4. I think you missed the point.

This is aimed at people who have "done the research" regarding the Covid vaccines, and claim that their "research" supersedes that of actual researchers and experts in the field.

Here's a possible analogy: I claim to have "done the research" on how to fly a private jet, but have no clue when asked which particular panel controls the landing gear. Even so, I insist "my jet, my right" and ask the rest of the world to indulge me as I make my way into the cockpit.

Maybe nothing bad will happen--or maybe I'll crash into an elementary school and kill hundreds of children and staff. But, you know, I should be able to do this, because I've done my own "research."

The fact that you may have a background in aerodynamics, but still can't pass this test, doesn't mean it isn't a valid test for who gets to bash around our airspace.
