You mean his qualified professional opinion
I mean people from MIT have opinions that can be based on many things. BTW what exactly is he qualified in?
Here are his areas of interest from his own page.
Areas of Interest
Food Supply Chain Analytics and Sensing Initiative (FSAS)
Supply Chain, Logistics and Revenue Management Optimization
Health Systems
Approximation Algorithm to Multistage Stochastic Optimization Models
Data-driven Algorithms
Stochastic Optimization
Combinatorial Optimization
Risk Management
Others may have unqualified opinions. He doesn't. He has knowledge and years of experience.
Really?
How does his expertise relate exactly... He is not a medical doctor, nor medical scientist. He is a part of Sloan School of Management that is affiliated with MIT, not really MIT, where he is a professor of management. Here is his past experience...
He received a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Tel-Aviv University (Israel) in 2001, and a PhD in Operations Research from Cornell University in 2005. Levi spent almost 12 years in the Israeli Defense Forces in the Intelligence Wing and was designated as an Extra Merit Officer.
I'm a highly experienced pilot for 40+ years, so I think that makes me an expert too in the field of vaccines.
Hi. My name is Retsef Levi, and since 2006 I’ve been a faculty member at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have more than 30 years of experience as a practitioner and an academic in using data analytics to assess and manage risk, particularly in the context of health systems and health policies, as well as the management of safety and quality of manufacturing of biological products
I’m filming this video to share my strong conviction that at this point in time all COVID-19 mRNA vaccination programmes should stop immediately. They should stop because they completely fail to fulfil any of their advertised promises regarding efficacy. And more important they should stop because of the mounting and indisputable evidence that they cause an unprecedented level of harm, including the death of young people and children.
I personally became concerned with the vaccine safety around the middle of 2021, when it became known that the mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart.
Since myocarditis is known to be hard to diagnose I was very concerned that it will not be detected by the existing vaccine safety surveillance systems. Motivated by that, we decided to analyse the Israel national EMS [emergency services] data to see if there are any signals of increased out-of-hospital adverse events.
We detected an increase of 25% in the cause ‘with cardiac arrest’ diagnosis among ages 16-39 in the first half of 2021, exactly when the vaccination campaign in Israel was launched. A smaller increase was also detected in the older ages. Moreover, we also detected a statistically significant temporal correlation between the number of the Pfizer vaccine doses administered to this population and the number of EMS calls with cardiac arrest diagnosis.
By now I believe that the cumulative evidence is conclusive and confirms our concern that the mRNA vaccines indeed cause sudden cardiac arrest as a sequel of vaccine-induced myocarditis
And finally, autopsies of people that die closely after they receive the vaccine indicate that with the enlarged number of cases, there is strong evidence that the death was caused by vaccine-induced myocarditis.
So presented with all of this evidence, I think that there is no other ethical or scientific choice but to pull out of the market these medical products and stop all the mRNA vaccination programmes. This is clearly the most failing medical product in the history of medical products, both in terms of efficacy and safety. And we need to investigate and think hard: How did we end up in a situation that it’s also the most profitable medical product in the history of medical products?
Thank you for your attention.

I would just accept that fallacy and move on, but DAMN one needs to at least have "authority" as part of it. This guy might be smart as hell, but his authority is in the field of Operations Research/management.
I think Asmodeus3 should be more careful in who they throw around as authority as that bat is more like a wet noodle.
My advice to Asmodeus3...don't except what everyone says just because it may agree with your narrative...
But who am I kidding... Asmodeus3 will now defend Levi as the top expert to the ends of time.

Results:
In the non-elderly population the “number needed to treat” to prevent a single death runs into the thousands. Re-analysis of randomised controlled trials using the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology suggests a greater risk of serious adverse events from the vaccines than being hospitalised from COVID-19. Pharmacovigilance systems and real-world safety data, coupled with plausible mechanisms of harm, are deeply concerning, especially in relation to cardiovascular safety. Mirroring a potential signal from the Pfizer Phase 3 trial, a significant rise in cardiac arrest calls to ambulances in England was seen in 2021, with similar data emerging from Israel in the 16–39-year-old age group.
Conclusion: It cannot be said that the consent to receive these agents was fully informed, as is required ethically and legally. A pause and reappraisal of global vaccination policies for COVID-19 is long overdue

Don't get me wrong, lack of "authority" is what makes it a fallacy.
Asmodeus3, of course, doesn't want to see it.
Since I am here, I would also just like to say that I don't see how the old definition posted earlier would have excluded the mRNA jabs.
There was a change and, yes, the timing could surely cause suspicion, but, like you pointed out, there is nothing to keep them from being called vaccines even under the old definition.
Seems some people can't help but want to joust against windmills.

The comparison you are trying to make is just ludicrous.
quality of manufacturing of biological products
That is BS.... All of this is dripping with appeal to authority as daskakik suggests.
MIT Expert on Drug Safety...

I can't find anything in this area and there is a full list of everything he has written on.
quality of manufacturing of biological products
He is basing assumptions on data he didn't get himself and he has done zero analytical analyst on any of this to show something that is uniquely his to demonstrate where everyone else is wrong and only he is right. He is concern, OK...got it...
What you all read on every headline that is anti-vaccine is this

Just like much of what you post, it seems obvious to you, because that is what you think. That isn't necessarily the case.
I am already on the record, before you even started posting on ATS, that the vaccines have issues. Everyone who brings up all medications having the potential to harm some people are doing the same. You just can't seem to wrap your head around that fact.

Speaking of narratives you need to see more closely to the safe and effective assertion that was never proven anywhere other than the headlines of the mainstream propaganda.
And then continues with all the debunked arguments about herd immunity
I will take the analysis

Another thing you must have on cut/paste as much as you use it. You keep posting an expert, swinging a club of authority and all I did was look him up. Don't blame me if he doesn't fit the endless links on the net all saying the same thing over and over about this guy and all you need to do is go to his home page and see what he really does.
