“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.

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.

I have a term that I like to use, "misinformed refusal." It's a take on the "informed consent" argument that antivaxxers like to invoke as they spread misinformation.

Antivaxxers try to get parents to refuse vaccines based on misinformation minimizing benefit and vastly exaggerating risk, inventing "risks" that vaccines don't actually have, and downplaying the severity of diseases vaccinated against, hence the term "misinformed refusal."

Says a "doctor" who clearly hasn't even read a vax insert.

Another antivax trope/fallacy: Appeal to the package insert.
