I agree with much of what the doctor said, but I think the risk of a very deadly variant emerging from the "vaccinated" population far outweighs the concern of worse symptoms in a "vaccinated" individual as a result of ADE.
The following link is supposedly a rebuttal by an aspiring physician (assuming the blog is actually real). The first 14 blog posts appear to have been on November 1, 2020 and the blogger seems too prolific to be one individual out to "deplatform" viruses. To be frank, that blog looks to me like pro-vaccine propaganda for educated people and gets higher google placement than one would expect.
I have no biological expertise to draw this conclusion but for
He then argues that masks don’t work because viruses are small enough to pass through them. The problem with this reasoning is viruses do not travel as individual viral particles- they are inside the aerosols and droplets. That’s what the masks block.
"Aerosol droplet lands on mask, dries, virus gets inhaled"
sounds plausible to me
His source for mask efficacy has multiple sources which conclude single digit % reductions. And the only one with a blind test concluded "no effect".
If we take the vx vs palcebo study I linked then maximally reduces the transmission chance from 4% to 3.6%.

It's all so tiresome
The effectiveness of masks is vastly overstated in the mass media in order to get people to wear them. I'll take a couple of percentage points.
Also, I think the idea is reduce the spread from the wearer.
