I remember vividly reading this article nearly 2 years ago, in which CDC official Nancy Messonier told Americans to prepare for "significant disruption" in their lives. My first thought was "no." After conducting some research, I became more dubious 1/

as I learned that "significant disruption" was actually NOT how public health officials previously advised managing pandemics. The skepticism intensified when I saw Sweden take a different approach, and read an article in The NY Times in March 2020 by David Katz arguing that 2/

shutting society down would cause more harm than covid. But no one around me agreed, and it quickly became evident that one was not allowed to have a different opinion on the subject - I was dismissed, ostracized, and attacked personally for expressing my views. 3/

This man wrote me an email (at 4am!) to accuse me of harming people by writing things he disagrees with. A few notes Dr. Quickel: 1) ideas don’t cause harm, and in fact a free exchange of different ideas is part of a robust and healthy society; 2/

Your assertion that public health trumps civil liberties is just that; and 3) you’ve failed to engage with any of the ideas, including the legal arguments or those about the exceedingly low risk that children face from covid, or that we’ve never mandated new EUA vaccines. 2/2

And finally, be careful what you write to a stranger in the middle of the night, as she might have a Twitter account with 40K followers. 3/3

The New York Times shamelessly lies about the risk COVID poses to young children to try to shame McConaughey for questioning vaccine mandates for 5-11 year olds. 94 children in that age group have died, the majority w/underlying conditions. 1/

comparisons between existing school mandates and prospective covid vaccine mandates are inapposite. We've never mandated vaccines for children that haven't been tested for years. Never mandated EUA vaccines for ANYONE. 2/2

sorry this is actually a slight misstatement. EUA products have been mandated for the military, b/c there's a specific provision permitted the President to waive informed consent requirement for military members.

"My nonbinary 8-year-old was so mad & maybe so scared that they could barely look at me." This is an actual sentence. In an article in one of the most ostensibly esteemed publications in the country. The educated elite in this country have lost their minds

and by "their minds" I'm using plural, not nonbinary terms

I am aware that by critiquing some of these practices I am opening myself up to a whole new slew of hate. I'm ready for it! I got a lot of practice the past year.

I'm going to write one thread about the v@x thing and then I never want to tweet about it again. Unfortunately I cannot cover this quickly. A primary driving force behind my decision was the realization that not being vaxxed was causing me far more stress than it was worth 1/

I didn't want to make this a political issue. It is a health issue, and I've always maintained that for many people, getting the vaccine is a wise choice. In that vein, I believe it was reasonable to assess my health as a whole - including emotional - & conclude that holding 2/

out was simply no longer worth it, on balance. I didn't "cave." I didn't "give in." I made a decision that was sensible in order for me to continue to best perform my job, which at this time primarily consists of legal contests to vaccine mandates & responding to the dozens 3/

Please watch my friend @TheEliKlein handle questions about why NYC's vaccine passport program is problematic & discriminatory. Very tough to watch the Leyenda lady, but I promise it's worth it.

after they end, the anchor says that some people claim that they've been discriminated against b/c they got healthy by getting the vaccine while others choose to remain unhealthy. Since when was health equated to a vaccine for a disease that hasn't even existed two years? 1/

pretty sure I am far healthier than the majority of vaccinated people. Utter absurdity to equate health with getting a COVID-19 vaccine
