      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

      So understand them. Do a basic epi course and read up on the various types of reporting system, how they work, what we expect of different mechanisms etc. If you're interested, spend a month or two actually learning the basics rather than "just asking questions" online

          I’ve been seriously considering it - but am very busy. I’ve actually learned a lot already online but the VAERS stuff confuses me coz it’s dependent on dr reports and have a hard time believing vaccine linked AEs and deaths are accurately reported due to massive bias and pressure
