    "But he SAYS he's not anti-vaccine" Every anti-vaccine activist in the history of vaccinations has claimed not to be anti-vaccine It is a common trope, meant to mislead

        Some excuses that are commonly given: "I'm not against vaccines in general, just THESE ones" "I'm pro SAFE vaccination" "I'm pro freedom, not anti-vaccine"

        The point is if someone is promoting lies about vaccines and minimizing the diseases they prevent, you don't have to accept their word for it that they are really just pro-vaccine because they clearly aren't

        Actions speak louder than words. You can scream at the sky that you are pro-vaccine but if you consistently spread lies and misinformation...

        Yet many of these folks sport tattoos, with nanoparticles of unregulated inks in their lymph nodeshttps://www.bio-rad-antibodies.com/blog/how-macrophages-make-tattoos-last.html …

        While I don’t think the tattoo vs injection argument is helpful, because you’re trying to make very single-minded ppl think way way beyond what they’re currently capable of, that was a really interesting read! Thank you!

        Nope, children’s health defence is an anti vaccine organisation that exaggerates and misleads about the risks of vaccines.

        This is like how if someone says “I am not racist, but...” almost everything after is probably racist. The same “I am not anti-vaccine, but...” is anti-vaccine.

        I’m guilty of saying I’m not anti vaccine when in discussions on Twitter bc if one brings up any concerns about the vaccines people say you’re anti vax Nope. Immuno compromised/ b-cell cancer and ASH faqs suggest attenuated or absent response to the vaccines.
