Trust in science and vaccines continues to decline. Why?
Recent evidence shows that public trust in science and vaccines has declined markedly since the pandemic. Why is this, and is there anything we can do about it?
I Agree with Dr. Vinay Prasad: It’s Entirely Predictable That More Parents Don’t Want Routine Vaccination for Their Kids
Dr. Prasad didn't predict this sad outcome, he worked tirelessly to cause it. So did many other doctors.
What the heck happened to The BMJ? (2023 version)
The BMJ, once a bastion of evidence-based medicine, has become disturbingly susceptible to publishing biased "investigations" that feed antivax narratives. Its latest report on VAERS by Jennifer Block, who in the past has defended Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop and whose history is not one of supporting science, is just another example of this deterioration.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: “The Unspoken Root Idea Of His Is That The General Public Owed It To Doctors To Not Get COVID Because It Would Place Doctors At Risk Of Getting COVID. Of Course This Is An Inversion. “
Frontline fealthcare workers are also part of the public. Our lives have value too.
The Great Barrington Declaration and “natural herd immunity” versus public health three years later
Over the weekend, Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute, crowed about how the Great Barrington Declaration and its recommendation of a "natural herd immunity" approach to the pandemic changed everything three years ago. Unfortunately, as the John Snow Project pointed out last week, the "natural herd immunity" approach has done what could be irreparable damage to public health science and, more...
Dr. Jerome Adams Was Right. They Wanted Them Infected. That’s a Fact.
"Many were fine with exposing kids (and school workers) to a deadly virus, with no vaccine or treatment, in the name of herd immunity. That’s a fact."- Dr. Jerome Adams
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...
Has MSU economics professor Mark Skidmore been “exonerated” over his retracted paper claiming that COVID vaccines killed 278,000?
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.
