      No, Dr. N, it is EXACTLY the assumption of causation that you are promoting, just as antivaxxers do; only you are too wedded to your idée fixe and ignorant of what antivaxxers do to realize that's what you're doing. (No more Mr. Nice Guy in the face of your continued insults.)

      Seriously, one major reason I can't take you seriously any more is that you keep repeating antivaccine talking points and using antivaccine techniques and strategies to promote your idée fixe. At first I thought it was unintentionally, but now I'm not so sure.

      I and several others who have long studied the antivaccine movement have repeatedly tried to educate you about antivaxxers and their techniques of misinformation that you were using. I gave you the benefit of the doubt for a long time, but You can no longer claim ignorance.

      You've been informed of the techniques and tropes that antivaxxers use to spread their narrative and how you were using the same sorts of techniques and tropes, but you continue to use them.

      The worst example is your continued use of anecdotes to support your idée fixe, just like antivaxxers do. It's almost as though you've been scouring Twitter and the news looking for such anecdotes to point to and blame vaccinating the previously infected for.

      That's not all, though. Like antivaxxers, you attack your critics as arrogant close-minded zealots who can't even consider the possibility that you might be right and #CovidVaccine might be dangerous in the previously infected.

      Like antivaxxers, you have insinuated that provaccine advocates are basically fascists who want to round up antivaxxers and the vaccine hesitant and forcibly vaccinate them.

      Like antivaxxers, you have invoked the "too many too soon" trope (a trope for which there was no evidence) in which you suggested that too many vaccines at a young age can cause inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

      Like antivaxxers, you have accused pro-vaccine advocates who criticize you of being "unconcerned" about vaccine safety—and unfairly and inaccurately, too.

      U are pretty darned unconcerned about vaccinating people who are already infected with SARS-CoV-2, because it is your prejudice that they are not at risk. Ur prejudice goes in the face of immunological basic science and SOC in medicine. We do NOT immunize the actively infected.

      You are pretty all fired concerned about vaccinating those already infected because it is your prejudice that they ARE at horrible risk. (See how that works?) And, no, it does NOT go against the standard of care, as we've explained to you many times.

          Yes. I do believe that it is potentially dangerous to vaccinate the infected - esp those who are elderly and frail with CV disease. I am not sure how else to state this for it to sink in 4 U. The hypothesis is based on the principles of cellular immunology and autoimmunity.

          But, interestingly, no evidence. Your entire hypothesis rests on the assumption that SARS-CoV-2 infects vascular endothelial cells and that viral proteins there can be the target of an immune response from the vaccine.
