      Dr. Doshi has consistently worked to cast doubt on #vaccines, more than once in problematic ways. He has spoken against #COVID19 #vaccines. He served as an expert witness for an antivaccine group. This article, too, seems to overstate risks and understate need.

      Yup. What the hell is @nytimes doing giving voice to Peter Doshi? At the very least he's an enabler of the antivaccine movement; at worst, he's an antivaxxer. Indeed, he's even spoken at antivaccine confabs.

      Smearing scientists whose research may complicate your personal opinions or agenda speaks volumes about how much you value actual science.

      Replying to @writingblock @doritmi and

      First, he's not really a scientist, at least not one with any relevant expertise in vaccines. Second, it is not a "smear" to point out that Peter Doshi regularly spreads antivaccine misinformation and, because of that, is widely admired and quoted by antivaxxers.

      This is perhaps my favorite example (courtesy of @skepticalraptor) of Peter Doshi going parroting an antivax line. I mean, for someone who claims to be an "expert" on vaccines, he doesn't even understand how the VAERS database or web browsers work.https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/peter-doshi-vaccine-denier-conspiracy-vaers/ …

      Basically, whether Peter Doshi is antivaccine or not, it's very clear that he likes to use bad science, bad arguments, and cherry picking to demonize vaccines, in particular the flu vaccine and Gardasil.

      And you support your opinions with blog posts by an anonymous pharma exec who goes by "ancient feathered dinosaur."https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/about/ …

      Logical fallacy used: Ad hominem. I note that you haven't refuted a single argument that @skepticalraptor has made.

      But, hey, if the feathery one is in error in any of his arguments or has in any way misused science, please, show me how with evidence. Unlike Doshi, I might change my mind if sufficient disconfirming evidence and arguments are presented to me.

      And, yes, I and quite a few others know who the feathery one really is. I understand why he's using a pseudonym. Even though pretty much everyone knows the real name behind the pseudonym I like to use, I still use it mainly because I like it, sort of like a nom de plume.
