Everybody wants a system that's safe. The only debate there is who is preventing progress. But current efforts are very much themed around uniquely securing immunity from GNM prosecution for doctors imho. Something I, as a member of the public, find to be objectionable frankly.

John, what is your occupation/background and interest in medical profession? Your tweets I notice many involve upset with medicine and complaints system, a mention of son with autism and yesterday annoyance about a document briefing people how to deal with vaccine deniers? DOI?

My background doesn't really matter, Alan, (though I don't hide it). My only interest is in keeping the medical word honest. I was once its biggest fan from afar, but then I had cause to look more deeply. What I found gave me cause to continue looking.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/601118759995187201?s=21 …

Sorry, I think it does. To understand your motives I need to understand your background, and your aims. I don’t want to jump to assumptions so I’d really appreciate if you are someone who has a problem with doctors in past, perhaps with autism/vaccine links? Im not hiding my DOI.

If you read
@ShaunLintern's piece, I think it more than adequately explains my motivation. Feel free to debate me on any of the points that I've raised - I'm open to changing my mind if convinced. But I'm not open to having you play the man not the ball. I'm hiding nothing. -
Sorry, John, no. I strongly suspect you have more than an axe to grind against the medical profession for a perceived wrong, (which may be justified) and your views are not wholly objective as a result. I’d be grateful if you would answer my question on your autism/vaccine view.
-
And I'd be grateful if you'd stop trying to divert the conversation away from the point at hand. My views are all openly available on other twitter threads - inc on that subject - and no less subjective than your own. Now... have you a point to raise about anything I've said?
-
I’m not trying to divert anything John. Rather than trawl through 1,000s of past tweets to appreciate your viewpoint, I’m simply asking if you believe vaccines cause autism, and feel someone you love was harmed as a result. It’s relevant. I’m a biochemical scientist and doctor.
-
My take: You don't like what I've had to say because it doesn't sit well with your view of events, but you're unable to fault what I've said, so now you are desperately grasping for some other basis on which to undermine the messenger, rather than deal with the message. Telling.
