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

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.

I'll conclude by saying that I *really* want to believe you when you say you're not antivaccine but rather very provaccine. However, you're making it difficult, because you're behaving in a disturbingly similar way to how I've seen antivaxxers behave for the last two decades.

There you go with your binary physics again....You sound like George W Bush: U're either with us or U're against us. Give it break good man. There is such a thing as balanced thinking and risk management.

Seriously, you're destroying another irony meter describing me that way. Your thinking is about as binary as it gets, and you are utterly immune to disconfirming studies, information, or reason on this matter.pic.twitter.com/WGmhS7udJG

No David. I acknowledge all the likely benefits and efficacy of these vaccines and recommend that all get vaccinated ASAP. But I am actively thinking using basic science to prognosticate and look for safety signals. U don't seem to believe in need for looking - despite dangers.

You do love your straw men arguments, don't you? I never said any such thing. What I did say is that your "prognostication" lacks basic science plausibility and we have not found any safety signals predicted by it after 30 million doses of
