She would not come here as she avoids most news and media due to the belief that they are corrupt.
Why does she believe this? She sounds like a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

That's even worse then; She SHOULD know better than this.
I would still say it's a Dunning-Kruger effect though. I doubt someone with Bachelor's in biochemistry should be questioning someone with a Master's or a PhD.
Either way though she's still completely ignorant of basic immunology.

There is some other conspiratorial stuff about 5G and Bill Gates etc. I feel like I have an obligation to respond to these claims but not entirely sure how to do this.
Does she know that conspiracies are mathematically impossible, especially at this scale?

She would have to be assuming that all these scientists, news reporters, and governmental organizations (altogether totaling in at least a few million people), are in on a conspiracy and none of them have blown the whistle on it after nearly a year of vaccination campaigns.
This article is pretty interesting (albeit a big long), and shows how a large enough conspiracy just can't last:

Here's a pretty good quote:
David Wong wrote: I don't know how big of a job that would be (no one has ever demolished a building that size before) but a building just half the size of one WTC tower took 4,000 separate charges to bring down. Four thousand.
That job took seven months of prep work... and they had the run of an abandoned building, without having to hide their work from 100,000 people every day. Our demolition crew, on the other hand, can work only at night and has to spend the last bit of every shift carefully repairing the wall and hiding any evidence of charges or detonators as not to be discovered during the day.
Huge teams of demolitions experts, who had no problem wiring a building full of innocent New Yorkers to explode, hired in secret, worked every night for what had to be a year (and that's only if they had a big enough crew) placing maybe 10,000 separate charges in each tower and another few thousand in WTC 7 (the smaller WTC tower that also collapsed, later in the day on 9/11).
And nobody notices.
That's right. That's the theory they're putting out there. 100,000 DVDs they've sold with this.
Truckloads of bombs, dozens of mysterious workers, going in and out of the building, night after night. Security at the building doesn't catch them, Port Authority Police don't catch them, random eyewitnesses who stumble across the operation and call the cops don't catch them, maintenance workers who stumble across wet paint and repaired walls and bits of strange wire don't catch them, security cameras don't catch them.
I don't think there's reasoning with her, it takes a lot to want to dedicate yourself to such delusions. You can try though. Maybe appeal to her sense of guilt, and as Jebus said tell her how not getting vaccinated is extremely irresponsible, and if she really cares about the well-being of other people (as her job literally requires) she would go with the experts on the matter rather than saying she knows better than all of them, and tell her to stop relying on obvious fake-news that only confirms what she wants to believe.
I would even go as far as to say she ought to have her medical license revoked.
