I am Dr. Ped. Family Physician. MS in Health Informatics. I like strategy, puzzles, and philosophy. Using compassion and logic to fight vaccine misinformation.

@thedailybeast I'm a MD trying to combat COVID misinformation on Twitter. Anyone MDs want to join my army?

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@lowrydan11 @stkirsch There is no legal case. There is no statistical evidence that shows that vaccines cause SIDS.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@stkirsch VAERS data is incapable of showing causal harm. Learn how statistics work. A collection of anecdotes don’t have to be “statistically similar.” More reports do not equate or correlate with more harm.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@harryfisherEMTP There is no real evidence for anything you claim. Are you guided by anything other than anecdotes and conspiracies?

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@harryfisherEMTP How do you even determine reality?

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@harryfisherEMTP Keep stretching.

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 @ptazer3 waiting to hear your response to this study showing vaccinated do not have an increased risk of dying. Here is a similar study in France.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 6.4 million vaccinated vs 4.6 million unvaccinated. Compared all non-covid mortality (risk of dying for any reason other than COVID). No significant increase of mortality in the vaccinated group.

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 Anecdotes aren’t very good proof of anything. I have yet to be injured in a car accident. I’m still going to wear my seatbelt every time I’m traveling by car.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 Does the vaccine work to prevent COVID deaths?
Here is the statistics.

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 So why are transplant docs pushing the vax? Do you think they are trying to kill you or save you? Do they just wanna get paid to swap out lung and don’t care about what happens afterwards? What is your perception of their ultimate motivation?

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 To determine safety: look at millions of people who took vaccine and compare outcomes to millions who didn’t take vaccine. Is that reasonable?

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 Are you paying money to subscribe to her substack? That’s the grift.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 Simple calculation: 1) what do you think is the likelihood you will die from a Covid vaccine? 2) What is the likelihood of you dying without a lung transplant? If #2 is > #1, logic would dictate getting the vaccine. Would that help your decision making?

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 If you are willing, you can pick any specific claim by Dr Wolf and let’s see how she can be proven wrong with real evidence.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 Dr Wolf has a doctorate in English.
Your strong bias is making you look for reasons to confirm your beliefs and not to get the vaccine. What would convince you that the vaccine are safe? If you say “nothing,” it confirms you are very biased.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 There’s the problem. You didn’t do research. You just listened to grifters who don’t use real evidence. The “75yr Pfizer” the thing isn’t the conspiracy you think it is. Google “what is the 75 yr pfizer thing”. Sorry about your brother. That would cause a strong bias in anyone.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@ptazer3 @ValerieAnne1970 If you took time to truly learn about the Covid vaccines and give up on your conspiratorial beliefs, it could literally save your life. Everything you have learned on X and social media about the COVID vaccine is likely wrong.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@NicHulscher Where’s the placebo group for comparison? You can’t determine causation without a comparison group.

[Ped B, MD @imdrped]

@BeKnown84553 @MaryBowdenMD Do you think we should rely on anecdotes?
