Ugh #Antivax stepping up their attacks on me this summer. Related to new POTUS anti-science? Thought I had assurances from House @OversightDems @GOPoversight Senate @HELPCmteDems @GOPHELP to stop this after hearings last year, but they dropped the ball.

Many thanks @thereal_truther for the heads up on the renewed attacks. Worry is #antivax ringleaders have followers who actually believe this nonsense, placing the security of my family at risk, unfortunately has happened a few times already. Could get worse up to the election...
I've written about anti-science movements in @PLOS @PLOSBiology, given how pervasive antiscience movements have become I've recommended that we begin providing training in science communication and public engagement in doctoral and postdoctoral programs journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
So far unfortunately the US Govt and private foundations have been fearful of tackling this issue due to the potential blowback. They see what I have to endure and they say "no thank you"
What’s odd about their newest attacks is that they really want to call me a “pharma shill” even though i don’t take pharma money (mostly because pharma not very interested in our parasitic disease vaccines for the poor), so they focus on our previous Gates Foundation funding
But I don’t quite understand the link between having past Gates funding (FYI would love to get refunded by Gates “just sayin”) and pharma shill? That one is a head-scratcher for me?
