      Not accurate but official and all we have, Almost certainly errs by under-reporting

      I bet she can't tell me the names of the active surveillance systems for adverse reactions to vaccines. (Yes, there are more than one.)

      Let's just say that VAERS is most definitely NOT "all we have." Dr. Orient, you're really not very good at this. You don't even know the basics. It's cringeworthy to watch, and you should be embarrassed.

      you are the aggressor--you have the burden of proof. Show us something better than VAERS. And ONE large long-term study with an unvaccinated control? ONE paper about follow-up of VAERS reports.

      Hey @jorient! How would you propose we do a randomized double-blinded #vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study, AKA the "gold standard?" Would love to hear how you would accomplish this!

      Has she actually proposed this? Even she should know that such a study would be totally unethical.

      Is it ethical to experiment on the whole population with large numbers of inadequately tested vaccines--and untested combinations? A no-no for antihypertensives?

      Vaccines are tested more than any other medical intervention or drug in human history. Development and testing of vaccines generally takes 10-25 YEARS.

      Yes, that was one of the more spectacularly ignorant things said by Doc Orient thus far, that vaccines are "inadequately tested." One wonders what she would consider adequate testing.
