A Nobel Prize winner gave a hypothesis about the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Can it be wrong? Why? Develop a deduction from the hypothesis, “Vaccination of COVID-19 can reduce the severity of complications in case of infection.”

Yes, a hypothesis, even if proposed by a Nobel Prize winner, can be wrong. In science, hypotheses are tested through experiments and observations. If evidence contradicts the hypothesis, it is modified or rejected.

Deduction: If the hypothesis is correct, then vaccinated individuals should experience fewer severe complications compared to unvaccinated individuals when infected with COVID-19.
