Executive summary

Dr. Paul Offit has said, “In theory, healthy infants could safely get up to 100,000 vaccines at once.” See this BMJ rapid response written by John Stone (Editor, Age of Autism) for the full story.

It’s time for Paul to walk the talk.

The offer

I will donate $50K to a charity of Offit’s choice if he’ll take every vaccine listed on the CDC childhood vaccine schedule up to age 18 in one sitting.

I’ll even make it easy

Dr. Offit only has to take one dose of each vaccine. The dose level he should get should be the adult dose where there is a difference in dosages.

No aspiration is allowed on each needle poke since that is what the CDC recommends.

No COVID batch selection is allowed since parents aren’t allowed to pick the batches their kids get. The batch he gets should be randomly determined.

If he has a headache after the shots, he must treat with Tylenol since that is perfectly safe to use. All those studies that show this dramatically increases the risk of autism are just misinformation since as we all know, vaccines don’t cause autism (despite all the evidence that vaccines cause autism).

No contraindications

This challenge is safe.

We know that because there are no contraindications on the FDA-approved labels of the vaccines that would indicate the challenge is unsafe.

Liability

Dr. Offit has absolutely nothing to worry about in accepting my offer. It is perfectly safe and effective. The CDC and FDA assure us of that. And if you can’t trust the CDC and FDA, who can you trust?

If Dr. Offit develops autism, a stroke, a heart attack, autoimmune disease, cancer, myocarditis, stiff person syndrome, etc. or dies, those will all simply be labeled as “coincidences,” and not caused by the vaccines. After all, we all know that correlation isn’t causation.

In addition, the drug companies and the US government are both willing to waive liability for any damages as they normally do.

Dr. Offit should also be comforted that my request is perfectly safe because NEJM Editor Eric Rubin has said, “”We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it — that’s just the way it goes.” So Dr. Offit will help advance the science here.

In summary, all of the vaccines I’m asking Offit to take are vaccines that we give to kids so they must be safe.

The propensity matched control group

Peter Hotez, who will not take the shots, will act as the propensity matched control group.

Hotez, like Offit, has a propensity to:

1. widely spread misinformation about vaccines and

2. to refuse to be challenged on anything he says by qualified scientists who disagree with him.

So this is a near perfect match.

Matching funds

I invite others to match my offer to increase the pot size to provide additional incentive for Offit to walk the talk.

Please make your match offer of $10K or more in the comments here and/or post on Twitter using the hashtag #VaccinateOffit.

Summary

It’s time for Offit to walk the talk and show us that the vaccines are perfectly safe.

He has nothing to lose. The world is waiting.
