How anti-vaccine activists mislead. A story in three parts.
The anti-vaccine activist said: Denmark bars vaccination for most those under 50. 1/3

The Denmark government says: we are offering additional boosters to people over 50 or who have conditions who increases their risk of severe #covid19 or who are staff in longterm care facilities or who are relative of high risk people. sst.dk/en/English/Cor… 2/3

The Denmark government explains that it is not offering additional vaccines to those under 50 because their risk is lower, but also - maybe especially - because most are already vaccinated and/or have been infected and are protected. sst.dk/en/English/Cor… 3/3

#COVID19 ripped through the Jewish community and left a bad trail in its wake, days where 3-7 people died each day. Painful. And yet #vaccines rates are low. Higher in older. People below 40 and young moms are not vaccinated, need to reach them, say @MarcusBlimi and Tobi Ash.

@MarcusBlimi

Reminder: until 1964 rampant discrimination - quotas in school, other events. There was justified mistrust of government, explain @MarcusBlimi and Tobi Ash. Included loss of trust in public health.

During #COVID19 - put in small houses with a lot of children- not allow to leave, very hard for those families. Playgrounds were locked. Felt strongly, strong reaction. Needs seen as not met, felt picked on and discriminated. Hostility to any guideline or mandate.

Why was the Jewish orthodox community targeted? Exploded after WWII, explained nurse Tobi Ash in #ncicp22. Often large family sizes, in part in response to the Holocaust murders.

The drive for large families affects the way the community providers services. Also affects how the families see it: children are precious. With large families - more autism, asthma, etc’ visible in the community. When antivaccine groups explain rise by falsely blaming vaccines -

@MarcusBlimi

Changes how they see health, see problems more simply because there are more children, explains @MarcusBlimi.

Panel on dealing with burnout related to #vaccines at #NCICP22: @lynn_bahta on work with the Minnesota Somali immigrant community. Group of parents whose children were diagnosed with autism. New to them, trying to figure it out, caught by anti-vaccine groups.

@lynn_bahta

Panel on dealing with burnout related to #vaccines at #NCICP22: @lynn_bahta the parents in the community did not know what to do - lost friends and people avoided them because of children's autism, and anti-vaccine groups stepped in, created contact.

@lynn_bahta

Panel on dealing with burnout related to #vaccines at #NCICP22: @lynn_bahta anti-vaccine groups built strong credibility with some of the Somali parents. Group of 5-10 parents talking on this pervaded the community. Convinced others: don't get them MMR vaccine.

Panel on dealing with burnout related to #vaccines at #NCICP22: @SereseMarotta as ACIP member, how does vaccine hesitancy contribute to burnout, @lynn_bahta?

@lynn_bahta

Panel on dealing with burnout related to #vaccines at #NCICP22: @lynn_bahta with #covid19 we saw something we don't usually see in #vaccines, partisanship. Concern - that vaccine resistance may become mainstream.

@lynn_bahta

Panel on dealing with burnout related to #vaccines at #NCICP22: @lynn_bahta many of us saw a family member or friend who has strong feelings against getting vaccinated against #covid19 - how do you defend your loved ones from fake news? Can burnout.

Antivaccine activists seem to think a new slogan they came with - “I know it’s early but I won’t be taking the monkey pox vaccine either” - is smart.

It’s not. A thread. 1/5

Right now there’s not, to my understanding, justification for mass vaccinating to fight #monkeypox, and there may never be: the first step would be ring vaccination. But if it gets to the point of high risk for all from monkey pox, not vaccinating is taking a big risk. 2/5

Deciding in advance that you won’t protect yourself from a dangerous disease even if it comes to you isn’t actually comparing risks and benefit; it means one of two things. 3/5
