@BretWeinstein from my perspective you’re both talking past each other here. If you’re genuinely (at the individual level) interested in rational debate you’ll have this discussion on a Podcast. Since you’ve both got podcasts that shouldn’t be hard. Otherwise? 
Science isn't conducted over podcast! Neither of us is qualified to even have an opinion on this issue. Seriously.
Science is a method, Claire. It works in forests, labs, classrooms, space stations—wherever it is applied. I’m an evolutionary biologist. That is not a requirement to have an informed opinion, but if you are going to insist on such a standard then yes, I am qualified.
You are *not* qualified to contradict the published research via podcast. If you are so sure of your expertise and the veracity of your claims then follow the normal scientific process. Write your hypotheses down, test them, & share your method with the world.
If @BretWeinstein was serious about being honest, he’d have an epidemiologist on his podcast to discuss the evidence. Even @HeatherEHeying said she doesn’t have ability to critique recent Meta Analysis. Get @GidMK on there.
I’m sure he would but it’s not like every type of scientist is lined up outside their home waiting to get on their podcast
Most scientists are not overly keen to go on fiercely anti-vaccine podcasts. What would be the point?
That’s kind of what scientists do. If someone is spreading inaccurate information you correct them. Particularly if you think they’re spreading dangerous misinformation.
I do lots of scicomm on Twitter, write a lot, and when I have time I record my own podcast. I'm only interested in appearing on other people's podcasts if they are at a bare minimum vaguely interested in a scientific perspective
