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

Early 7AM Eastern start @MSNBC tomorrow AM @LindseyReiser re: the tragic Sunday antivaccine rally in Wash DC rally led by ne’er-do-wells, mostly unaccomplished men who couldn’t organize their lives, desperate for relevance much as Hannah Arendt reported en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origi…
This march tomorrow is a sanitized future of authoritarian totalitarian aggression in America, and we must recognize it for what it is, forces similar to January 6
And the fact that they’re working to destabilize our nation at the same time that Putin and Russia amass troops ordinance supply chains along the Ukraine border. These are not patriots.

I’m very concerned about this weekend’s antivaccine rally in Wash DC. It will be a culmination of growing ties between antivaccine groups + far right political extremists which really accelerated (1st here in Texas) about 7 years ago. See my attached links washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
I first wrote about this in @PLOS @PLOSMedicine in 2016 journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…
Then in 2017 I warned the nation through an article I wrote in @nytimes nytimes.com/2017/02/08/opi…

Yes we’re trying, we’re receiving many emails each day from those saying they won’t take mRNA but will ours because of their familiarity with the yeast technology, similar to the recomb hepatitis B vaccine given to children and adults in US for decades + it’s a vegan vaccine…
Problem is the US Govt Covid vaccine strategy is built entirely around mRNA and support for pharma companies, so in this current environment we don’t have entry for the US. Even though I think our vaccine could help to close the vaccine equity gap. But it’s a tough space in US
We’ve even received pleas from US military commanders saying our vaccine could help prevent attrition among recruits, but we would need help and interest from the US Govt

And not only Finland. Yet another reason I worry about all this “let it rip” omicron talk, with premature claims about it causing mild illness, especially for children…some attached tweets for thought reuters.com/article/us-hea…

I don’t pretend to know the inside baseball, but to me Dr Walensky is not getting the help she needs to fix the epic fails at CDC - change management at a fed agency requires the WH, also compensate for invisible leadership at DHHS. Now this, it’s unfair cnn.com/2022/01/07/pol…
I’ve never worked in government, but this situation has a sad familiarity in my 40 years working at academic health centers. We throw women leaders under the bus at the first opportunity
And watch out for those media consultants. They often try to script you, take away any vestige left of authenticity. I’m no expert, but I’ve seen is how the American people value 1) smarts, 2) sincerity, 3) compassion, 4 ) authenticity. Once you get away from that, you’re done

1/6 Being asked my thoughts about what the post-omicron world looks like? Especially for the US. Always perilous to make pandemic predictions, but here are a few scenarios I'm looking at...
2/6 SCENARIO #1. Annual winter peaks. This was put forward by @mlipsitch and his @HarvardChanSPH team early in the pandemic, but I think it still holds up well. Arguably what's happening now is an example. Here's his 2020 paper from SCIENCE science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
3/6 SCENARIO #2. Happy endings. My view: The least plausible. It makes the case omicron = mild virus that infects everyone to establish global herd immunity. But we've learned how infection alone does not produce durable protection esp for upper resp CoVs nature.com/articles/s4159…
