He and his organization are raising numerous intelligent questions and not criticizing and misrepresenting people anonymously like you. I have criticized his wisdom for not encouraging mask use at some events and remain undecided on many issues like the safety of vaccines.

Why can’t these folks just say they’re antivax? Once evidence of safety and efficacy have been demonstrated I have no issue saying that I support vaccines. Why not the same clarity of conviction from these folks?

Simple. They know that society quite correctly frowns upon antivaxxers and therefore try to avoid admitting they’re antivax. That’s why, as much as I detest antivaxxers, I do have a grudging respect for those who are honest and admit that they’re antivax.

As a physician, if U R ethical, U should not detest anyone Dr. Gorski. Many of the folks you classify as "anti-vaxxer" actually have children who experienced a vaccine complication. I know most of these are "unavoidable" complications. But, it's SO easy to B mainstream. sigh.

Not quite. The antivaxxers to whom you refer have children with medical conditions that they have INCORRECTLY ATTRIBUTED to vaccines by confusing correlation with causation, even though there is copious evidence that they weren’t caused by vaccines, conditions such as autism.

Some may be wrong. Rule number 1 in being a decent and ethical physician: NEVER blow off the patient. They know more about their bodies and experience than you. Let’s all shut up and listen to people’s pain and suffering....otherwise the white coat is a sham!

ALL of them are wrong about vaccines causing autism. Many epidemiological studies have been done and failed to find a link between vaccination and autism. Vaccines do not cause autism. We do them no favors by suggesting they might be correct that they do.

More importantly, we do their CHILDREN no favors by indulging their belief that vaccines cause autism. That belief has led to a whole industry of “autism biomed” quackery, in which parents subject autistic children to useless or even harmful interventions for “vaccine injury.”

I think “we” can shut up and listen to patients more carefully. Maybe we’d stop missing the obvious. Maybe we can become decent enough to meet every patient where they are and earn trust. Or maybe we just stay a bunch of elitist bastards, jump on bandwagons and beat our chests.

This is, of course, a common false dichotomy used by antivaxxers to attack physicians. Doctor, as time goes on, you’re saying more and more of the same sorts of things that antivaxxers say. Seriously, you are.
