1/ Steve Kirsch is at it again — defending an unpublished, unreviewed “study” that even Henry Ford Health says didn’t meet scientific standards.

Let’s take apart his claims, line by line.
This one’s going to sting.
@IntegralAnswers Image
2/ Claim 1: “The Henry Ford study followed CDC guidelines.”

Reality: The 2012 CDC guidance covers post-licensure safety surveillance, not retrospective chart reviews.

Kirsch doesn’t know the difference between a VAERS analysis and a pediatric EHR cohort.
3/ Claim 2: “Cancer rates were equal → no detection bias.”

Absurd. Cancer is rare in toddlers. Similar rates say nothing about bias in diagnosing asthma, allergies, or developmental delay — conditions where health-care use drives detection.

1/ Propaganda isn’t just lies shouted loudly.

It’s the systematization of belief.

Joseph Goebbels built that system for Hitler—turning mass communication into a weapon of control.

What he did. How he did it. What it achieved. Image
2/ Control
Appointed Minister of Public Enlightenment & Propaganda (1933), Goebbels controlled press, film, radio, and culture.

His brief: ensure every word, song, and image served one story—one leader, one nation, one truth. Image
3/ Cultural Domination
He merged state and media, licensing newspapers, scripting film, and blacklisting dissent.

Art, theatre, and music were remade to glorify unity and sacrifice.

Culture became a branch of government. Image

No Bobby… sanitation didn’t wipe out measles.
Vaccines did.

When vaccination rates drop, diseases return.

When they rise, lives are saved.
🧵 Image
2/ If sanitation alone stopped measles…
why did measles still kill hundreds of thousands of children after clean water and sewage were universal?

Airborne viruses don’t care about plumbing. Image
3/ If nutrition was the key…
why did polio paralyze well-fed suburban kids in the 1950s?

Nutrition builds resilience, not immunity.
Vaccines do. Image

1/Disinformation spreads faster than disease. Shot in the Arm follows how fear, fraud, and politics turned vaccines—the greatest lifesaving tool—into a cultural battlefield. This is about science, trust, and the social contract. Image
2/ Prologue: 1918 flu killed Karen’s great-great-grandmother. In 2020 she realizes the hard truth—denial and fatigue aren’t new. They’re human nature. We repeat the same mistakes unless we learn, together.
3/ Flashback to 2019: Measles roars back despite a safe, effective MMR. WHO flags vaccine hesitancy as a top global threat. When vaccines work “nothing happens”—and that success makes them easier to doubt.

1/ 🚨 Fearmongering about “gene therapy” and “DNA alteration” in mRNA vaccines is resurfacing.

Let’s walk through the claims one by one—and what the actual data show.
🧵 Image
2/ 💉 Claim: “mRNA vaccines are gene therapy.”

Fact: Gene therapy alters DNA. mRNA vaccines do not.

They never enter the nucleus and can’t integrate into your genome.

They deliver short-lived instructions that degrade within days.

📚 NEJM 2021; Science 2022 Image
3/ 🧬 Claim: “The genetic material travels throughout the body, including brain, ovaries, and testes.”

Fact: Lipid nanoparticles largely stay near the injection site & lymph nodes, where immune cells absorb them.

Trace signal ≠ toxic effect.

1/ 🚸 “Kids today get 72 vaccine doses!”
Sounds scary—until you realize it’s a talking point, not a fact.

Here’s what antivax influencers don’t tell you about how vaccine schedules and doses are counted.
#VaccinesWork | @IntegralAnswers Image
2/ What the claim refers to:

That “72” number comes from counting every injection, nasal spray, and booster from birth through age 18 — and even counting combination vaccines (like MMR) as 3 separate doses, not one shot.

It’s creative arithmetic, not medical reality.
3/ Historical context

In 1960, a child received vaccines for 5 diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, and smallpox.

Today, we protect against 16 — measles, meningitis, pneumonia, HPV cancers, hepatitis, and more.

More shots, yes. But also fewer funerals. Image
