Which fact does our legislation get wrong, again? Dr. Gorski? Dr. Ottesen?

I've already told you multiple times (as have several others in the thread) and written a blog post about it. Enjoy your alliance with antivaccine groups and helping to further their ends with deceptive rhetoric.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/06/12/senate-bill-1055-antivaccine-fear-mongering/ …

But by taking a fact and trying to twist it into some quasi-religious anti-vax conspiracy, you are the one harming your own health policy goals. You're caricaturing yourself to exactly the sort of people you wish cared about the facts.

So you're not a doctor, not a scientist, not an immunologist, not a biologist. Understood.

There are plenty of medical professionals involved in our organization. But that's not the point, you're stuck with arguing about degrees and the finer points of the definition of "derived," because you don't want to just say "people don't have a right to know."

This isn't about people having a right to know. It's about legislating the doctor patient relationship, telling people one piece of misleading information, and hoping it will prevent them from getting vaccinated. (1)

If you would like this information available to people with strongly held beliefs there are other ways. For one, you could create resources yourself. If this was really about the right to know you could tell people the whole story and let them decide. (2)

We do, and when people talk to their doctors about this information, they are being given inaccurate information. How do you handle doctors and nurses who give patients information that is not medically accurate?

Of course, one notes that RTL doesn't provide examples of doctors providing information to patients that is not "medically accurate" as it pushes its own preferred narrative designed with the help of antivaxers to frighten parents away from using important vaccines.

Do you really want us to start calling out individual doctors (who are likely uninformed themselves) for giving patients bad information? If we do that, will you then agree patients then have a right to know?

You can give examples without giving names.
