I base all of my complex life decisions on what some celebrity's friend's cousin's daughter's next door neighbor tells me. Oh, I forgot, then I pray on it and think about the decision that would make me most comfortable, rather than seeking out the people with the most knowledge and experience in the subject and going with what the most accurate scientific data shows. I mean, you can't take this stuff lightly. Not when we are talking about our balls...

I share your doubt that Ms. Manaj spent hours combing through JAMA, The BMJ, or The Lancet and comparing double blind clinical trials to come to her conclusion.
Funny, as part of my grad program I had to sign up for a couple of research journals, one being JAMA. So I get, every day or two, the latest articles and studies regarding COVID-19 and other issues. I can't say I read them all, and I do sometimes see some of the clinical design and statistical analysis as gobbly gook, but I can parse out information and know how to interpret the results and conclusion sections pretty well.
Somehow, I do not see Nicki Manaj or other vax hesitant people as sitting down to digest that information.
