When someone like @billmaher says he’s “not antivaccine,” I want to ask him: When a climate science denier claims he’s not denying that human-induced climate change is real, do you take that denial at face value? Or when a creationist say he’s not denying evolution?

As a clinician, researcher, scientist and expert in clinical epidemiology I stand by the claim that vaccines cause adults. The JAMA article in no way contradicts the claim. Vaccine is only mentioned in the text once.pic.twitter.com/XVG5QAGH7w

Respectfully, I don't care about your list of professions (Trump is a president) just show me the data where vaccines alone significantly reduced mortality. Prove to me 'Vaccines save millions of lives' It certainly isn't happening in developed countries.

This is case fatality, during that time it was a common illness not requiring hospitalization. Mortality in developed countries was closer to 1:10,000 per incidence or 1:500,000/yr population wide.

Now do morbidity rates! Because mortality rates can't judge the suffering, pain, permanent complications & disabilities that diseases can cause, not to mention the economic costs. Do you need help finding those charts?

Ah again, the topic is mortality, specifically challenging the 'Vaccines cause adults' and the 'Vaccines save millions of lives' maxims. No doubt vaccines reduce morbidity/incidence/cases, but it's not the topic.

Imagine not knowing the difference between mortality and incidence and which one is more important when speaking about the effectiveness of vaccination.

You are assuming. I'm not challenging incidence. I'm challenging vaccines impact on mortality vs standards of living.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/768249 …
