ZOHO’s co-founder and Chief Scientist, Sridhar Vembu, went on a tirade online slamming healthcare experts, doctors, neonatal care specialists, and others with domain expertise on vaccines. Quoting a shoddy research work on X (Twitter), Vembu quipped,

Parents should take this analysis seriously. I believe there is increasing evidence that we are giving way too many vaccines to very young children. This is spreading in India too and we are seeing a rapid increase in autism in India.

He is actively responding to every physician and expert on Twitter, trying to downplay their credentials with arguments that can be picked for examples of all sorts of logical fallacies. When one doctor stated,

This is utterly irresponsible. Luckily people don’t listen to folk like you; otherwise we would have an infectious disease crisis on our hands.

Vembu wrote

You are a hyperspecialist in neonatal care. You cannot possibly _scientifically_ know all the _long-term_ effects of every shot we give young babies because you do not clinically see those neonatal babies once they grow out of that stage.

Vembu added,

Please cultivate an open, curious mind, doctor—professional arrogance arising from your institutional pedigree is completely unbecoming of a scientist. Your kind of hyper-specialization is itself a serious crisis in medicine today.

Dr Cyric Abby Phillips, popularly known as the Liver Doctor on Twitter, tried instilling some sense, whilst debunking the arguments, imploring Zoho’s chief scientist to stop,

The doctor remarked,

For the public and patients, please do not stop vaccinating your children. You don’t want polio to come back. You don’t want measles to kill your child like it is doing in the US because boomer uncles in charge of US Health Departments have become anti science.

The conclusions of this study are not credible either. The “authors” who themselves are a bunch of antivaxxers, funded by an antivaxx organization, who published the study on their own antivaxx website. Not peer reviewed, not scrutinized.

The low IQ authors have selectively amplified weaker associations while dismissing robust epidemiological data from millions showing no vaccine-autism link.

He added,

The largest study ever on this, a Danish study found no association between childhood vaccines and 50 different health conditions, including autism, asthma, and autoimmune diseases. Here is the evidence, unlike the pathetic links shown by the other guy.

Further the hepatologist continued in his trademark jibe

I had already called out this barefoot walking, urine-guzzling loving CEO boomer uncle before on his bullshit on medical and science, but it seems like he needs to bad mouth science and medical discoveries to keep his head floating above water level on social media considering the fact that his Arattai Messenger App and his Zohodotcom email is going the Koo way right into the gutters.

These health Illiterates have themselves taken these vaccines, given their children their vaccines, and saw them enjoy longevity and now advising others to consider stopping vaccinations. How selfish and bigoted can this get?

The doctor further advised the Zoho chief

Uncle ji, a wise Gujarati chessmaster once told me, “Stay in your Lane”, before he got busted out of his game trying to glorify pseudoscience. You also do the same and use the X payout from this engagement to fix your Arattai and Cherattai and whatever third rate app you are cooking up to fool your spinal level thinking bhakt pals. Ok?

Delete your post you lime soda without fizz.

However, an adamant anti-vaxxer remarked

I will not delete my post. I stand by what I said. The term “Dodgy western source” should be applied to FDA and CDC recommendations, by the way. Those institutions do not deserve blind faith. The brave doctors who are questioning the dogma are doing a valuable service. Science progresses only when we question dogma and what you are peddling is dogma, in the name of “Science”.

Parents should take this analysis seriously. I believe there is increasing evidence that we are giving way too many vaccines to very young children. This is spreading in India too and we are seeing a rapid increase in autism in India. https://t.co/AeiVaieYug

Thiru @svembu, I urge you to delete your post; you are being devastatingly reckless and pose a threat to public health. This is India with high burden of vaccine-preventable communicable diseases. How could you cite dodgy ‘western’ source to make such a sweeping recommendation?… https://t.co/qO9KCiXbat

You are a hyper specialist in neo-natal care. You cannot possibly _scientifically_ know all the _long term_ effects of every shot we give young babies because you do not clinically see those neo-natal babies once they grow out of that stage.

Please cultivate an open curious mind…
