Wow, what an unfalsifiable smear. It says something about your standards that you're cool with RFK Jr., who caused death with his falsehoods in Samoa, but always have a bad word to say for an actual doctor who's been fighting quackery for over a decade.

I've come to the conclusion that, his previous exhortation "Always polite!" notwithstanding, Dr. Noorchashm is not a very polite or civil man at all. Conclude from that mismatch what you will about what kind of person he is.

Also, I've been fighting quackery for two decades and the antivax movement almost as long.

In a liberal democracy, taking the utilitarian position while ignoring or downplaying potential or real risks of harm is intellectually lazy and ethically lax. Being "PRO-vax" is like stating the sky is up. Of course it is. The trick is can U see and prevent the safety cracks?

A vaccine is a utilitarian product. It is designed for majority benefit. It's an English word. Please look it up.

Just because it's an actual word doesn't mean you're using it correctly. I mean, "the standard of care" is an actual thing, but you keep insisting, with no evidence to support it and plenty against, that it includes withholding vaccines from the already-infected.

Read my lips: It is a "Standard of Care" in medicine to NOT immunize the infected. It is a SOC that is followed by the vast majority of physicians. And in this pandemic, MANY are infected. We ought not be indiscriminately vaccinating them - especially not the elderly and frail.

But again, that’s not true. For example, some vaccines are recommended as prophylaxis to those infected or exposed. And there is no such standard of care for
#COVID19#vaccines. You can say “I think that’s what we should do.” And make a case, that’s fair. But not the SOC.1 reply 0 retweets 9 likes
I keep wondering where Dr. N. got the idea that it's *always* the standard of care not to vaccinate the infected or exposed, because that idea is clearly not correct.

MMR: give to exposed within 72 hours as prophylaxis, on assumption they’re infected: https://www.cdc.gov/measles/hcp/index.html … Varicella as prophylaxis: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/varicella/hcp-post-exposure.htm … Hep B: https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/pep.htm …
