Dr Offit has huge conflicts of interest.

He also exhibits signs of sociopathy.

He's a modern day Dr Mengele

He should have been named Dr. Offal.

Here’s my theory on Offitt

Because he directly benefits financially from the pediatric vaccine he developed … rotavirus… which has harmed a lot of kids- actually…. he’s trying to distance himself from the covid vaccine debacle because he doesn’t want it to disrupt his own pediatric vaccine cash cow… that’s how these people work.

It’s never about health with these people

It’s about how they can profit off people

Bluntly, the guy has an irretrievable case of $ reinforced hubris. He abandoned ethics and science for politics and commerce. The obvious question was not asked: how many shots did he take?

Studies (troponins and d-dimer) indicate the rates of myocardial effects and vascular perturbation encompass a majority of mRNA/LNP recipients.

I tried using Dr. Offit as a tether while I read the books anti-vaxxer put foreword as there strongest arguments. Dissolving Illusions. Turtles all the Way Down. Toby Rogers' thesis on the Political Economy of Autism vs. Offit's history of vaccination (an homage to Maurice Hillman) And the first part of Autism's false Prophets. I had to stop on False Prophets as the condescending paternalism while ignoring the concept of informed consent was too much for me. My tether was cut. If Offit is the best actual argumentation against real concerns of anti-vaxxers then I think we need to audit the entire schedule.

“Respectfully, Dr. Offit, why . . . “

STOP. This piece of garbage deserves zero respect. He shows no respect to anyone else and should receive none in return.

Well done, Etana! I really appreciate your holding these powerful medical voices accountable. It seems some of these doctors tried to have it both ways.

Another case I never quite understood was Vinay Prasad, who concluded rather early in the C19 vaccine's development that it was definitely going to be safe for the long term, despite the fact that the clinical trials only provided two or three months of a valid control group -- and then the control group was also vaccinated!

And Vinay Prasad is normally adamant about RCTs to establish benefits of drugs. But not safety. For some reasons I personally do not understand, Prasad and Offit concluded quite early that long term safety concerns were not going to be an issue.

Then Israeli researchers let the world know about myocarditis risks. And only then did Prasad start to qualify his safety appraisals. They were over confident in the agencies and big pharma. And they should admit that now. They should scream it from the mountaintops.

That piece of shite has been a vaxine shill for decades and deserves the same fate as the rest of the complicit scum who peddled tyranny; a firing squad.

Offit is an idiot.

Even if there is no risk, there still must be choice.

This guy is so full of shit. I think a very small percentage of doctors is qualified to heal people

Brilliant research - a testimony to Substack being a fantastic platform for critical thinking and debate. Thanks for collating the digital receipts, Etana, before they get mysteriously disappeared.

Respect for Offit? He should be shunned like the worse taboo.

Respectfully... there MUST be choice, PERIOD! REGARDLESS of "risk", perceived or otherwise!!
