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?

As anyone who read Dr. Gorski’s post would see that that’s not his position, and that he considered your claims seriously in light of the risk, this isn’t helping you. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/29/noorchashm-spreading-fear-of-covid-19-vaccines-on-an-antivax-website/ … And pointing to deaths unrelated to vaccines is not finding a safety crack.

By downplaying the likely risk I have delineated, U folks are acting very dangerously. Read my lips: It's a breach of SOC to vaccinate infected people. There are a lot of infected folks being vaccinated indiscriminately during this pandemic. We do not downplay safety!

I think you're the only immunologist who has been participating here, Dr. Noorchashm, but I'm sure you know others. Do any or most of them agree with you?

Most fear backlash because so many powerful guardians of the medical establishment are not willing to question vaccine safety lest they get defamed and destroyed. Any question about vaccine safety is like black magic. Very bizarre!

Dr Hooman: watching you spread antivaccine tropes- whether knowingly or unknowingly- these past few days (“too many too soon” “questioning vaccine safety”) has been tremendously disappointing. As a senior physician, you must do better. Especially in a pandemic.

I'm not sure that Dr. N has practiced surgery for several years. Certainly he hasn't held an academic position for several years and hasn't published in immunology for even longer. (I looked.)

Good work David! You're partially right. I do not practice cardiac surgery anymore. I have been taking care of my children after their mother died of a cancer that was iatrogenically upstaged...by folks who think like you do. Really - not joking. I versed in dealing with you.

I wondered when you'd finally use your experiences to attack me. It's OK, though. As I said elsewhere, I feel sympathy for your loss. I even feel admiration for your crusade after it. What I fear, however, is that your experience has led you astray on the issue of

I'm not attacking you. Tread lightly. U have no idea what you are talking about David - and you will damage your own reputation. Trust, that it is your duty to do your utmost to protect minority subsets of patients in harm's way. As I said, we are stronger together.

How else, other than as an attack, am I to interpret your statement, "I have been taking care of my children after their mother died of a cancer that was iatrogenically upstaged...by folks who think like you do. Really - not joking. "? It sure sounds and feels like an attack.
