What an eye opener. Holy cow the Covid madness is merely the cherry on top of what has been the plan all along. I was mistakenly under the impression that before the pharma companies got their liability shield in the 80’s that science actually mattered. My bad.

I feel reading that substack has taught me more than probably half my college courses

Technically, the vaccines are 100% effective, because there’s no such thing as Covid, just re-branded flu.

How ironic that the chief example the Anonymous Midwestern Doctor presents is that of the parent of a child with cancer who refuses vaccination.

Often, children (and adults) with cancer are immunosuppressed, either because of their disease or the treatments needed to keep the cancer in check or cure it. They're at greater risk than the general population from vaccine-preventable diseases. It's sad that people without close contacts who are cancer patients won't get vaccinated to protect others they may encounter. It's unconscionable for those having relatives with cancer to endanger them by not getting vaccinated.

That was the exact reason I chose that example! If you would like to know my rationale, it can be found here.

It's not a good look when you link to the blog of a guy who's been busy for the past year fearmongering about Covid-19 vaccines (including rants about fertility loss and "wiped out" immune systems which he falsely blames on Covid-19 vaccines, yet claims he's not an antivaxer.

Speaking of which, A Midwestern Doctor, which vaccines currently recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and other professional organizations for children (and adults) do you endorse and urge your patients to get? Any?

And are you an actual physician as opposed to a naturopath, chiropractor or other non-evidence based practitioner?

Yo, Jim. Explain how a QAnon-inspired antivax conspiracy theorist who claims SARS-CoV-2 is a manufactured snake venom and that vaccines are all about "depopulation" and helping to make us "hybrids of Satan" has any credibility whatsoever.

Before you starting embracing such nuttiness, didn't you used to have credibility among science colleagues doing actual research? What happened?

This is not an explanation of this doctor's report.

My impression from your response is that you are not interested in hearing or considering what I have to say; rather your goal is to find a quick thing you can focus on to dismiss and ignore my point so you don't have to take the time to consider the evidence put forward. If you want to do that, go ahead, but I don't want to invest energy on my end towards that exchange.

The tl;dr is that a good case can be made that the vaccines are carcinogenic and made existing cancers become significantly more aggressive. There are a variety of ethical issues that arise when you force someone to do a medical procedure against their will, and if you choose to adopt a perspective that argues for it, you need to have a good basis to argue that the benefits incurred outweigh the violations to free will (as the only thing that could be used to argue for it is that a tiny number of children undergoing chemo have died from COVID-19 although it is unclear if COVID-19 or the cancer/chemo was the cause of death). The fact that the vaccines are potentially carcinogenic thus highlights the absurdity of the situation and that is why I used that example.

Somewhat of a parallel has been individuals being told they cannot get life saving transplants unless they get vaccinated (which also has major ethical issues) and then either dying from the vaccine or having an organ rejection immediately after the transplant. The most well doccumented example I know of for this has been the opthamalogy field's observation of corneal transplant rejections following vaccination.

It's ironic that you dismiss Covid-19 deaths of kids with cancer and immune suppression as occurring in "a tiny number of children", but think a few case reports of corneal transplant rejection are a reason to avoid vaccination. The Cornea Research Foundation of America notes that Covid-19 _infection_ causes far more immune stimulation and potential to stimulate corneal transplant rejection than vaccination. The CRFA states that getting a corneal transplant is NOT a reason to forego vaccination.

The claim that Covid-19 vaccination causes cancer has been debunked. The loudest proponent of this theory is an Idaho pathologist whose claims are unsupported by other pathologists and pathology professional organizations, and he has come under scrutiny for reported false positive diagnoses of cancer and precancerous changes in his practice.

You haven't answered the question of what sort of doctor you are - a physician, or someone from a field other than medicine (chiropractic? homeopathy?) who calls himself "doctor". And what's your position on vaccination in general? What vaccines recommended for children and adults do you endorse and suggest that people get? Any?

You're welcome.

I'd like to interview you w/voice modulation sometime.

I was advised to avoid doing those, but I could do one by text!
