Dr. Joel Kahn is a well-regarded "integrative" cardiologist. So why is he spreading #COVID19 and #antivaccine disinformation on social media? Simple. "Integrative" medicine can be a "gateway" to antivaccine beliefs.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/07/09/celebrity-vegan-cardiologist-dr-joel-kahn-has-become-an-antivaccine-covid-19-crank/ …

I love
@drjkahn agree with him on many things but totally disagree with him on this GET EVERYONE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID That is our only way out of this pandemic. Vaccination has a risk. Not vaccinating has a FAR GREATER risk. In medicine, we practice risk/benefit analysis.4 replies 4 retweets 57 likes -

I love you back. Just children and pregnant, and already infected and survived, need to consider the utility and safety.

@Drkahn, I wish that were true but the impact of what you write and what others write that you promote goes much, much further than that. It dissuades people from getting vaccinated and that makes everyone less safe.1 reply 1 retweet 20 likes -

Never posted once not to get vaccinated. The complete denial of a deluge of short term complications and death, let along long term unknown, is abhorrent. Doctors protect patients and provide informed consent of risks including vaccine death.pic.twitter.com/qapApFYR1E

That's a lawyer's defense. Above you claim, "Just children and pregnant, and already infected and survived, need to consider the utility and safety" yet you mention that very rarely in your tweets. Instead, you put out unsourced charts of data like this making other implications.

Are lawyers bad people? I don’t think so. Some of my best friends are… That you do not recognize those graphs as weekly VAERS updates is disturbing. Can’t be a dangerous vaxx if you don’t read the data. This one too.pic.twitter.com/lxXogR9VOA

Lawyers are lawyers, but usually not scientists. (although I know someone who is both.) It just seems like you're trying to play both sides of it. If you think there is a case to be made, make it! "The complete denial" - what does that even mean? it's accusations without argument

It's also disingenuous in the extreme of him to claim he's "never told anyone not to vaccinate" while his social media feeds are chock full of the worst antivaccine disinformation, conspiracy theories, and fear mongering.
