      Advocate all you want for vaccines. But patients still have the right to choose. And the right to hear those who disagree that all vaccines are effective and safe enough to force on people. Using force discredits the case.https://twitter.com/DrLindaMD/status/1108206936590290945 …

      We need to continue speaking up on the efficacy and safety of vaccine. I've been attacked by #antivaxxers but that won't stop me from telling the truth. Lives are on the line. #VaccinesWork https://twitter.com/kidoctr/status/1108011830289616896 …

      Of course, let me just let @DrLindaMD know that I've been trying to get a simple answer to a simple question from Dr. Orient for days. The question? Which childhood vaccines does she consider safe and effective and why? She's been dodging the question with rants about freedom.

      The one with the burden of proof goes first. Name the vaccines in the CDC schedule for which benefit always exceeds risk to individual patient.

      He asked for your medical opinion. And be aware that there are thousands of people following this thread who want to know your answer. This evasion is a litigation gimmick. And we all see it.

      Also, I've seen this gimmick used enough times by "I'm not antivaccine" antivaxers that it does not deter me and I do not let it draw me into the weeds, which is the actual purpose of this attempt to shift the burden of proof.

          Yup. But I want her to know there are many thousands of witnesses in her quackery courtroom.

          I would just walk away except she is a physician and should be expected to be scrutinized to a higher standard. People are trusting her expertise. This false science can cost lives.
