At a minimum this Wash DC rally makes clear the real nature of the antivaccine movement and their white nationalist and nazi leanings. If you have any doubts, here are some examples from 2021 (TRIGGER WARNING: Offensive beyond belief):
I have many of these, the new reality of being a vaccine scientist, especially a Jewish vaccine scientist who develops coronavirus vaccines...double indemnity, triple indemnity

1/n When you actually bother to read the HHSBARDA statement you realize how untethered from reality he has become, MAHA pseudoscience. For instance this statement below touting benefits of whole inactivated virus vaccines for serious respiratory infections hhs.gov/press-room/hhs…
2/n so instead of mRNA which can be quickly adapted to emerging pandemic threats he’s going to combine multiple whole inactivated viruses and load them up with TLR agonists as adjuvants. What will that do? Well first it’s unreliable bc you never know what viruses will grow in…
3/n will grow in eggs or cell lines. You need a high titer of virus. Second two of our nation’s most troubling adverse vaccine reactions occurred using this approach. In early 1960s with formalin inactivated RSV and later in 1976 with swine flu causing GBS.
They’re wrong. Vaccines don’t cause autism. They just don’t. As the book about my daughter details: 1. Extensive published scientific evidence showing no link 2. Lack of plausibility based on the autism genes in early fetal brain development 3. Brain assembloid studies
Watch out for antivaccine activists. They don't care about you. They don't care about your family. They have another agenda.
There are a few known environmental exposures linked to autism. They occur through their interactions with autism genes in early pregnancy. I've detailed them for Bobby and wrote about them in my book. He chooses to ignore them. That was 8 years ago, presumably we have more...
1/n The reality: since Mr. Kennedy became HHS Secretary he/staff have waged a war of antivaccine disinformation against the American people on a frequent/regular basis. He did this as U.S. experienced its worse measles epidemic in years, showing zero concern for our health/safety
2/n Here I will list what I consider are some of his worst public statements and acts, it may take me a day or so to get through it all, I hope it’s a useful reference.
3/n first regarding the MMR vaccine vs measles in our pandemic now in 4 states in the Southern Great Plains
1/n My articles and interviews on the overlap between antiscience and antisemitism, accelerating during the pandemic but going back to the 14th century
Many thanks @BBCWorld for hosting me today to discuss new FDA guidelines for annual COVID immunizations and boosters, including a shift away from universal immunization recommendations to those >65 or a list of underlying health conditions as detailed in @NEJM
My concern is that the new recs are based only on acute sequelae including case fatality rates and hospitalizations, but ignore the chronic consequences such as long COVID or thromboembolic complications that can occur even in well adults and teens
While the companies can do new clinical trials for health adults or kids I’m guessing this might not be of interest due to the size of the trials required and the ginormous costs
