A lot of beliefs around the vaccines are like religious belief

Aaron Siri: "I think the word belief is apt and I will tell you that is a lot of what I see in this arena about vaccines. There's a lot of beliefs around the product and they really are in many instances like religious belief. People get upset. They get angry sometimes when you say things about vaccines that they think are right or they think they're wrong because they don't really have, in my experience, folks get upset in depositions because I depose lots of different medical professionals and when they don't have a knowledge base to draw on, they don't have the facts, the data themselves, they just believe it, then they can only draw on their emotion to respond. They can't draw on their intellect. And that creates some of these more interesting moments and depositions, in my opinion. You can bring on a whole litany of folks who are medical professionals who up until the moment in time when they'd said something against the grain about these products were lauded in their profession, considered experts, but cutting across on this issue is very problematic. Car manufacturers do a very good job protecting their product. They have billions of dollars every year. They put that money into PR campaigns with Fifth Avenue firms to promote their cars, to make sure that good things are said about them. And then when the headline comes out about a car having this or that issue, they go into...
The pharmaceutical companies do the same thing. They're smart, it's just good business. They spend billions of dollars every year promoting their products, they have a kiddie, they have PR firms, but they just do it through, their chosen method is basically to do it through folks who are viewed as experts and trusted professionals out there. It's not nefarious, it's just the way it works in the sense that they hold conventions, they hold meetings, they have symposium, you know, they're, they love the products. I mean, your typical pediatrician, I think is a good person. They, they don't, they just don't know. They don't, they've never looked at the clinical trial data. I've deposed pediatricians who've gone their whole career. Never looked at the package insert one time. No clue. In fact, I don't think I've ever deposed a pediatrician who knew anything about the clinical trials of these products or any, or any of that. So they, yeah, you know, they're going through the day. They trust what, and the truth is, is that how could they get through their day without it? They open the physician's desk reference guide, there's a million things they gotta do every day, diagnose and look at, right? And so they get through their day by just following what the guidance provides. It's similar in this product, with regards to these products, except that they really just don't realize the complete imbalance in how these products are operating in the real world. That started slowly in the 80s with the immunity and has just, it's just gone, it's just really gone wild in my opinion, over the decades."
