I think this paper should be retracted:

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… “Although there is considerable evidence that a subset of infants has an increased risk of sudden death after receiving vaccines, health authorities eliminated "prophylactic vaccination" as an official cause of death...”
No.

@c0nc0rdance OK:
Firstly the time issue isn’t what they think it is.
I’ve worked on vaccine trials and a huge amount of the time isn’t spent actually doing the trials as such.
This little video explains this really really well:
@c0nc0rdance Next up:
Until it’s proven safe... Well time isn’t the issue here.
Vaccine side effects are almost exclusively short term.
Sometimes things aren’t picked up for a while, but that’s a numbers thing not a times thing.
Really rare things need loads of people vaccinated to show:

These letters between Kennedy and friends and Keele university are worth a read!
Kennedy:
“you mean to imply that some well-meaning philanthropist donor might have stumbled across, and believes, the defamatory pharmaceutical industry slur that I am “anti-vaccine”.”
😂😂😂 Kennedy:
“I must consider that your decision to return my personal check is likely the product of the pharmaceutical industry’s open, aggressive, and rather sinister campaign to defund Professor Exley...”

I’ve been following #antivaxx behaviour for some time now.
One scenario that gets played out over and over is that of a tragic death of a child, usually due to SIDS.
Grieving family looking for answers.
The #antivaxxers descend.
“Had they been vaccinated?”

Babies will often have been recently vaccinated, we vaccinate babies: at 8 weeks, at 12 weeks, at 16 weeks, at around a year.

People want a reason why, and sometimes there is no why.
Which only adds to the grief.

I have serious reservations about mask wearing. This is because I see people wearing masks wrong every time I go out, & whenever I watch video coverage of news stories. These are, generally, people who are voluntarily wearing masks because they want to help control the virus.
1/
So I am not annoyed with them, I am annoyed that they haven’t been trained to wear them correctly. If the government is going to demand we wear masks on public transport they need to make a concerted effort to inform people on proper mask use.

@hannah_disch I’ve just been through and had a look at which might have been (at least in part) vaccine preventable...
Happy for input from more expert individuals!

Abortive and stillborn: got to be a quite few German measles in there, and due to diseases like flu.
1/
@hannah_disch Ague: no vaccine (yet!) for malaria, but other candidates for the causative agent could be things like flu; which we do vaccinate against.
Bit with a mad dog: definite win for #vaccines here!

The #HPVvaccine does not cause serious neurological harms (specifically #POTS and #CRPS ). My children will most certainly get the #vaccine , I encourage everyone with children to ensure they’re protected.
Peter Gøtzsche has made outrageous claims about the #HPV vaccine. Gøtzsche claimed the data he relied upon was in a PhD he supervised.
The PhD made no such claim; even when the protocol was modified to include a “post hoc exploratory harms analysis”; with help from Louise Brinth.
Even then it didn’t show serious neurological harms.

@HighWireTalk Actual survey results:
"Despite these concerns, 82% of respondents were still generally in favor of vaccines, while 8% showed serious doubts, and 9% said they were unsure."
#VaccinesWork
studyfinds.org/surprising-sur… @HighWireTalk The survey identified genuine problem. Which is that parents get bombarded with lies on social media.
Luckily most of them see them for the lies they are.
Some have questions...
I'm all for questions!

@tombarr26816936 Right, I've got the book. So I reckon it's time to tag in @therealrthorat and @SmutClyde (because you usually enjoy a laugh) and @michaelghead and @KevinEienstrand @Tuffmann & @stinuslindgreen & @gorskon
This claim that PCG makes that drugs are the 3rd leading cause of death... @tombarr26816936 @therealrthorat @SmutClyde @michaelghead @KevinEienstrand @Tuffmann @stinuslindgreen @gorskon Just to point to one place he made this claim:

@LBC @MaajidNawaz There is a genuine issue that people encounter when trying to read about vaccines online. The World Health Organization and the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety have said that: @LBC @MaajidNawaz who.int/vaccine_safety…

@GingerTaylor @mcfunny @doritmi Ginger? Do you ever actually read that list? Look at the papers, understand what they actually say? Check they've not been later retracted or superseded by more research?
Or just checked they've actually got anything to do with vaccines? @GingerTaylor @mcfunny @doritmi Because we've done no. 1 right here:
