      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.

      It can't be that Dr. Orient doesn't consider any vaccine to be safe and effective (because she's an antivaxer), could it? Perish the thought! 🤦‍♂️

      Great questions! If any antivaxxer has any real science, I am willing to listen to it. But, there is none.

      Replying to @DrLindaMD @gorskon

      There is plenty of evidence of vaccine adverse effects. Isn't that real science? And does absence of evidence from safety trials that have not been done= evidence of absence--firm enough to justify suspension of need for consent? The damaged kids are real.

      Unless you compare vaccine adverse events to disease adverse events, this is a pointless question.

      REAL events compare (N who get disease now x %adverse events) vs (N who get vaccine x %adverse events). Scaremongering uses historical or 3rd world disease incidence & outcome and denies vaccine risks

      Again, where is your data? Where are all those you claim are vaccine "damaged"? Surely some group must be monitoring and be collecting actual data. Unless it doesn't exist. No one is scaremongering. We are talking science. You have not presented any.

      VAERS collects--maybe 10%, or 1% of suspected reactions. Where are publications of CDC investigations that follow-up?

      Where are those numbers on VAERS sampling proportion coming from?

      Also, VAERS is not meant to provide definitive estimates of adverse events sure to vaccines. It functions more like like the "canary in the coal mine," warning scientists that something might be up and today they should investigate.
