So basically you have a gut feeling that you feel very passionately, but that we have no way of evaluating.

It might be just as likely that zero of the people in such a position took the vaccines for all we know. How is this somehow more enlightened than the idiocracy that you are decrying?

Ignoring that most, like Trump, just outright admitted it, simple logic dictates that reality.

When something has overwhelming scientific and medical evidence in its favour, and the alternative are a bunch of high school dropout conspiracy nuts cheered on by simpletons like Joe Rogan, odds overwhelmingly lean towards the connected and rich going in one direction. Like, this is so blatantly obvious that I find your scepticism laughable.

You revert to calling names... It's a clear sign of losing imho.

Oh and this picture proves your whole story is, what others here have already pointed out, your "gut feeling" promoted by you as the "science".

PHDs take less vaccines.

Checkmate.

So if trump said it, it must be true?

The rest of what you said could be translated to: "I believe it was such a good idea, all the rich and powerful must have done it".

How is this not a gut feeling?

My skepticism is solely for your argument, not that these people did or did not take the vaccine, which is something that I consider basically unknowable without a lot of leaps of faith.

Edit: in fact, here's my equally unprovable assertion: most people got the vaccine because they didn't want to lose their jobs. Rich and powerful people don't have to worry about that. Therefore fewer of them got the vaccines.
