“Your article is an immense help in generating meaningful discussions with others I care about while helping to avoid the polarizing aspect of the times in which we live.”

Re: Nies’ Covid Column
The recent article by J. Dirk Nies, titled “Increased Risk of COVID-19 Associated with Prior Vaccination,” aims to provide helpful information, yet I found it a somewhat misleading mixture of science and opinion.
