This criticism has been presented so many times to Geert. I'm not sure if he's unable or just unwilling to take the time to simplify his messages. It's frustrating because I truly want to understand and share his analyses.

It is not possible to further simplify the hugely complex topics he covers without losing nuance and diluting the entire message. We can simplify it drastically to "Covid vaccines bad " but that is not helpful, as I'm sure you will agree. There's a reason people spend years getting degrees in these fields in order to understand these complex concepts. I have a masters degree in biochemistry and I often struggle to understand him myself. But that's on me to put in the effort to understand it better, not on him to come down to my level and lose the essence of what he's trying to say.
Many highly educated people are able to simplify their language for lay consumption (Robert Malone and others do it well). It's not impossible but it does take time and, at this point, I gather that Geert doesn't wish to commit the time to do it.
Robert Malone doesn't go in depth into the technicalities of the science like Geert does. He speaks in generalities even when it comes to the science. Geert goes way deeper and that is what I like about him.
In my opinion, Geert's message started out as a message/warning/plea to his peers/colleagues in the scientific world. To the people who had the power to put in place or withdraw pandemic/vaccine -related policy. He never meant it to be a message to lay people (if they understood it, great, but that was not his original intention). But as time went on and his warnings were ignored by public health authorities and his fellow scientists, it was the public that started listening to him and trying to understand his message, however complex it might be.

I've read many of his Substacks where he gets into deep scientific concepts.
Well, if Geert really wanted the world to hear and understand his message, he'd find a way to do it.

He doesn't even have that much of an audience here. Which, I believe, speaks to my point about how he communicates.
