Brian. This is a GREAT post and your GREATEST POST EVER and it deserves to be SPAMMED EVERYWHERE.

Besides being rich in scientific content, it is also extremely emotionally aggravating, in a GOOD way. I also wrote some tweets about this guy, here:

I posed a question as to "does he deserve what happened to him"?

But I also pointed out that lymphoma post-vaccination is FAR FROM RARE and I brought two reddit posts from my old antivax archive of reddit posts, and pointed out that "diffuse reports of lymphoma" also mean that it is not rare. It is probably greatly UNDERREPORTED as it takes months to manifest post-vaccine.

Your post is perfect in every way, but may I make a suggestion, it needs a more trollish title, that will make people want to spread it widely upon just seeing the title.

I wanted to write about Michel Goldman also. But I had two recent posts of the type "look at this vaccine supporter/promoter" who just died after 7 minutes/having 2nd covid in 1 month and I decided to avoid this topic since it would be redundant to my readers.

I would obviously never be able to address it quite as deeply as you did. I will see what I can do but do let me know what you think about the title.

You hit the nail on the head on this one, identifying this strange psychological idolatry in these two sentences: "After all, isn’t preventing anti-vaxxers from thinking vaccines are unsafe more important than evaluating whether vaccines are safe?" and "Thanks to the axiom-enforcing magic of the word “vaccine,” of course, the math doesn’t actually matter. “Vaccine” will self-correct reality". 👍🏽
