Antivaxxers just published another antivax review about “lessons learned” claiming that COVID-19 vaccines cause more harm than good. Yawn.

Steve Kirsch as Monty Python — Shorter Steve Kirsch: Nice PHI ya have there in your database. Be a shame if someone released it.

Tech bro turned antivaxxer Steve Kirsch emailed the director of Te Whatu Ora a threat to release names from a stolen New Zealand Ministry of Health database. It did not go well

Steve Kirsch’s New Zealand “mother of all revelations” about COVID-19 vaccines fizzles

The reception to Steve Kirsch’s talk reminds me a bit of Marvin the Martian. Where’s the “kaboom” after his MOAR?

Steve Kirsch recently gave a talk about “record-level data” from New Zealand that supposedly demonstrates that COVID-19 vaccines have killed more than 10 million people worldwide. His “analysis” of illegally obtained data from a “whistleblower” was so ridden with false assumptions and rookie errors that even some antivaxxers couldn’t accept it.

Steve Kirsch, bully, collaborate — Steve Kirsch, spreading disinformation. Again.

I thought that Prof. Skidmore’s survey, from which he extrapolated an estimate of 278K killed by COVID-19 vaccines was the worst survey ever. I was wrong. Steve Kirsch has Skidmore beat by a country mile.
