      I also note that Lucija Tomljenovic has written some hilariously off-base pseudoscientific literature reviews on vaccines and autism. 16/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2011/12/08/and-global-warming-is-caused-by-the-decr/ …

      Gretchen Perry-Emory repeated the lie that herd immunity doesn't exist, which is akin to saying evolution doesn't happen, anthropogenic climate change isn't real, and the moon landings never happened. Oops, you probably believe 2 out of 3 of those. 17/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2011/12/08/and-global-warming-is-caused-by-the-decr/ …

      Then she trotted out another trope about viral shedding after vaccination. Yes, shedding can happen. No, it's generally not dangerous. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/03/05/cnbc-publishes-an-antivaccine-press-release/ … 18/

      Now let's come to @Vote_Jeff_Noble's bills. The first bill, which failed last year (and I hope fails again this year) would reverse the progress @MichiganHHS has made since 2015 n increasing vaccine uptake. 19/

      It's the 2nd part of @Vote_Jeff_Noble's bill that's truly horrific to anyone with any public health training or knowledge of epidemiology. He wants, in essence, to strip local health authorities of the power to keep unvaccinated kids out of school during an outbreak. Madness! 20/

      If you want to make measles great again in Michigan, I can't think of a better way than to make it harder for local health officers and doctors to keep susceptible children away from the infection source. @Vote_Jeff_Noble flunks Public Health 101. 21/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/04/05/why-is-the-michigan-legislature-trying-to-hard-to-bring-back-vaccine-preventable-diseases/ …

      Then there's you. The National Child Vaccine Injury Compensation Program could use some tweaks, but basically neutering the Vaccine Court, as you propose, would make it harder, not easier, for children with REAL vaccine injuries to get compensation. 22/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2013/09/12/the-canary-party-and-bob-schneider-versus-the-vaccine-court-guess-who-wins/ …

      So let's wrap up. You don't like being called antivaccine? Stop promoting antivaccine misinformation and working with antivaccine groups like @MI4VaxChoice. Their goal isn't "vaccine choice," it's to frighten parents out of vaccinating. 23/

      Among antivaxers, "vaccine choice" is a common euphemism for "antivaccine" because antivaxers know that society frowns on them (as well it should). The idea is to promote antivaccine misinformation (like at your roundtable) and use the fear of that to justify not vaccinating. 24/

      Basically, the gross exaggeration of the risks of vaccines and denial or downplaying of their benefits produces a false picture. That false picture then distorts the "informed consent" process, turning into "misinformed consent." 25/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2010/11/05/how-should-we-respond-to-the-anti-vaccin/ …

      That's how antivaxers work. That's how @MI4VaxChoice works: To use the euphemism of "vaccine choice" to hide an agenda of legitimizing in the public mind the grosses lies about vaccines and the dangers antivaxers claim for them. 26/

          I don't throw around the term "antivaccine" lightly. I have a very definite sense of what it means. 27/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2010/11/01/what-does-it-mean-to-be-anti-vaccine/ …

          Basically three out of four of your guests were clearly very antivaccine. You and @Vote_Jeff_Noble, I haven't decided about yet, but I am absolutely sure that you're both pandering to antivaxers and that Rep. Noble's bill, if passed, would be a disaster for public health. 28/28
