And let me tell you why I think this is false.  If that doctor is intubating patients rather than treating them with a host of effective regimens is asking for a malpractice lawsuit.  One study indicated that intubation was no more effective than nasal O2. See it here.

But let me suggest you talk to the families of those that have had serious, life-changing complications or died from the vaccine if they would do it all over again.  Calling people idiots for making a personal health care decision different than your is not an effective argument.  Remember, you are asking people to participate in a large human trial of an experimental vaccine for a disease with a mortality rate of 0.3%, the vast majority of which happened to people over age 65 and with two or more co-morbidities.  If you are in that group I would agree, and have stated repeatedly, that it is worth the risk and if I were in that group I would have been first in line.  But if you are younger and healthy, this virus is not a significant risk and you may not want to take the chance of having an adverse reaction or worse.
