Transparency is paramount here. That excludes: Misinformation, lies of omission, and obfuscation.

He chose to make to make public statements, relying on his credentials.

He’s now using copyright to obfuscate his publicly made positions.

If anyone is treating it like an indictment, it’s Prasad and his supporters.

If you’re bringing up myocarditis facts, then don’t omit a key fact: Actual covid increased the chances of myocarditis by seven times the two-dose regiment of the mRNA vaccine: 82% vs 12%.

I do agree a legitimate debate can be had, but not with someone who willfully chooses to cherry-pick their facts.

Indeed. Cherry-picking stats is bad...particularly when you do it, name specific numbers, and then don't cite your sources so that other people can verify them.

I don't know where you got that number, because the rate of myocarditis from either vaccine or virus is nowhere near that high. But the likely source is that you're mis-remembering a paper that blurred together men, women, adults and children in a statistically invalid mix.

Here's an accurate summary of the current data:

That tells me you didn’t look. Meanwhile, your citation is distinctly ignoring what happens when someone actually has covid.

Context matters, and your citation ignores it or wasn’t intended to cover it.

The very definition of cherry picking: Either your choice of citation, or the study itself.
