1) Vaccines are safe and effective. People that keep spreading misinformation suggesting otherwise are bad.

2) WH shouldn't be dictating for social media companies to censor speech. Even bad speech.

If they want to provide good info that can be shared to counter? Great.
3) Fact that vaccines are safe and very effective means that those that are vaccinated don't need to spend their time freaking out about the unvaccinated. Better that more people get vaccinated & will reduce risk further, but it shouldn't hinder vaccinated from moving forward.
4) The truth is there is hesitancy on vaccines across the political spectrum. On the right, it is being fueled by bad actors making it seem like vaccination is something being pushed by the left. But you also have hesitancy among minority groups & elite liberals on the left.
4 cont) Ideally, we would be reaching out to those different hesitant groups where they are with people they trust to provide good information so they can make good decisions for themselves. That is an education campaign, not compulsion.

You will be shocked by the fact that you do not have this right, but I’m sure your dishonest framing will be a great relief for the millions of Americans now being victimized by growing crime rates.
What happened with the police brutality movement was a lot like what happened with MeToo. It started with a good effort to expose some people doing very bad things, but then it was in a constant search for more villains to the point where the targets went way beyond that.
Police officers aren't quitting across the country because of the Chauvin verdict. They are quitting because they saw the narrative go from "we must hold bad police officers accountable" to "all police officers are bad".

No, this isn't a dispute of opinion. It's actual false and misleading information. They have the right to spew it, but it does not make it true.

I'll give you an example. Berenson spent months primarily arguing that 1st shot of mRNA was leading to spikes in cases of Covid-19.
He did this by pointing to places that had huge vaccine rollouts still having cases grow for the first few weeks/month.

Thing is that those growing cases weren't among people getting vaccinated, but he ignored that fact (not opinion!) to keep his conspiracy going.
Even someone w/ just common sense would say if vaccines (that don't have the virus btw) were causing cases, then more shots should = more cases. Instead, as vaccine rollout ramped up, cases fell drastically. He never bothered to address that & just kept repeating his claim.

*Sigh* Let me try this one more time for people actually interested in the truth:

On average, about 8K Americans die every day (even b4 Covid-19).

~200 Million people received a shot in just over half a year. Unprecedented vaccination campaign. (cont.)
So purely by statistics, at least some of that 200M were likely to die within a month of getting a shot. Esp. since we focused shots early on the elderly.

VAERS system gets a lot of questionable info/reports, but since this is an unprecedented campaign with UAE vaccines...
Health officials are required to check if people who died were recently vaccinated. That doesn't usually happen. If some random person had a heart attack in 2019, no one would ask if he just got a flu vaccine 3 weeks earlier. That's why it's a shift from previous data.

The "CRT" debate is backwards because you have people arguing over solutions, but a large segment of the left and the press keep insisting the problem doesn't exist. You have to start by getting more people to acknowledge the problem, then we can debate specific solutions.
You have a response that has become pure gaslighting. It's people simultaneously arguing this (the normalization and promotion of neoracist ideas) isn't happening, but also it's a good thing if it is happening and only bigots could oppose it.
You have a whole movement normalizing and mainstreaming toxic and bigoted ideas in all aspects of society, including education. Those of us who object to those harmful views must counter them. That includes schools, where parents have a responsibility to protect their kids.

My God with these people. I called her out for a lie and then she blocked and proceeded to smear me behind a block (full thread below)

Now her friends are jumping in trying to get me banned for it.

This tactic is so despicable. They try to silence anyone who calls them out or confronts them about their dishonesty.

@DebraMessing actually retweeted that tweet lying about me because they are used to being able to completely silence any criticism.
I was going to let this go, but enough is enough. Now they are actively starting a harassment campaign targeting me.

Please report this tweet to @TwitterSupport for his attempted harassment:

This is obviously a lie. There has not been one proposed law that would ban anyone from teaching this Douglass speech. The fact that this person would lie about what is actually happening like this doesn't exactly inspire trust in their fitness to teach anyone about anything.
So @saribethrose tried to respond to a factual assertion with an opinion piece also lying about what is happening & what people are concerned about, then she blocked me. Again, if these people can't be trusted to discuss issues honestly, they can't be trusted to teach your kids.
People are objecting to neoracist propaganda being taught to kids.

Left, knowing they can't defend the substance of those ideas to the public/parents, has reacted by 1) arguing we aren't defining that propaganda correctly (CRT) 2) lying about what is being objected to
