      Does Noakes not realize that this is one of the hoariest, stupidest antivax arguments there is? I was dealing with it two decades ago.https://twitter.com/AlastairMcA30/status/1416643493502484489 …

      Allow me help! 1) The vaccine is not 100% effective. So unvaccinated people DO pose a risk to the vaccinated. 2) Some are immune-suppressed and require the rest of us to be vaxed to protect them 3) More infections = more variants. Threatens effectiveness of vaccines. /1 pic.twitter.com/6TY75MAWKT

      Hi David. If you read Tweet calmly and without hostility, you'll see that it does not ever advise avoiding vaccination. It's about informed consent and avoiding coercion. Coercion to accept any medical therapy as you should know conflicts with Nuremberg Code and Hippocratic oath.

      If social media was around over the past 100 years, we’d still have smallpox. Diphtheria, polio etc because some ‘Karen’ heard some conspiracy theory at the hairdressers!!

      False. These true vaccines were developed by committed scientists, often on basis of personal experimentation. Well described in this book https://www.amazon.com/Who-Goes-First-Lawrence-Altman/dp/0520212819 … Smallpox killed 60% of persons affected. Don't think social media could have hidden that fact from those at risk.

          And yet there were still doctors downplaying the threat and warning against the vaccine, even staking their careers on it.https://twitter.com/ClaireBerlinski/status/1413096646355951621?s=20 …

          "True" vaccines 🤔 As opposed to ...? The field has moved on over the past decades. We understand more about the immune system and biology. Advances in everything from ethics to statistical techniques to lab equipment. Yet misinformation on social media risks this progress.
