This is utterly disgusting (H/T @hagilani). Stanford professor Jay Bhattacharya, who is pushing truly awful COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, is now accusing Dr Fauci of being America’s number 1 anti-vaxxer.
Projection much?

Great Barrington Declaration’s partner, the Koch-funded American Institute for Economic Research, is a HUGE anti-vaxx group (see its website or AIER’s Naomi Wolf or Stacey Rudin’s tweets). Here AIER’s Phil Magness accuses, um,
@angie_rasmussen of being anti-vaxx Projection much?pic.twitter.com/opgDqiiUyu

Ah, yes, Phil, one of the AIER public health brain trust in who is so well-versed that he doesn't know the difference between a virologist and an epidemiologist, yet speaks with supreme authority that he, Naomi, and Stacey all understand the science better than we ever could.

Yup that’s the one. The trio of Phil, Naomi & Stacey are, apparently, the real scientists with expertise in public health. They are the ones who have worked night & day on pandemic control efforts, doing all they can to avert infection, illness, disability & deaths from COVID-19!

AIER are experts in propaganda. Surely there is a plan. Publicity? Harass good scientists? Deflect/normalise the term "anti-vaxxer"? Sow confusion?

Yes, same playbook as the one used by the tobacco industry & by climate change denialists (and, well, in a remarkable coincidence, the Koch-funded AIER is also pro-tobacco & against taking climate action).

And where is the science organisation fighting back... There were some good efforts but nothing coordinated, and the GBD types basically won in the US & UK

Yes John Snow was good, by merit should have had 10x more publicity than GBD.
