  On Reasonable Cooperation and Vaccine Hesitancy Among Ethnically Marginalized Communities: A Reply to Kelsall and Sorell, Tarun Kattumana

  In “Two Kinds of Vaccine Hesitancy”, Joshua Kelsall and Tom Sorell (2025) consider whether it is reasonable to be vaccine hesitant. The paper discusses a number of key issues such as: (i) open questions about representativeness in vaccine trials; (ii) novel vaccines using the mRNA vaccine platform; (iii) questions raised by new variants of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (iv) distrust of institutions offering vaccines on account of discriminatory practices.

  Will the Anti-Skeptic Ever Go Away? A Continuing Dialogue with Baumann, Benjamin W. McCraw

  I want to extend an additional and deeper thanks to Peter Baumann for the continued dialogue stemming from my paper. Baumann’s charitable, yet critical, continued discussion models what is best in the philosophical tradition. I hope my few thoughts in response can help continue it further. I will quickly mention and address a few points that strike me from Baumann’s response.

  Why Shouldn’t There be Reliable “Bullshit Machines”? A Response to Mizrahi on Artificial Epistemic Authorities, Rico Hauswald

  In a recent contribution to SERRC, Moti Mizrahi criticizes current attempts to make conceptual space for the idea of artificial epistemic authorities (AEAs), that is, large language models (LLMs) or other AI systems functioning as epistemic authorities (Mizrahi 2025). In particular, he takes issue with a recent article of mine (Hauswald 2025), in which I assess the arguments both for and against allowing the possibility of granting AI systems the status of AEAs.
