and others, plus made truly massive claims with no backing up of said claims, and repeatedly used appeal to authority logical fallacies. They also went all cleverclogs, using misdirection to try and subject slide and evade posting any evidence once again, in response to a fairly detailed rejoinder I cast their way. Then, when I backed up my simple statement (the tool they tried to use to slide and evade) about the the efficacy of the AZ vax versus the B.1.351 South African variant with a peer-reviewed scientific article from the NEJM, and also showed that I had a fairly decent basic grasp on viral mutations and the spike-protein/ACE2 binding interaction process, they poofed. At the end of the day, they refused to provide even one link, zero third party validation, and, in so many words, implied I was too stupid to understand the god-like heights they wander in, ie. Reddit groups.

So colour me not a fangirl.
