Biomedical science. Pro-science & public health. Bored of the wilfully stupid. Views expressed are my own and not representative.

I reckon antivaxxers warble on about “experimental” vaccines because they’re scared but that doesn’t mesh with the tough talking exterior persona…

This next level twonk claims he has 3 “terminal research” degrees but no PhD, meaning he is not entitled to be called Dr. Also claimed a UK peerage! What a legend in his own mind!

We have never had more access to scientific information. And somehow we’ve created a world where a scientist and a conspiracy theorist appear equally qualified in your feed.

Antivaxxer admits they don’t need to know about vaccines because they already *just know* they don’t work… This level of stark, wilful stupidity is why we can’t have nice things any more..

And so Andy, who has “done his own research” bailed and ran when his ideology didn’t stand up to basic scrutiny..

Alys fails to appreciate that God also created Malone and so God must have created mRNA vaccines. Also, if Malone invented mRNA vaccines (which he didn’t) - doesn’t that make him the antivax antichrist? YOU, Alys, need to wake up..

On a side note Alys, you cite Malone as your source - that’s great: Hitler also claimed to be the savior victim in his ideology. Maybe don’t take Malone’s word for things..

Antivaxxers like to point to extreme examples of people trying to prevent infection, as if such examples are the norm. AVers fail to realise that their normal is the extreme example.

This is the dichotomy of antivaxxers: They don’t want to hurt kids but they can’t help themselves. AVers FYI: the highlighted quote is a true ad hominem, not what you think it is.

The problem with antivax stories of how health they are, is that antivaxxers lie as easy as they breathe..

And that’s a wrap from “Nurse” Michele, promoter of widespread disease, terrible science and legendary level antivax zealot. Runs and hides, like the mediocrity before her.

I am puzzled why antivaxxers are never proud of their part in spreading disease. It always seems to come as a surprise to them that if you stop vaccination, disease rates rise. Why are you not proud of your part in this?

Plague rat “Nurse Michelle” posted this but I noted she mistakenly labelled “Antivax” as “The science” An obvious error on her part, don’t hold it against her.

Can we have an Inquiry now? Let's hear from people harmed by anti-vax health advice and families of those killed by it. No anti-vaxxers allowed to attend or rebut, and all anecdotal testimony will be treated as unimpeachable gospel. #AllisonInquiry

This is factually incorrect; they publish research papers as scientific evidence and vaccine inserts to satisfy the legal requirements. As usual, antivaxxers make and spread wild claims safe in the knowledge they don’t have to prove anything because.. effort.

Kayla Pollock is a woman from the East Gwillimbury, Ontario, area who is widely known for claiming she was paralyzed by her Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. I want to bring attention to the fact that she scammed me out of $2,000, and there are likely other victims. For the past several years, I have sat by and watched her play the victim after she victimized me, and I can no longer stay silent. Back in 2017, just a couple of years before her reported vaccine injury, I was scammed out of $2,000 by Kayla Pollock during an exotic pet sale. The whole thing started on Kijiji, where she posted an advertisement offering "Savannah Cubs," a rare cat breed, for $2,000 each. Concerned about online fraud, I asked Kayla for a written contract or binding agreement before sending any money. Kayla insisted that a standard Interac eTransfer with a detailed memo line was common practice and legally sufficient proof among breeders. Reluctantly, I sent an initial $300 deposit on April 24th to hold the kitten for two weeks while I raised the remaining $1,700. I sent the final $1,700 on May 5th, eleven days after my initial deposit. I spoke with Kayla that evening around 6:00 PM, and everything was set for me to pick up the cat the following day. Then, literally within 43 minutes, I received a text from her saying she had just taken the kitten to the vet and discovered it had a heart murmur, so she "couldn't sell me a sick cat." She offered me two options: pay $1,000 more for a different cat she claimed to have, or receive a full refund. At this point, I had already given this woman $2,000 and was not about to send another $1,000, as I strongly suspected I was being scammed. I requested that Kayla issue me a full refund. Over the next several weeks, Kayla gave a wide range of excuses as to why she couldn’t refund my money. I remained patient, hoping she would do the right thing and return my funds. When I eventually became firmer with her, demanded a full $2,000 refund, and threatened legal action, Kayla shut down any possibility of recovering my money. She told me the money was already gone because she "had to pay rent." She then taunted me about my legal options, pointing out that she was on provincial government disability benefits and that trying to sue her to get my money back would be "like getting blood out of a stone." For years following the incident, I was left without the Savannah kitten and without my $2,000. I kept a comprehensive record of everything: our text messages, the Kijiji ad, and my bank statements showing the transactions. For the last couple of years, Kayla has been doing various interviews and podcasts about her vaccine injury and raising a lot of money in donations. Every time I saw one of those podcasts or interviews, I would write to the media company and tell them what Kayla did to me, but nobody ever replied. It was not until recently, when I brought this documented evidence to the attention of John Nesbitt, a journalist at the Canadian Independent who produced a documentary on her story, that things finally changed. John stepped in, confronted Kayla directly, and facilitated getting my money back. I have also come to find out that Kayla is still to this day posting on Kijiji using a man’s name, "Den," claiming to sell Savannah cats and other exotic animals, including a blue throated macaw for $8,500. Do not fall victim to this scammer. If she did this to me, she has likely done it to others and is likely continuing to do so. What happened to her after her COVID 19 vaccine is tragic if true, but people must know the real Kayla Pollock: a thief and a scammer.

So according to Steve, pretty much everything is caused by vaccines… This is why Steve is one of the worst superspreaders of anti-vaccine lies.
No one should ever die of vaccine induced-myocarditis, heart failure, pulmonary embolisms, strokes, sudden cardiac death, arrhythmias, etc... No child should ever suffer from autism, ADHD, PANDAS/PANS, food allergies, asthma, ear infections, etc. These are largely preventable by avoiding vaccines.
