The unjustified persecution complex here is epic. Here a highly successful white screenwriter has the temerity to liken the "plight" of antivaxers to the experience of black people in the US. SMH.

And Mr. Rossio is doubling down in asserting equivalence between using the word "antivaxer" and using the "n-word." It's ahistorical offensive nonsense for more reasons than I can easily enumerate in a brief Tweetstorm. 5/
However, to see a successful, privileged, wealthy white screenwriter seriously make such a comparison tells me all I need to know about the movie adaptation of "Callous Disregard" he and Stamat are working on. 6/
If it's ever completed, the film version of "Callous Disregard" will almost certainly be hagiography of one Andrew Wakefield, the scientific fraud who almost single-handedly caused the resurgence of measles in the UK and elsewhere with his awful @TheLancet case series. 7/
As for @terryrossio's equating using "antivaxer" to calling a black person the "n-word," that's just epically stupid. Being an antivaxer is a CHOICE, and calling someone out for his or her harmful CHOICES is justified. I doubt Mr. Rossio will understand that. 8/8
Dr. Stamat?
