      Here’s a perfect example of false equivalence. Note how he only grudgingly admits that there are antivaxxers spreading disinformation, but he doesn’t sound as though he thinks it’s really much of a problem. https://twitter.com/noorchashm/status/1357211174228684800 …

      Nope. U got it wrong Professor. Efficacy and safety are two sides of the same coin. They’re not false equivalencies. One side only denies the other, moronically. But efficacy part is easy - vaccines are effective. It’s safety that takes mindfulness and brain power. Got some?

      “Moronically”? Now, Doctor, that is not very “polite” or “civil.” It’s also painfully ableist.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology) …

      I did not refer to any specific person sir. Are you really a full professor....or a high schooler posing to be Dr. Gorski, Professor of Surgery at WSU? smh!

      I meant in general. I never use the work “moron” any more as an insult because of the history of the word.

      Also, characterizing us as “moronically” unconcerned about vaccine safety is VERY impolite and not very civil at all.😏

      Dr. Gorski. You are unconcerned. you deviate the conversation into nonsense. My only point has been that we should not indiscriminately vaccinate the infected during this pandemic. You per-COVID antics do not apply and are dangerous. @DrWoodcockFDA @DrPaulOffit @GerriShaftel

      You only think I’m “unconcerned” about vaccine safety because I don’t agree with your suggested plan, could not find evidence after 30M+ doses in the US to support your concern, and then found basic science evidence suggesting that your concern has low scientific plausibility.

          Seriously, you’re taking another page from the antivax playbook, accusing vaccine advocates of being “unconcerned” about vaccine safety. You really are, even if you don’t realize it.

          Deciding that antivaccine activists are only concerned about safety (where in reality, they promote misinformation about risks vaccines don’t have) and provaccine speakers don’t care about safety is certainly buying an antivaccine line of argument. Of course we care about safety.
