 It is amazing how many people have told me that their doctor (never named) told them not to get the #covid #vaccine because they (the doctor) have been seeing "too many people who got sick from it."

In case you're not a natural skeptic, people who tell you this are lying. They have invented a fictional doctor into whose notional mouth they are putting their own crank opinions. It's a way to commit the "appeal to authority" fallacy even when there is no authority.
