Wow, right out of the antivaccine playbook, except more nuanced fine tuned. Diabolical: Fox News has recruited clever writers, with science backgrounds, to press their political agenda, discredit scientists, promote doubt and instability. The Murdoch’s pay better wages than Putin

So here’s the actual deal: as we worked to discredit fake antivaccine links to autism and with some success with my Rachel book, the antivaccine lobby needed a new thing. So they went after the HPV vaccine and made the same fake assertions about its links to reproductive health

They said HPV vaccine causes infertility and miscarriages and now copy paste that onto COVID19 vaccines. Remember what’s happening. Antivax forces are getting ready to draw a line in the sand against any approvals for adolescents 12-15 years old

So it’s clear there is a direct line from antivax ringleaders to Fox News producers, mutually benefiting both parties
