said
How long did it take?
Four years, she said, for her MD and then four years of internship or whatever. That's eight years, then they let her loose...... as a GP, which is who you suggested people should see for their immunological advice. Now you're on about specialists. Sorry but you aren't consistent there.

Grumps suggested we ask our GPs, not any of those specialists, for advice including, I presume, on what will happen in the years following an injection. I don't know about you but most people probably don't have access to an immunologist, a virologist, or a vaccine specialist but I can tell you that some of those people will say the opposite to what you said when you spoke for them. I know a biochemist and a pharmacologist who both disagree with you but I suppose they're cranks. I wonder how they got this far in their fields while thinking the earth is flat.
Grumps, did you happen to get your BSc from the public purse at a now-defunct off-campus establishment? UNSW?
