Do you have a single reputable scientific source for ANY of those claims you made?

I have consistently been linking to references in the scientific/medical literature, as well as references to other sources, such as the FDA's pages concerning the vaccine approvals.

You don't seem to get it.

What part of "thrown away all credibility of all medical and pharmacological institutions" don't you get?

That was an after-the-fact observation.

You seem to think that quoting the peer-reviewed literature is dispositive of argument.

But it isn't, because scientific rigor has been replaced by Marxist or Orwellian censorship: everything not from an approved source, or anything even if from a once-approved source, becomes "misinformation" or "disinformation" once it deviates from the party line

There is no such thing as a fact-checker: there are only countless George Winstons, like yourself, anxious to stomp out any trace of crimethink.

Or have you forgotten it was Hillary Clinton who called for a "fact check" in her Presidential campaign debate with Trump?

The problem is that your bombast and rhetoric goes far beyond what the structures of science actually say, or call for. Such as

So, your distrust of "Big Pharma" scientists basically means that you distrust any scientist who does research.

So materials science, analytical chemistry, metallurgy, and physics aren't science.

Dingbat.

Such as

There is, therefore, no reason to take seriously anyone who makes claims that contradict the current knowledge about medical science.

Medicine isn't a science.

Science requires reproducibility under controlled conditions. And when dealing with medicines, you have all kinds of uncontrolled variables. Which you attempt to get around by large sample sizes.

or

You see, when scientists have established that something is harmful to health, there is a strong likelihood that you actually know or know of people who have died from that thing.

You mean like Ansel Keys? Or statins for cardiovascular health?

Dingbat.

Or of course there's always the infallible Lord Fauci:

What part of PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE do you not get?

Dismissing science out of hand just because it won't fit your conspiracy theories is not a valid argument and in no way invalidates the scientific profession, the scientific method, or the results of scientific experimentation and observation.

You can't actually come up with a compelling evidence-based reason why we should reject all science, can you?

At least some people who have been hoodwinked by charlatans and snake oil salesmen make an effort to link to material that they think provides smoking gun proof of whatever antivax trope they are repeating. You don't even try to link to the conspiracy blogs.

It looks to me like you aren't trying to provide any links because you know that I'll tear apart the tropes and provide a slew of references in the medical literature which show just how wrong the tropes are.

Oh, by sinking down into insults, you have already acknowledged that I actually have the background to discuss infectious disease countermeasures. Thank you for recognizing my expertise.
