Fyi will attach a recent article I’ve written entitled “On Antiscience and Antisemitism” which explores current and historical links. Certainly not all antiscience is linked to antisemitism, but there is an interesting thread going back to Einstein/Freud and even before

1/n Many thanks ⁦@AliVelshi⁩ ⁦@VelshiMSNBC⁩ for hosting me this Sunday morning re: ongoing partisan/political targeting from extremist elected leaders who try to convince Americans not to take the new annual Covid immunization Image
2/n this just happened this week when FL Gov Ron DeSantis said he won’t recommend the new Covid annual immunization. This is 1) incorrect medical advice, 2) incredibly audacious to think the FL Health Dept know more than CDC and CBER/FDA, 3) very dangerous given Covid rises Image
3/n tragically this is a new reality, which I describe in my new book, the FL Gov, House Freedom Caucus members, some GOP Senators, together with FoxNews falsely discredited the effectiveness and safety of vaccines during the delta/BA.1 waves in 2021-22 Image

1/n So I was both puzzled and troubled by the unsupported claims today that there are plans in place ‘To Bring Back COVID Lockdowns,’ here’s why… themessenger.com/politics/trump…
2/n first, I can’t tell you how many zoom, ms teams, phone calls I’ve been in during the pandemic with both the Trump and Biden White House staff and federal agencies. I can’t remember when anyone proposed or used the word “lockdown” in either Administration.
3/n it’s true that several governors issued stay-at-home orders in 2020 before vaccines became available, such as this one from Governor DeSantis in April .usnews.com/news/national-…

Yes @alfranken tragic, my new book The Deadly Rise of Anti-science: A Scientist’s Warning @JHUPress @JohnsHopkins finds 200,000 Americans needlessly perished bc they refused Covid vaccines during our delta BA.1 waves, mostly in red states/counties. Ultimately they were victims…
They were victims of a well-financed, organized, politically motivated antivaccine disinformation campaign from some members of the Freedom Caucus and Senate, a few Governors, and I document how this was amplified by nighttime Fox News broadcasts, extremist radio hosts/podcasters Image
Anti-science activism/aggression is now a significant lethal societal force in America and it’s taking 2 new directions: 1) it’s globalizing and adopted by other authoritarian regimes, 2) targeting prominent scientists portraying them as state enemies amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-An…

1/n Covid hospitalizations in US (CDC graph provided) increasing, and wastewater numbers in many locations. True, we're starting at a low level from a few weeks ago, but I'm concerned about the trajectory. Some possible scenarios... Image
2/n best case scenario is that this is a bump towards the end of summer and it goes down as we head into the fall, and indeed it has gone down in a couple of places, but I don't think we should count on that ....
3/n worst case a full blown wave that accelerates throughout the fall and into winter. Or middle case scenario something in between. Bottom line: We really really need that XBB booster to come out asap. That's the best way to prevent a hospital surge and protect our families

America's antivaxx crisis: a quarter believe MMR shot causes autism; a third think Covid vaccines kill. It’s extraordinary, despite my battling antivaccine activism daily for 2 decades. The disinformation machine is so powerful and now backed politically dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
I’ve even written two full books with @JHUPress to debunk this nonsense and put up with regular attacks online and stalkings. Here’s my first book: amazon.com/Vaccines-Did-N…
@JHUPress And now my latest out next month showing how antivaccine and antiscience activism is now a full on platform of a major political party and has become a lethal societal force in America amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-An…
