      Effects over the next 3 to 5 years polio had cancer based on contamination, death rates of MMR in Africa are higher for vaccine than nit vaccinated kids all vaccines stopped for MMR in Africa ... I am pro vaccine, and love them but there is a long history

      Saying you’re provaccine while promoting this kind of misinformation aimed to scare people off vaccines is unconvincing.

      Actually Dorit, blowing off and undermining people’s safety concerns does far more to erode trust and cause hesitancy. When we empathically stfu and listen to people’s concerns - then we begin to solve problems. The lack of humility in the arguments u represent are astonishing!

      I and others have been responding to antivaccine misinformation for years. You seem to be arguing that in an online discussion (not a personal interview) we should keep quiet and not correct misinformation about vaccines. The problem is that that can mislead people.

      I think u folks R misleading and intellectually quite lazy. Yes. It’s a very simple task to adhere to utilitarian arguments without due consideration to the why and whether of hesitancy and safety, respectively. The positions U take are quite superficial and wo nuance. Change.

      Pot. Kettle. Black. It is in fact YOUR arguments that are quite superficial and lack nuance. You don’t understand the difference between vaccine-hesitant and antivaccine. You can’t counter the studies I cite that suggest the premise of #ScreenB4Vaccine has low plausibility.

      You ignore the evidence of tens of millions of doses of #CovidVaccine administered without a safety signal predicted by your hypothesis. Instead, you keep robotically repeating #ScreenB4Vaccine and how that’s based on your “immunological prognostication.”

      Replying to @gorskon @doritmi and

      David, again. If COVID-19 disease/death and thromboembolic events days after vaccination are not classified as “vaccine related”, a signal won’t be “seen”. If U do not look, U do not see. What of that don’t u get? Believe me, I’d love to C my prognostication not bear out.

      Replying to @noorchashm @doritmi and

      Baseline rates, man. If such events occur in the vaccinated at a detectably higher rate than the expected baseline rate, then THAT’S a safety signal, regardless of how the deaths are ruled. After tens of millions of doses, they haven’t. Do you not understand basic epidemiology?

      There is much more to baseline rates observation and effect is not a simple correlation but conceptually you are correct

          David. I’m sure the data is there by now. Millions have been vaccinated. Now @DrWoodcockFDA @US_FDA @CDCDirector @pfizer need to do subset analyses looking directly at rates of COVID disease/death and thromboembolic events post vaccine. I’d ❤️ nothing more than to B wrong here.
