1/3 Many thanks @ChrisJansing for hosting me today re the POTUS statement on antivaccine misinformation. While FB was specifically mentioned the truth is it’s not that simple. Here’s the deal: There are 2 pieces, one being mentioned by the White House, other ignored 
2/3 regarding the FB mention, yes they’re culpable but actually all the social media platforms are involved, as well as the e-commerce platforms. Amazon for instance is the largest promoter of fake antivaccine and Covid conspiracy books
3/3 …but the biggest piece unmentioned in both the US Surgeon General report and the White House is the SOURCE of the information. They won’t mention the triple headed monster. So I will…
4/3: The Source
1. The 12 leading antivax NGOs with 58 million followers identified by @CCDHate
2. Far right extremism now mainstreaming and playing out nightly on Fox, Newsmax and pushed by a dozen antiscience members of the US Congress
3. State actors led by Russia
