      The thalidomide crisis was an important precursor to the modern drug approval process that @gorskon is suggesting we should ignore for J&J, despite the availability of 2 safe/effective alternative vaxxes. I’m very pro-vax, but I’m sympathetic to the FDA here.

      I thought you must’ve missed my response b/c your newest replies make no sense in this context. I’m not criticizing the FDA. @gorskon is. I’m defending the FDA decision to suspend J&J until they review these adverse effects.

      For the reason I mentioned in my reply that you complained about me reposting above and because:https://twitter.com/loafstata/status/1381977002606014465 …

      And because the tweet I was responding to referenced thimerosal as an example of past overreach, which is about as relevant to this situation as thalidomide, an example of inaction.

      🤦‍♂️ If you take nothing else from my comments, take this: I am pro-vaccine. I’ve had my first Pfizer shot. My wife is an infectious disease doc. I’m not criticizing vaxxes, I’m supporting an FDA decision to suspend one vax until clotting is better understood.

      Just saw this. Since I’m assuming you’re applying it to me and it totally mischaracterizes my position, I’d appreciate it if you’d delete it. Your call.

      She’s not wrong, though. Invoking thalidomide in the context of a vaccine safety discussion IS a favorite antivax trope, and you did just that. Maybe you didn’t realize it’s an antivax trope, but it is. Those of us who regularly refute antivaxxers are very familiar with it.

          I hear you and I wasn’t aware of that, but it should be pretty clear by now from my responses here that I’m not using it in that context.
