He is a scientist and considers himself well-informed, but he gets his news from mainstream sources. He is sure that there is no reputable evidence in favor of Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, etc., or otherwise he would have heard of it. He believes that Pfizer studied its vaccine thoroughly and that if it were dangerous it would not be being used. He feels that the way the Johnson & Johnson blood clot issue was handled indicates that if Pfizer/Moderna were also dangerous they would have been pulled.

This might help. It's an interview with a medical industry analyst. She is an expert in what these drugs are and what the FDA approval process is.
Interview starts about 4:00 in. The interview starts with her confirming that the FDA approval is a valid approval. (Normie scientist will like that.) Then, she reads directly from the FDA letter, and explains what the next step in the approval process is. (Normie scientist will like that, too).
And then she lowers the boom.

(Note: She says in the interview that Pfizer has not created a website for the new product, which is never done, and makes her suspicious. However, it now looks like they did launch a website. Be aware in case your friend tries to nitpick. The website is a minor side issue, IMO.)
Then, spend an hour on this video. Two medical doctors who explain a lot of the health problems being shown, and they specifically talk about why so many doctors have no idea what is going on.

Thanks. I think studies and text are more persuasive to my friend than videos.
