Dr. Offit is correct that “it’s much easier to be in the misinformation business than the information business.” After all, he has all of mainstream media to spread his misinformation as well as pharma’s multi-billion marketing budget, the federal health agencies’ multi-billion budget, etc. But he still whines people don't believe him. He apparently just can’t conceive that no matter how many times you say a falsehood, many still won't believe you.
@DrPaulOffit I will again offer to have a public exchange, with equal time, where we can each present evidence about each vaccine’s safety and efficacy. We can start with clinical trials, autism, or any one of the other hot button vaccine topics. Here's your chance to prove, with evidence, you are correct about childhood vaccines. After all, you often point out I am just a lawyer, and you a vaccinologist, and hence surely you should be able to easily prove your claims about vaccines while I drool on myself like a caveman. You game?
In a previous book Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism @JHUPress@johnshopkins I debunk vaccine-autism links and explain why aluminum and thimerosal have zero connections with autism, and why there is not even any biological plausibility to this…
Former police officer in town of 350,000 people reveals that in >50% of the 300 SIDS cases she investigated, the death happened within 1 week of a vaccine.
That is a statistical impossibility unless the vaccines were causing the death (1e-43 assuming vax given every 2 months).
1. CDC scientists colluded to cover up a relationship between the timing of the MMR vaccine and autism in African Americans that was first discovered in November of 2001. Rather than reporting the results to the public, all data regarding this relationship were destroyed at a secret meeting held some time in August/September of 2002. This fact has been affirmed via an affidavit given by Dr. Thompson to Rep. Bill Posey in September, 2014.
2. Dr. Thompson attempted to warn the CDC Director at the time, Dr. Julie Gerberding, regarding this relationship, prior to the February 2004 Institute of Medicine meeting on vaccines and autism. Rather than allowing Dr. Thompson to present the information at this meeting, Dr. Gerberding replaced him as a speaker with Dr. Frank Destefano, current director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, where he presented fraudulent results regarding the MMR vaccine and autism. Dr. Thompson was put on administrative leave and was threatened that he would be fired due to “insubordination.”
3. When Dr. Thompson attempted to leave the CDC later that same year, he was given a $24,000 retention bonus. Dr. Thompson’s impression of the timing of this bonus, in light of disciplinary actions taken against him earlier that year, is that CDC officials were “buying his silence” through controlling his actions as a CDC employee.
4. Dr. Thompson has published two papers linking thimerosal exposure in infant vaccines to tics in boys (Thompson et al. 2007 and Barile et al. 2012). CDC fraudulently maintains on their website that “There is no evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site.” (https://t.co/P9l3nWrsjf). The tic result was also affirmed in the earlier CDC publication by Verstraeten et al. (2003) and the Andrews et al. (2004) publication.
5. CDC pressured Dr. Thompson to downplay the tic result of his analysis in his 2007 paper. He was instructed to deemphasize the tic result by the CDC’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Tanja Popovic, by emphasizing that the “major finding of the study” was “there is NO associations (sic) of thimerosal exposure with the great majority of the outcomes.” Dr. Popovic also instructed Dr. Thompson to interpret any negative outcomes as “chance findings.”
6. CDC also pressured Dr. Thompson to withhold publication of his 2012 paper which reported a relationship between thimerosal and tics. Dr. Ed Travathan, head of the CDC’s National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, stated in an April 27, 2009 memo to him that the analysis was sound except for the tic results and that they should be omitted from the publication. Since the tic result was the only result that had a consistent negative relationship with thimerosal exposure, it seemed that Dr. Thompson’s superiors were specifically concerned that thimerosal’s safety and use not be questioned. As an epidemiologist, Dr. Thompson was justifiably concerned and critical of the CDC’s action to approve the paper for publication only after the CDC took the extraordinary step of adding an expert in tics to water down the paper to state, “This finding should be interpreted with caution due to limitations in the measurement of tics and the limited biological plausibility regarding a causal relationship"
Updated. Now with 220 citations demonstrating how vaccines cause autism.
Read the research that @PeterHotez claims does not exist.

@joerogan A reminder that @RobertKennedyJr embarrassed @PeterHotez before Covid. No way he will go on Rogan against Bobby.

Public health officials, scientists, & doctors took the biggest hit to their trustworthiness in hundreds of years over their handling of COVID.
How does Peter Hotez counter when challenged? More of the same. Lies. Obfuscations. Appeals to conscience.
@maybeitsmercury@stkirsch This was considered “fully vaccinated” at the time. There was no rotavirus, pneumococcal PVC13, varicella, Hep A or flu vaccines on the 1990s schedule back then.
@maybeitsmercury@stkirsch My daughter was vaccinated in 1996. The vaccines highlighted were fully loaded with Thimerosal (Lederle Tetramune DTP/Hib) & (Energex Hep B) She was born full term and healthy, 27 yo, she has severe autism and epilepsy.
@DoTheyKnowItsCh@MarieAngelaW1@stkirsch My daughter has lifelong brain damage (seizure disorder and learning disability) caused by vaccines 27 years ago (late 1990s). DTP, Hib and Hep B. I had no clue there was a VICP back then.
We were told mRNA COVID-19 vaccines reduced infection by 95%. Now we know that's not true. Why did the experts lie? @DelBigtree, host of The HighWire, says the real story is being covered up – and that the lies started long before COVID. 3 PT on @AskDrDrew https://t.co/FCzlmzmmVN
