      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.

      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 …

      Prophylaxis! NO reasonable physician would give an actively infected person these vaccines. None! Keep conflating though professor - smh!

      Prophylaxis is given to people presumed infected to prevent going to full blown disease. That’s the point.

      Replying to @doritmi @noorchashm and

      You tried to claim we don’t give vaccines to people infected. That’s incorrect. You can still argue it’s a bad idea to give COVID-19 vaccines to infected, but this isn’t a good argument for it, nor is misusing the term standards of care.

      I'm afraid that the ever-so-polite good Dr. N. is not very good at this.

          Wait do I have this right- a PhD in immunology is arguing against vaccines as PEP for infectious diseases with sufficiently long incubation periods that it Is known to be effective?
