      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.

      No, you’re not. You’re taking what was clearly a painful, traumatic experience and applying it in an unrelated context, in ways that not only aren’t helping you, but end up undermining any reasonable points you’re making.

      Negative. Safety and harm mitigation to minority subsets of people in utilitarian equations is the definition of duty in modern medicine. And professor Reiss, I recommend you tread lightly.

      Replying to @noorchashm @gorskon and

      That sounds like a threat. I’m used to them from antivaccine activists. Nobody opposes safety. But when you do things like point to unrelated deaths as a problem with vaccines, it undermines the credibility of your claims.

      Dr. N sort of threatened me too when he kept claiming that "other eyes," important ones, were watching me. I simply responded that I know that everything I write is public and can be read by anyone; so I don't care who's "watching."

      A better way to put it is that I write everything I write on Twitter or my blog as though I expect that my bosses will read it.

      Perhaps. Perhaps not. Either way, I’m happy to let those who read my blogs and Twitter feed judge who’s a fool or not in this exchange. Best...
