      Caught lying about what? Some countries don't have the best safety monitoring systems in place and they are working to make it better? Isn't that exactly what the #antivax want? MORE safety?

      Exactly! What they said in the meeting is they’re working towards more safety, like we have in western countries

      Exactly. She didn’t say that vaccines are unsafe.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

      While I have Del’s attention, maybe he can list the three ACTIVE surveillance systems in the US for adverse event monitoring after vaccination. He’s always complaining that VAERS is a passive reporting system, but VAERS is NOT the be-all and end-all of vaccine safety monitoring.

      Of course, antivaxxers portray VAERS as the be-all and end-all of vaccine safety monitoring because of the well known shortcomings of passive monitoring systems. Vaccine safety monitoring in the US is FAR more robust than just VAERS, though.

      And, of course, there’s more than just the US. Canada, the EU, and other countries also have active surveillance systems for bracing safety.

      The bottom line is that vaccines work and are incredibly safe. Also, they don’t cause autism.

      Why is it I can always provide examples for my point, David, and all you can do us site slogans. Not very scientific. But I guess you’re the best they’ve got. No wonder we are growing at a 500% increased rate, according to Dr. Heidi Larson.

      Interestingly, Del avoids answering a direct question & lies about the lack of scientific references posted regularly by @gorskon & others who use science to support vaccines. Instead Del promotes the #SoMe activity that he profits from, at the expense of people's lives.

      Lol! DB Q: "Why is it I can always provide examples for my point...?" Quote & rest of tweet his game in nutshell. A: Easy when you have 0 science background, don't have to be tied to accuracy, & your biz is all abt convincing lay audience you're an expert while spouting misinfo.

      Well, if there’s one thing Del IS good at, it’s conning a lay audience into believing he’s an expert while spouting misinformation.

          For that, he's a definite All-Star! But knowing how he plays fast and loose with fact and relays info to his audience, I'm sure that comment of mine risks being repackaged as an endorsement by an academic, ripe for use on his YouTube carnival spectacle--err, I mean show.
