Robert F. Kennedy Jr. comes home to his antivax roots…again
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave the keynote speech at the second annual meeting of his antivax organization, Children's Health Defense. Once again, he demonstrated that not only is he still antivax as hell, but that his proposals are even more bizarre than before. Truly, it was a homecoming for him.
Part 2: Is an Abnormal Lab Value After Vaccination More Concerning Than Death From COVID?
Part 1 is available here. “There is No COVID Heart” On May 14, 2021, three “medical conservatives,” Drs. John Mandrola, Andrew Foy and Vinay Prasad, published an article titled “Setting the Record Straight: There is No ‘Covid Heart’”. In it, they argued that “The issue of Covid-19 induced cardiac problems was massively overblown.” Though the virus had existed for barely over year, they were very...
Study laundering: IPAK, antivax “scientists,” and the return of living dead antivax studies
Antivaxxers don't like it when one of their crappy studies that they somehow managed to sneak into a decent peer-reviewed journal is deservedly retracted, as happened to Mark Skidmore's paper that estimated that 278K people might have died from COVID-19 vaccines. Fortunately for Skidmore and others, there exist fake journals that will launder their study by republishing it so that antivaxxers can...

Tech bro turned antivax influencer Steve Kirsch is claiming that Michigan State University economist Mark Skidmore has been "exonerated" after having had a paper retracted claiming 278K deaths from COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 alone. In reality, Skidmore just republished a revised version of his retracted paper in an antivax journal after the MSU IRB failed miserably in its oversight duties.
Prediction: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Will Never Treat COVID as “One of 200 Diseases That Affect People”.
It's interesting to ponder an alternate reality where doctors who said the pandemic ended long ago took their own advice.
Eradication Isn’t Extinction. Too Bad.
So close to the eradication of polio. But never quite there.
Alternative medicine and antivax: Two crappy tastes that taste crappy together—particularly when among physicians
A recent study reaffirms the high degree of correlation among physicians between antivax views and an embrace of quackery. This is an old finding that needs to be documented periodically and shows why the acceptance of non-science-based treatments by physicians endangers vaccination efforts.
Nobel for Medicine Goes To mRNA Vaccine Science
The work of Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman made possible the mRNA vaccines, with implications that go beyond this one application.
Overhyping Vaccines Wasn’t Pro-Vaccine. It Was Pro-Stop-Worrying-About-COVID.
Overselling the vaccine in 2021 was not being pro-vaccine. It was pro-stop-worrying-about-the pandemic, from the doctors who assured us herd immunity was imminent.
