@bodytalkman @DrNeilStone You are making this up - never happened. If vaccine is killing people left and right and 13B shots have been given, the world would be depopulated. I haven’t noticed empty cities.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@Mrmkc619 @stkirsch There is a study of 1.2 million kids showing no autism from vaccination. And BTW, vaccines are the least profitable segment of the market, about 2-5% of drug revenue.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@stkirsch It has an antivax position, is not peer-reviewed, and publishes misinformation. If true, we would be overwhelmed with sick kids clogging hospitals and waiting outside to get in, plus school absenteeism would be 20-25% on any given day since most are vaccinated. Not happening!

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@MakisMedicine @DrNeilStone You must be living in a parallel universe. It must be liberating for you to pontificate on vaccines when you are fact-free. You can lie non-stop and say anything. Or you could read the scientific literature.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@Tara36963 @LynnFynn3 @Fynnderella1 BTW, this is only SARS COV-2. For all viruses we know about probably a million or more studies. Sorry to burst your bubble but viruses do exist and the have been isolated and studied.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@Tara36963 @LynnFynn3 @Fynnderella1 https://t.co/amZyewc1Ka. This is one article of 28,544 results from The National Library of Medicine. That’s only for COVID virus. Routine medical testing from doctors can isolate viruses in the lab. OTC covid test isolated the viral antigen.

@Fynnderella1 @LynnFynn3 I updated my answer as I really didn’t initially respond correctly to your post; I may have been thinking of another thread. You now see my correct response that X- reactivity doesn’t protect against COVID, though I still don’t see what point you were trying to make about it.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@LynnFynn3 @Fynnderella1 Yes, everyone knows coronaviruses cause URIs but that there is no or little clinical significance to the cross-reactivity with SARS-COV-2. 1 million people died from COVID in the US in spite of probable exposure to other coronaviruses. Your point, other than rudeness?

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@Tara36963 @LynnFynn3 @Fynnderella1 Not sure exactly what you mean. If COVID virus, you can’t make a vaccine without isolating the virus, so it was isolated and studied. Flu cases went way down BECAUSE PEOPLE did isolate, showing the benefits of minimizing contact with people during a pandemic.

@tylerblack32 A rare individual who actually traffics in facts! My hat’s off to you! Any sane professional health giver knows just how bad RFK’s stewardship of HHS is.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DeadB4Red_NC @QuantumGuard17 82% of Americans are vaccinated. I guess there have been no babies since 2021 if miscarriage rate 80%. Where did those babies go? Get real.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@QuantumGuard17 Sorry, fast forward to 2026 and data shows no miscarriages caused by the vaccine. You are looking at guesswork from early data in 2021. 82% of Americans have been vaccinated. At that rate, we would almost no births since 2021. Get real.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DrSuzanneH7 Re MMR vaccine studies( I did get side-tracked on COVID) this review shows vaccine safe and works “Vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella in children”

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DrSuzanneH7 I asked you to read the review I referenced, that you asked for, BTW. Comment on that without falsely bringing up conspiracy. It will be hard to read for you since it lays out facts you will find inconvenient to your POV.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DrSuzanneH7 You are off-topic. I gave you a large case review and your response is just a slur on Fauci. All the diary stuff that is being used against Fauci is in 2021. It’s 2026 and the data, which you asked for, shows safety and efficacy. Those conncerns have been laid to rest.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DrSuzanneH7 I would ask you to post a reference to a large controlled study that shows COVID vaccine ineffective and dangerous. You won’t be able to do that. The vaccine has caused rare injuries and deaths and saved millions of lives.

@DrSuzanneH7 The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in the prevention of post-COVID conditions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of the latest research
You can find this comprehensive analysis on Pubmed

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DrSuzanneH7 Anti-vaxxers are prone to delete me since their claims don’t stand up to facts. And note that 13B vaccinations have been given and the world’s population hasn’t taken a big hit which it would if the vaccine were dangerous.

[David Hurwitz MD @David_C_Hurwitz]

@DrSuzanneH7 Start with Pfizer study that got approval. 95% protection 8 serious cases in placebo group 1 in vaccine group 4 deaths in placebo group. 2 in vaccine group, none related to vaccine. You can look up any of the covid studies in pubmed.
