Earlier this month, Peter Doshi posted a badly flawed "analysis" casting doubt on the efficacy of the @moderna_tx and @pfizer #CovidVaccine. Why does @bmj_latest still employ him? respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/15/why…
The best that can be said about Peter Doshi is that he's a contrarian. The worst that can be said is that he's antivaccine.
While I'm at it, @JohnSkylar also takes Peter Doshi to task, although he gives Doshi too much benefit of the doubt for my liking, given Doshi's history. covidtransmissions.substack.com/p/covid-transm…
Then, of course, there is our feathery reptilian friend @skepticalraptor and his take on Peter Doshi's #CovidVaccine prestidigitations... skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrapto…

This is, of course, the dumbest antimask analogy out there. It betrays utter ignorance of virology and physics gussied up with a false sense of knowledge, so much so that I can feel neurons in my brain apoptosing whenever I see some ignoramus post this brain dead talking point.🙄
Then there’s this inconsistency in antimask nonsense...

Woo-hoo! Waiting to get my second dose of #CovidVaccine!
And...I got it. No vaccine selfie this time. One from last time was enough.
And...woo, baby. Just four hours after I got the vaccine, my shoulder is really sore...

In case anyone misses the significance of this image, the “Day of the Rope” is a white supremacist fantasy taken from “The Turner Diaries.” In the novel, it’s the day when white supremacists take over and undertake a mass lynching of “race traitors.” 1/
I first learned about the “Day of the Rope” over 22 years ago, when I was active refuting online Holocaust denial and started learning about the white supremacism and fascism that promoted Holocaust denial. 2/
The Day of the Rope is a disturbingly common image and term in white supremacist circles. They fantasize about it. They discuss how to bring it about. It is an aspirational goal of hard core white supremacists. To see it at the Capitol is beyond disturbing to me. 3/3

And here I bent over backwards not to jump to conclusions that this guy was an antivaxxer. But, of course, he is. I bet he’s full QAnon too. Conspiracy theories kill. tmj4.com/news/local-new…
I’d ask how the hell someone like this got through pharmacy school, but I know there are physicians who somehow got through medical school and have just as poor an understanding of basic cell biology that they belief the same nonsense about #CovidVaccine. respectfulinsolence.com/2020/10/09/mad…

Correct. The filiform needles used for acupuncture now were actually invented around 90 years ago by a Chinese pediatrician named Cheng Dan’an, who also ended the use of astrology to guide needle placement. 1/ respectfulinsolence.com/2019/08/01/acu…
Then, starting in the late 1940s, Chairman Mao retconned the history of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in order to sell it first to his people, and then to the world. 2/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/retconning-tra…
It's a process that is still going on today, with the Chinese government promoting traditional Chinese medicine to the world. 3/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/traditional-ch…

#COVID19 testing by nasal swab does NOT involve harvesting or sequencing your DNA. Seriously, it doesn't. It's an RT-PCR test that looks for #SARSCoV2 RNA sequences in the cells and mucus collected by nasal swab. This sort of misinformation is harmful.
Similarly, antibody testing for #COVID19 also does NOT involve harvesting or sequencing your DNA. It involves testing your blood for the presence of antibodies against #SARSCoV2. Again, @naomirwolf should stop spreading misinformation.
I probably can't, because it isn't, at least most of the time. 😂😂😂
