Empirically Good.

Molecular Biologist. Let’s talk science! Check out my Substack

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

🚨FINALLY: My first real Substack article is LIVE 🚨

I discuss the crazy happenings over at the journal Oncotarget and how a well-oiled misinformation machine works to distort science!

@Thatsregrettab1 @MicrobiomDigest Do we know the ID of the person who runs that joint?

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@vaschuetze @HeartSpace17 @MakisMedicine Do you have evidence for this?

The overall spike protein load is greater from infection that from vaccination

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@HeartSpace17 @MakisMedicine People get cancer literally all the time

The majority of the time it happens spontaneously

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@JenPrimalCoach @HeartSpace17 @MakisMedicine The jabs do not, in fact, increase your risk of cancer

[Eric Lang M.D. @Lorenzo7127]

Two papers written by antivaxers have been retracted this spring; a third, co-authored by extraterrestrial whisperer Neil Z. Miller is under investigation. Lawyer Aaron Siri, who's used all 3 papers to justify attacks on vaccines, must not be pleased.

@Opportunitweet @SwipeWright @TrishtheSkeptic @AndrewWooddell @BretWeinstein This is in response to a single trial and against an early variant of Covid

That data was true at the time, but larger studies didn’t show 100% side-effect free results and mutating virus decreased efficacy

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@gaylemuir9 @AaronSiriSG It’s either the kooky politician with no background in science or medicine that is correct, or it’s the scientific community and real doctors

Hmmmm which is right…?

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@GusLangenschmid @emilyakopp That’s literally how philosophy articles are written

They used hypotheticals to test the logic of arguments and ideas

It’s not remotely conspiratorial

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@emilyakopp This is so remarkably unserious

Tabloid level journalism simply to spark intrigue and get clicks

If you knew the mechanism for alpha-gal you would understand it’s a perfectly reasonable biochemical reaction that some people get

Time to open an immunology textbook!

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@weldeiry Did the authors save the tissue for genome sequencing to search for DNA integration?

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@TreborJoss @JesslovesMJK No good studies have shown a causal link

In a risk-benefit analysis the benefits of vaccination still far outweigh the risks

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@NelLuis1 @SenseReceptor @ChildrensHD There are two plausible mechanisms that I can think of, but the cell has a way of mitigating these risks anyways

So while technically possible, it’s extremely unlikely

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@weldeiry @SenRonJohnson One of the key spreaders of misinformation in government… and you’re honored to meet him?

Yikes

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@PatOMartin9 @weldeiry @MaryanneDemasi @SenRonJohnson @KUPERWASSERLAB @Kevin_McKernan @DJSpeicher @RetsefL @NIHDirector_Jay @NCIDirector @RandPaul @HHSGov @US_FDA @kharaguchi @RWMaloneMD @Pr_Chabriere_e @Olivierfente @raoult_didier @SciGuardians Raoult went off the deep end during Covid and started writing unethical and fraudulent research, many papers of which were retracted

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@SergeantShultz_ @JesslovesMJK Instead, Johnson trotted out a bunch of conspiracy-addled pseudoscientists with an axe to grind

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@TreborJoss @JesslovesMJK Theres no good evidence for such a thing

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@MaryanneDemasi @DescribeHealth @SenRonJohnson What is your PhD in?

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@MaryanneDemasi @SenRonJohnson Maybe instead of whining about being “attacked”, Dr El Deiry could actually answer the very serious critiques of his papers

Especially the one in the journal Oncotarget where he just so happens to also be the editor of the journal

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@ChildrensHD @stkirsch @SenRonJohnson Almost everything said here is a blatant lie or a distortion of the facts

Ron Johnson is an anti-science loon

[Empirically Good. @empiricallygood]

@DrJosefWD SNRIs worked great for me, probably kept me alive at my worst

I got better and eventually got off the meds

You’re playing a dangerous game here doc
