The paper is based on scientific facts and was not affected by any political and religious views of the author.
The author of the article “Overview of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Vaccine” does not appear to be associated with any special-interest groups; the views presented in the paper are fully objective. Since the author provides an overview of COVID-19 vaccines, various sides of the issue are presented and evaluated. Alharbi discusses all vaccines in the same manner and includes numbers and statistics, demonstrating objectivity.
Alharbi uses scientific language in order to present the characteristics of COVID-19 vaccines; the language does not show any signs of bias. The author’s thesis statement is that there are several vaccines that are expected to be widely used. However, researchers still need to define the most effective and suitable vaccine and overcome possible challenges associated with its use.
Alharbi supports the claim of the article with evidence and includes the basic characteristics of vaccines, such as the principle of work, dosage, storage regulations, and other facts. Moreover, the author discusses the process of testing and includes statistics to show the efficacy of each vaccine. Information about possible difficulties, such as logistics and the financial aspect, is also used as evidence. It is possible to say that the author includes reliable statistics that are generally consistent with other sources. Not all academic sources were explicitly shown in the article. However, it is fair to mention that among the literature Alharbi cited were reliable and up-to-date sources, such as the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
The author’s assumptions do not appear to be questionable since they are based on facts and statistics, and therefore, are logical and trustworthy. It is difficult to talk about the opposing arguments in this paper because the article is written in the form of an overview. However, in addition to four major vaccines, pharmaceutically modified non-injectable vaccines are also discussed in detail. Therefore, it is possible to suggest that the author accepts different points of view.
