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. 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.

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

When vaccination rates drop, diseases return.

When they rise, lives are saved.
🧵 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.

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.
🧵 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.

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 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.

1/ “Natural” and “vaccine” immunity aren’t opposites.

They’re the same biological process — one is just safer.

Both train your immune system.

Only one makes you risk disease, disability, or death. 2/ Immunity isn’t magic — it’s memory.
Your body learns to recognize, neutralize, and remember a threat.

Both infection and vaccination activate that process.

1/ What makes a Trump tweet (or Truth Social post) go viral?

The playbook isn’t new — it’s the same one that fuels antivax and antiscience movements.

Let’s break it down. 👇 2/ Step 1: Start with Fear

1/ What makes an antiscience/antivax tweet go viral?

The playbook is depressingly simple. Save this. 🧵 2/ Step 1 — Pick a fear trigger
Kids. Pregnancy. Hearts. “Toxins.”

Choose the scariest frame first, then find any factoid to fit it.

1/ Who profited from pushing ivermectin as a COVID “cure”?

Evidence shows Dr. Simone Gold and her group, America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS), built a telehealth pipeline that generated millions. 🧵 2/ AFLDS promoted $90 telehealth consults through partners like SpeakWithAnMD. Patients were funneled toward prescriptions for ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, despite no evidence they worked against COVID.

🧠 Thread: A molecular clue to Long COVID “brain fog”

1/ New study from Yokohama City Univ used PET imaging of AMPA receptors. Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR levels, linked to both cognitive impairment and inflammation. A molecular biomarker emerges. 2/ Researchers compared ~30 Long COVID patients to ~80 controls. Findings:
• Higher AMPAR density in patients
• Strong correlation with brain fog severity
• AMPAR levels also tied to inflammatory markers

1/ What’s new in Long COVID this month? Here’s the evidence you can use. 2/ Epidemiology

Community study (n=12,789; highly vaccinated; Omicron): ~7.8% had long-COVID at ~1 year post-infection; persistent cases had worse function vs recovered. Effect sizes vary with definition. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40226780/

1/ 🚨 New paper claims “strong evidence” that prenatal acetaminophen causes autism/ADHD.

But read closer—and the evidence is far shakier than the headline suggests. Let’s break it down. 🧵 2/ The review covered 46 observational studies—but no meta-analysis was done. Instead, they counted how many studies were “positive” vs “null.” That’s not a reliable way to weigh evidence.

1/ Who is Steve Kirsch? A tech entrepreneur turned prominent anti-vaccine activist whose claims about vaccines have been repeatedly debunked by independent experts and major studies. [Refs 15–16] 2A/ CLAIM: “The link between vaccines and autism has been clear for 25+ years,” allegedly proven by an early CDC Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) analysis showing a huge risk from thimerosal (e.g., “RR 11.35”) that was later “covered up.”

1/ 🚨 New paper claims COVID-19 vaccines raise cancer risk within 1 year.
But does the evidence hold up? Let’s take a critical look at this Korean cohort study. 🧵 2/ The study:
•8.4M people from Korea’s national database
•Compared vaccinated vs unvaccinated
•Follow-up: 1 year
•Reported ↑ risk of thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, prostate cancers.

Sounds alarming? Let’s dig deeper.

1/ Autism isn’t caused by one thing.
We now know hundreds of genes shape early brain development — and when disrupted, they can contribute to autism. Let’s break down what’s known. 🧵 2/ Genetic landscape

100 genes are strongly linked to autism risk.

Most involve synapse formation, neuronal signaling, or brain circuit development.

Rather than a single “autism gene,” ASD reflects the combined impact of many variants.

1/ Anti-vaxxers claim smallpox mandates in Massachusetts increased smallpox.
History shows the opposite. Let’s set the record straight. 🧵 2/ 📍In 1901–1903, Boston & Cambridge saw a deadly smallpox outbreak (~1,600 cases, ~270 deaths).

That outbreak happened before mandates— it was the reason cities turned to compulsory vaccination.

1/ 🧵 Leucovorin (folinic acid) & Autism:
What’s known, what’s suspected, and what’s still uncertain.

👉 Let’s look at the evidence, caveats, and context. 2/ Known Evidence

What’s known from trials?
Three blinded RCTs (US 2018, France 2020, India 2024):

✅ modest–moderate improvements in domains like communication, CARS, and adaptive behavior.

Limitations: small samples, short duration.

1/ Why vaccinate newborns against hepatitis B on day one of life? Because transmission risk starts at birth. A single missed infection can mean lifelong liver disease or cancer. Universal birth-dose vaccination closes that gap. 2/ Early U.S. policy (1991) allowed the first HepB shot at 1–2 months. But missed maternal infections still seeded cases. By 2005, ACIP required all medically stable newborns get HepB before discharge; in 2018 that shifted to within 24h.

1/ 🚨 A child in California has died from a rare but devastating complication of measles — subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). This tragic story underscores why measles isn’t “just a rash.” A thread 🧵 2/ The child was infected as an infant, too young to be vaccinated. Years later, they developed SSPE — a fatal brain disease caused by measles virus persisting silently in the brain.

1/ 🚨 Headlines claim the EU “admitted” COVID vaccines were released without complete safety data. Sounds ominous? Let’s unpack what that really means. Spoiler: it’s not a scandal, it’s how medicine works. 🧵 2/ “Complete” safety data = all studies, including long-term follow-up, finished. No medicine has that at approval. That’s why conditional approval exists: strong trial evidence upfront, ongoing monitoring after.

1/ Dr. Aseem Malhotra is amplifying McCullough’s claim that “heart tumors are loaded with spike protein” from vaccines. Let’s take a closer look at what the cited study actually shows—and what it doesn’t. 🧵 2/ The paper examined ~173 cardiac tumors in one Russian hospital, 2016–2023.

A small subset (11 post-COVID, 10 pre-COVID) were stained with a single antibody for spike. 10/11 post-COVID samples were positive; 0/10 pre-COVID were. That’s it.

A viral blog claims vaccines cause encephalitis & that “autism” is a re-labeling of brain injury to hide liability.

Let’s go through its claims one by one—each followed by the evidence. References are listed at the end. 🧵 A/ This format:
Claim → Debunk (with refs).

By the end, you’ll see why the article is advocacy, not analysis—and why the science doesn’t support its conclusions.
