You'd think that Dalgleish would be well aware that scientists respond to data, not to vague "I've been hearing stories" language, which has been used to support every falsehood since the beginning of time.

If you've got any data, Dalgleish, show it.

He's calling for studies to be done because he's seeing an alarming correlation between patients receiving a booster and rapid onset of cancer. He's not proclaiming a conclusion, but sounding an alarm that there's a situation happening that should be examined.

He's a professor of oncology. Who's he "calling" on to do these studies? It's literally his own job. Perhaps he should consider doing it.

There's no reason why he should just be silent about it until then. When too many people remain silent is when things go wrong. He's a professor and a concerned citizen, and Twitter is the right platform to express this kind of alarm. He isn't doing it impulsively either, but this is his impression based on a lot of experience. We should give it more credence exactly because he's a professor.

I think it's specifically as a professor that he has a responsibility to give us something more substantive than "Hey, some of my colleagues are saying the same thing." Any educated person should know that synchronicities occur all the time. Scientific conclusions require data.

As a doctor he has a responsibility to raise the alarm if he feels his patients are in danger. All health scandals start with someone saying "this is not right." And when they are ignored as he was, they go to the media. Any educated person could understand his decision, and all patients would welcome a doctor concerned for their health.

He's not a medical doctor, and he doesn't have patients. He's a Ph.D. professor of oncology. A cancer researcher.

[–]LadiesMan 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You're right. A registered consultant oncologist talking about "my patients" is not a medical doctor with patients.

Trends first, then undeniable trends, then denials, THEN there'll be money to have an actual study.

Telling people there is a problem is step zero in getting studies done. Not sounding the alarm would be, as he notes, something people should go to prison for.

The first step in getting studies done is applying for grant funding. Not running around to the general public shouting that the sky may be falling. That makes it harder to secure grant funding; academics hate that kind of behavior.

Academics take bribes, fuck them

No, that's politicians.

And supreme court justices.

Almost everybody takes bribes. Regardless, working within systems almost always produces better results than rabble-rousing.

A system that provides 50% of its work that can't be replicated, should be burnd to the ground

You think they are going to allow studies to get published.... Or even done? There is plenty of data showing that big pharma, cdc, and fda knew long before EAU that the jab was not safe (1300 serious side effects with the most common being clots, myocarditis, pericarditis, and death) and only 4% effective. Has that been reported by any major news network? The scandal of the millennia, governments around the world working with big phåřmå and the media to force gene editing onto the people. Ain't gonna happen. Even the good guys won't run that story, if there are any good guys left. It would be sheer pandemonium, like the summer of love x 911. That's right, 911,000!
