  • Doctors are not scientists.

    I was with you until this. Doctors are scientists. That doesn’t mean all of them are good scientists. Some, like Vinay Prasad, are bad scientists and bad doctors—he’s more podcaster and political hack than doctor.

    Most medical research is done by MDs. Even doctors that are purely clinicians have extensive scientific training. It’s absurd to say, “doctors are not scientists.”


  • “Some Children May Have Died”

    Then provides no solid evidence that any of the purported deaths were from the vaccine. Claims scientists have to allow for the possibility when every case was examined and no conclusive evidence was found to link the vaccine with the deaths.

    What’s next? Geographers have to be open to the possibility that the earth is flat? Physicists should allow for the chance that perpetual motion is possible? Atheists really should say their prayers, you know, just in case?

    The Atlantic really likes to ride that centrist rail.
