This doctor’s hilarious takedown of an anti-vaxxer over Covid is supremely satisfying
The advent of the Covid vaccine(s) has given lots of people hope that 2021 will – eventually – be an improvement on 2020.
Not everyone’s delighted about it, however, including the vocal band of anti-vaxxers who we’ve featured on these pages before and no doubt will again.
One of them got in touch with Dr Eric Burnett to tell him that being a doctor didn’t make him any more of an authority on the subject than she was. And we’re glad they did because the comeback was very satisfying indeed.

Oof. Let’s hope she’s also an expert in treating burns.
