Sad you think a direct quote from a doctor is nonsense. But I guess that's what anti vaxxers think. Sad times in the world today.

No, not at all. I'm sure dying of Covid is horrific.

Let me rephrase.

The story is a complete fabrication. 
 

First off, you have evidence that it's a "complete fabrication" This person is a actual frontline doctor. Funny, you believe some ivermectin supporting MD's who classify themselves as America's Frontline Doctors but are not but disbelieve an actual frontline doctor? You think it's unlikely that she has dying patients who regret not being vaccinated? Or that she doesn't comfort them? You got any evidence to support your disbelief?Anything apart from your utterly defensive skepticism? In fact, I'll go out on a limb here and say you've got nothing. Feel free to provide evidence to prove me wrong.

 

And as for your evasive answer about it being horrific. It's horrific for all. But for the vast majority of those who die from it, namely the unvaccinated, you think regrets are unlikely? You think they're happy that they made that choice? That it's better to die now than face unforeseeable, unknowable consequences in the future? That getting vaccinated is literally for them a fate worse than death?

I understand.  

Do you think not wanting to get vaccinated because of a persons religious faith is a ridiculous reason? 

When it can have profoundly negative effects on the nonreligious it can. Israel's level of vaccinations has stalled. The number one reason is that the ultraorthodox are refusing to be vaccinated. Their refusal means hospitals get overloaded with patients, endangering the health of those who don't subscribe to their beliefs. When public health and religion collide. it's religion that should get run over.

There are religious issues that are outside the province of science. But vaccination isn't one of them. Why should the scientific community respect the demonstrably false beliefs of people who don't respect science?

Yeah, she doesn't exist.  Call the hospital and see if you can get her on the line. Say it's an emergency and see what happens. 

I do believe in Ivermectin. I have several work collogues who got infected last year in India and they all survived taking Ivermectin.  I had one friend who passed though, he was given Remdesivir.  Are you referring to Dr. Kory or Dr. Bossche?  

I'm sure some unvaccinated people that die of Covid have regrets, but <deleted> it, that's the choice they made.  I don't try to think for other people.

What atheists don't understand is why the religious necessarily need to reject science. In fact, most don't. Do you see Thais rejecting science? It seems to be a product of a particular form of religion found mainly in the southern US.

Again, I fail to understand the nexus between religion and the rejection of science. I've certainly never seen that doctrine taught in any church. It's certainly not in the Bible.

It's very unfortunate that a common belief among the religious is that they somehow have a right to project their beliefs (as opposed to their faith) upon other people. Just apart from spreading the virus by refusal to get vaccinated, increasing the likelihood of virus mutations due to increased infections and the very real problem of PTSD among medical staff having to deal with the horror.

Let me rephrase that. They got infected and took ivermectin and happened not to die from the ivermectin or the virus. That's a world away from concluding that the ivermectin was an effective treatment.

Your idea of proof is asking me to call a hospital and see if I can get hold of a doctor?

I have to confess to a bit of satisfaction at watching your attempt at appearing reasonable evaporate so spectacularly. What lunatic source of information did you draw on to contend that this doctor doesn't exist? Please, name the source. Anyway, were this the case, then there would have to be quite a conspiracy to accomplish this

Some people might characterize this claim of yours as proof of gullibility. But I prefer to think that you have an extraordinary gift of faith. You'll believe anything that suits your beliefs.

Nonsense. What do I believe that compares to your belief that this Dr. doesn't exist? Do you have any idea of how nutty that is? This article has had national circulation. Are the nurses and doctors at the hospitals where she works speaking out about this falsehood? Do you have any idea of how difficult such a scheme would be to perpetrate? 

I did find a youtube link that apparently contended the same thing. I'm guessing that's where you found this falsehood. But i guess when you're up against it. you'll believe anything. Even that someone with an extensive and long existing record doesn't exist.

With that opinion you should be overjoyed that "god" gave some scientists the intelligence and determination to produce a messenger that teaches your "god given" body to produce the "god given" protein that then stimulates your "god given" immune system to mount a defense against COVID.   All thanks to "god",  praise be!  Aren't most "god"s all seeing, knowing and all powerfull?  So this vaccine is then somehow a "god" product, no?

 

How on earth did religion get into this?

 

Other than a growing number of rightwing evangelical pastors preaching a newly minted anti vaccine ‘doctrine’ as they, and tragically members of their flock, slip into their graves I cannot see a connection.

 

That aside, I’m not sure that when seeking to back up an argument a call to deity is much better than referring to some crackpot website.

 

At least the website actually exists.

That's not necessarily true.

I have looked into a number of the claims vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists post.

None have had any value based on evidence, usually an invisible conspiracy or a undefined danger in the far future.

Sometimes an opinion of a qualified person who is a minority opinion, so posts on youtube instead of publishing in a journal where they would be peer-reviewed.

The most interesting one was the "what about long term effects?" which I found the answers to and have shared here.

 

More than once the "evidence" they post does not even support their own position.

On the contrary when I post evidence for the number of vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists that are being hospitalized and dying, the most common response is a wisecrack or an insult or the laughing emoji.

 

One thing I will apologize for is calling the vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists "juvenile".

That was unfair to juveniles, vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists are more accurately "infantile".
