This is nothing new. Spurred by Jake Crosby 10 years ago, antivaxxers at @AgeofAutism flooded email & phone lines of my medical school dean, my department chair, my cancer center director, and the university board of governors complaining about a fake "conflict of interest." 1/
It got so bad that my dean called me to ask me if I felt physically threatened. I said (at the time) that I didn't, but in retrospect, perhaps I should have answered yes. OTOH, antivaxxers back then hadn't reached the level of vitriol and violent rhetoric that they use now. 2/
It eventually blew over, and the university, cancer center, and hospital supported me. I ended up by sending the antivaxxers a message. 3/ #DoctorsSpeakUp #NursesSpeakUp

One of the most common forms of libel AVers through at anyone who disagrees with them is that we are simply doing it for the money, that we are #bought, or #Pharmawhores.
One of the examples they give as an example for this is a HEDIS Measure, CIS.

They purport that physicians are receiving bonuses for each vaccinated child, and that physicians also receive extra moneys for achieving a higher percentage of children who are vaccinated on time. They will often show a document from BC/BS which seems to support this.
#coronvirus update from Seattle, (well, our house, anyway), for those of you who asked how we're doing: my son's school STILL isn't closed and it's pissing me off. I kept him home on Monday but he was nervous about missing too many classes so I sent him the last 2 days.1/
My husband is feeling better and heading back to work. I am self-quarantining for 2 reasons: I don't want to get anyone else sick with whatever I've got, and I have a compromised immune system, so getting anything on top of what I've got could kill me. No bueno. 2/
Shit is getting real in Seattle. One of the biggest school districts (Northshore) is closing for 14 days. Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and other big companies are telling their workers to stay home and telecommute. 3/
1/? Just today a young woman posted a guy-wrenching account of her battle with meningococcemia. She advocated for the vaccine that quite literally saves lives every day. The antivaxxine cultists swarmed and spewed their hate and lies and bullied her until she deleted the post.
2/? What they do it disgusting and unacceptable. This survivor was posting her own story about her experience and was hoping to educate others so that they would not suffer as she did, and she did no ON HER OWN PAGE.
3/? Those of you who want to preach your propaganda, lies, and disinformation please keep it to your own pages and echo chambers and stop it with your mob mentality while Cyberbullying innocent people on their personal pages. It’s gross. And immature.
ATTENTION all pro-science, pro-vax friends. We need to have a follow-back thread to assure we are all connected in order to support eachother and fight against misinformation. So post who u r and then follow/follow back! @DrToddWo @NicoleB_MD @ZDoggMD
And don’t forget about the #DoctorsSpeakUp on March 5th!
