14. Who is "they?"

I make a point of getting my information from the primary scientific literature, and even when doing so I do not suspend critical thinking.

Almost all of the major scientific publications have made Covid related papers open sourced.

Scientific articles almost always includes references, rather than vague evocations of "they."

While recent reports do suggest that the majority of breakthrough cases are represented by variants, they are still decidedly rare.

The design of the RNA vaccines, which is extremely elegant, now that the lipid infrastructure has been built, will assuredly allow for rapid adjustments to address variants of concern.

Variants arise of course largely in unvaccinated people, and given that the elevation of antivaxxers by the media increases the fraction of the general public that embraces stupidity it is unhealthy to denigrate the value of vaccinations.
