      And, if awareness were driving this, we would have seen a bump in flu vaccines and other vaccines. We haven’t seen that - because those vaccines are safer. If the median experience with a vaccine is far worse, why are we surprised that the lethal end of the tail is much greater?

      He claims its because of your limp dick comment - think he's a busy dude - though for my own reasons I wish he didn't block you and Avi - I was enjoying the burgeoning debate

      That's absurd. We were just pointing out basic flaws with his inference, criticisms he quite frankly should have been aware of. Seems like he's just being an ideologue who avoids criticism from those who can actually deliver it.

      He had a big debate with healthnerd the other day where he displayed a lot more patience and endurance - not sure what happened here. Maybe in a bad mood?

      Lol did he though? He just said weird patronising nonsense at me then blocked a fraud detection expert who agreed to debate him for pointing out that his debate topic was a weird straw man

      And this whole VAERS thread is wild nonsense. You would expect far more reports on any entirely voluntary reporting system if the basis of the reports was CONSTANTLY in the news, comparing it to past years just shows that people don't understand how these systems work

      Yes you could argue you'd expect more - but it seems an a priori dismissal of the massive jumps in reports seems a tad irresponsible given the circumstances. Yes he definitely displayed a lot more patience in ur debate - he said he blocked Kyle for refusal to share the emails

      Nonsense that's certainly not what he said. And it's not an a priori dismissal, VAERS is very carefully monitored. It is bizarre how people who have absolutely no idea how reporting systems work cry foul over complete misrepresentations of VAERS reports

          As well as an uptick in reports, you'd expect even semi-engaged people to show an extra interest in understanding the mechanisms in place for monitoring the ongoing safety of a vax distributed to billions I'm one such person and have no truck for blind faith in the system

          Not saying I don't believe in expertise - my whole goal here was to get two experts to debate - but I have questions about the safety monitoring and if the govs of the world exercised basic leadership I wouldn't have to be here working so hard to get answers to these questions
