It feels to me that the virology and vaccination field is mind-numbingly complicated, so most so called hacker objections are from people not even remotely qualified to object, since they only think they understand. Study the field for a decade, then object. Those are the objections we should pay attention to.

I'd be happy to debate with anyone who has even watched an online virology course:

Just spend 25 hours watching videos so we have a common language about how viruses and the immune system works. Doesn't need to take a decade to bump up a person's knowledge above the level of online blogs.

The human immune system is the most complicated biological system we've made any significant progress in understanding. But I would be prepared to listen to a contrarian who's spent several months deep diving the literature. Sadly, I've yet to meet such an individual.

Hackers love to question the truth but refuse to countenance bullshit.

The downvotes here seem to be catching bullshit quite well!

If it’s low quality/troll posts then I agree.

But ignoring high quality criticism is not going to lead you to truth.

I’m afraid on this topic people feel justified in disregarding or it makes them uncomfortable to scrutinize what they did or said.

The bulk of the downvoted comments are literally saying mRNA vaccines cause cancer, claiming there to be mountains of evidence yet not providing any references themselves. That's not "high quality criticism" but dull and uninformed nonsense.

Those aren’t the many I saw.

You posted insane conspiracy theories with no evidence and lots of the generalizations you made are completely contradicted by mountains of real evidence, what did you expect to happen?
