      @RobertKennedyJr, I am willing to engage in reasonable and rational discourse. With all parties on all sides of this issue. Our nation faces a grave problem....We must center ourselves quickly. You can't stand too far on the fringe, Mr. Kennedy. @GerriShaftel @kwstark @jon_kamp

      Mr. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine leader. He has been on the fringe of this issue since 2005. You may well not have known, but he is not a reasonable party here. That association will undermine your point which, by itself, is worth raising.

      Yes, RFK Jr. is as antivax as anyone comes. I've been writing about his spreading of antivaccine conspiracy theories for nearly 16 years now, dating back to this. http://oracknows.blogspot.com/2005/06/saloncom-flushes-its-credibility-down.html …

      Indeed, these days RFK Jr. is not just antivaccine, but also a #COVID19 denier and #antimask.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/13/rfk-jr-doesnt-like-being-called-antivacine-and-antimask/ …

      Replying to @gorskon @doritmi and

      There are only two possibilities. Either Dr. Noorchashm gave RFK Jr. permission to republish his article, or he did not. If the latter, he should be outraged that RFK Jr. used his article without permission to further antivax propaganda. If the former, he should admit his mistake

      I did not specifically give permission to @RobertKennedyJr to use my article. But it is in the public domain for all to read and use. We should all be looking for rationality and safety. Time is running out for many. Also, please try to keep it polite. Best, Hooman.

      If the eminent surgeon had said that he most definitely did not give RFK Jr. permission to republish his post and didn’t approve of it, then I probably would’ve gone back and removed my use of the term “useful idiot.”

      Now I’m not so sure. His “bothsidesism” response to criticism and utter failure to express concern that RFK Jr. is using his article for antivax propaganda purposes definitely imply that he doesn’t mind RFK Jr. using his work to demonize #CovidVaccine.

      Doesn't your "attentiongrabberism" outweigh my "bothsidesism"? Good luck trying to box me into an anti-vaxx camp. Look, here's an olive branch: the scale of the EUA (150M in 100D) makes ALL safety concerns (real and projected) even more critical to public safety and buy-in.

      I didn’t try to “box you into the antivax camp.”🙄 In fact, I merely pointed out that you are letting the *antivax movement* “box *you* into the antivax camp” by using *your* work as antivax propaganda. And you seem to be utterly unconcerned by that.

          U've used my words in publication, the same way @RobertKennedyJr has - without my permission, which I do not need 2 give. Except, U are bordering on belligerent. I'm happy to have a sane convo, if U wish - b/c my perspective is borne in a crucible. But U may be too clueless Dave.

          Actually, I think he does need your permission to fully reproduce your blog post. You retain the rights to your content.
