      Dr. Armat clearly doesn't understand how VAERS works or how in fact, in actuality, the number of reports of those adverse events is actually lower than what we would expect from random chance alone. Here, I'll teach him. https://twitter.com/RayArmat/status/1366404092021665794 …

      The bottom line is that VAERS is not a good argument in favor of @noorchashm's hypothesis. If anything, VAERS reports have been far less numerous than one would expect if there were zero relationship between #COVID19Vaccine and cardiovascular events.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/02/17/misuse-of-the-vaers-database-by-antivaxxers-continues-cardiac-edition/ …

      The good news, at least, is that with the Twitter misinformation tag coming, tweets like Dr Hooman’s, which aren’t based on any evidence, but spread fear, will be labeled as such. Baby steps.

      The most shocking and terrifying aspect of information exchange in this day and age is arrogant MDs and PhDs who want to censor and quash ANY concerns about consumer and patient safety. THAT, is the terrifying dimension of the sick psychology you folks are promoting. Truly sick!

      You are assuming that disagreeing with you about a specific claim is wanting "to censor and quash any concerns about consumer and patient safety." That's incorrect. They don't have to accept your pet hypohtesis. And they can criticize you for missteps without censoring all.

      Citations(s) required to show that vaccinating with an occult infection is unsafe as a general principle. No animal studies. Clinical trials or epidemiological studies.

      Actually, you know what IS required? A proper clinical trial in which a well powered subset of elderly and frail patients, with CV dz and with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections are studied. THAT, is what is "required"! Unreal how you can't see where the burden of proof is!

      Really? Is that ethical? To vaccinate a known infected person who is frail and elderly with CV dz? Hm. You sure?

      Wait, what? You just said that a "proper clinical trial in which a well powered subset of elderly and frail patients, with CV dz and with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections are studied. THAT, is what is "required," and now you're saying such a trial would be unethical?

          Can I ask you a clinical trials ethics question, since I doubt Dr. N would answer one? Dr. N is presenting his belief as a fact. If you think the science is clear that a practice is dangerous, but there’s no evidence, is it ethical to do a trial to test the hypothesis?

          Clinical equipoise is required for a trial to be ethical, and clinical equipoise demands that there be genuine uncertainty over which group, control or intervention, will do better.
