As a recently retired school nurse I want to say thank you Paul Offit for being such reliable and trust worthy resource for me not just during the pandemic but throughout my pediatric nursing career . My husband is a retired pediatrician and we are both alarmed at the level of willful misinformation and lies peddled to vulnerable populations. You speaking out against this anti- science venom maybe one of your most important public health contributions to date.

I am grateful. Thank You.

Listen you silly little thing.

RFK junior is a lawyer, not a scientist.

He is the lunatic that drove around with a severed pig's head on the roof of his car.

He is the idiot that beheaded a dead bear cub and dumped it in Central Park.

He is the unprincipled drongo that threw his campaign behind Trump after he was rejected by Harris.

He is the insufferable fool who had a dead worm eat part of his brain causing, by his own account, problems with his memory.

He treated his wife so badly she suicided.

This is the pathetic creature that you've allowed to fool you, you silly little thing.

I replied to you as well, maybe you couldn’t find the comment. Good news is more people know you’re a fraud all the time. Why don’t you sue some of these anti vaxxers you speak of, get them on the stand, you go on the stand, sort out the whole mess.

Here’s Aaron Siri testifying before a legislature, you should be there so you could have a dialog, but you probably will be like hotez that wouldn’t even do it with millions of dollars for charity on the line. Just look at that potato chip eating picture of heath, who in there right mind would take health advice from that clown, probably you. Are you a doctor? Imagine people once had trust and respect in that profession. My dad was a part of that, he’d be ashamed how unprincipled they have become working for corporations rather than themselves. When he practiced it was considered in bad taste to advertise, even in the yellow pages.

I can't even believe you're serious here. You just needed something to say. Amd it's just more babbling nonsense.

As if the law can decide the science. We've already seen the nonsense put out by one science illiterate lawyer. Aaron Siri. Clueless nong. And you must know that litigation is enormously expensive, takes forever, and favours those with deep pockets who can delay the process as long as they like until the opposition's money runs out.

I mean, who are you kidding?

Conspiracist nonsense. More ignorant grifters asking for money...I assume you have sent them some, Dag?

There are 2 different strains of HIV (1 and 2) and several different lineages. The only virus in chimpanzees in the wild is SIV, not HIV.

It is thought on the basis of phylogenetic and molecular clock analyses that the repeated exposures of humans to the SIVs in chimpanzees resulted in cross species transmissions and the evolution in humans of HIV variants in the early-mid part of the 20th Century. Emergence of highly transmissable variants like the M group resulted in the global pandemic during the 80s.

"Del Bigtree...blah, blah, blah"

Delicate LittleShrub is not even a scientist, let alone an immunologist or vaccinologist. Taking advice for that science illiterate grifter is like asking your mechanic to fix your teeth or your carpenter to remove your gallbladder.

"Dr. Paul Offit admitted that studies comparing unvaccinated children to vaccinated children have not been done, claiming they are impossible to do"

That is a misunderstanding on top of a lie.

Dr. Paul Offit said no such thing, let alone "admit" (which is nothing but a weasel word) it.

All vaccines in the childhood vaccination schedule have been fully tested for safety. The original vaccines were all tested against a saline placebo in RCTs. Improvements in the original vaccines are tested against the original vaccines. It is unethical to conduct a clinical trial of an improved version of an already tried and tested vaccine against a saline placebo because it denies the placebo group the benefits of the already tried and tested vaccine. Such a trial would never get past the Ethics Committee. The concept is called "Clinical Equipoise".

LEARN SOME SCEINCE.

Delicate LittleShrub is just an arsehole exploiting your ignorance and gullibility by spreading deadly disinformation for personal fame and fortune.

"Dr. Stanley Plotkin, the ‘godfather of vaccines’, made a recent statement in a published paper revealing the truth about safety trials on vaccines in the US, painting a picture of vaccine safety that falls far short of the safety claims our health agencies make."

That is a blatant LIE.

Dr. Stanley Plotkin was not even talking about the safety and efficacy clinical trials. He was simply talking about post marketing surveillance finding those rare adverse effects more quickly by using funds accumulating in the Vaccine Court reserve fund. BigTree is a BigLiar. And he knows he's lying. Worse still, he treats you like a mug by deliberately lying to you. Worse still, you are a mug for believing the grifting liar.

His reasoning in his particular case is reasonable. It would also be reasonable for someone else in his circumstances to get the booster. This is a borderline case. If he was in a low socioeconomic group and had poor access to health care, he would likely have chosen to get vaccinated and, because the booster was approved for 6 months plus, he would be able to get if free of charge.

Once again respectfully disagree. Re “little to no risk”: 1700/73 million children under the age of 18=.00238%, take out teens 1700/47 million under the age of 11 1700/47 million=.00361%. CHOP is a seriously skewed population. Re NIH, agree re its “good” contributions but Fauci and his EcoHealth Alliance lies have brought all of this criticism and healthy microscope to NIAID and NIH. Sometimes NIH funds utterly useless studies or fails to fund studies that would be immediately helpful like RCTs on therapy vs vaccination in 2020, RCTs on masking in 2020 instead of us relying on Bangladesh village studies. Concentrating 45 billion worth of funding under one arm of government is asking for corruption, malfeasance, favoritism, revenge. De-centralize the decision and grant making. So many physicians were fearful to speak out because of their funding through Fauci controlled arms. That is deeply unhealthy. All of this criticism and scrutiny is good for institutions.

Expand full comment

They said "little or no" risk.

There clearly was not "no" risk. Also, you seem to think death was the only risk. There were also sick children, hospitalised children, children in ICU, and children on ventilators. There were also children with MIS-C, long covid, permanent organ damage, and reduced life expectancy. There were also children with dead parents and grandparents.

The rest of your post is a slanderous lie.

If you think it would have been possible to conduct an RCT of mask wearing in 2020, you are clueless about scientific research. Utterly clueless in fact. You've probably picked up this piece of nonsense from others who are likewise completely clueless and have never conducted a single RCT in their entire lives.

And who on Earth relied entirely on Bangladesh village studies for evidence in favour of face masks in preventing infection? A challenge for you, son: attend to an active Ebola patient while not wearing a mask. Are you kidding me?

And an RCT on therapy vs vaccination. WTF are you talking about? What "therapy" are you even suggesting should have been tested against vaccinations?

You mindlessly repeat BS about useless studies but are unable to even mention a single one, let alone provide any details or explanation of why YOU think they were useless. As if you would have the slightest clue.

And this is just a blatant unadulterated LIE:

"So many physicians were fearful to speak out because of their funding through Fauci controlled arms".

Fearful to speak out? These science illiterate arseholes grifted for fame and fortune by bullshitting to their impressionable and gullible subscribers on social media. Give me a break.

As for "All of this criticism and scrutiny is good for institutions".

The fraction isn’t 1700/73 million, because those 1700 deaths were over 2-3 years, and the denominator should represent that time-constrained risk of exposure, not a lifetime.

There is a much more immediate threat to NIH in current proposal to reorganize NIH.

And some kids have paralysis, maybe they have reached the limit of toxins they can take from all the bombing, the chemicals in the bombs, the chemicals from the things that get blown up from the bombs. The kid with paralysis could have got it from a number of things they could have been exposed to. It’s pretty clear toxins can cause body defects, etc. I’m sure they really did a study to find the root of the problem there. And they are bombing these people and then turn humanitarian because of few infections from a vaccine derived poliovirus. It’s a total joke, idiots that think they can outsmart nature. And then the new one they are using is the genetically modified nOPV2 that’s not fully licensed so it is being used under EUA. It’s the same bs all the time.

EXCUSE THE LONG POST BUT I AM TRYING TO COUNTERACT DEADLY DISINFORMATION POSTED BY AN ANTIVAX LIAR WHICH REQUIRES ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE MORE TIME AND EFFORT THAN SIMPLY POSTING ANTIVAX LIES.

----------------------

All you have done is offered yet further evidence that you have absolutely no knowledge, let alone any experience, in science or medicine and are completely clueless about both.

You are also ignorant about logical fallacies and critical thinking. That has made you fodder for science illiterate social media influencers selling their souls for personal fame and fortune.

You have been brainwashed by these grifters to the extent that you now blindly regurgitate their bullshit. You are what we refer to as a "USEFUL FOOLS". The only difference between you and them is that they know what they're doing, and they are making a fortune doing it, while you haven't a clue what you're doing, and you are doing it for nothing.

Correction of your LIES:

- vaccines save 3 million lives every year; 150 million lives over the past 50 years.

- science illiterate fools like you who talk about "the toxins" never seem to be able to name even a single one.

- the polio vaccine has almost eliminated polio from the face to the Earth.

- it is misinformation spread by arseholes like you that has prevented it from eliminating it completely.

-------------------

ABOUT THE POLIO VACCINES:

There are two polio vaccines: the live attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) and the killed or inactivated injectable polio vaccine (IPV). Together they have reduced 350,000 cases of polio in 1988 down to 35 cases in 2018.

The first version (OPV) is used in large third world populations because:

- it is cheap and affordable.

- it requires minimal storage and transport conditions.

- it requires no training and can be given by anyone.

That enables large populations to be vaccinated very quickly at low cost.

The drawback is that it is a live attenuated vaccine and, as such, it can revert back to the pathogenic variant. But the incidence of vaccine-linked polio is several orders of magnitude less that the incidence of wild polio before the vaccination effort commenced. There are about 3 cases of vaccine-linked polio per million vaccinations compared with 5,000 cases of wild polio per million infections before the vaccination effort commenced.

In developed countries that can afford the cost and where the incidence of polio is very low, the inactivated injectable form (IPV) is used. This is unable to revert to the pathogenic form and therefore cannot cause vaccine-linked polio. But it is far more expensive, requires strict conditions of storage and transport and can only be dispensed by trained vaccinators. This makes it unsuitable for third world countries.

Does this science illiterate dude know any of this? No. Does he care? No. This antivax fool has been duped by the "Naturalistic Fallacy" into thinking that "natural" infection must be better than "un-natural" vaccination and, as a result, is spreading deadly disinformation that kills and paralyses children.

----------------------

POLIO IN THE GAZA STRIP:

Polio was eradicated in the Gaza Strip 25 years ago, thanks to regular vaccination campaigns. Note: zero cases of polio for 25 years thanks to the polio vaccine! But, while 99% of Gazan children were immunised in 2022, that number has dropped to less than 90%. And the conditions of war which include crowding, poor sanitation and hygiene, contaminated water supply contributed to the risk.

The effort to curtail the outbreak includes rapidly vaccinating with more than 1.6 million doses of an oral polio vaccine (OPV). This cannot be achieved using the IPV because of reasons listed above. The vaccination effort must increase coverage to at least 95% of children to achieve herd immunity and stop the outbreak.

But, apparently, this science illiterate antivax fool is against the vaccination effort that will save the lives of children and reduce their risk of paralytic polio. He is killing and paralysing children through his own ignorance and gullibility.

--------------------

Note:

There has been some criticism of the WHO polio campaign in third world countries. When you use the OPV to vaccinate a population there must be an all-out effort to vaccinate more that 95% of the population as quickly as possible to reduce the number of cases of vaccine-linked polio. The WHO has been accused, with some legitimacy, of dropping the ball here, leading to more cases of vaccine-linked polio than there could have been. But this is a separate issue.

What’s with all the capitals, it just makes you look hysterical, perhaps you are.

You have a big hurtle to overcome with the bs you’re pushing, it’s out of sync with what’s happening in the real world.

You have this problem that there is as perfect a correlation as you can produce of ever higher rates of autoimmune problems, Chronic disease in kids right in step with an ever increasing childhood vaccine schedule. From 1986 right when the liability for pharma was taken over by govt (who cares that the pot is funded by industry, it’s a sweetheart deal) the rush to produce ever more shot is plain to see along with the health problems that came with it.

The other big problem is that if you ever allowed yourself to do the comparison (the comparison you say can’t be done) of the overall health of unvaccinated kids compared to vaccinated kids it’s so clear the unvaccinated are so much healthier, they have way less ear infections, allergies, asthma, etc, the list is long included the ultimate one autism. You can be certain that comparison would be paraded every day if they could find a way to manipulate the data by changing groupings or something. And we know this is true by the pandemic of the unvaccinated story that we all witnessed in 2021-2022 that was a pure manipulation: exclude vaccinated from the stats until 14 days past 2nd shot, accumulate all unvaccinated numbers from from inception (when no one was vaccinated) and divide by the current day number of people still not vaccinated to produce incident rates per 100,000, etc. They loved that comparison and correlation until the manipulations caught up with them and they could no longer hide that the vaccinated were over represented in hospitalizations and deaths and all that information by age and number of shots disappeared and wasn’t talked about anymore after mid 2022.

The whole vaccine agenda is like religion you must believe, you can’t ask questions or point anything out. They produce fraudulent studies written in a language that is the equivalent of an old priest standing before the congregation speaking in Latin so no one knows what the hell is going on other than you don’t dare ask a question. Maybe you’re the priest up there trying to control the message or maybe you’re one of the ones in the congregation that fully believes. Your science has as many holes in it as the Noah’s Ark story, but you’re still demanding total faith in your preachings, at least the church has loosened up, mind you it took 1000’s of years for that spell to be broken. Maybe the advent of modern communication tools the vaccine spell can be fixed. It sure does seem like many people have a curiosity to know more these days and the priests of the vaccine religion are panicking just the same as the church panicked when people started thinking maybe Noah didn’t build that boat.

It's to draw your attention to details that your mind seems to have paid no attention to in the past.

"autoimmune problem"

See what mean.

I already informed you that vaccinations can produce what might be defined as autoimmune REACTIONS, but there has never been any evidence that any vaccine has caused autoimmune DISEASES.

There is no evidence that vaccinations cause chronic diseases.

There is no evidence that vaccinations cause autoimmune diseases.

In fact, vaccinations actually prevent infections that lead to chronic diseases.

Results:

"Compared with healthy children, children with chronic illnesses have significantly lower vaccination rates, and they face higher risks if they contract a preventable disease".

YOU ARE LYING.

"The whole vaccine agenda is like religion"

But you are a scientifically illiterate nong blindly repeating the deliberate lies by mavericks, quacks, and cranks grifting for fame and fortune on social media at the expense of YOUR health.

Oh Billy Bob and Mike S are going to lose it, they hate that graph at shows polio going up after the war when all other disease had already plummeted (before the vaccines came into the scene). But back to polio, it went straight up and right back down with the use of DDT after WW2, they hate that one even more.

No one ever reasonably answered why was polio going up when other disease mortality was basically gone (there was cases but deaths were from the past). And why was polio only a serious problem in the industrial world not in the 3rd world (hint, they weren’t spraying everybody with DDT there yet). They proposed maybe polio was from too much hygiene, theorizing that kids weren’t getting exposure to polio so their immune system wasn’t getting trained. But that idea fell apart when polio took off in the 3rd world (when they started spraying) so it was back to being an issue of not enough hygiene. The answer probably lies in all they had to do was stop spraying everyone with poison and the problem would have gone away. Kind of like the kids in gaza, if they could be removed from all the toxins that are a byproduct of the war the problem would probably go away.

Hahaha good one, like autism it’s more accurate to say they don’t have the research one way or the other, like Kathrine Edwards acknowledges on the stand under oath. But there she is one hell of a correlation, and pharma is all over correlation depending on what they are correlating, pandemic of the unvaccinated, good correlation, autism bad correlation. And the one vaccine they say they studied the issue and concluded it does not (MMR) a whistle blower (William Thompson) came forward to say they committed fraud so if the study and kept copies of everything he was ordered to destroy. This behaviour is totally consistent for pharma just look at OxyContin or Vioxx. You guys lie, it’s just what you do. Must suck having to live with that, but when you’re putting a kid through Harvard or paying for that place at Cape Cod you bet it gets easier saying they are safe and effective.

And lets not forget Dr Edward Kass former head of the Infectious Disease Society of America who commented on the data above

None of this had ANYTHING to do with Vaccines

http://vaccinesafetycommission.org/pdfs/Kass%201971.pdf

Infectious Diseases and Social ChangeAuthor(s): Edward H. KassSource: The

Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 123, No. 1 (Jan., 1971), pp.

110-114Published by: Oxford University Press

President of the Infectious Diseases Society of America stated

First we had accepted some half truths and had stopped searching for the whole

truths. The principal half truths were that medical research had stamped out

the great killers of the past?tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneu- monia, puerperal

sepsis, etc.?and that medical research and our superior system of medical care

were major factors in extending life expectancy, thus providing the American

people with the high- est level of health available in the world. That these

are half truths is known but is perhaps not as well know as it should be.

Figure 1, for example, gives the data on deaths from tuberculosis in England

and Wales. Similar data have been obtained in every industrialized country and

throughout the United States, but these data are cited because they are

reliable and begin in 1850. The data on deaths from tubercu- losis show that

the mortality rate from this dis- ease has been declining steadily since the

middle of the 19th century and has continued to decline in almost linear

fashion during the past 100 years

Similar trends in mortality have been reported with respect to diphtheria

(figure 2), scarlet fever (figure 3), rheumatic fever, pertussis (figure 4),

measles (figure 5), and many others. There are less reliably documented but

suggestive similar trends with respect to carcinoma of the cervix, toxemia of

pregnancy, stroke, and certain other disorders. This decline in rates of

certain dis- orders, correlated roughly with improving so- cioeconomic

circumstances, is merely the most important happening in the history of the

health of man

-------------------------

The ignorance has risen to this level because sane voices had largely kept quiet in the past.

But am making it my mission to challenge these demented, idiotic, uneducated, science illiterate, pro vaccine pharma shills; on whatever public forum they rear their ugly heads

I will continue encouraging people to do their own research and seek out the articles and books written by dissident doctors and medical researchers

It’s understandable that the captured agencies will attempt to frame any initiative to reform them as an attempted dictatorial takeover. Anyone that can’t see reform is necessary after the overreach of these agencies during the mismanagement of covid is either blindly naive or their livelihood depends on its current structure continuing.

Thing is, I think most people see it judging from the percentage of the population that is still following their guidance (look at Covid booster rates). Often the last people to wake up are the ones that are the most indoctrinated. It’s going to take non medical people to get us out of the chronic disease crisis we are in, as the doctors etc are the ones that were at the helm to get us here and they are totally indoctrinated in allopathic medicine - the type of medicine that was ushered in by the pharmaceutical industry taking over the schools and rewriting the textbooks. There is getting to be a real appetite for alternatives to the “healthcare” system that is bankrupting society and is only offering to expand the system that got us here.

When businesses go broke, trustees arms length from the enterprise are brought in to sort the mess out (or potentially shut it down if it’s bad enough) why should healthcare be any different, leaving the people who got us here in charge would meet the definition of insanity, the whole establishment needs fresh eyes.

That’s what I thought.

Check where your FAA gets most of its funding from.

Our equivalent the CAA gets 100% of its funding from the industries they regulate.

Our MHRA, the equivalent to your FDA, receives 80% of its total funding from the pharmaceutical companies that they regulate, the other 20% is received from the government to cover the costs of regulating medical devices (reasons are historical)

Similarly, other regulatory bodies in the U.K. receive most of their funding from the people or industries they regulate, this is a legal requirement.

Extract from CAA website, note I have reformatted it as the table format doesn’t cut and paste properly.

“Our responsibilities

Like most regulators in the UK, we are funded by the charges we levy on the industry we regulate.

Areas outside of our responsibility

We are not funded by the UK tax payer and are legally required to cover the cost of our regulatory activity through charges on the industry.”

Exactly. The regulatory agencies levy charges on the pharmaceutical industry…they are making them pay for the cost of regulating them.

And quite tight too.

Of course, this can be deliberately misrepresented as the industry “bribing” the regulators. Which is BS.

These traits are as old as humanity itself, you’re a fraud and if history is any indication you probably also know it.

People like yourself loved RFK when he was immersed in environmental advocacy, but when that work lead him to search for the sources of the toxins leading to ever higher rates of chronic disease in kids and that searching led to things like aluminum in vaccines you all panicked and went on the attack. Never in history are the people doing the slurs and censorship ever on the right side, in fact it has always been the opposite.

One place to start is the freely-accessible YouTuber channel "Debunk The Funk" with Dr. Wilson ( PhD not MD.). <Link to follow.>

I (that’s Mike, not Dr Offit) have looked at the clip. RFK says several lies regarding Samoa.

1. He says the ban on MMR was in place before he came to Samoa so he was not responsible for a fall in vaccination (with his publicised antivax propaganda), and the ban was because the vaccine had killed some children.

That’s BS. The background is that 2 children died when a nurse accidentally injected a muscle relaxant in error. The deaths were NOT from the vaccine. A temporary halt to MMR Vax was immediately put in place but lifted as soon as it was clear this was a nursing administration error. When RFK arrived, no ban was in place. He had several public meetings where he falsely blamed MMR for the deaths and stoked up antivax sentiment. The vax uptake started to drop, and was followed by the measles epidemic.

2. RFK then blamed MMR vaccine for the 80 or so measles deaths. THAT IS COMPLETE BS. These kids all died from measles. RFK is just trying to deflect blame.

On Nov 2 2004, in a leading peer-reviewed journal (Ann Intern Med. 2004;141:662-673) Hong Kong epidemiologists published a thorough and definitive epidemiologic study of the original SARS outbreak in Hong Kong which ran from Nov 2002--July 2003. The Epidemiology of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in the 2003 Hong Kong Epidemic: An Analysis of All 1755 Patients Why has not a comparable study been published studying the epidemiology of COVID-19 in Wuhan? Why hasn't Dr. Fauci and other leading US policy makers insisted on such a study? Why are all the leading experts content to give the Chinese a free pass in attributing the origin to crossover infection from an animal reservoir? Fauci remains suspect as complicit in Wuhan Institute of Virology research that might explain the pandemic. All discussion of the origins of COVID-19 should start with asserting the glaring failure of the Chinese to produce such a study.

On a related note: no one has published the organizational structure that Tony Fauci controlled at NIAID, including research budgets for NIAID grants and the National Biodefense Institute which VP Dick Cheney created and to which he appointed Dr. Fauci as executive overseer. No one has outlined the governance of those two programs to assess checks-and-balances on the executive overseer. Dr. Fauci controlled budgets and agendas that ranked him among the oligarchs in the rogue states around the world. Human nature being what it is, unchecked power over a massive budget leads to corrupt dealings and shrouds the truth.

revisit James Madison Federalist 51: what applies to the 3 branches of government also applies here, Mutatis mutandis: "It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."

The thing is even though the people disputing your claims have no budget relative to pharma are winning the debate is because they reference real information and don’t come out simply throwing around slurs like anti vaxx, when most of the people you call anti vaxx have taken plenty of shots and are now waking up to what a scam your business is. Oh and when you are debating on the side that resonates with people’s real life experience it’s also a lot easier to win, even if you don’t have money behind you.

Earlier, he was founding director of the Columbia University Center for Public Health Preparedness. In 1996-2000 (on loan from Columbia), he was Program Manager for Biodefense at DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Before coming to Columbia, he was assistant professor of virology at The Rockefeller University in New York, where he remains an adjunct faculty member. He was Chair of the 1989 NIAID-NIH Conference on Emerging Viruses, for which he originated the term and concept of emerging viruses/infections. He was a member of the "Committee on Emerging Microbial Threats to Health" at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies of Sciences, chaired its Task Force on Viruses, and was an author of the resulting report "Emerging Infections" (1992). He was the founding chair of ProMED (the nonprofit international Program to Monitor Emerging Diseases), and an originator of ProMED-mail, an international network inaugurated by ProMED in 1994 for outbreak reporting and disease monitoring using the Internet. He was a founding Section Editor of the CDC journal "Emerging Infectious Diseases", and is currently a member of the IOM Forum on Microbial Threats (formerly the Forum on Emerging Infections).

You know when you make arguments like you can’t compare the health of unvaxx to vaxxd, that’s complete garbage, of course you can compare, but if you don’t like the results of course you’re going to say there is no way to do it in an objective way. If you can’t compare vaxx to unvaxxed then how did all the public health bodies whip up the pandemic of the unvaccinated? They did it by manipulating the data like excluding people from the stats from the time they have a shot until 14 days after their second shot and many other typical pharma tactics.

When you say all vaccines have been tested against a saline placebo you’re not accurate. MMR4 tested against MMR3, but keep going back and there’s no trial of any kind for Version 1. Or take Paul’s rotavirus vaccine, there was no other oral vaccine to use at the time and you could not very well use a needle vaccine in a blinded trial, so they made a placebo that had all the same ingredients as the shot minus the rotavirus itself - but if there was ever a chance to use salt water this was it. So in that trial there was zero potential benefit to the participants, just risk. And of course there turned out to be risks as the placebo group actually had a higher rate of intussusception than the shot side, I wonder why. And if you say oh that’s in the phase 3 stage and we’re not testing for safety just efficacy at that stage , saline is used in an earlier stage when safety is being tested, you’re accepting that safety is tested when the study can’t determine anything because it’s too small. It’s all bullshit. And then when they have to fend off concerns that a shot causes something like autoimmune problems like I the case of HPV then they produce an industry funded study like the garbage Grimaldi 2014 study that was done by consultants LA-SER funded by Merks Sanofi Pasteur MSD that state on their website they provide cutting edge outcomes research designed to demonstrate the benefit to patients that products and health technologies provide. Basically they accept money to make drugs / vaccines look good. Their retrospective study is a joke, subjects selected from their own proprietary database “randomly”. Yeah I bet. They compare people with autoimmune disease against controls with autoimmune diseases just not the same autoimmune diseases. That would be like testing to see if smoking causes cancer and test throat cancer subjects against lung cancer subject and because there is no difference between the two groups the conclusion is both sides are the same so it can’t be the smoking. Pharma has so many bullshit tactics to produce whatever results they require, you can’t trust a thing. They produce the studies which test their products, there are just so many problems.

So there you go, I replied to your debunking pieces, you just used the same bs that phamra does.

Roman Bystrianyk, an anti-vaccine influencer who is well known for creating propaganda using mortality charts that appear in the book he co-authored with another anti-vaccine influencer and nephrologist, Suzanne Humphries, titled "Dissolving Illusions".

For anyone interested in a complete debunking of this book:

- https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/wrong-about-polio-a-review-of-suzanne-humphries-md-and-roman-bystrianyks-dissolving-illusions-part-1-the-long-version/

It is written by an actual epidemiologist.

Clearly you have a "Disinformation Dump" of links and quotes you can copy/paste for as long as you like.

But what you CANNOT do is respond to my rebuttals - or the rebuttal of the book you stupidly and blindly linked to - because you are nothing more than a science illiterate antivax loon who blindly accepts what a gaggle of science illiterate lawyers, TV personalities, mavericks, quacks and cranks tell you.

LEARN SOME SCIENCE.

Do you see a pattern there dimwit?

The pattern I see is that you can’t cite valid scientific sources so you cite crank antivaccine propaganda websites instead.

Harvard-Westlake students were vaccinated. Dozens caught whooping cough anyway

https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ln-whooping-cough-vaccine-20190316-story.html

But all of the sick students had been vaccinated against the disease, according to school officials. In fact, all 90 people who have recently come down with pertussis — the official name for whooping cough — in Los Angeles County this year had been immunized against it, according to county officials.

Eighteen students there have not been vaccinated against pertussis, but none of them has caught the illness, school spokesman Ari Engelberg said.

You fool. When 99% of a population is vaccinated, if an outbreak occurs, some (or even all) of those infected will be “vaccinated”.

With pertussis, vaccine immunity is not lifelong, but nor is natural immunity.

The fact that only 90 people in a highly vaxed county like LA county got pertussis is an example of how helpful vaccination is.

I’ve explained the Base Rate fallacy to you several times before. Why you can’t understand it leaves me wondering just how low an IQ you must have.

Virtually all road deaths are in people who were wearing seatbelts. So obviously seatbelts do not reduce the risk of dying, using your thinking. This is the Base Rate fallacy.

I take it you never wear a seatbelt.

So, this is now your FIFTH Gish Gallop.

It is telling that you have been unable to respond to my eviscerations of your first FOUR links.

It tells me you have a "Disinformation Dump" and that you don't understand a single thing contained in that dump.

THIS IS BECAUSE YOU ARE MEDICALLY AND SCIENTIFICALLY ILLTERATE.

It also means that you are a gullible fool who would believe anything a random grifter, quack, or crank tells you, especially if it aligns with your pre-conceived non-science-based conclusions.

LEARN SOME ACTUAL SCIENCE.

I want to know why Fauci hasn’t insisted that the Chinese stop doping of their Olympic athletes. Why has he given them a free pass?

Expand full comment

Yeah, clueless Tommy.

Apparently, he is an MD. Thomas J Safranek MD. It is very important for everyone to know that his middle initial is J and that he is an MD.

His argument apparently cannot stand on its own!

Too funny!

LOOOOL! paul! never retire! you just make stuff up. and to be clear, I'm a democrat and YOU are NOT on my side. I reject you. I don't need your help to defeat anyone. in fact I use YOU to defeat and destroy your life's work.

keep up the great work sending people to my side, you absolute clown.

I won't even reference this trash article. no need.

Irrational and illogical. If you use Paul Offit to defeat and destroy himself, why would you not reference this article of his?

I think we know why.

1. It’s good info and makes good sense.

2. The comments section shows you in a bad light.

Hey Mike!

I don't think the comment section shows me in a bad light. In your estiamtion it might. and that's fine. the fact is that paul is atrtempting to do what he did when he went on jama with dr. bachner in 2019/2020. then I almost welcomed what he and pharmaceutical sales reps like him were doing because the adminsitration needed to change. this time around, I recognize the cost of associating with bad almost cartoonishly nefarious actors like paul. paul is a dishonest person with I believe terrible intentions. he lies over and over again and thankfully we have his body of work and video evidence of him (which I have watched) over the past 25+ years.

paul using politics is like dick and liz cheney endorsing Harris/Walz. why would you accept their help or endorsement!? it makes people LESS likley to trust you or want to support you. it would be boneheaded to accept these endorsments or paul's for that matter.

by the by, I'll respond to the other thing soon.

World Economic Forum Finally Tells the Truth About Covid: It Was a ‘Test’ of Our Obedience to Rapidly Forming New World Order

They wanted to know how many people would comply with a complete re-ordering of their lives based on no science at all, just random orders, some of which bordered on absurdity.
