Now Robert Malone is claiming the second measles deaths was not measles but "medical error". In his analysis, it is clear he has never cared for a patient 🙄. Let break this one down too Image First, if a medical student gave me this presentation of a patient history, we'd be sitting down to have a teaching session about more effective communication.
The timeline of events is completely unclear. When was the measles and sepsis? What was the source? Pneumonia? Image

Certain people have been telling @CDCgov that this piece by @DrHarveyRisch is damning evidence of mRNA vaccine safety. I have pointed out that the Federalist is not an accurate source of information but had people challenge me to address the content of the piece - okay Image It starts with the usual accusations, which we will see are confessions:

Note, they are for balancing the harms AND benefits of an intervention and want to ensure all evidence is considered (this will be important later). I'm not sure where they catalogued the benefits Image

The patient has PNH and not ITP, which is why UC Irvine didn't "recognize ITP" 🤦‍♂️. I also notice in this video that the anti-vaccine vultures have swooped in to capitalize on her story. I wish her the best and a speedy recovery. Paroxysmal nocturnal haemagloublinuria (PNH) is a disease in which you have a mutation that causes your red blood cells to lose a protein that protects them against being attacked by part of your immune system known as complement.

Well, golly, I sure hope @JohnBeaudoinSr was not under any type of oath when speaking at the NH House Health Committee because, as I will show, many of his claims were flatly false. He starts by talking about ICD-10 code D68, "other clotting defects," and claims cases have increased since 2021.
This is a grab-bag code with multiple diseases that are not caused by vaccines Image

Let us talk about The Wellness Company's "emergency kits" they are selling for almost 300 USD. Image For a group "against big Pharma" they sure are pushing a lot of unnecessary drugs. What is most likely is people will develop non-specific viral illnesses and take the antibiotics from this kit. This will not treat the virus, and just increase the risk of antibiotic resistance

McCullough recently had a preprint retracted - I have found the supplementary table of how they judged the causation, and it is as bad as I thought. The bias of the authors is clear. For example, in this case series - they judged 105 cases as "due to the vaccine" and 16 "not due to the vaccine".
Now remember - they claimed 240 deaths were related to the vaccine to get their 74% claim

McCullough et al attempted upload a preprint to the Lancet server, and it was removed because it was hot garbage. However, I feel going through this paper for you guys will help you spot dodgy science 🧵: 🚩 The authors are all well-known COVID-contrarians/anti-vaxxers. There is only one pathologist among them (Hodkinson) and he has been spreading false information since the pandemic began

It now appears confirmed that Ladapo directly deleted data that went against his beliefs about the mRNA vaccine in the Florida study. Here is the document from Politico labeled "Dr L's Edits" 🧵 Image He just deleted the sensitivity analysis, which showed there was no increased risk when you assessed cardiac death in males 25-39 after each dose. No explanation given. ImageImage

Florida Department of Health and Ladapo make recommendations based on a study that was edited to make vaccines appear harmful, all tweets:

Tracy Hoeg is back misrepresenting a study to try and make the mRNA vaccines look scary/harmful in young people while pushing the Florida study promoted by Ladapo. I have evidence that the study was intentionally altered to make vaccination appear harmful. 🧵 She is discussing this recent Nature Communication study that find an increase in cardiac deaths in young females after viral vector vaccines and no increased death with mRNA vaccines:

@EWoodhouse7 thinks she has found the smoking gun to deny the pandemic wave in New York in Spring 2020. She presented the Elmhurst Hospital Capacity data, proving the hospital was not overwhelmed. I am about to ruin her day... (thread) /1 Elmhurst was considered one of the "epicentres" of the pandemic in New York.

Let me summarise your entire report in 1 tweet: there are increases in disability in 2021: therefore, vaccines (accompanied by some correlations and calculations) Part 1 claims to find a "statistically significant change in disability rate" without performing any statistics that I can see (there are no CIs, no p-Values). It shows a decrease in disability claims in 2020 and increases in 2021.

@Jikkyleaks is trying to claim the miscarriage rate is 5-6% based on their misinterpretation of a study. They want this lower rate so they can pretend the miscarriage rate in women who received the COVID vaccines are higher than baseline. Image "Big Pharma" is apparently hiding this lower miscarriage rate. They get the rate from this study:

I find it odd what people find convincing. @drcole12 holds up a random box with no histology slides or gross pathology pictures, and people believe him instantly. Nevermind that ypu don't ship tissue samples in cardboard boxes

@DrAseemMalhotra Hijacked a @BBCBreaking segment on statins to spread disinformation about the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and ischaemic heart disease. I'm not sure how many times you can retweet yourself before it's pathological - but I feel he has exceeded that number: 🧵 His claim is that the "mRNA products" have contributed to all ischaemic heart disease deaths until proven otherwise. But you can see below, he's willing to even attribute cardiac deaths in unvaccinated children from COVID-19 to the mRNA vaccines:

The anti-vax influencers have been pushing an "increased athletes dying suddenly" narrative in the wake of the Damar Hamlin tragedy (who is happily improving!). It annoyed me so much I dug deep into the claims 🧵 This is a case of anti-vax influencers taking a baseline from a narrow, well-defined population and comparing it to a broad, poorly-defined, and expanded population to pretend the vaccines are causing massive increases in sudden athlete deaths.

This Substack really bothers me - as both a gay and Canadian physician because 1) it is not factual and 2) it's so hateful to come for one of my divas. However, it is very illustrative of a Kirsch post where he makes wild extrapolations based on abysmal data. 🧵 Stiff-person (formerly Stiffman) syndrome (SPS) is likely an autoimmune disease with a background rate of around 1-2/1,000,000 per year. It may be associated with type 1 diabetes and autoimmunity involving Anti-GAD antibodies.

So I had predicted that anti-maskers would misrepresent this study. It does NOT show masks are ineffective. 🧵 First, we have to look at the objective: "To determine whether medical masks are non-inferior to N95 respirators to prevent COVID-19 in health care workers providing routine care." acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

Okay - "Pfizergate" is still being perpetuated by the anti-vaccine crowd who are 1) Pretending transmission studies never occurred and 2) claiming vaccine requirements were not backed by science. But let us look at the ACTUAL timeline: 🧵 Dec 10/20: Dr Fauci in interview with Cuomo states "we're not sure, at this point, that the vaccine protects you from getting infected," meaning we do not know if it stops transmission. This was stated on national TV transcripts.cnn.com/show/CPT/date/…
