@patrickbetdavid You can find any minority of scientists who will take a position that is contrary to good medical data and research. The key is to not focus on the 5% who take contrary views and instead ask why 95% do not. There are scientists that would argue smoking doesn’t cause cancer.
@patrickbetdavid All this “debate” will do is give more credence and backing to anybody who enjoys Rogan and looks at a guy like RFK who is seasoned politician and they then start to get support for their flawed position. This is why doctors and scientists don’t bother with these debates.
@patrickbetdavid Say Dr. Hotez comes in and points to peer reviewed data, meta analyses, widespread safety trials. And RFK retorts with VERS data (basically virtual comment cards), data that is not peer reviewed or discredited (like the famous autism trials) and anecdotal evidence.
@patrickbetdavid How would anybody “win” that debate or convince anybody of anything other than their original viewpoint? I am a physician myself and can tell you once somebody comes in making up their mind that vaccines are not safe there is no amount of debate that changes their mind.
@_John_Shipley Assumption is he was exposed to somebody outside of the team? If not don't they have to contact trace and potentially sit the other RBs?
@SourcesPlug It's people like this that have made this whole ordeal a shitshow. Throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks, all in the name of increasing Twitter mentions/followers. It's sad really. You don't know shit and have no sources.
